Talk:Hywel the Great

Merge from Saint Hywel
Baring-Gould makes it clear that, while the hagiographic tradition varies somewhat from the historical and Arthurian ones, they're talking about the exact same legendary figure: a princely refugee from Brittany, named "Hywel" son of "Emyr Llydaw", participating in the Arthurian romances. — Llywelyn II   13:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

 * There's probably no need for separate articles if sources discuss them as the same figure (or even related variants). The article needs a lot of work, though.--Cúchullain t/ c 20:51, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think an RfC is necessary, there's not much to discuss here. The Saint Hywel article is in such a state that there's not much to merge anyway. A redirect with sentence siting Baring-Gould as saying the figures are the same should suffice.--Cúchullain t/ c 03:08, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with the merge. I don't think an RfC is necessary if there's no opposition to the move. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 01:48, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I support a merge but the article(s) have a lot of work ahead. Fraulein451 (talk) 18:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Other Hoels
The saint and legendary king are probably this guy, but suggests that "Riwal" in Domnonia was probably a "King (=rhi) Hoel" around the same time. This may have been the Hoel encountered by Saint Malo, who tended to hang out on the north coast. — Llywelyn II   15:24, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
