Beli ap Eiludd Powys, fl 630s
Beli features in the ancestry of Elisedd of Powys, but the ancient genealogy provides us with a confusion over dates. If Belii was genuinely the son of Eiludd, and nephew of Selyf, then he must have lived in the decade or two after the Battle of Chester in 613. This would make him a contemporary with Cadwallon of Cwynedd, and there is little doubt that the rulers of Gwynedd and Powys at this time would have united in their campaign against the Northumbrians. Like Cadwallon, Beli was probably driven into exile by Edwin. However, his son Gwylog married the daughter of Nowy of Dyfed, and Nowy is a generation earlier than Beli, which would place him into at least the 590s if not earlier. This would make it impossible for Beli to be the grandfather of Elisedd who lived around 725. These anomalies are far from being resolved.
** from Wikipedia listing for Beli ap Eiludd
Beli ap Eiludd was a 7th century King of Powys.
Some theories assert that he was in fact the son of Manwgan ap Selyf who regained power after Eiludd Powys was killed at the battle of Battle of Maes Cogwy in 642.
The king of Powys in the middle of the 7th was Beli ab Eiludd (around 650?). He was the son of Powys Bowl, and was followed by his son Gwylog ap Beli.

=== The unresolved genealogy of Beli places ===
The unresolved genealogy of Beli places him as living a decade or two after the Battle of Chester in 613. This makes him a contemporary with Cadwallon of Gwynedd, and it is likely that he formed an alliance with Cadwallon to defend against the Northumbrians. Like Cadwallon, Beli was probably driven into exile by Edwin.
