Abstract

ABSTRACT The Historia Brittonum and accompanying genealogies lay out a lineage for the Gwynedd dynasty which has been considered dubious, mainly because of Cunedda’s unlikely number of sons, and the fact that those sons are eponyms for the provinces of later medieval Gwynedd. These discrepancies have led to the conclusion that at least two dynasties, Roman and native, had been combined to form the extant lineage. Recent work on the dating of Marwnad Cunedda has suggested additional attention to the subject might prove fruitful, especially by examining the figures individually and in discrete groups in conjunction with local folklore, recent historiography and available primary sources.
