Gododdin
The Gododdin ((:ɡoˈdoðin)) were a P-Celtic speaking Brittonic people of north-eastern Britannia, the area known as the Hen Ogledd or Old North (modern south-east Scotland and north-east England), in the sub-Roman period. Descendants of the Votadini, they are best known as the subject of the 6th-century Welsh poem ''Y Gododdin'', which memorializes the Battle of Catraeth and is attributed to Aneirin.
The name ''Gododdin'' is the Modern Welsh form, but the name appeared in Old Welsh as ''Guotodin'' and derived from the tribal name ''Votadini'' recorded in Classical sources, such as in Greek texts from the Roman period.〔Claudius Ptolemaeus, "''Geographia''" (ca. 2nd century)〕
==Kingdom==
It is not known exactly how far the kingdom of the Gododdin extended, possibly from the Stirling area to the kingdom of ''Bryneich'' (Bernicia), and including what are now the Lothian and Borders regions of eastern Scotland. It was bounded on the west by the Brythonic Kingdom of Strathclyde, and to the north by the Picts. Those living around Clackmannanshire were known as the Manaw Gododdin.〔Watson, 1926 〕〔Jackson, 1969 〕 According to tradition, local kings of this period lived at both Traprain Law and ''Din Eidyn'' (Edinburgh, still known as ''Dùn Éideann'' in Scottish Gaelic), and probably also at ''Din Baer'' (Dunbar).
Cunedda, legendary founder of the Kingdom of Gwynedd in north Wales, is supposed to have been a Manaw Gododdin warlord who migrated southwest during the 5th century.〔(''Historia Britonum'' ), retrieved April 4, 2009.〕
