Beli Mawr - Henry of Huntingdon's Belinus

Henry of Huntingdon's Belinus

The 12th century English historian Henry of Huntingdon, in his Historia Anglorum (first published in 1129 AD), follows the Historia Brittonum in his discussion of Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain, mentioning a Belinus, brother of Cassibella(u)nus, who are both styled sons of Liud (see Lludd Llaw Ereint), who is substituted for the Historia Brittonum's Minocannus.
