Ceredig Ceredigion


Ceredigion King was born around 420 in the UK kingdom of Manaw Gododdin, centered on Forth's Upper Firth.

Ceredig (Latin: Caratacus; English: Caractacus;

Cunedda Wledig's son came to Wales from Clackmannanshire with his father's family when they were called at the beginning of the fifth century to help repel the Irish invaders from northern Wales. As a reward for the courage shown in battle, Father Cunedda gave him the southern part of the northwest Wales territories torn by the Irish, bordering on the Dyfed, which perhaps included part of the Cantref Gwaelod. The kingdom was named Ceredigion (Ceredig's Land) in his honor. This name then became Cardiganshire in English form but was reintroduced in 1974 by the administrative reorganization of Wales. Today indicates a county.

Among his sons Sandde, who would have raped an Irish nobleman, made a nun, creating the future Saint David, Patron of Wales. Links externalize the wikitesto
