Напомена

CAUTION. This is an amalgamated hero.

This source has become highly mythologized and in the Mabinogi is presented as an amalgamated hero (This is an historical person of the first century, who has been merged with a fictional character of the 5th Century). The problem is his association with the legendary King Arthur who historically would have been Lucius Artoris the Roman General of the first century, not the similarly named political figure of the 5th Century.

The entire Arthurian body of literature is based on two historical persons of differing eras combined with legendary and fictional material that distinguishing between the two is nearly impossible without the aid of 3rd party Latin references.

The reference to him as a son of Llyr refers to descent within 4 generations as was the custom at the time among the Sarmation Welsh.

In the poem, Pa gur yv y porthaur ("What Man is the Gatekeeper?"), He is mentioned as a contemporary of Arthur (Lucius Artoris) and the Cinbin (Cymri - or Dogheads) referring to the Sarmation legion who were called dogheads or wolfmen on account of the preponderance of the red haired phenotype commonly associated with foxes and wolves.

Manawydan is also associated with a figure known as Garwlwyd Grey-Cloak who led an army in a battle at Tryfrwyd (which may or may not be located in Britain) against Arthur and Cai near the river Pa Gur (Consistent with first century history).
