Line 9:
In some sources, Gwallog is given the epithet ''Marchog Trin'', meaning "battle horseman". If his identification as king of Elmet is correct, he was succeeded by his son [[Ceretic of Elmet|Ceredig]], the last king of Elmet, who was deposed by [[Edwin of Northumbria|St. Edwin]] of [[Northumbria|Deira]].
Over time, Gwallog evolved into a semi-mythological figure akin to [[King Arthur|Arthur]]. In the medieval text ''Geraint son of Erbin'', he appears one of Arthur's knights and is named in the [[Welsh Triads]] as one of the ''"Three Armed Warriors of the Island of Britain"'' as well as one of the ''"Three Battle Pillars of the Island of Britain"''. Gwallog is also mentioned in the [[Black Book of Carmarthen]] poem ''Ymddiddan Gwyddno Garanhir a Gwyn ap Nudd'' as one of the slain warriors escorted to their graves by [[Gwyn ap Nudd]], the lord of the Welsh [[Annwn|Otherworld]].
