Petty Kingdom of Gwynedd

One of the stronger cantrefs of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, Rhufoniog lies between the Cantrefi of Rhos and the king's domain in Edeyrnion. The fortified town of Tomen y Mur serves as the cantrefs capital and it is there that Chief Dafydd ap Dogfael rules from.

Like most of Wales in the 5th Century, the Cantrefi of Rhos utilizes Agnatic Elective Gavelkind as its succession law: The titles of the ruler are divided among his children and the primary heir, who is elected from among the members of the ruling dynasty. The law defaults to Primogeniture. You get no Prestige penalty for having unlanded sons and can have a 30% larger demesne. Destruction of titles unader any form of Gavelkind succession is not allowed. On succession in kingdoms and empires, new kingdoms might be created for younger sons if possible. Junior heirs always get the choice to declare independence without a war. Only males can inherit.
