  Brycheiniog
  
  This small kingdom was founded as an offshoot of the Irish Déisi kingdom of Dyfed. It was centred on Garth Madryn in the modern Brecon Beacons with a chief settlement at Talgarth (or Talgar in the twelfth century), and it gained its name from that of its first independent king. Its territory in south-east Wales was neighboured to the north by Powys, to the east by Gwent, to the south by Cernyw (and later Glywyssing), and to the west by Dyfed.
  
  The modern word 'Brecon' is the English version of Brycheiniog. As mentioned, the kingdom was named after King Brychen, which was taken from the word 'briych', meaning 'freckled'. The '-iog' suffix is roughly equivalent to the English '-ed', so the people here were roughly (and amusingly) the 'freckled of the freckled' - in other words, Brychen's followers. Traditionally, Brychen himself was born in Ireland, the son of a minor tribal king named Anlach, and moved with his parents to Wales. This ties in with the settling of the Irish Déisi in south-west Wales who took over command of the British territory of Demetia, although Anlach's pedigree would suggest that he was already in Wales, given that his grandfather had been the son of the leader of the Déisi exodus from Ireland. Instead, Anlach's own 'moving to Wales' should perhaps be seen more in the context of his recent ancestors having moved there and his own grandfather having migrated further east into Garthmadrun (although see an alternative at circa 450, below). When Brychen was made king upon the death of his father, the area of Garthmadrun (or Garth Madrun, both older spellings of the modern Garth Madryn) was renamed Brycheiniog in his honour. This suggests that Anlach himself was not the territory's king. Instead he was probably a sub-king, governing Garthmadrun for the core Déisi to the west.
  
  The kingdom's early capital was on a crannog at Llangorse, built by an Irish master builder to display the king's proud Irish heritage. Crannogs were unknown at this time outside Pictland (modern Scotland) or Ireland, and this is the only one of its kind in all of Wales. Luxury goods from around the world were imported here, and the kingdom's treasure was discovered in the waters around the crannog as recently as the 1970s. Unfortunately, the settlement was destroyed by an Anglo-Saxon raid just two decades after being built, and was abandoned (if only temporarily).

  fl c.410 --Cormac mac Urb / Cornac, son. Migrated into Garthmadrun from Dyfed with his father.
  
  c.420 --Anlach marries Marchel, whom Celtic works describe as the 'heiress of Garthmadrun'. The same works give Anlach's father as Cornac or Coronac, who is generally linked to Cormac mac Urb of the Déisi. Given the calculation that the Déisi had arrived in Dyfed around AD 300, this would give them ample time to become integrated into the regional nobility and for their leading sons to marry the offspring of the surviving Brito-Welsh nobility, hence Anlach's marriage to Marchel.

Garthmadrun is renamed Brycheiniog to show that it is now firmly the land of Brychen and his followers.
  
  Celtic works generally state that Brychen is born in Ireland and that his father brings the family to Wales. While this seems to be more of a generalised remembrance of the Déisi exodus from Ireland six generations previously, at least one large group of Déisi had remained in Ireland. This is the Déisi of southern Munster, and some of those Déisi who had been expelled from Tara joined their southern cousins. It is possible that links survived between them and the Déisi who migrated to Dyfed, and that families could easily pass between both settlements. That would certainly allow Anlach's father or grandfather to return to Ireland and for Anlach, and later Brychen, to be born there and yet still be in Wales at a later date.

   Note: Kingdom of Brycheiniog c.450 - c.490 Brychen Brycheiniog Brychan Brycheiniog (Brecon) Born c.419 (His name implies he was a freckled baby). He was regarded as a saintly King dedicated to the Christian Church Brychan Brycheiniog was the son of King Anlach of Garthmadrun and Marchel, heiress of that kingdom. Brychan was born in Ireland but, soon afterward, moved with his parents to Wales, to Marchel's homeland of Garthmadrun (Talgarth). At the age of four, Brychan was sent to be tutored by a holy-man named Drichan beside the River Ysgir (Epynt), as a young man, war broke out between Anlach and Banadl, the usurping Irish King of Powys and Brychan was taken hostage, where he had a son, Cynog by the King’s daughter, Banhadlwedd. After the war, Brychan returned to Garthmadrun and became King on Anlachs' death. He successfully defended his kingdom many times, once against King Gwynllyw of Gwynllwg, who had abducted his daughter Gwladys, and on another occaison, he earned a great battle victory over Dyfed who had raided Brychan's Kingdom in order to dispel the boast "that no spoil could ever be taken from Brychan's land", and collected the dismembered limbs of the enemy as trophies! His reign was so successful that the kingdom was renamed Brycheiniog in his honour. In old age he is believed to have abdicated the throne of Brycheniog in order to become a hermit on Ynys Brychan (Lundy Island), where he died and was buried at a great age in the mid 5th century The children of Brychan Brychan married three times (Prawst, Banhadlwedd and Gwladys) and is reported to have farthered twenty-four sons and twenty-four daughters. Together they are known as one of the "Holy Families of Britain". Most of his children appear to have travelled from Brycheiniog to evangelise Cornwall and North Devon, where they are now venerated.

    Publication: Name: https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsBritain/CymruDemetia.htm;
    Note: MapDemetia (Kingdom of South Wales) This fourth century British kingdom was based on the Celtic tribal territory of the Demetae and its subsequent Roman civitatus designation (a civitatus being the Roman equivalent of a modern county, one which was based on the borders of each former tribal territory. This could be broken down further into pagi which were based around towns or major settlements). Initially, it was bordered by its North Wales counterpart, early Gwynedd, and to the east both by the early Pagensis territory, and Mid-South Wales in the form of Cernyw. Demetia was apparently created circa 382 by one of the many sons of Magnus Maximus (although perhaps they were sons only in the sense that Maximus had created their positions and set them up in semi-independent power - it's hard to be at all certain). Demetia certainly bore the Romanised form of its name throughout the fourth and fifth centuries, although it was also known to later chroniclers as the 'Kingdom of South Wales'. Its early centre was at Castell Dwyran (in Carmarthenshire, roughly halfway between Carmarthen and Haverfordwest), but the Demetian tribal centre at Maridunum (Moridunum) probably remained in use as the region's main trading point (this became the Roman basis for modern Carmarthen). Demetia's first 'king', Antonius, was charged with protecting the southern half of Wales in much the same way as Cunedda was set up in Gwynedd as the 'king' of North Wales. Some of the territory he controlled was passed to younger sons, but which territory is not clear. The core of his holdings, however, was Demetia. Irish raiders were causing the British widespread problems throughout the fourth and fifth centuries. To combat this a wandering sept of the Déisi tribe were probably settled in Demetia by Magnus Maximus to act as protectors of the coastline. Existing evidence confirms this by suggesting that the Roman authorities asked for the help of Aed Brosc in keeping Irish pirates away from the western coast of Britain. When the last British king died without a male heir, the Déisi were on hand to fill the breach. By this time they had become Romanised themselves, and soon became indivisible from their Western British (Welsh) subjects.
