1. Title: Ancient Wales Studies Beli Mawr and Llyr Llediath in Welsh Pedigrees, By Darrell Wolcott
   Author: David Wolcott, Ancient Wales Studies, id145
   Publication: Name: http://www.ancientwalesstudies.org/id145.html;
   Note: A number of the Welsh royal families trace their ancestry to the man called Beli Mawr, whose pedigrees make him descend from the legendary Brutus of Troy.[1] We doubt his birth-name was Beli (BAY-lee), this being one of the major Celtic gods, the God of the Sun. But a real man of some name spawned the ensuing families, so we shall call him Beli Mawr for lack of sources citing his birth name. He should not be confused with the fictional Beli and wife, Don, found in Welsh mythology[2]. The earliest extant pedigree contains what we believe to be a later copyist's gloss which attempts to describe his son Aflech as "who was son of Beli Mawr and Anna, she said to be a cousin of Virgin Mary mother of our Lord Jesus Christ"[3]. Not only was the era of Beli Mawr 100 years too early for such a wife, there appear to be at least two (incorrect) reasons why some early writers thought the ensuing family was related to the Virgin Mary. In some very early texts, his name was abbreviated "B.M." which was wrongly thought to mean "Beata Maria", the blessed Mary. But more likely, his name was simply confused with the Biblical man, Heli, who is cited as the husband of Anna and father of Mary[4]. Geoffrey of Monmouth also referred to Beli Mawr as "Heli". In an earlier paper[5], we reproduced the pedigree which contains the 700 years of links from Beli Mawr back to the legendary Brutus, and we shall not dwell here on its authenticity. Rather we shall present the pedigrees of the major families which claim descent from him. The very early names are spelled several ways in the various sources; the orthography we use is our modern equivalents: 130 BC Beli Mawr l 100 Aflech (Lludd) l 70 Afallach ______________l________ l l 40 Owain 35 Euddolen l l 10 Bryddgwyn 5 Eudos l l 20AD Dubun 25AD Eneid l l 50 Onwedd 60 Eudeyrn l l 80 Anwerydd 90 Eudigant l _______l_________ l l l 110 Amgolydd 120 Rydeyrn 125 Deheuwaint l l l 140 Dwfyn 155 Rhifedel 155 Rydeyrn l l l 170 Doli 185 Gradd 185 Gwrtheyrn l l l 205 Cein 215 Urban 220 Cadeyrn l l l 235 Gwyndog 250 Telpwll 250 Rhuddfedel Frych l l ________l_______ l l l l 265 Iago 280 Deheuwaint l l l l l l 295 Tegid 310 Tecfan l l l l l l 325 Padarn Beisrudd 340 Coel Hen l l l l l 355 Edern(a) _____l l l l l 385 Cunedda 280 Gloyw Gwallt Hir(b) 285 Brydw l l 315 Guidolyn 315 Pasgen l l 350 Gwydol 350 Cadeyrn l l 385 Gwrtheyrn(c) 380 Cadell Ddyrnllwg

[b] It would appear the purpose of this pedigree was to show that Owain ap Hywel, at whose direction the entire manuscript was drafted, was descended from the ancient Royal Family of Gwynedd. Rather than recite Owain's paternal ancestry, the pedigree is primarily that of his great-great-great grandmother Esyllt. A strictly paternal pedigree would continue after Merfyn Frych as "ap Gwriad (755) ap Elidyr (725) ap Sandde (695) ap Alcwn (660) ap Teged (630) ap Gweir (595) ap Dwc (560) ap Llywarch Hen (520) ap Elidyr Lydanwyn (485) ap Meirchion Gul (445) ap Gwrwst Ledlum (415) ap Ceneu (380) ap Coel Hen (340) ap Tecfan (310) ap Deheuwaint (280) ap Telpwll (250) ap Urban (215) ap Gradd (185) ap Rhifedel (155) ap Rydeyrn (120) ap Eudigant (90) ap Eudeyrn (60) ap Eneid (25) ap Eudos (5 BC) ap Euddolen (35 BC) ap Afallach (70 BC) and thus to Beli Mawr.[1] [c] Apparently an attempt was made to connect the Gwynedd Royal Family to Maelgwn Gwynedd by confusing Beli ap Rhun ap Maelgwn with Beli ap Einion ap Owain Ddantgwyn, but the chronology does not support that connection. The family probably should continue after Beli (510) as "ap Einion (475) ap Owain Ddantgwyn (445) ap Einion Urdd (415)"[2] [d] The ancestry earlier than Tegid (295) shows the scribe who copied the extant manuscript from an earlier source did not understand that the list of names "Cein, Guorcein, Doli, Guordoli, Dumn, Gurdumn, Amguoloyt" should be read as "Cein; before Cein, Doli; before Doli, Dumn; before Dumn, Amguoloyt". Thus 3 nonsense names should be deleted from the list. Our insertion of Iago and Gwynnog as generations between Tegid and Cein is based on citations found in Jesus College Ms 20 and Hengwrt Ms 33 (the Achau Brenhinoedd a Thywysogion Cymru section) and are required to make the pedigree chronologically sound.[3] [e] Both the chronology and the name "Afleth" (the spelling is Amalech in other manuscripts[4]) suggest this was Lludd, the brother of Cassivellaunus and father of Tasciovanus mentioned by Roman historians in Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55 BC [f] We did not include the final part of the pedigree which claims the wife of Beli Mawr was Anna, mother of the Virgin Mary. While such a claim may have been a part of tenth century lore and served to show the ancient ancestors were "civilized Christians", the chronology is wrong by at least a century. It is further unlikely a lady of Palestine, born c. 35 BC, would have married anyone on the Isle of Britain. Most likely, however, is that the statement was a copyist' gloss added long after the pedigree was first composed.

