Creuddyn, Ceredigion

Creuddyn was a medieval commote (cwmwd) and, later, a lordship in Ceredigion, Wales.

It was located between the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol,[1] and was one of the three commotes of Cantref Penweddig.

[3][4] The natural centre of the commote was Llanfihangel y Creuddyn where five roads meet at the village.

Several princes of Deheubarth ruled in medieval Kingdom of Ceredigion, including Creuddyn.

Either Maelgwn or his grandsons Llywelyn or Rhys may have been responsible for building the large 13th-century church which still stands today.
