Ceredig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ceredig, king of Ceredigion, may have been born c. 420 AD in the Brythonic kingdom of Manaw Gododdin (approximating modern Clackmannanshire in Scotland), centred on the Firth of Forth in the area known as Yr Hen Ogledd.
Little is known of him. One of the sons of Cunedda, according to tradition, he arrived in what is now modern Wales from Gododdin with his father's family when they were invited to help ward off Irish invaders. As a reward for his bravery, his father gave him the southernmost part of the territories in north-west Wales reconquered from the Irish. The realm came to be called Ceredigion after him.
