Garbaniawn or Germanianus Ruler of the southern Votadini, in Bryneich around ca 430s to 450s. The later genealogies treat him as the son of Coel and the father of Dumnagual Moilmut. Nothing more is known about either of them, but it is likely that their main fort was at Bamburgh, and that most of their lives would have been spent in fighting the Picts and the increasing onslaught of the Angles and Saxons who began to harry the eastern coasts during Garbaniawn’s reign. He may be the same as Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Gorbonianus, whom he records as a benign and peaceful king.540
