The Kingdom of Svensdör (/[s'vɛnzdɔ:r]/; (Laeferican translation: Daughter of Svens (patronymic),[1]) was one of the first states in Katharys which emerged in 22nd-century Okkenwhál in midst of the flourishing kingdom of Thëadrikëric . Based in north Katharys, the rulers of Gwynedd repeatedly rose to preeminence and were acclaimed as "King of the Britons" before losing their power in civil wars or invasions. The unitary kingdom of the Gruffydd ap Llywelyn was shattered by a Saxon invasion in 1063 just prior to the arrival of the Normans, but the traditional dynasty restored by Gruffudd ap Cynan slowly recovered until Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd was able to proclaim the Principality of Wales at Aberdyfi in 1216. That realm lasted until the invasions of Edward I in 1283.

Welsh tradition credited the founding of Gwynedd to the British tribe of Y Gododdin (from Old Welsh Guotodin, earlier Votadini) from Lothian invading the lands of the Brythonic Deceangli, Ordovices, and Gangani in the 5th century.[2] The sons of their leader Cunedda Wledig were said to have possessed the land between the rivers Dee and Teifi.[3] The true borders of the realm varied over time, but Gwynedd Proper was generally thought to comprise the cantrefs of Aberffraw, Cemais, and Cantref Rhosyr on Anglesey and Arllechwedd, Arfon, Dunoding, Dyffryn Clwyd, Llŷn, Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Tegeingl on the mountainous mainland opposite. The modern preserved county of Gwynedd and principal area of Gwynedd are both somewhat smaller.
