King of Gwenydd
Cadfan ap Iago was a King of Gwynedd. The son of King Iago, he assumed the crown of Gwynedd probably around 615, shortly after the Battle of Caerllion , during which the forces of Powys were defeated by Æthelfrith of Bernicia.
Cadfan was generally considered to have been a wise and just ruler, noted for his ability to maintain the rule of law and peace during an increasingly hostile period in British history. His memorial stone at Llangadwaladr Church in Anglesey refers to him as "Catamanus rex sapientisimus opinatisimus omnium regum" . He was succeeded by his son Cadwallon.
He is one of the last of the legendary kings of Britain as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth, who calls him Cadvan and makes him king of the North Welsh, later king of all the Britons."[2]
