Cadell ap Rhodri (Cadell de South Wales) 
Cadell was born in 0861 in Deheubarth, Wales.1 Cadell's father was Rhodri (Mawr, The Great) ap Merfyn and his mother was Angharad verch Meurig. His paternal grandparents were Merfyn (The Freckled) Frych ap Gwriad and Nest verch Cadell; his maternal grandparents were Meurig ap Dyfnwallon and <Unknown>. He had eight brothers and three sisters, named Anarawd, Merfyn, Aeddan, Tudwal, Meurig, Rhodri, Gwriad, Gwyddelig, Elen, Nest and Angharad. He was the fourth oldest of the twelve children. He died at the age of 48 in 0909.1 General Notes
Cadell, the 2nd son of Rhodri Mawr, succeeded to the Kingdom of South Wales, which was called Deheubarth, their residence being Dynevor or Dmasvawr, the Great Palace. The fatal policy of Roderick in dividing his dominions soon became apparent from the conduct of his sons. For in 892/3 we find Anarawd uniting with the English against his brother Cadell; when they invaded his territory and devastated the country of Cardigan and the vale of Towy. And again we find Cadell, Prince of South Wales, taking forcible possession of Powis on the death of his brother Mervyn in 901. Cadell died in 907, leaving three sons: Howell Dha, i. e., Howell, the Good, Meyric and Clydawc, of whom the latter was killed by his brother Meyric about 917.
