Merfyn ap Rhodri

Merfyn ap Rhodri (died c. 900) was a late 9th century Aberffraw prince of Gwynedd. He is sometimes credited with ruling Powys after the death of his father Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri the Great) in 878. In the accounts where he is credited as a king, he is reported to have lost his realm to an invasion by his brother Cadell, 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 Chronicle of the Princes and the Annals of Wales. The first places it in the year 953; Phillimore's reconstruction of the latter's dating would place it in 956.
