Topic: Cadwaladr


In the News (Sat 22 Nov 08)

  
  Cadwalader Fendigeidd: a Cymric Hero, also known as Catwaladur (Blessed Battle-leader)
Cadwaladr's father, Cadwallon ap Cadfan died at the battle of Heavenfield fighting against the Northumbrian forces of Oswald of Berenicia in 633/634 when Cadwaladr was but a child when Cadfael Cadomedd seized the throne of Gwynedd.
Then, in 658 Cadwaladr went on to challenge the West Saxons of Somerset and though unsuccesful, this represents the last time a Cymric leader mounted a serious counteroffensive against Saxon forces and this may be why, in his Historia Regium Brittonum Geoffrey of Monmouth chose to end his narrative of native Brythonic kings with Cadwaladr.
Cadwaladr is again mentioned in triad 53 where the blow struck by Golydan Fardd upon Cadwaladr the Blessed is one of the 'Three Harmful Blows' of the Island of Britain.

 Cadwaladr and his Goat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Cadwaladr, who had been getting wilder and wilder as his breath came shorter, now picked up a great stone and threw it at the exasperating animal with all his force.
Cadwaladr was now very sorry, and made his way to the foot of the crag: the goat was dying, and licked his hand.
Cadwaladr looked round and saw that they were surrounded by a countless flock of goats, and the din of a most unearthly bleating arose suddenly.

 Cadwaladr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His supposed standard, the red dragon, was later adopted by Henry VII of England, founder of the Tudor dynasty, who claimed descent from Cadwaladr.
The son of Cadwallon ap Cadfan, Cadwaladr was only a child when his father was killed by the army of Oswald of Bernicia at the Battle of Heavenfield, and Cadafael Cadomedd took over in Gwynedd.
Raised abroad, either in Ireland, Brittany or in a neighboring Welsh kingdom, Cadwaladr eventually reclaimed his family's throne from Cadafael.

 Arthur Identified as Cadwaladr of Meirionydd
Cadwaladr, we are told, could have been known as Dux Bellorum, a Latin title that was used to describe Arthur, since by analysing Cadwaladr's name we arrive at a similar title.
By these methods Hunt demonstrates that with such precedents it is quite feasible for Cadwaladr to be synonymous with the Dux Bellorum (from Cad-, 'battle', and gwaladr, 'lord, prince, leader, chieftain', for a meaning of 'battle-leader').
Hunt says that Cadwaladr has the right name at the right place at the right time and he knows of no other candidate that fits all three conditions.

 GENUKI: Llangadwaladr
This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church to St. Cadwaladr, is situated on the Maldraeth Sands, in Carnarvon bay, and on the turn-pike road leading from Llangevni to Aberfraw.
Catamanus was grandfather of Cadwaladr; and is said to have been buried in Bardsey Island; but the learned author of the "Mona Antigua Restaurata," is of opinion that his remains were finally deposited here by Cadwaladr, who, perhaps, erected the church over his grave, and on that account invested it with the privilege of sanctuary.
About three-quarters of a mile to the south of the church are the ruins of the ancient chapel of Llanveirian, which appears to have been originally a parish church, and afterwards a chapel, having been finally suffered to fall into decay, about the year 1775.

This fits with the comment by Rowley-Morris that a Blayney married an heiress "of the house of Owen Gwynedd" pg68 [2], and with the fact that John Blayney of Gregynog included the arms of Owen Gwynedd in his 1636 panelling [50] & [55].
There is a claim that the descent of the "noble" family of Blayney "Is from the ancient kings of Britain, in a direct line from Cadwallader, a younger son of the Prince of Wales" [326].
He subsequently fought both for and against Owain and spent 5 years in exile in Cheshire with his 2nd wife's family, being supported by Henry II with "honourable maintenance" see [50], [8] and [10] Eventually reconciled with Owen and even buried in a double tomb with him at Bangor Cathedral.

At last his Welsh blood got so hot, as the goat eluded him again and again, that he flung a stone at her, which knocked her over a precipice, and she fell bleating to her doom.
Cadwaladr made his way to the foot of the crag; the goat was dying, but not dead, and licked his hand--which so affected the poor man that he burst into tears, and sitting on the ground took the goat's head on his arm.
This one rushed at Cadwaladr and butting him in the stomach sent him toppling over a crag as he had sent his poor nannygoat.
