	Kingdom of Gwynedd (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Gwynedd was one of the kingdoms or principalities of medieval Wales.
		Gwynedd covered the territory of the Ordovices, but tradition traced the kingdom's foundation to Cunedda, who migrated with his sons and followers from what is now southern Scotland.
		During the period of the Norman conquest of Wales, between the years 1066 and 1282, Gwynedd was a centre of national resistance, the last stronghold of the native Welsh princes against the kings of England.

	Penda of Mercia - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his semi-legendary History of the Kings of Britain, says that Penda was conducting a siege of Exeter when he was defeated by the exiled king of Gwynedd, Cadwallon ap Cadfan, and forced into an alliance with Cadwallon.
		Whatever the case, Penda and Cadwallon were certainly allied and fought against the Northumbrians, and on October 12, 632 (or 633), they defeated the Northumbrians at Hatfield Chase and killed their king, Edwin, along with his son Osfrith.
		He continually raided Northumbria and once almost succeeded in reducing the royal stronghold of Bamburgh; when he was unable to capture it, Bede reports that he attempted to set the city ablaze, but that it was saved by a sacred wind that blew the fire back in the faces of the Mercians.
