Battle Of Deorham
The Battle of Deorham (or Dyrham) is claimed as a decisive military encounter between the West Saxons and the Britons of the West Country in 577. The battle, which was a major victory for Wessex's forces led by Ceawlin and his son, Cuthwine, resulted in the capture of the Brythonic cities of (Gloucester), (Cirencester), and ( Bath). It also led to the permanent cultural and ethnic separation of (Devon and Cornwall) from Wales. Account The '' Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' (The A or 'Winchester Manuscript') entry for 577 reads: "577 ''Here Cuthwine and Ceawlin fought against the Britons, and they killed 3 kings, Coinmail, Condidan and Farinmail, in the place which is called Deorham, and took 3 cities: Gloucester and Cirencester and Bath''" ''Deorham'' is generally taken to be Dyrham in what is now South Gloucestershire, on the Cotswolds escarpment a few miles north of Bath.

Ffernfael Ab Idwal
Ffernfael ab Idwal or Ithel (died ) was a late 8th-century king of Gwent in southeast Wales. His name seems to mean "strong ankles".Todd, James H. & al. (trans.) ''Leabhar breathnach annso sis'': the Irish version of the ''Historia Britonum'' of Nennius'. Irish Archaeological Society (Dublin), 1848. Accessed 12 Feb 2013. His father was Idwal or Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywyssing, Gwent, and Ergyng. His father may have divided the kingdom among his sons, with Rhys receiving Glywyssing and Ffernfael, much of Gwent. (Ergyng was apparently lost to Saxon Hwicce around this time.) Alternatively, Ffernfael's brothers Rhodri and Rhys and his nephew Brochfael may have inherited in turn, but lost Gwent to Ffernfael for a time. His queen was Ceingaer.Charles-Edwards, T. Wales and the Britons, 350-1064', Vol. 1. Oxford Univ. Press, 2012. Accessed 12 Feb 2013. Ffernfael's death is recorded by the undated ''Annals of Wales''. Phillimore's reconstruction places the entry in the year 775. H ...

Ffernfael Ap Tewdwr
Ffernfael ap Tewdwr ( en, Ffernfael, son of Tewdwr; owl, Fernmail map Teudur; fl. c. 830) was a king of Buellt and Gwrtheyrnion in medieval Wales. Little is known of him besides a pedigree included in the 9th-century ''Historia Brittonum'', which makes him a descendant of the ruler Vortigern. Life Ffernfael is mentioned in a passage in the 9th-century work ''Historia Brittonum'', which indicates his lordship of Buellt and Gwrtheyrnion and traces his descent from Vortigern and Pascent. His name apparently means "strong-ankles".Todd, James H. & al. (trans.) (1848), ''Leabhar breathnach annso sis'': the Irish version of the ''Historia Britonum'' of Nennius', p. 105. Irish Archaeological Society (Dublin), 1848. Accessed February 22, 2013.
