  • Caradoc of Llancarfan was a Welsh cleric and author who was associated with Llancarfan in Wales during the 12th century. He is generally accepted to be the author of a Life of Gildas and of a Life of Saint Cadog in Latin. He was a contemporary of Geoffrey of Monmouth, author of the Historia Regum Britanniae. At the end of his pseudo-history, Geoffrey refers to Caradoc writing its continuation covering the period from 689 to his own times, a reference to the genuine historical chronicle Brut y Tywysogion. None of the extant medieval copies in Latin and Welsh of Brut y Tywysogion mention Caradog as author of the text. In the 16th century, in his Historie of Cambria, Welsh antiquary David Powel claimed his work was a continuation of Caradoc's chronicle. At the end of the 18th century, Iolo Morganwg wrote what he claimed was Caradoc's lost chronicle, Brut Aberpergwm. Published in The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales, the work became one of the most influential and best-known of Iolo's numerous literary and antiquarian forgeries. Like the rest of Iolo's work, it gives Morgannwg a central place in early and medieval Welsh history.
  • カラドック・オブ・スランカーファン（Caradoc of Llancarfan）は12世紀のウェールズに生きた修道士。聖ギルダスの生涯を綴った「聖ギルダス伝」の著者として知られるが、内容は大幅にフィクションとなっている。また当時カンブリアと呼ばれたウェールズの年代記も手がけ、後にこれは16世紀の史家によって引用されている。 カラドックはこの時代のもうひとりの歴史著述家、ジェフリー・オブ・モンマスと同時代人である。その影響からか、彼の「ギルダス伝」にはアーサー王の妻グィネヴィアがさらわれ、誘拐者メルワスとアーサー王の戦いをギルダスが調停するという記述がされている。
