Annales Cambriae 447-956

The value of this version is that I have merged two Wikipedia files: Annales_Cambriae A-text taken from AnnalesCambriae (pdf from original printed in Y Cymmrodor Vol 9) and Welsh Annals in Wikisource and adjusted the starting date by plus two years to correct the mistake of the Easter date of entry (a9) being 453, but this has since been shown to be 455. A more detailed discussion of the different versions can be found in Annales Cambriae : John Williams (1860).
This calendar was set up with a row for each year and the check was a roman numeral every ten (Thus when there were too many or too less they could be adjusted.) These are shown in the first column for the A-text. The starting point was unknown, however two set points could be made at position (a9) 455: Easter altered on the Lord's Day by Pope Leo, Bishop of Rome (440-461) and this position is verified by (a151) 597: The death of Columba given in his Vita written by Adomnan. Also, "Days dark as night" corresponds to an eclipse in Germany. (Verification dates in yellow.)
(The text enclosed within the "‡" symbols are entries which are not found in the A-text, but which appear in a later version.)

(a11) an’ (a12) an’ (a13) an’ 459 St. Patrick goes to the Lord.
See the Annals of Ulster for the reasoning that shows this Patrick to be Palladius with Patrick dieing in 491.
(a14) an’ 460 St. David is born in the thirtieth year after Patrick left Menevia.
This date is not possible as the Life of St. Paul Aurelian says that David was a fellow-disciple with Paul, Samson and Gildas under their teacher St. Illtud and St Paul was born in 487. The explanation for this mistake is that after writing the death of St. Patrick, a previous compiler wrote a note from the information used in Rhygyvarch's Life of St David that Patrick regretted that God would not allow him to found Menevia, but that rather David would accomplish this 30 years later. This note then shows David to be born in 489 (459+30). See Reconstructing the Life of St. David

Merlyn, having predicted the eclipse using the Stonehenge calculator, takes Arthur to Angelsey (Ynys Môn). Seeing the eclipse, Merlyn says, "O irreparable loss! O distressed people of Britain! Alas! the illustrious prince is departed! The renowned king of the Britons, Aurelius Ambrosius, is dead!" (G.M.) (Ambrosius dies in 508.) However, Arthur sees strength in the eclipse, calling himself the 'mab uter', 'the son of terrible to behold', the Pendragon (head of the dragon). He will head of the forces of the red dragon who, in Merlyn's prediction, will defeat the white dragon of the Saxons.
