On the subject of the older generations of the House of Gwynedd I came on Academia across a paper of paper of Flint Johnson, The Gwynedd Dynasty from Padarn to Maelgwyn (2020) that takes a new critical look on previous knowledge/assumptions with regard to Cunedda, Taliesin, Gododdin and the trustworthyness of the eldest generations of the Gwynedd Dynasty.

I agree it is nothing compared to Guy Halsall's, Worlds of Arthur. Facts & Fictions of the Dark Ages (2013), but beside the guesswork it provides a critical view on some previous assumptions and points to some peculiarities. From genealogical viewpoint it is a critical approach on a popular line of descent.

What did you find unconvincing?

A quick Google check shows that Flint Johnson has written more on that time period.

>> Dr. Flint Johnson grew up in Hudson, Wisconsin. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, River Falls, he earned his Ph.D. in Medieval Studies, a multi-disciplinary degree, from the University of Glasgow at the age of 26. His other areas of interest include Greek and Germanic classic history, feminist studies, and prehistoric civilizations. A highly creative and prolific writer, he has written many books in several of his different areas of study and is in the process of publishing them. He is currently focusing his work on German history ca. 300 through 550.<<

https://www.amazon.com/Flint-Johnson/e/B001KHFMI2%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Flint-Johnson-2
https://independent.academia.edu/FlintJohnson

In his advise to other researchers I noticed that his knowledge of academic literature is remarkable. It looks to me that dr. Johnson is no amateur whose work can be easily brushed aside with a casual comment.

While credentials like a Master's Degree are not meaningless, the research still has to speak for itself. My original statement was based on the large number of "red flags" I found when resding the paper. For example, discussing the origin of the dynasty of Gwynedd, in the very first paragraph contains the following sentence:

"The Historia Brittonum states that Padarn Peisrud, translated as Paternus of the Red Cloak, founded the dynasty."

This statement is false. Not only does Historia Brittonum [HB] not make this statement, it does not even mention Padarn Peisrud. If we give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was not falsifying his citation, then the most generous assessment would appear to be that of extreme sloppiness. The edition of HB cited is that of Morris, which also prints the Harleian Genealogies, which do mention Padarn Peisrud in the genealogy of the kings of Gwynedd. However, even the genealogies do not make the statement that Padarn founded the dynasty. In fact, no known primary source makes that statement, although it has been a matter of speculation in modern scholarship. It would appear that this particular statement by the author was based on some careless notes which were not checked when the alleged source was cited.

This alone would be enough to cause considerable skepticism, but there are plenty of other problems. The paper shows plenty of "cherry-picking" of data, including from late literary sources (such as the late Welsh tale "Culhwch ac Olwen") treated as if they were genuine "historical" sources.

Indeed, it's in how you treat the details one's craftmanship shows.

My original statement was based on the large number of "red flags" I found when resding the paper. For example, discussing the origin of the dynasty of Gwynedd, in the very first paragraph contains the following sentence:

If we give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was not falsifying his citation, then the most generous assessment would appear to be that of extreme sloppiness. The edition of HB cited is that of Morris, which also prints the Harleian Genealogies, which do mention Padarn Peisrud in the genealogy of the kings of Gwynedd. However, even the genealogies do not make the statement that Padarn founded the dynasty. In fact, no known primary source makes that statement, although it has been a matter of speculation in modern scholarship. It would appear that this particular statement by the author was based on some careless notes which were not checked when the alleged source was cited.

Is there any historically accepted line to Cunedda?

No. The time of his supposed existence would be a century or so before any contemporary recorded history concerning any of his alleged descendants, and several hundred years before any source mentioning Cunedda himself. While it would be difficult to demonstrate convincingly that he is completely mythical, there are enough suspicious elements in the story to cast major doubt.
