     GAV-35 EDV-35. Sandde ab Alcwn was living circa 730.²

     GAV-36 EDV-36. Alcwn ap Tegid was also known as Algwn ap Tegid.² He was living circa 700.²

     GAV-37 EDV-37. Tegid ap Gwair was living circa 670.²

     GAV-38 EDV-38. Gwair ap Dwg was also known as Gwyar ap Diwg.³ He was living in 630.³

     GAV-39 EDV-39. Diwg ap Llywarch Hen was King of Man, [Ashley, p. 422] DIWG Man, fl 600s. Diwg is listed in the genealogies as the son of LLYWARCH HEN and as the ancestor of GWRIAD, the father of MERFYN FRYCH. Although tradition linked the descendants of Llywarch with the Isle of Man, it is not clear how far Gwriad's ancestors held authority over Man. It is probable that Diwg and his descendents held Man as vassals to the rulers of Gwynedd as a defence against the Irish throughout the seventh and eight centuries.

Nothing more is known of the descendants of Diwg beyond their names and approximate dates. The next historically attested ruler is Gwriad. circa 600.²

     GAV-32 EDV-32.

     Dygnwallon ab Arthen King of Ceredigion died in 807.¹
     He was King of Ceredigion: [Ashley, p. 132] DYFNWALLON Ceredigion, 807-? Dyfnwallon was the son of ARTHGEN. His reign commenced in 807, but it is not certain how long he ruled and he may have survived into the 830s. At this time MERFYN FRYCH of Gwynedd was beginning his territorial expansion and Dyfnwallon must have had problems in retaining his independence. He was succeeded by his son MEURIG.² GAV-33 EDV-33. Dygnwallon ab Arthen King of Ceredigion was also known as Dyfnwallon King of Ceredigion.²

     Arthgen ap Seisyll died in 807; [Ashley, p. 132] ARTHGEN AP SEISYLL Ceredigion and Seisyllwg, ? -807. Arthgen inherited the newly expanded kingdom of Seisyllwg from his father, though it may have been Arthgen who gave it its new name in honour of his father. He was still recorded as king of Ceredigion, however, at the time of his death.¹
     GAV-34 EDV-34. Arthgen ap Seisyll was also known as Arthen ap Seisyll.²

     GAV-35 EDV-35. Seisyll ap Clydog was living circa 770; [Ashley, p. 132] SEISYLL AP CLYDOG Ceredigion and Seisyllwg, fl 770s. Ruler of Ceredigion who, at some stage in the late eighth century invaded Dyfed and took control over those cantrefi which are known collectively as Ystrad Tywi. This expanded kingdom he named Seisyllwg after himself and it formed the basis of the future Deheubarth. The length of Seisyll's reign is uncertain but it is possible he ruled for some time, perhaps as long as forty years, as there is some suggestion that he was around in the 730s. In fact Seisyll's existence is only known by reference back from his son, and his predecessors are known only from the king lists.²

     GAV-36 EDV-36. Clydog ab Arthlwys was also known as Clydog ab Artglys.² He was living circa 730; [Ashley, p. 132] Clydog is known only as the father of SEISYLL who united Ceredigion with Ystrad Tywi.²

     GAV-37 EDV-37. Arthlwys ab Arthfoddw was also known as Artglys.² He was living circa 640; [Ashley, pp. 131-132] ARTGLYS Ceredigion, fl 640s. Artglys lived at a time when Gwynedd underwent an internal struggle between its ruling dynasty and the usurper CADFAEL. Consequently Ceredigion could seek some independence, and the archeological evidence indicates that around the early seventh century Ceredigion began to develop its own culture. Artglys probably started what his son CLYDOG continued and which developed particularly in the reign of SEISYLL.²

     GAV-38 EDV-38. Arthfoddw ap Boddw was also known as Artbodgu ap Bodgu.² He was living circa 600; [Ashley, p. 131] ARTBODGU AP BODGU Ceredigion, fl 600s. Fifth in line of descent from CEREDIG. At this time Ceredigion was almost certainly ruled from Gwynedd; but, during Artbodgu's reign, Ceredigion seems to emerge as having some identity of its own, distinct from Gwynedd to the north and Dyfed to the south, and it might be that he was the first to start seriously carving out a kingdom of his own. His son was ARTGLYs.²

     GAV-39 EDV-39. Boddw ap Serwyl was also known as Bodgu.² He was living circa 560; [Ashley, p. 131] BODGU Ceredigion, fl 560s. Nothing is known about Bodgu's life. He was the son of SERGUIL and the father of ARTBODGU. He ruled (assuming he had any authority at all) at the time of RHUN, the mighty lord of Gwynedd, and it is more probable that Bodgu served as a frontier vassal king.²

     GAV-40 EDV-40. Serwyl ab Usai was also known as Serguil.² He was living circa 530; [Ashley, p. 131] SERGUIL Ceredigion, fl 530s. Serguil was the son of IUSAY and grandson of CEREDIG. At this time Ceredigion was a frontier zone between Gwynedd, then ruled by MAELGWYN, and Dyfed, ruled by VORTEPOR, and there was not room for much in between.²

