DYFED

A region and former kingdom in southwest Wales, called Demetia by the Romans. It contains the cities of Cardigan, Carmarthen, and St. David’s, which have various Arthurian associations.

Dyfed was settled by Irish tribes during the traditional Arthurian period (fifth and sixth centuries). Geoffrey says it was ruled by Stater during the Arthurian period.
