Bardylis - Usurper and founder of this dynasty.
Bardylis was a Dardanian* coalman who acquired a huge popularity by dividing the spoils gained.
However, being that Pyrrhus was the adopted son of Glaukias, it is very possible that Bardylis II and Pyrrhus shared Glaukias' kingdom** and the marriage of Birkenna, the daughter of Bardylis II, to Pyrrhus only lends support to that theory and the establishment of Pyrrhus' power in southern Illyria.

 History of the Macedonian People from Ancient times to the Present - Part V, by Risto Stefov
Bardylis (the Illyrian chief) had not yet mustered the huge forces he had intended to lead into lower Macedonia.
In order to protect the flank and rear of his spearmen-phalanx from attacks by the enemy cavalry, he made his infantry form a hollow rectangle, of which the front facing the enemy was held by his best men and the other sides by less skilled troops, all facing outwards.
The peace with Bardylis was cemented by the marriage of Philip to an Illyrian princess, Audata".

2) it appears that Amyntas, after his restoration to his kingdom, was obliged to purchase peace of Bardylis by tribute, and to deliver up as a hostage his youngest son, Philip, who, according to this account (which seems far from the truth), was committed by the Illyrians to the custody of the Thebans.
2.) When Philip, in the ensuing year, was preparing to invade Illyria, Bardylis, who was now 90 years old, having proposed terms of peace which Philip re­ jected, led forth his troops to meet the enemy, and was defeated and probably slain in the battle which ensued.

 Illyria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
The importance of raiding and plunder is shown by the career of Bardylis, who rose from a humble charcoal-burner to being a powerful warleader and then king, because of his fairness in distributing loot as much as his successes in battle.
Most of their warriors were infantry with spear or javelins, supported by smaller numbers of skirmishers with sling or javelin and light cavalry presumably provided by the tribal nobles.
Higher proportions of horse appear in small detached forces, such as the 200 cavalry and 1,000 foot serving Perseus of Macedon in 169, or the 2,000 foot and 2,000 horse with Rome the next year, but these were not typical.

Greeks set up trading posts along the eastern Adriatic coast after 600 B.C. and founded colonies there in the fourth century B.C. Greek influence proved ephemeral, however, and the native tribes remained herdsmen and warriors.
Bardylis, a tribal chief of Illyria (present-day northwest Yugoslavia), assumed control of much of Macedonia in 360 B.C.: Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great, later united Macedonia and campaigned as far north as present-day Serbia.
In the fourth century B.C., invading Celts forced the Illyrians southward from the northern Adriatic coast, and over several centuries a mixed Celtic-Illyrian culture arose in much of modern Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, producing wheelturned pottery, jewelry, and iron tools.

Pyrrhus marries three women: Lanassa, daughter of Agathocles of Syracuse, who brought Corcyra as a dowry, mother of Alexander; Birkenna, daughter of Bardylis, king of Illyria, mother of Helenos; and the daughter of Audoleon, king of Paionia.
In military terms, the Aiacids control both the Syracusan and the Tarentine fleet on the water, with the possibility of Illyrian mercenaries serving under Helenus, the grandson of their king Bardylis; also the Ptolemaic fleet is allied to them and Massalia herself might provide some troops.
The militias of South Italy and Sicily are under Aiacid control, while the mercenaries in Italy (including former Roman allies) could be swayed by promise of Carthaginian booty.
