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).

gollark: There is also the "secondary processor exemption" thing, which caused the Librem people to waste a lot of time on having a spare processor on their SoC load a blob into the SoC memory controller from some not-user-accessible flash rather than just using the main CPU cores. This does not improve security because you still have the blob running with, you know, full control of RAM, yet RYF certification requires solutions like this.
gollark: It would be freer™, in my opinion, to have all the firmware distributed sanely via a package manager, and for the firmware to be controllable by users, than to have it entirely hidden away.
gollark: So you can have proprietary firmware for an Ethernet controller or bee apifier or whatever, but it's only okay if you deliberately stop the user from being able to read/write it.
