Rhuddfedel Frych ('Rhuddfedel the Freckled') may have been a late 5th-century Welsh ruler. At least one historian has suggested that he may have been the first member of the royal house of Powys to be styled as "Prince".[1]
Peter Bartrum notes that Rhuddfedel appears only in a "very artificial pedigree of Cadell Ddyrnllug" in the Hanesyn Hen and that "Nothing is known about Rhuddfedel Frych. He may perhaps be a son of Cateyrn."[2]
Rhuddfedel was said to have been succeeded by his son Cyngen Glodrydd.[1]
