'''Dunoding''' was an early sub-kingdom within the [[Kingdom of Gwynedd]] in north-west [[Wales]] which existed between the 5th and 10th centuries.  According to tradition, it was named after Dunod,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dumville |first=David N. |date=1977 |title=Sub-Roman Britain: History and Legend |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24411236 |journal=History |volume=62 |issue=205 |pages=181 |issn=0018-2648}}</ref> a son of the founding father of Gwynedd – [[Cunedda Wledig]] – who drove the [[Irish people|Irish]] settlers from the area in c. 460. The territory existed as a subordinate realm within Gwynedd until the line of rulers descended from Dunod expired in c. 925. Following the end of the House of Dunod, it was split into the [[cantref]]i of [[Eifionydd]] and [[Ardudwy]] and fully incorporated into Gwynedd. After the defeat of the kingdom of Gwynedd in 1283 and its annexation to [[Kingdom of England|England]], the two cantrefi became parts of the counties of [[Caernarfonshire]] and [[Merionethshire]], respectively. It is now part of the modern county of [[Gwynedd]].
