A bear in an age of dog-kings would rule the roost. :wink:
Three of Gildas' kings had dog names:
Maglocunus (Maelgwn) "great-hound"
Cuneglassus (Cynglas) "blue-hound"
And Aurelius Caninus "Aurelius the Dog"
Strange how similar the name Cynglas is to the name of the ostensibly Anglo-Saxon king of the Gewissae (West Saxons) Cyngils, then again the founder of the dynasty had a British name (Cerdic = Ceretic = Caradoc = Caratacus).
