| 9 | In AD 921, the Anglo-Saxon king, [[Edward the Elder]], founded a [[Burh|burh]] named *Cledematha* (mouth of the Clwydd) at Rhuddlan.[^4] In the following century, before the [[Norman Conquest]] and subsequent [[Normans|Norman]] occupation of lower [[Gwynedd]], the [[Perfeddwlad]], Rhuddlan was the site of a Welsh [[Cantref|cantref]] and served as the seat of government and capital of Gwynedd for the Welsh king [[Gruffydd ap Llywelyn]] (ruled 1055–1063). Following the Conquest, in 1086, Rhuddlan was recorded in the [[Domesday Book]] as a small settlement within the hundred of Ati's Cross and in the county of Cheshire.[^5] | |
