The Kingdom of Ceredigion was one of several Welsh kingdoms that emerged in 5th-century post-Roman Britain. Its area corresponded roughly to that of the modern county of Ceredigion. The kingdom's hilly geography made it difficult for foreign invaders to conquer. Ceredigion transparently means "the people of Ceredig". Ceredig ap Cunedda (c. 420 - 453), king of Ceredigion, may have been born c. 420 in the Brythonic kingdom of Manaw Gododdin (modern Lothian in Scotland). He is one of the sons of Cunedda, grandfather of Saint David.
