Merfyn Frych

Merfyn Frych (ili Merfyn Frych ap Gwriad) (srpskohrvatski: Merfyn Pjegavi, sin Gwriadov; ? - 844) bio je kralj Gwynedda koji je vladao od 825. do smrti, poznat kao prvi kralj koji nije poticao od muške loze Maelgwn Gwynedda. O njegovoj vladavini se malo zna, a poznat je pri svega kao otac daleko znamenitijeg kralja Rhodrija Velikog. Merfyn je na prijestolje došao nakon krvavog dinastijskog sukoba između braće Cynana (vl. 798 – 816) i Hywela (vl. 816 – 825),[1] u vrijeme kada je kraljevstvo bilo pod pritiskom susjedne Mercije.[2] Annales Cambriae navodi da je umro 844. godine, iste godine kada se zbila bitka kod Ketilla (ili Cetyll), ali nije jasno imaju li ta dva događaja veze.[3][4]
