Uthyr Pendragon died in 506. He held the royal title of King of Britain. Uthyr is, of course, famous as the father of King Arthur in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (completed sometime before 1139) but he was known to Welsh tradition prior to the publication of this work (pace Geoffrey Ashe: see A.O.H. Jarman 'Emrys Wledig; Amlawdd Wledig; Uthr Bendragon' in Llên Cymru 2 (1952)), for example in the early poem 'Pa gur yv y porthaur?' from the Black Book of Carmarthen one of Arthur's band of men is named as:

Mabon son of Myrdon, / Uthr Pendragon's servant; (Lines 13-14; Patrick Sims-Williams 'The Early Welsh Arthurian Poems' in Bromwich et al (edd.) The Arthur of the Welsh: The Arthurian Legend in Medieval Welsh Literature (Cardiff 1991), pp.33-71 at p.40)

One of the most interesting questions is, naturally, whether he was viewed as Arthur's father previous to Geoffrey - the answer to this is probably 'yes'. In the 'Dialogue of Arthur and the Eagle' (Ymddiddan Arthur a'r Eryr), which is independent of the Geoffrey's work, the eagle reveals itself to be Arthur's deceased nephew, Eliwlod son of Madawg son of Uthyr (verses 7-9) i.e. Arthur and Madawg are both sons of Uthyr (the above relationship between Uthyr and Madawg is confirmed by another reference in the Book of Taliesin - see note on Madawg). In addition to this, in the Book of Taliesin poem Marwnat vthyr pen[dragon] (another piece of evidence, incidently, for a pre-Galfridian Uthyr) the speaker, who would appear to be Uthyr, boasts "I have shared my refuge, a ninth share in Arthur's valour", that is, perhaps, that he has passed on his qualities (or his kingdom) to Arthur, and later that "The world [or 'battle'] would not exist if it were not for my progeny" (see Patrick Sims-Williams 'The Early Welsh Arthurian Poems' in Bromwich et al (edd.) The Arthur of the Welsh: The Arthurian Legend in Medieval Welsh Literature (Cardiff 1991), pp.33-71 at p.53). Accepting the above it must therefore be asked what was the nature of this Uthyr beyond being percieved as Arthur's father? The crucial piece of evidence is provided by Triad 28 from NLW Peniarth MS 16 (again independent of the Geoffrey tradition) which tells us that Uthyr was a great and renowned enchanter/magician who teaches one of the 'Three Great Enchantments of the Island of Britain' to Menw son of Teirgwaedd, a character who has the ability to shape-shift and to become invisible in Culhwch ac Olwen - this fits, of course, very nicely with the episode in Geoffrey's text in which Uthyr shape-shifts in order to lie with Gorlois's wife and Bromwich's suggestion that Geoffrey was here drawing on a native tradition, just as he did in making Uthyr Arthur's father, appears to have been accepted (cf. Rachel Bromwich (ed. and trans.) Trioedd Ynys Prydein. The Welsh Triads (University of Wales Press, Cardiff 1961), p.56; Sims-Williams 1991, p.53. It is generally acepted by modern scholars that British traditions and stories lie behind many elements of Geoffrey's work, though the Arthurian sections taken as a whole are Geoffrey's alone and owe little to prior narrative: see Brynley F. Roberts 'Geoffrey of Monmouth, Historia Regum Britanniae and Brut y Brenhinedd' in Bromwich et al (edd.) The Arthur of the Welsh: The Arthurian Legend in Medieval Welsh Literature (Cardiff 1991) pp.97-116). Thus Uthyr was probably originally percieved as a magician and shape-shifter who became known as Arthur's father (for the view that Uthyr was originally a Celtic god, see Kemp Malone 'The Historicity of Arthur' in the Journal of English and Germanic Philology 23 (1924) pp.463-91). With regards to the name, uthr can be both an adjective ('terrible') or a proper name, a fact that has caused some confusion in the past - however, in the light of the evidence for pre-Galfridian traditions about this figure and the fact that Uthyr appears as a personal name in Welsh and Irish sources there is no reason to look for the origins of the name Uthyr Pendragon in an early gloss on the name Arthur (see Jarman 1952 and Bromwich 1961, pp.521-2). Pendragon means literally 'Chief Dragon' but dragon occurs in the oldest poetry (e.g. in Y Gododdin) as a euphemism for warriors - thus Pendragon should be taken as something like 'foremost leader' or 'chief of warriors' (see Bromwich 1961, pp.520-23).

Vanlande was born about 298 in Sweden. He has Ancestral File Number G6SX-Q1. He held the royal title of King of Uppsala. Vanlande, Swegde's son, succeeded his father, and ruled over the Upsal domain. He was a great warrior, and went far around in different lands. Once he took up his winter abode in Finland with Snae the Old, and got his daughter Driva in marriage; but in spring he set out leaving Driva behind, and although he had promised to return within three years he did not come back for ten. Then Driva sent a message to the witch Huld; and sent Visbur, her son by Vanlande, to Sweden. Driva bribed the witch- wife Huld, either that she should bewitch Vanlande to return to Finland, or kill him. When this witch-work was going on Vanlande was at Upsal, and a great desire came over him to go to Finland; but his friends and counsellors advised him against it, and said the witchcraft of the Finn people showed itself in this desire of his to go there. He then became very drowsy, and laid himself down to sleep; but when he had slept but a little while he cried out, saying that the Mara was treading upon him. His men hastened to him to help him; but when they took hold of his head she trod on his legs, and when they laid hold of his legs she pressed upon his head; and it was his death. The Swedes took his body and burnt it at a river called Skytaa, where a standing stone was raised over him. Thus says Thjodolf: --
"And Vanlande, in a fatal hour,
Was dragg'd by Grimhild's daughter's power,
The witch-wife's, to the dwelling-place
Where men meet Odin face to face.
Trampled to death, to Skytaa's shore
The corpse his faithful followers bore;
And there they burnt, with heavy hearts,
The good chief killed by witchcraft's arts.
