A mab darogan? http://politics.guardian.co.uk/otherparties/comment/0,,1660579,00.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhydd Meddwl (talk • contribs)


 * It deserves a mention here that he was referred to as "Y Mab Darogan". However, we should make it clear this is symbolic; I don't think anyone believed he was a literal savior in the way they thought of Arthur, Owain, and Henry VIII.--Cúchullain t/ c 21:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

OK I will make the change when I have time if it isn't done before that.--Rhydd Meddwl 22:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Cornwall?
This article starts by referring to the Mab Darogan as a figure in Welsh and Cornish tradition and is categorised as such, yet there is not a single word after that about the Mab Darogan in Cornwall. He is a familiar presence in medieval Welsh literature with a large corpus of prophetic poems about him, for instance, but I must admit that the Cornish dimension is new to me. What is the basis for it? Certainly not medieval Cornish literature. So is there a tradition? What about his name in Cornish? Sources please? Enaidmawr 21:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I can find nothing in my books or on the web about a Cornish Mab Darogan. I'm removing the reference and the category. If anybody has evidence to support the claim they are, of course, welcome to edit the article accordingly. Maybe there was a "destined hero" in Cornish tradition, for all I know, but surely not called Y Mab Darogan? Enaidmawr 22:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Cadwaladr
Would Cadwaladr be a mab darogan, he is mentioned in the article but only in reference to Henry VII. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.177.22 (talk) 21:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No, his memory was just invoked by Henry.--Cúchullain t/ c 21:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Cynan Dindaethwy ap Rhodri
On the Welsh wiki on this topic Cynan is mentioned along with Cadwaladr as being mab darogan's, should this be mentioned on the English language version? My Welsh isn't strong enough to turn the Welsh into English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.177.22 (talk) 15:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
