• Notes

  Cadwallon was forced to flee to Ireland from north Wales by Edwin of Northumbria. Cadwallon returned in 633, and with the aid of the Mercians, was able to overrun Northumbria and kill Edwin. Later bards remembered him as "the abominable leader of the Britons" for his failure to fend off the Saxons.
