Cadwgan ap Bleddyn (1051–1111) was a prince of the Kingdom of Powys in north eastern Wales.[1]

Cadwgan (possibly born 1060) was the second son of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn who was king of both Kingdom of Powys and Gwynedd.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle stated : "the Welsh ... chose many leaders from among themselves, one of them was called Cadwgan, who was the finest of the all".[2][1]

The Welsh ruling kingdoms had descended in a civil strife during the Norman invasion of Wales.[2] Bleddyn, Cadwgan's father was killed in 1075 in the 'battle of Gwdig' (Goodwick) by the neighboring kingdom of Deheubarth and Prince Rhys ab Owain with the nobles of Ystrad Tywi; his family avenged the death when his cousin Trahaearn ap Caradog retaliated in the battle of Goodwick. After which, the Kingdom of Powys was divided between three of Bleddyn's sons, Cadwgan, Iorwerth and Maredudd.[3]

    Bartrum does not specify his mother, but states that Llywarch and Cadwgon had the same mother. For Bartrum, it seems it was not clear that Haer f. Cillin was the mother of Cadwgon and Llywarch.

    His note for Llywarch: "For the grouping under mothers see LD.H.10, RV 295. The groups may be correct, but the mothers are wrongly given by RV. Llywarch and Cadwgon had the same mother. Pen 126 pp. 8, 15, LD. H. 10 and perhaps G 106. Cf. C 85."
