Cuncar, King of Bryneich (Born c.AD 490) (Welsh: Cyngar; Latin: Concarius; English: Conger) The son of Dumnagual
Moilmut, possibly the youngest. It is uncertain if he was a King
of Bryneich at all. He may have inherited the kingdom from his childless
brother, Bran Hen, in the mid-6th century or the throne may have passed
directly to his son, Morcant Bulc. If
his brother, Bran's identification with the Brennius of Geoffrey of
Monmouth be accepted, it would appear that the brothers received half the
kingdom each from their father and armies clashed over the exact
proportions. King Ida of the Bernicians was in the ascendant during his
reign, probably the period at which they overran the British Royal Palace
at Din-Guardi (Bamburgh).
