Kings of Dumnonia?
Now I dont really know if I have to look more into this but as far as I searched I couldnt find the origins or at least evidence for the lives of the kings (such as *Mordaf ap* *Hopkin* or *Eluid ap Fferferdynof* ) of"West Wales" in the period 790s-890s.
Vague names appear and it seems that the "kingdom" was conquered by the West Saxons in the early 9th Century. Donyarth, the only king I found in wikipedia (a questionable source for some) that has at least some background appears to have died in the 875. Thus my question arises, who were the kings from the battle of "Gafulforda" when the kingdom largely fell to the death of Donyarth and where can I find more information on them? Thank you.
