== Cuneglasus and Gildas == Cuneglasus is one of the five "tyrants" of Britain denounced by Gildas in his c. early sixth century CE work On the Ruin of Britain. Gildas says of him: "You bear, you rider and ruler of many, and guider of the chariot which is the receptacle of the bear"; "You contempter of God and vilifier of his order"; "You tawny butcher, as in the Roman tongue thy name signifies"; one who raises war against men, indeed against his own countrymen, as well as against God; one who has "thrown out of doors your wife" and lustfully desires "her detestable sister who had vowed unto God, the everlasting chastity of widowhood".