   Note: FOUNDATIONS OF 'THE MEN OF THE NORTH' - PART 2 By Darrell Wolcott In the first part of this discussion [1], we followed the families who descend from Owain ap Afallach ap Aflech ap Beli Mawr. In this part, we shall focus on the family which descended from Owain's brother, Euddolen. Born c. 35 BC, we believe Euddolen ap Afallach married into the Brigantes tribe of Celts in Britain, possibly to a daughter of its king. If so, his grandson, Eneid ap Eudos, would have been a cousin of Queen Cartimandua. We suggest either he, or his son Eudeyrn, was named king following her reign and that of her consort. The Brigantes had not only declined to oppose the Roman invasion of 43AD, but had become their staunch ally and enjoyed the benefits of Roman citizenship, with none of the disruption suffered by the tribes who opposed Emperor Claudius. Eudicant, the son of Eudeyrn, was born c. 90 and had two sons: 90 Eudigant ________________l________________ l l 120 Rydeyrn 125 Deheuwaint The younger son, Deheuwaint, married into the Cornovii tribe which bordered the Brigantes lands to the south west. His son, Rydeyrn ap Deheuwaint, became king of that tribe c. 190 when its royal family daughtered-out. Rydeyrn's son, Gwrtheyrn, had a grandson, Rhuddfedel Frych, born c. 250, who had two sons: 250 Rhuddfedel Frych _________________l_________________ l l 285 Brydw 280 Gloyw Gwallt Hir The older son married a princess of the Hwicce tribe and resettled to Gloucester, this area taking its name from Gloyw. This man was the great-grandfather of Gwrtheyrn ap Gwydol ap Guidolyn, a man born c. 385 who is better known to history as Vortigern. [2] Brydw ap Rhuddfedel Frych was the great-grandfather of Cadell ap Cadeyrn ap Pasgen who was styled "Cadell Ddyrnllwg, King of Powys". [3] Meanwhile, back in the land of the Brigantes, Rydeyrn ap Eudicant headed a list of single-son families which terminated with the c. 340 Coel ap Tecfan: 120 Rydeyrn l 155 Rhifedel l 185 Gradd (probably Gratian) l 215 Urban (probably Urbanus) l 250 Telpwll l 280 Deheuwaint l 310 Tecfan (probably Tasciovanus) l 340 Coel During the two centuries in which this family held rule, the Brigantes absorbed a number of smaller neighboring tribes, and Coel ap Tecfan inherited a kingdom which encompassed (1) all of northern Britain which lay south of Hadrian's wall, and (2) much of the midlands once held by the Coritani tribe. When his life extended into his 70's, he became known as Coel Hen or "Old King Cole". Note the Latin names of several men in the line leading down to Coel Hen, suggesting a close association with the Roman military. While there were undoubtedly many marriages which bound the Celt tribes together socially, almost none are cited in extant manuscripts until the late 300's. Near 370, Coel married the daughter of Gaedon ap Cynan ap Eudaf Hen of Cernyw (later called Gwynedd), a lady named Stradwel. [4] Their first daughter, Gwawl, married Edern ap Padern Beisrudd of Manaw Gododdin. [5] During the reign of Emperor Magnus Maximus, the Welsh "Maxen Wledig" (383-388), Coel served as dux Britannia, the senior military general in Britain. He moved his seat of operations to Ebrauc (now called York) and, when the Romans withdrew from Britain about 410, Coel Hen commanded the military operations of the new "overking" office created by the Britons. His obit is not recorded, but he probably died early in the second decade of the 400's. He had 3 known sons: 340 Coel Hen ___________________l____________________ l l l 380 Ceneu 390 Dyfrwr 385 Garbanian Since "dyfrwr" means "waterman", this was probably not a birth name. The nickname was applied to men who observed very austere diets and habits. [6] Nothing more is known of this son, but he would have shunned such worldly pursuits as politics or the military. Ceneu, the eldest son, was granted the bulk of his father's lands. THE COELING The family of Garbanian ap Coel Hen is anciently cited [7] as: 385 Garbanian l 420 Dyfnwal Moelmud __________l____________ l l 455 Cyngar 450 Bran Hen l 490 Morcant Bwlch l 520 Clydog l 550 Morgan [8] Garbanian was likely borne by a different mother than the other sons of Coel Hen [9], and his inheritance was the territory to the north of York called Bryneich (later Bernicia). Dyfnwal Moelmud (bald and mute) composed a system of laws to govern the relationships between the various Cymric societies which remained after Rome's withdrawal from Britain. [10] His grandson, Morcant Bwlch, was ruling Bryneich when Ida of the Angles arose, renamed his stronghold around Bamburgh "Bernicia", proclaimed himself its king in 547, and drove out the resident Celts. [11] Morcant's son, Clydog, had a son named Morgan who was born c. 550. Virtually all historians identify the slayer of Urien Rheged (510-575) as Morgan Bwlch, but he would have been a frail old man by then (if still alive), so we suggest he has been confused with his grandson, also named Morgan. [12] The warband of this family was called the "Coeling".
