Rhun AP MAELGWN

(Abt 492 - 586)

There are no historical records of his reign in this early age. A story preserved in both the Venedotian Code and an elegy by Taliesin says that he waged a war against Rhydderch Hael of Alt Clut and the kings of Gododdin or Manaw Gododdin. The town of Caerhun is said to be named for him, though without strong authority. Rhun also appears in several medieval literary stories, as well as in the Welsh Triads.
