Mevanvy's burial was in Snowdon, Caernarvonshire, which lay in the ancient kingdom of Gwynydd, for some reason given precedence by the Findagrave list over the more modern Countay-- a preferable state of affairs to assigning the poor woman some centuries-postumous "council zone" or "postal code" as a final resting place. At least people in Snowdon back then knew that they lived in a kingdom once called Gwynned (before the Normans came in and rearranged everything).
Her concubinage to Jasper Tudor is documented in William Dugdale's Baronage of England, along with the marriage of their illegitimate dg Ellen to William Gardiner (vol iii, pp 241-2).
