Madog ap Maredudd

Madog ap Maredudd

The Oxford Companion to British History | 2002 | | Copyright

Madog ap Maredudd (d. 1160), prince of Powys 1132–60). The Welsh princes took advantage of the civil war in England during the reign of Stephen to rebuild their position after the reign of Henry I. Madog inherited Powys from his father Maredudd ap Bleddyn in 1132 and had to deal with the expansionary ambitions of Owain, prince of Gwynedd, on his northern border. Around 1150 he joined with Ralph, earl of Chester, in an attack but was defeated. He maintained a watchful neutrality in 1157 when Henry II fought Owain. After his death, Powys was divided into north and south lordships (Powys Fadog and Powys Wenwynwyn).
