Ceredig, King of Ceredigion (born 420AD)
Son of Cunedda, he arrived in Wales from Clackmannanshire with his father's family when they were invited to help ward off Irish invaders. As a reward for his bravery, his father gave him the southern part of his new kingdom, which was called Ceredigion in his honour.
Ceredigion was renamed Cardiganshire after the English conquest of Wales, but the original name has been restored in recent years and today the county is known as Ceredigion again.
