into English.
CADELL ap GRUFFYDD
(d. 1175)
The son of

He is first heard of in 1138, when, with his brother Anarawd and Owain and Cadwaladr of Gwynedd, he brought a Viking fleet of fifteen ships, no doubt from Dublin, to the mouth of the Teify, in a vain endeavour to capture Cardigan, the last foothold left to the Normans in Ceredigion. During the next few years he was overshadowed by his elder brother, but
