Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

plague
Ruler of Gwynnedd abt 520-551.
One of the tyrants criticised by Gildas.
Reported to have survived the Battle of Camlan, where Arthur
fell.
Enemy of King Arthur.
The family of Rhodri Mawr Ap Merfyn the Great Prince of Wales
claimed descent from Mailcun [MW Maelgwn Gwynedd], a
contemporary of the author Gildas (5th or 6th century), whose
exact chronology is uncertain. (The obituary of Maelgwn which
appears in Annales Cambriae is a late fabrication, so the
Annales Cambriae cannot be used to deduce a date for Gildas.)
However, there are suspicious features in the early part of the
pedigree (see, for example, Molly Miller, "Date Guessing and
Pedigrees", in Studia Celtica 10/11[1975/6], pp. 96-109), and
the part of the pedigree which can be considered reasonably
certain begins with Iago, whose death is recorded in the Irish
annals. All dates given here should be regarded as
approximate.
