[edit] Name
- "also known as ... Maelgwn I ..."
Judging by a Google search, only known as Maelgwn I in this article. I've certainly never heard him called that. Rhion 17:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nonsense
- "The historical Maelgwn king of Gwynedd and one of the most influential rulers of 6th century Britain."
This is not a sentence and means nothing. Since I know nothing about this I can't edit it to make sense... Teutanic 23:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Maelgwn
Forgive my ignorance, I don't know much old or middle welsh, but doesn't this man's name mean "bald dog". In the Irish forms recorded for the Pictish king Bridei's father, this is indeed what it appears to mean (or rather "Máel of the Dog"). - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 09:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
