Rhun (Welsh Given Name)
Rhun is a Welsh Masculine given name meaning "Great, Mighty". Variants of the name are; Rhûn, Rhyn and Rhŷn. One origin of the name appears to start from the Welsh names for Rome and Roman (as a person), ''Rhufain'' and ''Rhufon'', leading to ''Rhun'' as "the proper name of a man" and ''Rhyon'' as a soldier. Rhun in literature The story of The Dream of Rhonabwy in the 12th century Red Book of Hergest is a prose literary tale where the main character travels to the time of King Arthur in a dream. There he sees famous men from many historical eras. In a passage where 24 knights arrive to seek a truce with the famous Arthur, Arthur considers the request by assembling his counselors where "a tall, auburn, curly-headed man" was standing. Rhonabwy asks who he is, and is told that he is Rhun ap Maelgwn Gwynedd, a man who may join in counsel with anyone, because there was none in Britain better skilled in counsel than he.

Beli Ap Rhun
Beli ap Rhun (c. 517 – c. 599) was List of rulers of Gwynedd, King of Gwynedd (reigned c. 586 – c. 599). Nothing is known of the person, and his name is known only from Wales, Welsh genealogies, which confirm that he had at least two sons. He succeeded his father Rhun Hir ap Maelgwn as king, and was in turn succeeded by his son Iago ap Beli, Iago. Beli was either the father or grandfather of Saint Edeyrn. The royal genealogies of the Harleian genealogies, Genealogies from Jesus College MS 20, Jesus College MS. 20, and ''Hengwrt MS. 202'' show him as the ancestor and descendant of kings, and thus presumably a king himself. The ''Bonedd y Saint'' () says that he is the ancestor of Saint Edeyrn (the ''Bonedd y Saint'' says that he was the son of Nudd or Lludd who was the son of Beli, while ''Hengwrt MS. 202'' says that he was the son of Beli). One of the medieval ''Welsh Triads'' mentions a certain "Rhun ap Beli",, ''The Ecclesiastical Antiquities of the Kymry'' implying that t ...

Rhun Ab Arthgal
Rhun ab Arthgal was a ninth-century King of Strathclyde. He is the only known son of Arthgal ap Dyfnwal, King of Alt Clut. In 870, during the latter's reign, the fortress of Alt Clut was captured by Vikings, after which Arthgal and his family may have been amongst the mass of prisoners taken back to Ireland. Two years later Arthgal is recorded to have been slain at the behest of Causantín mac Cináeda, King of the Picts. The circumstances surrounding this regicide are unknown. The fact that Rhun seems to have been Causantín's brother-in-law could account for Causantín's interference in the kingship of Alt Clut. The Viking destruction of the capital fortress of the Kingdom of Alt Clut appears to have brought about a reorientation of the kingdom towards the valley of the River Clyde. In consequence, the realm came to be known as the Kingdom of Strathclyde. Either Rhun or his father could have been the first kings of Strathclyde. In the years following the fall of Alt Clut, Rhu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tolkien's fictional continent Middle-earth on the planet Arda, but widely taken to mean all of creation ('' Eä'') as well as all of his writings about it. Arda was created as a flat world, incorporating a Western continent, Aman, which became the home of the godlike Valar, as well as Middle-earth.

In the Second Age, a large island, Númenor, was created in the Great Sea, Belegaer, between Aman and Middle-earth; it was destroyed in a cataclysm near the end of the Second Age, in which Arda was remade as a spherical world, and Aman was removed so that Men could not reach it.
