    Notes 
    • Birth and Parents
      Aed Brosc, one of the Déisi of Ireland, was recruited by Magnus Maximus in an effort to deter pirates from Ireland raiding the Welsh coast. Aed Brosc and his people settled in Wales, becoming "Protectors" and eventually rulers in Demetia, South Wales. [1]

      Aed Brosc, son of Corath and grandson of Eochaid Allmuir, "appears as the father of Trestin in the Irish version of the pedigree of the kings of Dyfed. (Early Welsh Genealogical Tables p.4) and corresponds to Owain Fraisg, father of Tryffin, in the Welsh versions. [2]

      Aed Brosc mac Corath is a legendary figure in Irish and Welsh history. [3]

      Settlement in Demetia (Dyfed)
      Aed Brosc appears to be the Déisi leader who is invited to settle in Demetia (Dyfed, Wales) sometime between 0380 - 0383. [4]

      Aed Brosc was of the tribe of the Déssi who hailed from the County Waterford region of Ireland. His grandfather, Eochaid Allmuir (from Over the Sea) had left his homeland when a bid for independence by his people was severely crushed by their High-King. There is some evidence to suggest the Roman authorities asked for his help in keeping Irish pirates away from the Dyfed coast. His descendants in the area certainly used the Roman title of 'Protector' rather than king. [3]

      Line of Descent and Birth Year Estimation
      The following line of descent from Eochaid to Cathen, King of Dyfed and Brycheiniog, is presented by Bartrum [5] and includes persons included by Stewart Baldwin in his presentation of the ancestors of Llewelyn ap Iorwerth. [6] Estimated birth years with *asterisk are shown based on notations added to the Bartrum line of descent chart, or in the absence of such notations, at 30 year intervals.
