Mascuid Gloff, King of Elmet
(born c.440)
(Welsh-Masgwid, Latin-Mascuidius, English-Maximilian)
Mascuid the Lame was the second son of King Gwrast Lledlwm
of Rheged. He appears to have inherited the southern portion of
his father's Kingdom in the late 5th century, and thus probably
became the first independant King of Elmet or Elfed as its is
sometimes called. His capital may have been at Campoduno
(Leeds), though it is possible that this was the centre of a separate
sub-kingdom called Loidis.
