Person
Cynddylan
Cynddylan was a Welsh prince of the mid-7th century, remembered as ruler of the kingdom of Pengwern in the area of modern Shropshire. The Canu Heledd poems lament his death fighting the English and the burning of his hall. Another poem, Marwnad Cynddylan, suggests he fought alongside Penda of Mercia at Lichfield. He is one of the last British rulers of the lands that became English.
