Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Cyngen Glodrydd was a semi-legendary early sixth-century King of Powys.
Cyngen was a descendant of Cadell Ddyrnllwg, probably his son.[1] Cyngen married Tudglid ferch Brychan, resulting in a large family: Brochwel Ysgithrog, Cadell, Ieuaf, Maig Myngfras, Mawn and Sanan.[1]
What was once thought his memorial stone was discovered being used as a gatepost in Tywyn in 1761, indicating he was apparently buried with Saint Cadfan in the local churchyard.[2] More recent research has suggested the so-called Cadfan Stone is of much later date, perhaps the eighth or ninth century, and does not commemorate Cyngen or Cadfan at all.[3]
