Cadel "Mawr" ap Rhodri 
Cadel "Mawr" ap was born about 0861 in Caer Seiont, Wales. Cadel "Mawr" ap's father was Rhodri "Mawr" Ap Merfyn and his mother was Angharad Verch Meurig. His paternal grandparents were Merfyn "Frych" Ap Gwriad and Nest Verch Cadell; his maternal grandfather was Meurig Ap Dyfnwallon. He had eight brothers and two sisters, named Anarawd Ap, Merfyn Ap, Aeddan Ap, Tudwal "Gloff" Ap, Meurig Ap, Rhodri "Fychan" Ap, Gwriad Ap, Gwyddelig Ap, Nest Verch and Angharad Verch. He was the fourth oldest of the eleven children. He died in 0909.General Notes
Cadell ap Rhodri Mawr, King of Seisyllwg in South Wales, followed the lead of his brother Anarawd ap Rhodri Mawr, King of Gwynedd, abandoned an alliance with the Danish Kingdom of York and acknowledged Ælfred the Great as overlord. The precise nature of this overlordship is not known, and there was an attempt to portray this submission as a desire for unity among Christian rulers against the pagan Danes. However, this recognition by Welsh rulers that that the King of England had claims upon them would be a central fact in the subsequent history of Wales.
