	Cunedda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One traditional interpretation identifies Padarn as a Roman (or Romano-British) official of reasonably high rank who had been placed in command of Votadini troops stationed in the Clackmannanshire region of Scotland in the 380s or earlier by the Emperor Magnus Maximus.
		Given that the archaeological record demonstrates Irish settlement on the Lleyn peninsula however and possible raids as far west as Wroxeter by the late 4th century, it is difficult to conceive of either Roman or allied British forces having presented an effective defence in Wales.
		According to this version of events, Vortigern would have instructed Cunedda and his Votadini subjects to move to Wales in response to the aforementioned Irish incursions no later than the year 442, when Vortigern's former Saxon allies rebelled against his rule.

		After the Roman withdrawal in the early 5th century, the lands of the Votadini became part of the Kingdom of the North, which broke up in the later part of the 5th century.

		This was the region of the Votadini tribe, a tribe from the migrations of Celts from the Caucasus area in Asia, crossing Europe and finally settling the British Isles.
		After the Roman invasion of Britain, including everything south of Hadrian's wall, of which the Votadini tribe was one of the most northern tribes to fall under the Romans, our ancestors were given Latin names as well as their Celtic names.
		As the region was largely uninhabited by the Welsh, Vortigern saw this as a golden opportunity to provide a buffer zone between southern Wales, an unpopulated and largely wilderness area of the north, and populate it with a formidable ally, namely the Votadini.

	Kingdoms of British Celts - Goutodin
		The later name of Lothian has its base in Goutodin (or later, Gododdin), which itself is a late British version of Votadini, the tribe which settled that area (Gododdin =Goutodin =Votidini).
		The border of Goutodin extended less far south than the Votadini lands, probably terminating at Berwick, a scene of later conflict with the Bernician Angles.
		This region, between Hadrian's and the Antonine Walls, was under direct Roman military rule between AD 138-162, and after that was organised as a buffer state, reaping many of the rewards of alliance with Rome, but not under its rule.

		The Votadini were a very large tribe or people that lived in the south east of Scotland.
		It is not clear where the boundary between the Votadini and the other large tribe, the Brigantes, was, although it probably frequently shifted as a result of wars and as smaller tribes and communities changed allegiances.
		The Votadini, like the Brigantes, were a group made up of smaller tribes, unfortunately the names of these smaller tribes and communities remain unknown.

		Between 600 BC and the Roman incursions at the end of the 1st century ad, clearly datable artefacts are harder to identify, but it seems probable that at least some of the visible ramparts belong to this period.
		Furthermore, the absence of Roman marching camps and military installations in the agricultural heartlands of East Lothian suggests that authority continued to be asserted from Traprain itself.
		It would seem, therefore, that the Votadini had allied themselves with Rome and may even have been, at certain times, a buffer state on the edge of the Empire.
