Anwn Ddu or Annun Ddu was a pseudohistorical Welsh king who was believed to have ruled Kingdom of Dyfed and Kingdom of Gwent, however he was proved to have never existed. The mythical king can be originated to Iolo Morganwg who forged a manuscript. He was also confused for Marcus Antonius^[1] and interpreted as Anwn Ddu, king of Gwent and Dyfed.^[2]^[3]

A welsh legend claims he was appointed by Magnus Maximus, who later became Roman Emperor (and hence referred to in Welsh as Macsen Wledig - Maximus the Emperor). Some genealogies claim him to be Magnus' son. His realm was divided upon his death between his sons Edynfed and Tudwal.
