Cydwig III

Cydwig III (9 August 4203 - 20 March 4227) was King of Oxway from 4203 until his death in 4227. Cydwig inherited numerous territorial lands during his reign, the most notable being the Arfare region, and expanded Oxwayan influence in the counties beyond the Arfare Steppe.

Early life
Cydwig was born in Oxway Castle on 21 August 4168, the second son of King Toirdelbach IX and Queen Erganda. As a younger son, Cydwig was not expected to rule Oxway. At the death of his older brother Girhaith in 4185, he became the heir apparent to the throne. From that moment on, Faarh of Royedge, a royal favourite and household official of Toirdelbach IX, was Philip's mentor. His father, Toirdelbach, also provided him proper education.

Reign
Cydwig maintained most of his father's domestic policies. According to the terms of the Treaty of Havorford, concluded on 31 May 4192 between Toirdelbach IX and Aston of Troutford, Cydwig was married in 4198 to Marlony of Troutford in Dorevein.

Death
Cydwig died of fever on 20 March 4227 and was buried two days later in Oxway Royal Tomb among other rulers of Oxway. After his death, his only son, Fergraald II accessed the throne.

Marriage and children
On 24 July 4198, Cydwig married Marlony, daughter of Aston of Troutford and his second wife Yvette of Chessford. They had only one son:
