Edelig Edeligion, King of Edeligion (Born c.AD 470) (Latin: Edelicus; English: Edlick) Not much is known about King
Glywys of Glywysing's younger son, Edelig. He inherited the most eastern
portion of Glywysing which became known as Edeligion after him. He is
mentioned briefly in the Life of St. Cadog, but is best known from
the Life of St. Cybi. This latter saint settled in Edeligion for a
while during the late 5th century, but he was not welcomed by the King,
who tried to have him ejected. Cybi repremanded poor Edelig so, that he
felt obliged to give him enough land to found two churches at
Llangybi-on-Usk and Llanddyfrwyr-yn-Edeligion.
