Commentary
Stewart Baldwin on Cadfan's wife: 'Said in late genealogy (ByA.28b) to be Tadreg Ddu, daughter of Cynan Garwyn of the Powys dynasty. If true, it would make her a sister of Selyf (Selim, apparently an Old Welsh form of the Biblical name Solomon), who was killed in the Battle of Chester (probably fought in 616, but recorded in AU 613: "Bellum Caire Legion ubi sancti occisi sunt & cecidit Solon m. Conaen, rex Britanorum."), and would also make Selim the maternal uncle of Cadwallon (d. 634), which is chronologically possible. However, it is difficult to trust this late genealogy, in a manuscript containing much clearly mythical material, and the information should be regarded as unproven.'
