Ceredig was born in his father Cunedda's original homeland of Manau Gododdin around the Upper Firth of Forth. When called upon to expel Irish invaders from North Wales in the early 5th century, he travelled south, with the rest of his family. He fought bravely against the advancing Gaels and his father rewarded him with the most southern area of his new kingdom, bordering on Dyfed, possibly including part of the Cantref Gwaelod. The region became so associated with Ceredig that the people named it Ceredigion after him.


Cardiganshire is a county of South Wales. Encyclop. Britannica: "In the post-Roman days the whole basin of the Teifi is
said to have fallen to the power of Ceredig, son of Cunedda Wledig of north Wales, and from Ceredig's name has been
derived that of the present county." ('56 Ed., 4:853)

Ceredig married Meleri ferch Brychan [60045] [MRIN: 551616659], daughter of Brychan Brycheiniog King of Brycheiniog [60046] and Prawst ferch Tudwal [60047].
