About Cyngen Glodrydd
Lived 470 – 547 (aged 76–77). Cyngen Glodrydd was a king.
Cyngen Glodrydd was a semi-legendary early sixth-century King of Powys.
Cyngen was a descendant of Cadell Ddyrnllwg, probably his son. Cyngen married Tudglid ferch Brychan, resulting in a large family: Brochwel Ysgithrog, Cadell, Ieuaf, Maig Myngfras, Mawn and Sanan. More recent research has suggested the so-called Cadfan Stone is of much later date, perhaps the eighth or ninth century, and does not commemorate Cyngen or Cadfan at all.
