Biography

Origins

The Venicones were a Celtic tribe inhabiting the area now known as Fife in Scotland. "Unfortunately for the Venicones, they occupied the very region that the Romans needed to invade several times in order to quell attacks by Britons (Picts) in the east of the Highlands, including attacks by the 'Pictish navy." Fleeing the Roman advances by sea, some of the Venicones may have resettled in Donetal, Ireland, and Gwynedd, Wales. [1]

A legionary fortress was built at Inchtuthill, Tayside (Pinnata Castra), which remained occupied during the late first century by the Twentieth Legion Valeria.[2]

Birth and Parents

Tacitus ap Cein, "Tegid", son of (Gwr-)Cein ap Doli, flourished about the year 270. ref name="venicones"/>

Wolcott observes that review of the most ancient manuscripts suggests the omission of some generations, and Tegis is actually the son of Iago. [3]

Issue

Tacitus "Tegid" was the father of his son, Paternus Pasrut (of the Red Robe) who flourished about 305. [1]

Williams adds that Tegid ab Iago is named the father of Padarn Beisrudd in the biographical dictionary Enwogion Cymru.[4]

Padarn (Beisrudd) is said to have been a hermit and bishop. "Pais Padarn Beisrudd" or the coat of Padarn with the crimson coat, was onew of the thirteen beautiful specimens of workmanship of the Isle of Britain. (See Jones's Bardic Museum, 48) [4]

Research Notes

Harleian Manuscript

Harleian MS 3859 names Patn pefrut, child of Tacit, child of Cein; material from Jesus College MS 20 and Hengwrt MS 33 indicate that there are two more generations, Iago and Gwyndog, between Tacit/Tegid and Cein.[3]

Pedigree of Pughe

Tegid appears in a pedigree of Pughe, of Mathavarn, in Cyveilog, reaching back to biblical Adam, presented by Lewys Dwnn. The pedigree illustrates the fondness of the Welsh for pedigrees as well as the difficulty of determining at what point the pedigree moves from history to legend. [6]

The pedigree of Pughe also appears in a work by the Powys-land Club.[7]

The complete pedigree is presented and discussed at Space: John Pughe's Descent from Adam

According to Darrell Wolcott [3]he should be Tegid ab Iago rather than ap Cein.

I see he was a King of Northern Britain and another site says of Wales? Do we know which nation he held as King?

As discussed in the biography, the Venicones may have been driven out of northern Britain and taken root in Gwynedd. Thus it is possible that Tegid was in both areas.

Ap Cein-3 and Ap Iago-14 appear to represent the same person because: Another stray Tegid, same reasoning as for Cain-1. This one wasn't even connected to Cein as a father. Should be merged into ap Iago.

Cein-1 and Ap Iago-14 appear to represent the same person because: Note that both profiles have the same son, and the same death date. The bio text in the Cein profile lists a birth date estimate of 270 even though it's been set to 314 in the biography. The only actual disagreement is the parentage, and only Harleian points at Cein (it seems to have dropped two generations and added three incorrect ones) while two other sets of documents indicate Iago.

Cein-1 and Ap Iago-14 do not represent the same person because: Different names, relatives, places and dates.

This is the tail end of the tangled mess I have emailed you about

Cein-1 and Ap Iago-14 appear to represent the same person because: Reasonably clear duplicates. Cein is his father in the Harleian Manuscripts (which also introduced a slew of nonexistant generations due to misreading an older text) while Iago is indicated as his father in Jesus College MS 20 and Hengwrt MS 33. Should be merged into ap Iago.

Through merges or whatever, the parents of Tacitus, Verch Genedawc-1 and Aberffraw-2, are shown as being born in the 800s. I am disconnecting them.
