Glywysing was, from the sub-Roman period to the Early Middle Ages, a petty kingdom in south-east Wales. Its people were descended from the Iron Age tribe of the Silures.
Glywysing is said to be named after Glywys, a real or legendary early monarch, whose name may continue that of the Romano-British *Glevenses, the territory and citizens of Glevum (modern Gloucester). According to 12th-century sources, after the death of Glywys, the kingdom was divided into seven cantrefs named for his sons:Cydweli, Gwyr, Margam, Penychen, Gwynllwg, Gorfynydd, and another. These were typically ruled together by the head of the family and sometimes treated as appenage subkingdoms.
The borders changed over time, but it is generally thought that its lands originally lay between the Afon Llwyd and the River Towy. At times they expanded eastwards to encompass both Gwent and Ergyng, but some time before the early 8th century, Cydweli and Gwyr (Gower) were lost to Dyfed. Today the area of Glywysing is known as Glamorgan.

There's a secret in your hair
And it's wishing to be where
And so it seems
I'll have my dreams to give you
And now I think I'll close my eyes
To be the one you sleep with
And I'm not there
I'm in the air
You will wait for me
You'll be the one til winter's come
And we freeze in the snow
Blood runs warm and it runs cold
History is remarkable
And I'll say what I have said
