Cynyr Ceinfarfog

Cynyr Ceinfarfog (born c. 480) was a ruler of the Kingdom of Dyfed in Wales. He was known as Cunoricus in Latin[1] and in English as Kendrick or as Cynyr the Red.

According to the earliest Welsh versions of the Arthurian legend, he was the foster parent who raised King Arthur,[2] with his son Sir Kay.[3][4] Though this latter attributed to Sir Ector.

Born about 480 AD he may have been born a Roman citizen,[5] and ruled from Caer Goch (Caer Gawch), near Mynyw (St. Davids).[4]

Family

He is reputed to have married twice, first to Princess Sefin, daughter of St. Brychan, King of Brycheiniog, and second to Anna daughter of Vortimer.[6]

He was the father of Saint Non[7][8] (the mother of Saint David of Wales)[9] and Saint Wenna (the mother of Saint Cybi).
