Caradoc (Caractacus) was King of Siluria (now Monmouthshire, etc.),
where he died. He was born at Trevan, Llanilid, in Glamorganshire. His
valiant services to his country have been told in connection with the
attempted invasions of the island. The Bards record his wise saying:
"Oppression persisted in brings on death." He had three sons and two
daughters as follows:

o 1. Cyllin (Cyllinus). See below.

o 2. Lleyn (Linus) the Martyr.

o 3. Cynon

o 4. Eurgain

o 5. Gladys (Claudia), was adopted by Emperor Claudius and became
Claudius Britannica. In her 17th year she married Rufus Pudens., a
Roman Senator. She died in 97 A.D. She and her two sons and two
daughters were instructed by St. Paul in the Christian faith.
Around 100 A.D. all the children suffered martyrdom in Rome under
Nero, who at age 16 succeeded Claudius as Emperor on September 28,
53 A.D.
