Excerpt from book: 54 CADELL. never returned. This is recorded in the Triads, and printed in the Myvyrian Archaiology, ii. 9, 76. CADFJLL, the son of Urien, was a saint who lived sbout the commencement of the seventh century. According to Bonedd y Saint, (Myv. Arch. ii. 28.) he was the son of Urien ab Buan ab Ysgwvn ab Llywarch Hen. There was formerly a church dedicated to him in Glamorgan, near Cowbridge, called Llangadell.

For the rest of the story, the probable parts of which are not corroborated by historv, see Gunn's Nennius, 21, 15 ?. Cadell's descendants continued to be princes of Powis, which included Teyrnllwg, or the Vale Royal, for many generations. He was succeeded by his son Cyngen, the father of Brochwael Ysgythrog. CADELL (DEYRNLLWG, ) a lineal descendant of the preceding, was prince of Powis and Vale Royal, during the close of the eighth century. He was the son or grandson of Elisau ab Cynllaw, whom he succeeded in the principality, A. D. 773. A historical difficulty however occurs in his pedigree, which may be h...
