Cardigan, Ceredigion Cardigan, Ceredigion Cardigan (, ) is a town and community in the county of Ceredigion in Wales. The town lies on a tidal reach of the River Teifi at the point where Ceredigion, formerly Cardiganshire, meets Pembrokeshire. Cardigan was the county town of the historic county and it is the second-largest town in Ceredigion. The largest town, Aberystwyth, is one of the two administrative centres; the other being Aberaeron. The settlement at Cardigan was developed around the Norman castle built in the late 11th or early 12th century. The castle was the location of the first National Eisteddfod in 1176.
Huwal of the West Welsh Huwal of the West Welsh Huwal was a Brittonic monarch of the early to mid-10th century whose name appears in the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as the ruler of the "West Welsh". His identity is a matter of debate: "West Welsh" in medieval English sources usually refers to the Cornish or Dumnonians, suggesting Huwal may have been an otherwise unknown king of that region, but many scholars identify him instead with Hywel Dda of Deheubarth, in western Wales. Huwal is recorded just once in the entry for 926 in manuscript D of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as "Huwal king of the West Welsh"
