Notes - One theory proposes that Afallach (pronounced "Avalack") is the Welsh king after whom the realm Ynys Afallach is named. Ynys Afallach can be translated as "the realm of Afallach". This is the name of the place where, according to Welsh legend, King Arthur asked to be buried. Ynys can be translated equally as "realm" and "island", and the English mistranslation of Ynys Afallach has become famously enshrined as the "Isle of Avalon". Thus one present historical theory is that Avalon was not an island, but actually the realm of the ancient Welsh King Afallach.
Chronologically, Afallach does not fit as a son of Beli Mawr, so there is some error in the old King lists.
