Mascuid Gloff, King of Elmet (Born c.AD 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.
