Pabo Post Prydain

Pabo Post Prydain

Pabo Post Prydain was a king somewhere in the Hen Ogledd or "Old North" of sub-Roman Britain.

According to Old Welsh genealogies, which were largely produced to prove a monarch's royal pedigree, Pabo Post Prydain (Pabo Pillar of Britain) inherited his kingdom from his father Arthwys Ap Mor, a great grandson of Coel Hen. Historians conjecture that he may have ruled in the Pennines or around Papcastle in Cumberland (now Cumbria) in the 6th century. Pedigrees of descent for two of his sons - Sawyl Penuchel and Dunod Fawr - are known, perhaps suggesting a later division of his kingdom.

Pabo is sometimes identified with Saint Pabo who died and is buried at Llanbabo on Anglesey. If so, he presumably abdicated in order to retire in the west.
