1. Title: Wikipedia - Amlawdd Wledig -father, grandfather of Gwydr
   Author: Amlawdd Wledig is named in many sources to have been the maternal grandfather of King Arthur,[16] while others suggest he is a genealogical construct, created in order to justify the kinship connections referred to in the Welsh prose tale of Culhwch and Olwen between Arthur, Culhwch, St Illtud and Goreu fab Custennin.[17] Amlawdd does not appear in the list of Kings of Britain given by Geoffrey of Monmouth.

   Note: A number of figures from the Arthurian legends are suggested (with varying levels of plausibility) to have been the children of Amlawdd, including: Eigyr, Igraine, Ygerne the mother of King Arthur.[8] Rieingulid, the mother of St Illtud.[9] Goleuddydd, the mother of Culhwch.[10] Tywanwedd, Tywynwedd or Dwywanedd, the wife of Hawystl Gloff and the mother of Caradawc Vreichvras, Gwyn ab Nudd, Gwallawc ab Lleenawg, and Tyfrydog or Tyvrydog. (Source: Bonedd y Saint)[11] Tyfrydog was a saint who flourished in the sixth century.[12] Two unnamed daughters, sisters to Enfeidas (f), by Amlawdd's fifth wife Denyw (see Wives, above). Enfeidas is said, in Heinrich von dem Türlin's Diu Crône to be Arthur's aunt, a goddess, and the queen of Avalon. Gwyar, argued by some to be the mother of Gwalchmai or Gawain;[13] however, others argue that Gwyar is a male name and that Gwyar is therefore the name of Gwalchmai's father. Gwyar is also said to be the wife of Geraint and the mother of Cadwy (Cador)[14] King Gwrfoddw or Gwrfoddw Hen of Ergyng, who is listed as one of two brothers of Arthur's unnamed mother in Culhwch and Olwen.[15] Twins Gweir Paladr Hir ('Long Staff') and Gweir Gwrhyd Ennwir ('False Valour'), listed as 'uncles of Arthur, his mother's brothers' in the Arthurian court lists of the Mabinogion.

   Publication: Name: https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsBritain/BritainGlastenning.htm;
   Note: The name Glastenning would seem to be formed of 'Glast' or 'Glas' with two suffixes added in '-enn' (a form of the more standard Welsh/Brythonic '-ion' or '-on'), and the Saxon '-ing'. By the time William of Malmesbury was writing, Glastenning had long since fallen to the Saxons, so the name had become corrupted. 'Glas' in Welsh means blue, grey, or grey-green, perhaps due to the presence locally of lead or silver mines. Even today, silver coinage in Welsh is 'arian gleision' ('gleision' being the plural of 'glas'). The theory that Glastenning is named after Cyndrwyn Glas is explored further in the entry for circa 550, below. Another possible origin of 'glas' is the Welsh word for glass, 'gwydr', or 'gwydraid' in plural form. The word 'gwydraid' tends to be pronounced in conversation as 'gwydred'. 'Gwydr' is both glass as a material, and a glass drinking receptacle, which in Welsh is 'gwydryn'. Interestingly, the Latin for glass is 'vitrum', with the 'v' pronounced as a 'w'. When mispronounced or corrupted mildly over the course of some generations, this easily gives Witrin, so the Isle of Glass, Ynys Witrin, was the Latin version of the Celtic name. Ynys Witrin, Glastenning, and Glastonbury are all various forms of the same name, and all refer to the same place. The West Saxons of the mid-seventh century knew Ynys Witrin, the 'Isle of Glass', as Glestingaburg, the 'fortress [or monastic enclosure] of the people of Glas', suggesting that the Britons had a defendable fort there. There does indeed seem to have been a fifth century fort on Glastonbury Tor, which would account for the name Caer Witrin, a variation on Ynys Witrin, with 'caer' meaning 'fort'. The site was also known as Ynys yr Afalon, the Isle of Avalon
