Probably celebrated for his strength, courage, and ability to rally the beleaguered Romano-British forces of the region, he eventually secured a politically advantageous marriage to Gwawl, daughter of Coel Hen, the Romano-British ruler of Eboracum (modern York), and is claimed to have had nine sons.
Probabelmente celebrado pola súa forza, coraxe e habilidade para reunir as cercadas forzas romano-britoas da rexión, é probábel que conseguise un matrimonio politicamente vantaxoso con Gwawl, filla de Coel Hen, o gobernante romano-britón de Eboracum (a moderna York), e dise que tivo nove fillos.
