Historic area of Denbighshire, Wales

A map of Wales withMerionethshire highlighted. Edeirnion Rural District is the protrusion in the north east of Meirionnydd.

Edeirnion orEdeyrnion is an area of the county ofDenbighshire and an ancientcommote ofmedieval Wales in thecantref ofPenllyn. According to tradition, it was named after its eponymous founderEdern or Edeyrn. It was included as a Welsh territory ofShropshire in theDomesday Book.

Edeirnion was nominally a part of theKingdom of Powys but was often subject to border intrusions by the neighbouringKingdom of Gwynedd. It was the patrimony of princeOwain Brogyntyn. These rumbling border disputes caused a great deal of friction between the two realms. Edeirnion was occupied and annexed by Gwynedd in the reign ofLlywelyn the Great but briefly returned to Powys following a treaty forced on Gwynedd by England after Llywelyn's death in 1240. The territory was again occupied by Gwynedd after 1267 before being returned again to Powys. This continuing dispute and the appeal byLlywelyn ap Gruffudd toEdward I of England to see the resolution of this dispute settled byWelsh Law was one of the reasons the principalities in the north of Wales were unable to unite in opposition to English hegemony and was a contributing factor to the final war between thePrincipality of Wales and England, which ultimately saw the end of Welsh independence.

Edeirnion still exists as abro, or region, in Denbighshire, located aroundCorwen and near theBerwyn Range.
