  Rhun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Welsh mythology, Prince Rhun was a son of Maelgwn.
Maelgwn's son Rhun went to Elphin's house to seduce his wife and prove Elphin's claims weren't true.
When King Maelgwn attempted to show the finger to Elphin, he pointed out that his wife cut her fingernails more often than the owner of the finger, had servants to kneed dough and never had any under her nails, and her ring was loose on her finger, and that one was tight.

 Rhun Hir ap Maelgwn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elidyr had married Rhun's sister, and as a result believed himself to be the proper heir to the throne of Gwynedd.
Raising an army from all over northern Wales, Rhun retaliated, marching unopposed through Rheged and across the Pennines to York, effectively seizing control of all of north Wales and northern England and, through alliance with Brude, even stretching south in the lands held by the Picts.
Though his authority was recognized by all, Rhun lacked the resources to maintain administrative control over such a large area, and eventually made peace with Peredur of York and returned to Gwynedd, probably towards the mid-560s.

Instead Rhun amassed a huge army, perhaps the largest since the legendary King Arthur, and marched from Wales through what is now Lancashire to York, probably in the 560's.
Perhaps believing that he had made his point, but that his power base in Wales was not strong enough to take full control of the territory, he made peace with the King of York (Peredur), married his cousin Perwyr, and returned to Gwynedd.
While this campaign lasted a year and passed into Welsh legend, nothing is heard of Rhun for the next twenty years of his rule -- suggesting prosperity, a strong kingdom, and relative peace with it's neighbors.
