Cyngen Ap Cadell
Cyngen ap Cadell (also spelled Concenn) was King of Powys from 808 until his death in 854 during a pilgrimage to Rome. Biography Cyngen was of the line of Brochwel Ysgithrog, and, after a long reign as king of Powys, he went on a pilgrimage to Rome and died there in 854. He is thought to be the first Welsh ruler to visit Rome after the healing of the breach between the Welsh branch of the Celtic Church and Rome over the date of Easter. Cyngen raised a pillar, originally a round-shafted cross, in memory of his great-grandfather Elisedd ap Gwylog which stands near the later abbey of Valle Crucis. This memorial had a lengthy inscription and is known as the Pillar of Eliseg owing to a typographical mistake by the original carver. Cyngen was the last of the original line of kings of Powys of the Gwertherion dynasty. He had three sons, but on his death Powys was annexed by Rhodri Mawr, ruler of Gwynedd Gwynedd () is a county in the north-west of Wales. It borders Ang ...

List Of Rulers Of Wales
This is a list of rulers in Wales (; and neighbouring regions) during the Middle Ages, between . The rulers were monarchs who ruled their respective realms, as well as those who briefly ruled the Principality of Wales. These former territories are now within the boundaries of modern-day Wales and the neighbouring Welsh Marches in England (both in the United Kingdom). Before the Conquest of Wales, completed in 1283, Wales consisted of several independent realms, the most important being Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth (originally Ceredigion, Seisyllwg and Dyfed) and Morgannwg (Glywysing and Gwent). Boundary changes and the custom of dividing patrimonies between heirs meant that few princes ever came close to ruling the whole of Wales. The names of those known to have ruled over one or more areas are listed below. Boundaries changed frequently. The only person known to have ruled all of Wales as a modern territory was Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (c. 1010–1063), a Prince of Gwynedd ...

Monarchs Of Powys
A monarch () is a head of stateWebster's II New College Dictionary. "Monarch". Houghton Mifflin. Boston. 2001. p. 707. for life or until abdication, and therefore the head of state of a monarchy. A monarch may exercise the highest authority and power in the state, or others may wield that power on behalf of the monarch. Usually, a monarch either personally inherits the lawful right to exercise the state's sovereign rights (often referred to as ''the throne'' or ''the crown'') or is selected by an established process from a family or cohort eligible to provide the nation's monarch. Alternatively, an individual may proclaim oneself monarch, which may be backed and legitimated through acclamation, right of conquest or a combination of means. If a young child is crowned the monarch, then a regent is often appointed to govern until the monarch reaches the requisite adult age to rule. Monarchs' actual powers vary from one monarchy to another and in different eras; on one extreme, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Family Tree Of Welsh Monarchs
This is the family tree of the kings of the respective Welsh medieval kingdoms of Kingdom of Gwynedd, Gwynedd, Deheubarth and Kingdom of Powys, Powys, and some of their more prominent relatives and heirs as the direct male line descendants of Cunedda Wledig of List of rulers of Gwynedd, Gwynedd (4011283), and Vortigern, Gwrtheyrn of List of monarchs of Powys, Powys (c. 5th century1160), then also the separate Welsh kingdoms and petty kingdoms, and then eventually Powys Fadog until the 15th century and also the family of the Tudors of Penmynydd. However, the early generations of these genealogies are traditional, and their historical accuracy is debated by scholars. References {{Family trees Family trees of royalty, Wales ...

Cynan Dindaethwy
Cynan Dindaethwy () or Cynan ap Rhodri ("Cynan son of Rhodri") was a king of Gwynedd (reigned c. 798 – c. 816) in Wales in the early Middle Ages. Cynan was the son of Rhodri Molwynog and ascended to the throne of Gwynedd upon the death of King Caradog ap Meirion in 798. His epithet refers to the commote of Dindaethwy in the cantref Rhosyr. Unlike later kings of Gwynedd, usually resident at Aberffraw in western Anglesey, Cynan maintained his court at Llanfaes on the southeastern coast. Cynan's reign was marked by a destructive dynastic power struggle with a rival named Hywel ap Caradog, usually supposed to be his brother. (One source, the genealogy in Jesus College MS. 20, gives him as the son of Caradog ap Meirion, hence "ap Caradog".) Rhodri died in 754, but there is no mention of Cynan until 813; thus it is suggested in ''Y Bywgraffiadur Cymreig'' that there is an error in his pedigree. It is said that he and Caradog may have been cousins. Another possibility is that h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nest Ferch Cadell
Nest ferch Cadell was the daughter of Cadell ap Brochfael, an 8th-century King of Powys, the wife of Merfyn Frych, King of Gwynedd. On the death of her brother Cyngen ap Cadell in 855, authority over the Kingdom of Powys was claimed by Rhodri the Great, who had previously inherited the Kingdom of Gwynedd on the death of his father in 844. Rhodri thus united the Kingdoms of Powys and Gwynedd. Traditionally, Nest was claimed to be Rhodri's mother, hence his claim to Powys would have been matrilineal. However, it is unclear why the inheritance of Powys would have passed through Nest to her son and not to one of the sons of Cyngen: Elisedd ap Cyngen, Ieuaf ap Cyngen, Aeddan ap Cyngen and Gruffudd ap Cyngen. The texts of Welsh laws which survive until today were written down starting with the 12th century, but they provide no evidence that women were capable of transmitting legal title of kingship or lordship. Equally, although Rhodri's pedigree in a manuscript in Jesus College Ox ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
