Caradog ap Meirion (circa 730 – 798), noto come Caratacus in latino e Caractacus in inglese, sovrano del Regno di Gwynedd dal 754.
Per questa ragione Caradog ritenne di poter reclamare il trono dopo la morte di Rhodri.
Non si conosce l’esatta data dell’usurpazione di Caradog, che probabilmente avvenne tra il 754 e il 768.

 Meirion Meirionydd - son or grandson of Cunedda?
If we were to agree with this meaning, we must believe that Tybion ap Cunedda died before the family went to Wales and that Tybion's son Meirion divvied up his property among his uncles, keeping nothing for himself.
We think it is reasonable to conclude that the 9th son was Meirion and that Tybion was mentioned only to say there had been a firstborn son who was not being counted because he died early and without issue.
It is not known who actually was the eldest of these (we would opt for Einion Yrth based upon his lineage becoming kings of Gwynedd) but we find his role as the divider of the possessions marks Meirion as the youngest.

Gwynedd was apparently ruled by several members of the royal house after the death of Rhodri ap Idwal in 754, one perhaps on the island stronghold of Anglesey and others on the mainland.
Caradog ap Meirion, perhaps a distant cousin of Rhodri ap Idwal by way of Cunedda's grandson Owain ap Einion, was apparently initially the ruler of the mainland cantref of Rhos*.
Caradog seems to have met his death in battle with the Saxons under Cenwulf, although other sources suggest he was strangled.

 EBK: King Hywel Farf-Fehinog of Gwynedd
Hywel Greasy-Beard was probably still quite young when his father, King Caradog ap Meirion of Gwynedd, died in AD 798.
Unfortunately, Caradog had usurped the throne from the rightful Royal dynasty forty-four years before, so it probably came as no surprise when their heir, Cynan Dindaethwy, reclaimed his crown.
He left no obvious heir at the time of his death, in AD 825, and the throne was seized by Cynan's maternal grandson, King Merfyn Frych of Ynys Manaw (Isle of Man).

The sons of Gruffydd [ap Cynan] of Gwynedd succeeded in expelling the Normans from Gwynedd.
King Owain "Gwynedd" suffered a major defeat against the English King Henry II in 1152, and was obliged to change his title from "king" to "prince" acknowledging English overlordship, and reducing Wales in status from an independent national kingdom to a principality of the English kingdom.

 Hywel ap Rhodri Molwynog at AllExperts
Hywel ap Rhodri Molwynog (died 825), called in some genealogies Hywel Farf-fehinog ap Caradog, was a king of Gwynedd.
Hywel is said to have been a son of Rhodri Molwynog and brother of Cynan Dindaethwy ap Rhodri.
He was followed on the throne by Merfyn Frych ap Gwriad - a prince from a cadet branch of Manaw Gododdin - and thus Cunedda's blood was passed on to the new lineage through him and through Ethyllt, the daughter of Cynan Dindaethwy.
