Rhyddfedd Frych, sometimes called Rhyddfedd ap Categern, may have been a late 5th-century Welsh ruler.
At least one historian has suggested that he may have been the first member of the royal house of Powys to be styled as "Prince".
[1] The name of his father, Categern, has led some scholars to identify him as the son of Cadeyern Fendigaid, and thus brother of Cadell Ddyrnllwg, King of Powys.
[citation needed] Rhyddfedd was succeeded by his son, Cyngen Glodrydd.