     GAV-41 EDV-41. Usai ap Ceredig was also known as Iusay ap Ceredig.² He was living circa 500; [Ashley, p. 131] IUSAY Ceredigion, fl 500s. Iusay is recorded as the son of CEREDIG, but whether he actually ruled in Ceredigion or merely serves as a genealogical link is uncertain. His reign coincided with that of AIRCOL LA WHIR of Demetia who almost certainly ruled the southern half of Ceredigion. Iusay, if he had any role at all, might have been as a defender of Gwynedd against the Irish of Demetia.²

     GAV-42 EDV-42 GKJ-43. Ceredig ap Cunedda Wledig was also known as Ceredig.² He was living circa 470; [Ashley, p. 131] CEREDIG Ceredigion, fl 470s. Ceredig is the eponymous founder of Ceredigion, and supposed son of CUNEDDA. His existence, though, is subject to doubt, and his name may have been assumed by working back from the name of the territory. If he existed, he must have been a younger son of Cunedda, as EINION inherited the heartland of Venedotia (Gwynedd), while Ceredig inherited the coastal territory of west Wales. He probably ruled it as a sub-kingdom of Gwynedd, assuming it existed as a kingdom at all at that time. There is some archaeological evidence to suggest that the southern part of Ceredigion was culturally part of Dyfed and thus had closer Irish connections. Ceredig is recorded as marrying Eleri, the daughter of BRYCHAN, which, if true, would place him closer to the early sixth century. Two of Ceredig's daughters married the native rulers of Gwent and Glywysing (see TEITHFALLT and GLYWYS) suggesting that Ceredig was keen to develop alliances in south Wales. It is just possible that this Ceredig bears some relation to CERETIC, the ruler of Alclud, for although the latter is clearly identified with Dumbarton, both would have had opportunities to undertake slave trading in Ireland.²

     Cunedda Wledig ab Edern married Gwawl (?), daughter of Coel Hen "Old King Cole" (?) King of Northern Britain and Ystradwal (?).²

     GAV-43 EDV-43 GKJ-44. Cunedda Wledig ab Edern was also known as Cunedda King of Northern Britain.² He was living between 420 and 460.² He was King of North Wales: [Ashely, pp. 141-142] CUNEDDA Lothian (Gododdin), 430s; North Wales, 450s-c460s. Cunedda is one of the founding fathers of the Welsh royal dynasties, which means he has attracted as much tradition as history. There can be little doubt that he really existed, but how much of his life we can consider genuine is difficult to say, although there is nothing to dispute the generally accepted story. The name Cunedda is better known today as Kenneth, and it derives from the Celtic Counodagos, meaning "good lord", and is related to the later name Cinead, meaning "born of fire". Both of these derivations may be significant in Cunedda's case, as his genealogy (if it is correct) makes him the grandson of Padarn Beisrudd, which translates as Paternus of the Scarlet Cloak. Paternus was almost certainly a Roman official of high rank who, sometime around the year 388 was placed in command of the troops in the area of the Votadini or the Gododdin, in what later became Bernicia and Lothian. It is not quite certain whether Paternus had authority over the whole of this territory, or whether his domain was either south or north of the Wall. This command probably continued through Paternus's son, Eternus, to Cunedda who, around the year 430, effectively became the leader of the tribes of the Votadini, although he may not have been native to them. At this time Cunedda would have been heavily involved in the wars against the Picts who were threatening the lands south of Hadrian's Wall. During this period Cunedda married Gwawl, the daughter of COEL HEN.
Around the year 450 the problems throughout Britain became acute. Famine ravaged the land and Britain was beset by further invasions from the Saxons to the east and the Irish to the west. At this time, perhaps under instruction from the high king of the British (see VORTIGERN), Cunedda and his family moved south, leaving his eldest son, Tybion, in control in the north. Cunedda's role was to protect Wales from the invasions of the Irish. He established himself in north Wales, in the territory of the Venedotians, which became the core of the later kingdom of Gwynedd. Cunedda succeeded in holding the Irish incursions at bay, although he was never able to drive them out of Demetia, in south-west Wales. It is not certain where Cunedda established his base, though the old Roman fort at Chester is the most likely.
We know little about Cunedda himself, although his name may suggest a powerful lord with an aristocratic bearing. He certainly needed to be authoritative to command respect from the beleaguered Romano-British forces, though the degree of his success was plainly limited. A battle poem celebrating his successes calls him Cunedda the Lion, which is probably testament to his strength and courage. Although his dates are subject to degrees of uncertainty, he was probably born around the year 400 and may have lived into his 60s. Later tradition ascribed him nine sons, from whom territories of northern and central Wales derived their names, though it was not until the tenth century that the genealogies linked these to Cunedda. It is thus difficult to know for certain how many children Cunedda had and how these were linked to later generations of rulers. CEREDIG and EINION have separate entries. between 450 and 460.³

     GAV-44 EDV-44 GKJ-45. Edern ap Padarn Beisrudd was also known as Edern.²

Paternus was almost certainly a Roman official of high rank who, sometime around the year 388 was placed in command of the troops in the area of the Votadini or the Gododdin, in what later became Bernicia and Lothian. It is not quite certain whether Paternus had authority over the whole of this territory, or whether his domain was either south or north of the Wall.³ GAV-45 EDV-45 GKJ-46. Padarn Beisrudd (?) was also known as Paternus Beisrudd (?)² He was living in 300.¹
