Gurgust “The Ragged” Rheged, fl 480s-500s

Gurgust, which is a Latinised spelling of Gwrgi, is listed in the genealogies as a grandson of Coel and the great-grandfather of Urien. In the great upheaval of the century after roman rule, it seems likely that Gurgust inherited most of the Brigantian territory from his father Ceneu, particular the area of Rheged and the west, though it seems that the central part of the territory went to his brother Pabo.540
