Rhos
Initially Rhos was likely to have been part of the territory of the kingdom of
Ceredigion. The origin of the name is obscure, but it may
have its basis in the former Roman cantref name. Created as a sub-kingdom of
Gwynedd in the late fifth century, after
a short period of
expansion within Gwynedd, it was later drawn back under Gwynedd's direct control. |
c.480 - 517 |
