  Gwynedd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the new Gwynedd covers most of the traditional counties of Caernarfonshire (less the part in the borough of Conwy) and Merionethshire, the reconstituted area was originally named Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire.
A Gwynedd Constabulary was formed in 1950 from the merger of the Anglesey, Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire forces.
To prevent confusion, the Gwynedd Constabulary was therefore renamed the North Wales Police.

 Kingdom of Gwynedd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
/'gwɪnɛð/) was one of the kingdoms or principalities of medieval Wales.
Gwynedd covered part of the territory of the Ordovices, but tradition traced the kingdom's foundation to Cunedda, who migrated with his sons and followers from what is now southern Scotland.
On his death in 1240, the rule of Gwynedd passed to his son Dafydd ap Llywelyn, but Dafydd died without an heir in 1246 and the kingdom was split between the sons of another son of Llywelyn the Great, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr.

 Wales on Britannia: Facts About Wales & the Welsh

 Dinas Emrys Gwynedd, Wales.
Altogether, I sense that the element of the king that consults sorcerers against a victorious innocent (holy man/saint/boy) is as foreign to Dinas Emrys as is Ambrosius Aurelianus, and I opt for the explanation that it was a wandering story that attached itself to the core, already present.
This is that Cunedda migrated to a different area originally; Ambrosius was presented with part of Gwynedd, possibly only Snowdonia or even less (to account for the sparcity of the placenames), and Cunedda received other parts of north Wales.
Maximus was closely connected to Gwynedd, for the Roman unit based at Segontium (Holyhead) accompanied his army to the continent.

Iago ap Idwal was Prince of Gwynedd from 1023 to 1039 when he was murdered by Llywelyn ap Seisyll's son Gruffydd ap Llewelyn who was the only Welsh king to actually rule over the whole of Wales from 1057 until his death in 1063.
