History:Galwyddel
From HandWiki
Galwyddel was a Brythonic kingdom within the Hen Ogledd ("Old North") in Sub-Roman Britain.[1][2] Its area corresponds to modern-day Galloway, Scotland. Galwyddel is believed to have split from the Kingdom of Alt Clut following the death of King Cinuit and his land's division between his sons: Dyfnwal Hen (who became King of Alt Clut); and Tudwal (who became the first King of Galwyddel).[2][3] Galwyddel is believed to have maintained authority over the Isle of Man.[4] Around 550, Galwyddel was invaded and annexed by the Kingdom of Rheged, under King Urien. The Galwyddel King, Senyllt, was forced to flee to Ynys Manau (Isle of Man).[5]
