Establishment


  • January 616: The Kingdom of Ergyng was a Welsh kingdom of the sub-Roman and early medieval period. The area was originally part of the Kingdom of Glywysing and Gwent, but seems to have become independent for a period under King Peibio Clafrog in the 5th or 6th century and again under Gwrfoddw Hen in the early 7th century, c. 615.
