man Agricola of Dyfed, King of Dyfed‏‎ 1)


Notes: Aergol Longhand (Modern Welsh: Aergol Lawhir; c. 437 - c. 515) was a legendary king of Dyfed and son and heir of King Triffyn Farfog. His name is the Welsh form of the Latin Agricola, just as his father's 'name' is the Cambrian form of "tribune".

Some sources claim he was born around 480. His court was at Lis Castell (Lydstep) near Din Bych (Tenby); there may have been another at Castell Argoel (probably Caeth Argoel) in Dyfed, which was presumably named in his honor. He was a patron of the church at Llandaff and the bishops of Glywysing Saints Teilo and Euddogwy. He received Euddogwy's father King Budic II of Brittany after the latter was expelled from his land and was remembered by Gildas as a "good king". Aergol was known to be an enemy of King Cynan Garwyn of Powys and they clashed at Crug Dyfed.

No attempt has been made here at resolving the contradictions apparent in Agricola's ancestry.

man Uortiporius of Dyfed, King of Dyfed‏ 1)


Notes: Vortiporius or Vortipor (Old Welsh: Guortepir, Middle Welsh Gwrdeber or Gwerthefyr)[1] was a king of Dyfed in the early to mid-6th century. He ruled over an area approximately corresponding to the modern Pembrokeshire. Records of this era are scant, and virtually nothing is known of him or his kingdom. The only contemporary information about the person comes from Gildas, in a highly allegorical condemnation from his De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae (English: On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain). At the time the work was written (c. 540), Gildas says that he was king of Dyfed, that he was grey with age, that his wife had died, and that he had at least one daughter.
