[a] Descendancy to Rhodri Mawr
[b] Ancestry from Joseph of Arimathaea

Cadwallon ap Cadfan, King of Gwynedd was killed in battle late around 633 or 634 by Oswald, brother of Eanfrith. Cadwallon was known for killing Edwin of Northumbria at the battle of Meigen (Hatfield near Doncaster) in 632. In 633, he killed Edwin's successors, Osric of Deria and Eanfrith of Bernicia. The Venerable Bede declared that it was Cadwallon's intention to exterminate the English race.

Cadwallon married a daughter of Pebba who was a sister of Penda, King of Mercia, Cadwallon's ally. Penda carried on the warring with Northumbria after Cadwallon's death, killing Oswald in the battle of Cogwy (Oswestry) in 641. Penda was later killed by Oswy, brother of Oswald in the battle of Cai (Winwaed) in 654!
