Agricola, King of Demetia (Dyfed)

- Yes, date unknown

• Name	Agricola   [1]
  Suffix	King of Demetia (Dyfed)
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	He was "a good king, according to Gildas." "His reign as king of Dyfed is confirmed by the contemporary testimony of Gildas, who, although he does not provide his name, calls his son Uortiporius the bad son of a good king. His name comes from the later sources, of which HG is the earliest. His chronology is very uncertain, due to the uncertain timeframe of Gildas, but the late fifth century would be a reasonable estimate. Agricola was of Irish descent, a member of the tribe known as the Déisi, a segment of which moved from Ireland to Wasles at an uncertain date, and eventually became rulers of Dyfed. His claimed fathr Tryffin (Triphun), if accurately remembered, is nothing more than a name, and there are significant disagreements in the genealogy prior to Tryffin." [1]
