The somewhat later cycle of Middle Welsh poems associated with [[Llywarch Hen]] suggests that Gwallog later made war against Urien's former kingdom of [[Rheged]] in concert with [[Dunod Fawr]] of the [[Pennines|Northern Pennines]], attacking Urien's sons. Here, Gwallog is given the epithet ''Marchog Trin'', meaning "battle horseman".<ref>''The Poems of Taliesin'', ed. by Ifor Williams, trans. by J. E. Caerwyn Williams, Medieval and Modern Welsh Series, 3 (Dublin: The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1968), pp. lviii-lix.</ref> Again, this poetry probably tells us more about later legends of Gwallog than any sixth-century history.
Over time, Gwallog evolved into a semi-mythological figure akin to [[King Arthur|Arthur]]. In the medieval text [[Geraint son of Erbin]], he is named as one of Arthur's knights<ref>http://d.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/text/guest-geraint. {{
The medieval Welsh ''[[Bonedd y Saint]]'' claims that Gwallog was the father of [[Saint Dwywe]], though this is unlikely to be based on sound historical information.<ref>W. Owen Pughe, 'The Topopgraphy of Meirion', ''Transactions of the Cymmrodorion, or Metropolitan Cambrian Institution'', 1 (1822), 150-72 (p. 169).</ref>
