Dunod Fawr

Dunod Fawr

Dunod Fawr is a figure known from the Welsh Genealogies believed to have been a noble in the post-Roman Hen Ogledd. Dunod was a son of Pabo Post Prydain and is believed to have succeeded his father as ruler of a small polity somewhere in what is now the North of England, possibly in Lonsdale and/or the Craven region of Yorkshire.

After the assassination of the apparent overlord of the Northern British, Urien Rheged, Dunod is said to have invaded Urien's homeland of Rheged (in the Lake District), doing battle against Urien's sons Owain mab Urien and Pascent mab Urien. He is said to have died at the hands of the Bernician Angles in around 595 AD. His common epithet was Bwr, meaning 'stout', though he was occasionally known as Fawr, meaning 'the Great'.
