  • Calchfynydd (Welsh calch "lime" + mynydd "mountain") was an obscure Britonnic kingdom or sub-kingdom of sub-Roman Britain. Its exact location is unknown and virtually nothing certain is known about it. The name survives in the epithet of Cadrawd Calchfynydd, apparently a 6th-century ruler of the district. Welsh sources refer to Cadrawd as one of the Gwyr y Gogledd or 'Men of the North', suggesting the area was located somewhere in northern Britain. William Forbes Skene suggested an identification with Kelso (formerly Calchow) in southern Scotland and Rachel Bromwich agrees that a location somewhere in the Hen Ogledd is most likely. Alistair Moffat in his history of Kelso supports this position, citing early references to "Chalchou," as well as the chalk area and Chalkheugh Terrace. John Morris placed it south of the realm of Urien of Rheged. Hills of lime or chalk might refer to the Cotswolds or Chilterns. (en)

  • Il Regno di Calchfynedd è un regno celtico semileggendario della Gran Bretagna altomedievale. Esso nacque dalla suddivisione dell'Ebrauc (che ruotava attorno a York, in Inghilterra), dopo la morte del suo sovrano, Arthuis, nonno di Cynwyd Cynwydion, primo sovrano del Calchfynedd, o meglio del Cynwydion (come in origine si chiamò il Calchfynedd). Il territorio del regno si sarebbe trovato sulle rive del in Cumbria, nel sud del Powys e comprendeva città come Northampton e Dunstable. Quest'area fu data al figlio Cynwyd Cynwydion (inizi VI secolo). Il regno cadde attorno al 616 sotto i colpi degli anglosassoni della Mercia.
