Notes

Catgollaun [Modern Welsh Cadwallon], d. 634, king of Gwynedd. (In my [Stewart

Baldwin's] opinion, the vary late statement of Geoffrey of Monmouth that

he married a sister of King Penda of Mercia can probably be dismissed as

one of Geoffrey's numerous fabrications.)

Also known as Catguollaun. In 632 he killed King Edwin of Wessex at the

battle of Meigen. In 633 he killed Edwin's sucessors Osric of Deira and

Eanfrith of Bernicia. Bede declaed that Cadwallon's intent was to

exterminate the English race. In 634, Cadwallon was killed by Oswald,

Eanfrith's brother. This, for all practical purposes, ended any hope for

the Britains of gaining supremacy over the English on the Island.
