About Dunod Fawr

Lived 505 – 595 (aged 89–90). Dunod Fawr was a sovereign.

Dynod son of Pabo ( or Dunod ap Pabo; ; died c. 595), better known as Dynod the Stout or Dynod Fawr was the ruler in the post-Roman Hen Ogledd ("Old North"). Regio Dunutinga was a region mentioned in the Life of Wilfrid. It might be somewhere in the Peninnes. Alternatively P.N. Wood identifies Dunoting with the area of Craven.

Dynod was a son of Pabo Post Prydain and is thought to have succeeded to his kingdom. He was the father of Saint Deiniol, founder of Bangor by Dwywai ferch Lleenog. He is also mentioned in a poem on the death of Urien of Rheged. Llywarch Hen says: "Let savage Unhwch guide me; It was said in Drws Llech, ‘Dunod ap Pabo does not retreat.’"
