Research Notes

Fabricated Line of Descent

Boyer shows Tegid in a line of descent going back to Coel Hen ("King Cole"). ^[1] Wolcott's different birth estimates are appended in parentheses. ^[2] Stewart Baldwin, however, states that the genealogy which purports to make Gwriad a direct male-line descendant of Llywarch Hen is almost certainly a late fabrication. ^[3]

1. Coel Hen or Coel Godebog, lived about the year 370 (345)
2. Ceneu ap Coel Hen was born say 400 (380)
3. Gwrwst Ledlum ap Ceneu ap Coel Hen was born say 430 (415)

12. Elidir ap Sandde ab Alcwn ap Tegid, born say 730
13. Gwriad ab Elidir ap Sandde ab Alcwn, born say 770.

Tegid ap Gwyar ap Llywarch Hen is a direct descendant of the last British king of South Rheged. Elidyr's son, Gwriad, becomes king of Gwynedd in 815, still carrying the title, 'Heir to South Rheged'. Physical control of the region, however, has long since fallen to Northumbria, although southern sections may be conquered by Mercia during its ascendancy around this time. ^[4]
