Llywelyn ap Maredudd was a minor Welsh prince of the House of Gwynedd who was the last vassal Lord of Meirionydd.
He was the son of Maredudd ap Llywelyn ap Maredudd ap Cynan and was a direct descendant of Owain Gwynedd through his son Prince Cynan, Lord of Meirionydd.

Madog ap Llywelyn or Prince Madoc was from a junior branch of the House of Cunedda and a distant relation of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (King Llywelyn III of Gwynedd) the last recognised native Prince of Wales.
It is thought that he was the son of Llywelyn ap Maredudd, the last vassal Lord of Meirionydd.
In the autumn of 1294 the Welsh broke in a general revolt led by Prince Madog ap Llywelyn in a response to the actions of new royal administrators in north and west Wales.

 Meirion Meirionydd - son or grandson of Cunedda?
Virtually every scholar and historian who speaks of the man for whom the cantref of Meirionydd is named assures us he was the son of Tybion ap Cunedda.
He then points to a centuries-later manuscript[5] which says he divided the possessions with his uncles, and the cantref of Meirionydd came as his own portion.
Obviously Bartrum believed the 15th century genealogists over the 10th century pedigree, but we must wonder if his reading of the "erratic" (his word) passage which confuses us was not biased by what earlier men believed.

Local people will be able to bring their own material for shredding by prior agreement and similarly, if the Council find they have quantities of green waste for the bulky refuse collection that would normally go to the landfill site, they will, by prior agreement, be able to divert that waste to the nearest shredder.

From Dolgellau, a small town in Meirionydd, the heartland of Welsh-speaking Wales, comes Gwerinos, an irreverent and fun folk sextet with a strong sense of place.
Their 1994 debut album, titled simply Di-didl-lan, is in some ways one of the best Welsh folk albums I've heard, in the way it captures musically what it means to be a Cymro (a Welsh speaker) in our age.
In its variety, this CD comes close to doing for the region of Meirionydd what Stan Rogers' classic "Fogarty's Cove" did for the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, a loving musical portrait from many complementary perspectives.

One of the later Kings of Meirionydd, Idris ap Gwyddno, is remembered today by the great mountain of Cadair Idris - "Idris' Chair" - that dominates Meirionydd.
Idris the Giant was said to have been so large that he could sit upon this mountain and survey his kingdom, though his real epithet may have been Arw (the Coarse).
He must have re-entered secular life before his death, however, as Idris was killed fighting King Oswald of Northumbria on the Severn in 632.
