Merfyn ap Rhodri

Merfyn ap Rhodri (died c. 900) was a late 9th-century

King of Ceredigion. Merfyn's death may be connected to the incursion into Anglesey by the Viking Ingimundr

in the first decade of the 10th century.

The drowning of his son Haearnddur, or "Haardur", was reported by both the

Annals of Wales.^[2] The first places it in the year 953; Phillimore's reconstruction of the latter's dating^[3]
