distinguish him from Cadwaladr； and from another Caedualla or
Caedwalla； a king of the West Saxons； all of whom； as they lived within a
short time of each other； have been frequently confounded together。
Rees's Welsh Saints。 ＇3＇ Gwynedd； North Wales。 ＇4＇ Bede says at Denis's
brook。 ＇5＇ The British chronicles assert that Cadwallader died at Rome；
whilst Nennius would lead us to conclude that he perished in the
pestilence at home。
65。 Then Oswy restored all the wealth； which was with him in the city；
to Penda； who distributed it among the kings of the Britons； that is Atbert
Judeu。 But Catgabail alone； king of Guenedot； rising up in the night；
excaped； together with his army； wherefore he was called Catgabail
Catguommed。 Egfrid； son of Oswy； reigned nine years。 In his time the
holy bishop Cuthbert died in the island of Medcaut。* It was he who made
war against the Picts； and was by them slain。 * The isle of Farne。
Penda； son of Pybba； reigned ten years； he first separated the kingdom
of Mercia from that of the North…men； and slew by treachery Anna； king
of the East Anglians； and St。 Oswald； king of the North Men。 He fought
the battle of Cocboy； in which fell Eawa； son of Pybba； his brother； king of
the Mercians； and Oswald； king of the North…men； and he gained the
victory by diabolical agency。 He was not baptized； and never believed in
God。

Vortigern； are twenty…eight years。

History Of The Britons
And from the reign of Vortigern to the quarrel between Guitolinus and
Ambrosius； are twelve years； which is Guoloppum； that is Catgwaloph。*
Vortigern reigned in Britain when Theodosius and Valentinian were
consuls； and in the fourth year of his reign the Saxons came to Britain； in
the consulship of Felix and Taurus； in the four hundredth year from the
incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ。 * In Carmarthenshire。 Perhaps the
town now called Kidwelly。
From the year in which the Saxons came into Britain； and were
received by Vortigern； to the time of Decius and Valerian； are sixty…nine
years。
