These kingdoms flourished during the 5th, 6th and 7th centuries in the area south of Pictavia. The people of these nations, and most often their kings, are referred to as the Gwyr y Gogledd or 'Men of the North'. A series of Old Welsh pedigrees under this title appear to show the descent of many of these monarchs. Almost all of them begin with a common ancestor, Coel Hen, and John Morris has suggested that this man was the last Roman Dux Britanniarum with military control over all of Northern Britain at the time of the Roman withdrawal. After his death, his large and powerful 'realm' would thus have been divided, as was the custom, between his sons or, more probably, subordinate commanders, to be ruled by them and their successors.
