Amlawd Wledig (Anblaud* probably earliest form. "Amlawd" could be "very swift", "very terrible" or "intense tumult" - alternatively it may be from the Norse "Olafr" via Saxon "Amlethus" ["Hamlet"]*; Wledig (or earlier "Guletic") probably denotes a British military leader*). Arthur's mother is listed as Eigr daughter of Amlawd Wledic in the Brut Dingestow* (See Other Works). In Culhwch ac Olwen (Summary) Arthur and Culhwch are noted as cousins and Culhwch's mother is flagged as the daughter of Anlavd Wledic*. "The Life of St. Illtud" in the Cotton Vespasian A14 Manuscript (c.1100 - 1150 CE) also gives the saint as Arthur's cousin and his grandfather as Anblaud, king of Brittany* (or possibly Britain? Latin is Brittannie regis: online).

For a complete list of the potential daughters of this person, and their famous descendants, see Bromwich*. It is possible, based on the Triad "The Three Exculted Prisoners of the Island of Britain" (See Other Works) that there was an old Devon tale centring on the three grandsons of Amlawd - Arthur, Culhwch and Goreu*. In the triad, Arthur is rescued from three prisons by Goreu.
