 Whilst it is possible that these records refer to the like-named Owain Foel, King of Strathclyde, there is evidence indicating that this man lived on years afterwards, and there is no reason to disregard the aforesaid obituaries as erroneous.If the like-named men are indeed different people, they could well have been closely related, with the latter perhaps being a son of Owain's brother Máel Coluim.The likelihood that there were indeed two contemporary Cumbrian rulers named "Owain" could account for Owain Foel's epithet (meaning "the bald").
