Cynewald is said to have been a King of the Iclingas. He is listed at [1]

Iclingas

"The Iclingas (also Iclings or House of Icel) were a dynasty of Kings of Mercia during the 7th and 8th centuries, named for Icel or Icil, great-grandson of Offa of Angel, a legendary or semi-legendary figure of the Migration Period who was in turn made to descend from Woden by the Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies. The Iclingas reached the height of their power under Offa of Mercia (r. 757–796), who achieved hegemony over the other Anglo-Saxon states, and proclaimed himself "King of the English", but the dynasty lost control of Mercia soon after his death.

Ap Cnebba-1 and Mercia-226 appear to represent the same person because: Based the names, dates, who the son is, etc., they're the same person.
