Traditionally, Erbin was a King of Dumnonia, the son of Constantine Corneu and the father of Geraint. [2] He was the brother of Saint Digain, founder of the church at Llangernyw. [3] Erbin succeeded his father as King of Dumnonia around 443. Erbin chiefly appears in Geraint and Enid, one of the Three Welsh Romances of the Mabinogion.
The kings of Dumnonia were the rulers of the large Brythonic kingdom of Dumnonia in the south-west of Great Britain during the Sub-Roman and early medieval periods.. A list of Dumnonian kings is one of the hardest of the major Dark Age kingdoms to accurately compile, as it is confused by Arthurian legend, complicated by strong associations with the kings of Wales and Brittany, and obscured by ...
At this time Dumnonia was sufficiently part of the known world for Aldhelm, later bishop of Sherborne, to address a letter around 705, to its king Geraint regarding the date of Easter. [33] In 682 Wessex forces "advanced as far as the sea", but it is unclear where this was. In 705 a bishopric was set up in Sherborne for the Saxon area west of ...
Howard Pyle's illustration for The Story of the Grail and the Passing of King Arthur (1910). Geraint (/ ˈ ɡ ɛr aɪ n t / GHERR-eyent) is a character from Welsh folklore and Arthurian legend, a valiant warrior possibly related to the historical Geraint, an early 8th-century king of Dumnonia.
Strathclyde had rulers named Geraint and Erbin (or Elfin) in the same era. [4] A King Geraint is the patron folk saint of Gerrans, near Falmouth, with a feast day on 10 August. It is uncertain whether this figure represents this historical Geraint of the 7th–8th centuries, the 5th-century legendary figure, or some other Geraint.
The poem's subject, Geraint mab Erbin, was a popular figure in Welsh tradition and is known through a variety of subsequent sources. Later genealogies associate him with southwestern Britain and South Wales in the late 6th century. [2] The early poem Y Gododdin mentions a "Geraint before the South", conceivably a reference to Geraint mab Erbin. [3]
