Gwrtheyrnion
Gwrtheyrnion or Gwerthrynion was a commote in medieval Wales, located in Mid Wales on the north side of the River Wye. For most of the Middle Ages its rulers operated independently of other powers, but it was sometimes associated with the cantref of Maelienydd and the Kingdom of Powys, and, in the Norman era, with the region known as Rhwng Gwy a Hafren. It is said to have taken its name from the legendary king Vortigern ((ウェールズ語:Gwrtheyrn)), and for a time was part of an independent regional kingdom.
==Name and location==
According to the 9th-century ''Historia Brittonum'', Gwrtheyrnion, here Latinised ''Guorthegirnaim'', was named for Vortigern ((ウェールズ語:Gwrtheyrn)), a legendary 5th-century King of Britain.〔''Historia Brittonum'', ch. 47.〕 John Edward Lloyd considers this derivation accurate.〔Lloyd, pp. 253–254.〕 Generally, its boundaries were the cantrefi of Arwystli to the north, Maelienydd (in its restricted sense) to the east, Elfael to the southeast, and Buellt to the southwest. It also controlled the commote of Cwmwd Deuddwr on the west of the Wye, together they formed a cantref.
Around 800 Gwrtheyrnion formed part of a minor regional kingdom with Buellt, situated across the Wye.〔Lloyd, p. 224 and notes.〕 Later medieval lists of commotes and cantrefs more generally associate it with territories on the north side of the Wye; some, but not all, tie it to the cantref of Maelienydd.〔Owen, p. 203.〕 Others tie it instead to Arwystli, though this is evidently the result of a scribal error.〔 The historical centre of Gwrtheyrnion was Rhayader, from which it is thought the traditional county of Radnorshire was named.
