A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

Chaucer, Deschamps, and Le Roman De Brut
CHAUCER, DESCHAMPS, AND LE ROMAN DE BRUT In 1386 Eustache Deschamps sent to Chaucer, by way of their mutual friend Lewis Clifford, a complimentary ballade praising Chaucer as a "grant translateur" and soliciting further copies of his work. 1 The poem has long been recognized as an important historical document, since it provides virtually the only evidence available that Chaucer's poetry was known in France prior to his death. 2 That Deschamps should refer to Chaucer as a translator, and apparently single out his translation of Le Roman de la Rose as the basis for his renown, has occasionally been viewed as a typical instance of Gallic arrogance. However, some allowance clearly has to be made for the probability that, in complete contrast to the modern commentators who take issue with his remarks, Deschamps knew all of Chaucer's Romaunt, by repute if not at first hand, but knew nothing of either Troilus and Criseyde or The Canterbury Tales. Furthermore, had Deschamps been aware of Chaucer's authorship of The Book of the Duchess he might well have considered it too a translation, although of contemporary French fashions in court poetry rather than of a specific text. Whatever questions are raised by the attitudes and judgments Deschamps' ballade articulates, there seems no reason to question it as the expression of a spontaneous and sincere admiration for a fellow poet's achievements. If that much of the import of Deschamps' poem is clear, much remains which is desperately obscure, and which has defied the efforts at elucidation of numerous commentators over the years.3.

A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY GADEON ap CYNAN. See Gadeon ab Eudaf Hen. GADEON ab EUDAF HEN. (330) Gadeon is probably the correct form of the name which appears in the tale of ‘The Dream of Macsen Wledig’ as Adeon ab Eudaf, brother of Cynan ab Eudaf. According to the tale, Adeon and Cynan followed Macsen to the continent and captured Rome for him. After that Macsen gave them permission to conquer lands for themselves, (see s.n. Cynan ab Eudaf), but Adeon returned to his own country (WM 187, 189-191, RM 88, 90-92). According to Jesus College MS.20 the wife of Coel Hen was the daughter of Gadeon ab Eudaf Hen (JC 7 in EWGT p.45), and this is probably correct although later versions make her the daughter of Gadeon (variously spelt) ap Cynan ab Eudaf, and she is given the name Ystradwel (variously spelt) (ByA §27a in EWGT p.90). Also in the various versions of the ancestry of Custennin ap Cynfor and Amlawdd Wledig we find Gadeon (variously spelt) ap Cynan ab Eudaf (JC 11, ByA §30b, 31, ByS §76 in EWGT pp.45, 93, 94, 65). Similarly in MG §5 in EWGT p.39, but Eudaf is misplaced. The various spellings show that the name was unfamiliar: Gadean, Gadvan, Gadiawn, Kadeaun, Cadvan, Kadien, Kadiawn. See EWGT passim. It seems probable that Gadeon ab Cynan is an error for Gadeon ab Eudaf, rather than to suppose two such persons (PCB). GAFRAN ab AEDDAN. He appears in Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd (§11 in EWGT p.73) as Gafran ab Aeddan Fradog ap Dyfnwal Hen.

On the surface, his book is indeed a chronicle detailing the reigns of several important kings and glossing over many more.

Non, Nonna, Nonnita: Confusions of Gender in Brythonic Hagionymy
19 NON, NONNA, NONNITA: CONFUSIONS OF GENDER IN BRYTHONIC HAGIONYMY Nicolas Jacobs Abstract According to tradition the name of the mother of St David is Nonn, in Latin Nonna, but the name appears first in the Vita Sancti David by Rhygyfarch ap Sulien (1056/7-1099) as Nonnita. It is generally supposed that this is to be derived from the shorter form of the name, though this has so far not been explained. It has been suggested from time to time (1) that Nonn should be considered not as the origin of Nonnita but as an abbreviation of it, (2) that Nonn is not a female but a male name and designates not David’s mother but a companion of his, (3) that the name itself derives from a misunderstanding of a place-name. It is proposed to call all three of these suppositions in question, and in particular to demonstrate that Nonn/Nonna is a credible early Welsh personal name, and further to suggest how Nonnita may be derived from it. Though there is no conclusive proof that Nonn was the name of David’s mother, the claim that it could not have been is erroneous. That the mother of David, patron saint of Wales, was called Non(n)1 is still commonly accepted. Hardly less well known is the bizarre story of his conception as a result of rape apparently instigated by divine providence, as related in the late eleventh-century Latin life by Rhygyfarch ap Sulien and in its later Welsh translation.2 In the vernacular tradition, whether in the Welsh life or in place- names, in Cornwall and Brittany as well as Wales,3 her name is indeed Non.

A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY OBINUS, fictitious archbishop of London. He appears fourth in a list attributed to Jocelin of Furness, succeeding Cadar and succeeded by Conan (John Stow, The Chronicles of England, 1580, p.56). OCTAVIUS, Duke of the Gewissei. See Eudaf Hen. ODGAR ab AEDD. (Legendary). Odgar ab Aedd, king of Ireland, appears in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’. He accompanied Arthur to the west of Ireland in the search for Gwrgi Seferi, the purpose of which is never explained (RM 134). Later Arthur dispatched a message to Odgar to seek the cauldron of Diwrnach Wyddel, his overseer. Odgar, king of Ireland, besought Diwrnach to give it, but he would not (RM 135). Odgar was the only person who could pluck from the head of Ysgithyrwyn, Chief Boar, the tusk which Ysbaddaden Pencawr required in order to shave himself for the wedding of Culhwch and Olwen (WM 452, RM 122). However it was actually ‘Cadw’ [Caw] of Prydyn who ‘took’ the tusk (RM 135). Odgar was brother of Gwitard, son of Aedd king of Ireland. On the name see Patrick Sims-Williams in BBCS 29 pp.605-6 (1982). ODIAR the Frank. (Legendary). He is mentioned as Odyar franc in the romance of ‘Geraint and Enid’ as the steward of Arthur's Court (WM 412, RM 265). See further CO(2) p.227. ODWYN ap TEITHWALCH. (1040) He is mentioned in the genealogies as a descendant of Ceredig ap Cunedda, and the father of Morfydd the mother of Gwaithfoed of Ceredigion (PP §45). Here the spelling is Odwin.

A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY CONMOR. According to Pierre Le Baud (d.1515) Comorus was Count of Léon (Histoire de Bretagne, 1638, p.65). He is also called Count of Poher with its centre at Carhaix (Nora K.Chadwick, Early Brittany, pp.221-2). In the Life of St.Hernin we are told that the saint settled as a hermit in Duault, near Carhaix, where he died and was buried. Conmor, Count of Poher, being impressed by a miracle, ordered a chapel to be erected over the saint's grave (LBS II.465 s.n. Ernin, and LBS III.282 s.n.Hoiernin). According to the seventh century Life of St.Samson (§53, where he is un-named) Conmor was an unjust and unprincipled stranger who had caused Ionas, the hereditary ruler [of Domnonée] to be put to death, so that all the country was in distress. Iudual, the son of Ionas, had been delivered into captivity. In the Life of St.Leonore we are told that Conmor seized power and married the widow of the dead king [Ionas] (wrongly called Righuel, see Riwal). Conmor suspected that his wife was plotting his death for the sake of her son's advancement. When she knew of his suspicions she sent Iudual to take sanctuary with St.Leonore. But hearing of Conmor's approach, Leonore sent Iudual off by sea and when Conmor arrived and demanded the surrender of Iudual, Leonore was able to tell him that he had already left and gone to sea to seek refuge with Childebert [king of Paris 511 - 558].
