Maredudd ap Cynan (c. 1150 – 1212) was the grandson of Owain Gwynedd, a king of Gwynedd and ruler of most of Wales in the 12th century. His father Cynan ab Owain Gwynedd held the title "Lord of Meirionnydd". An elegy written in the Welsh language after Maredudd's death compared him to King Arthur for his battle skills. His territories were inherited by his two sons, Llywelyn Fawr ('Llywelyn the Elder'; not to be confused with Llywelyn the Great), and Llywelyn Fychan ('Llywelyn the Younger'), who both continued to support Llywelyn the Great.

  • Maredudd ap Cynan († 1212) war ein Lord des walisischen Fürstentums Gwynedd. Er war ein jüngerer Sohn von Cynan ab Owain, einem der Söhne von Owain Gwynedd. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1173 folgte er ihm als Herrscher von Eifionydd und Ardudwy nach. Er verbündete sich mit seinem jungen Cousin Llywelyn ap Iorwerth und übernahm nach ihren Siegen über ihre Onkel Rhodri und Dafydd ab Owain 1194 von seinem Bruder die Herrschaft über Merioneth. Als sein Bruder 1200 starb, übernahm Maredudd auch die Herrschaft über die Halbinsel Lleyn. Llywelyn bezichtigte ihn jedoch des Verrats und vertrieb ihn 1201 wieder von Lleyn und 1202 aus seinen anderen Gebieten. (de)

Llywelyn bezichtigte ihn jedoch des Verrats und vertrieb ihn 1201 wieder von Lleyn und 1202 aus seinen anderen Gebieten. Zusammen mit seinem Bruder Gruffydd gründete Maredudd 1198 oder 1199 das Zisterzienserkloster Cymer Abbey. Seine Familie erhielt später von Llywelyn ap Iorwerth Merioneth zurück. Sie blieben Herren von Merioneth, bis sie 1256 von Llywelyn ap Gruffydd vertrieben wurden. Madog ap Llywelyn, der Anführer der walisischen Rebellion von 1294 bis 1295, war ein Sohn des letzten Lords von Merioneth. (de)
  • Maredudd ap Cynan (c. 1150 – 1212) was the grandson of Owain Gwynedd, a king of Gwynedd and ruler of most of Wales in the 12th century. His father Cynan ab Owain Gwynedd held the title "Lord of Meirionnydd". Maredudd is known to have fought alongside his brother Gruffudd against his uncle Hywel in 1170 and later fought on the side of his cousin Llywelyn ab Iorwerth between 1194–1197 in a campaign to depose another uncle, Dafydd. It seems likely that Maredudd inherited his father's title in Meirionnydd as a reward for his support from Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, the new ruler of Gwynedd, who would become known to posterity as Llywelyn the Great. Maredudd supported both the Augustinian and Cistercian monastic orders with grants of land and buildings. At some point he seems to have been deprived of his lands for an act of treachery. An elegy written in the Welsh language after Maredudd's death compared him to King Arthur for his battle skills. His territories were inherited by his two sons, Llywelyn Fawr ('Llywelyn the Elder'; not to be confused with Llywelyn the Great), and Llywelyn Fychan ('Llywelyn the Younger'), who both continued to support Llywelyn the Great.
