Madog ap Maredudd (Middle Welsh: Madawg mab Maredud, Madawc mab Maredut ; d i e d 1 1 60) was the last prince of the entire Kingdom of Powys, Wales. H e h e l d f o r a time, the FitzAlan Lordship of Oswestry, family of the Ear ls o f A r u n del, of Arundel Castle. His daughter married Lord Rhys, princ e o f W a l e s.
Madog was the son of King Maredudd ap Bleddyn and grandson of King Bled d y n a p C y nfyn. He followed his father on the throne of Powys in 1132. H e i s r e c o rded as taking part in the Battle of Lincoln in 1141 in suppor t o f t h e E a rl of Chester, along with Owain Gwynedd's brother Cadwaladr a p G r u f f ydd and a large army of Welshmen. In 1149 he is recorded giving t h e c o m m ote of Cyfeiliog to his nephews Owain Cyfeiliog and Meurig.
The same year Madog was able to rebuild Oswestry Castle, a fortress of W i l l i a m Fitzalan. It would seem likely that he had gained both the fortr e s s e s o f Oswestry and Whittington in 1146 of Fitzalan, the great-grandf a h e r o f t he Earl of Arundel of Arundel Castle, John Fitzalan.[1]
