	Ancient British genealogies: The ROYAL HOUSE of GALLOWAY -- the lineage of Magnus Maximus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Given that his descendants ruled Galloway, his wife appears to have been a member of the Novantae, and may actually have been of mixed Novantae/Niduari blood (as the Novantae shared their tribal lands with the Niduari Picts, a marriage between the tribal ruling lineages would ease relations at such close quarters considerably).
		All the references to Magnus Maximus, his sons, and his daughters are a result of the destruction of the genealogical records of that lineage in 535 CE during the massacre of the majority of the bloodline, leaving a documentary vacuum.
		The truth of what happened in Galloway and at Camlann was erased and replaced by a vicious story about Arthur's wife, Gwenabwy (aka Gwenhwyvhar) and his foster son Modred, both of whom were of Scots/Pictish descent.
