Tegid ap Caed - Lineage of King Arthur / Morgause (anna) thru Tegid ap Swair, Aclwn ap Tegid ??? why changed

Somebody made some stuff up. When you find a Welshman called X ap Y, his father's name is *always* Y. Not A, not Z. "Ap" means "son of". (So does "ab", used before vowels; and so does "map/mab", which was an older formation.)

As for King Arthur, we have five or six of him - all Fictional. This looks like "Welsh Tradition Arthur", with some later additions.

Tegid actually seems to be a descendant of Llywarch Hen ('Llywarch the Old'), 6th century Welsh prince, poet, and horndog. And *his* line traces back to Coel Hen - "Old King Cole" of the nursery rhyme. (Coel probably didn't smoke a pipe, tobacco being unknown in his day, but he would have had a flowing mead bowl and a roster of bards. He was reputed to be very generous with his hospitality.)

I detect the fine touch of Anne Brannen on this line. She usually knows her stuff.

I have found most of the Arthur lines, but not this one, I think, or it would say what text it’s from..

Will be fixing this in the morning, doncha know.

Here is Uther ap,Custennyn, though his name is spelled differently. This is actually from a later text, Geoffrey’s:

Uther Pendragon, King Arthur's Father, Geoffrey of Monmouth Text

And here he is, with the spelling above, in the early Welsh texts.

You can follow this on up to see the genealogy that most of the early texts gave him.

Uthyr Pendragon, Early Welsh Texts

Anne, I think that's an older version which has been revised out of existence - probably by merging with the Geoffrey of Monmouth version. (Or else it's a My Heritage version which isn't on Geni - and shouldn't be.)

Nope. I would know it, were it an older version.
Am working on it. BRB

The French lets you know that it’s a late revision, for one thing. Not to mention the garbled Welsh.

Arthuriana is such fun, isn't it! :-D

Got it. It’s showing up in the Holy Grail lines, so, very much later than any of the medieval texts. And not really Arthurian material. Arthur gets sucked into it.

I still have the Malory to finish up, though it’s mostly done. And I might do Tennyson and some of the other Malory clones. And Bradley.

But I won’t be doing these versions. They are a recent amalgamation of earlier texts.
