Petroc Baladrddellt
Petroc Baladrddellt (also known as Pedrog, or Pedrogl ''Paladrddellt'') was a 7th-century King of Dumnonia (now the English West Country). Monarch According to the Welsh pedigrees in the ''Bonedd y Saint'' or "Genealogies of the Saints", Petroc ''Baladrddellt'' ap Clemen was the son of Clemen (or Clement) ap Bledrig, his epithet meaning "Splintered Spear". It is thought he was born in ''c.'' 600 and succeeded to the Dumnonian throne after his father in ''c.'' 630, reigning at a time of continued West Saxon aggression which had also affected his father. His death may have occurred in ''c.'' 652 when King Cenwalh of Wessex is said to have defeated the Britons at the battle of Bradford-on-Avon, taking large swathes of Dorset and Somerset. Other sources are unclear as to whether this battle was civil war between Cenwalh and his kinsman Cuthred, or against the Welsh or the Mercians or both. Family King Petroc may have had two sons, Culmin (or Cwlfyn) and Progmael (or Brochwel). In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
