Dunoding
Dunoding is the name of an ancient sub-kingdom within the Kingdom of Gwynedd in north Wales which existed between the 5th and 10th Centuries. Named after Prince Dynod a son of the legendary founding father of Gwynedd - Cunedda Wledig - who drove the Irish settlers from the area in c.460 the territory existed as a subordinate realm within Gwynedd until the line of kings descended from Dynod expired in c.925. Following the end of the House of Dynod it was split in to the cantrefi of Eifionydd and Ardudwy and fully incorporated into Gwynedd. After the defeat of the kingdom of Gwynedd in 1283 and its annexation to England the area became part of the traditional county of Caernarvonshire. It is now part of the modern County of Gwynedd with a devolved Wales.
