  • Brycheiniog: English Translations of Welsh Articles
    Brycheiniog: English Translations of Welsh Articles Brycheiniog Volume XLIX (2018): The Twelve Companions of Anlach, Brynach Parry, pages 133-41. The number twelve occurs a significant number of times in the early myths, legends and histories concerning the foundation of the ancient Kingdom of Brycheiniog. Numbers do, of course, have a magical significance in many of mankind's religions, legends and mythologies, and are frequently used as a rough representation of a total – 2, 40, 100, 300 - rather than as a precise number. The fact that both Welsh and Breton treat the number between 17 and 19 – deunaw and tric'hwec'h – differently from those on either side suggests that 18 had some magical quality in the minds of our common Brythonic ancestors. As is the case with widespread taboos against mentioning the name of certain animals or objects1, both languages avoid using the number that could logically be expected in the series, namely 'tri-ar-bymtheg' or 'eizhtek', preferring to use instead a multiple of other magical numbers - (2x9, 3x6). Apart from the mathematical power and usefulness of the number twelve2, it is also an extremely potent example of the importance of numbers in terms of religion and mythology all over the world. The two documents that relate the story of the establishment of the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, namely De Situ Brecheniauc3 and Cognatio Brychan4, are considered to be some of the earliest vernacular records in the whole of Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire5. Despite the fact that they are written in Latin and that they are late copies (De Situ - 13th Century and Cognatio - 17th Century) of much earlier documents, as evidenced by the forms of the Welsh place-names in them, they offer us the 'official' foundation history or mythology of early Brycheiniog.

    Exploring the Kingdom of Brycheiniog: An Integrated Archaeological Approach in an Early Medieval Landscape Genevieve Cain Kellogg College University of Oxford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Applied Landscape Archaeology Michaelmas 2018 Candidate number: 1012656 Word count: 16,425 ABSTRACT Research into the formation and growth of early medieval kingdoms in Wales is limited by a considerable paucity of archaeological and documentary evidence. Compounded by a bias of ‘high status’ sites within the Historic Environment Record and the literature, the scholarly tradition has remained focussed on the scant material remains and intermittent historical sources. In contrast, this thesis argues that for a new perspective on the socio-economic environment of these polities, research using a suite of relevant and bespoke landscape archaeology tools, particularly with the aim of understanding the natural environment affordance, be elevated in priority. Guided by archaeological and theoretical frameworks which anchor the research, an innovative, ‘bottom-up’ methodological approach is advocated and applied to one such early medieval kingdom, the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, in mid-Wales (c. AD 500-1066). To ascertain the extent to which Brycheiniog has an expression in the landscape, a suite of early medieval indicators are identified, cross-examined and contextualised against the affordance of the natural environment. These indicators form the basis for establishing characteristics of the Kingdom such as activity hubs, networks and economy. The results of this analysis reveal attributes of a kingdom with inherently Irish characteristics in the early medieval period. Activity hubs, indicated by early ecclesiastical sites, ogam stones, the Llangorse Lake crannog and pre-AD 1200 place-names, are centred along riverways and Roman roads, particularly around Llangorse Lake and the River Llynfi catchment in the upper Usk valley.
