The Kingdom of Ceredigion was one of several Welsh kingdoms that emerged in post-Roman Britain in the mid-5th century. Cardigan Bay to the west and the surrounding hilly geography made it difficult for foreign invaders to conquer. Its area corresponded roughly to that of the county of Ceredigion.[1] Ceredigion transparently means "the people of Ceredig."[2] The kingdom as an independent entity ceased to exist around the year 872.
