A king of Powys, commemorated on the Pillar of Eliseg. The inscription, as read by Edward Lhuyd in 1696, is as follows:

Concenn, son of Cattell, Cattell son of Brohcmail, Brohcmail son of Eliseg, Eliseg son of Guoilliac. Concenn, who is therefore great-grandson of Eliseg, erected this stone to his great-grandfather Eliseg. Eliseg annexed the inheritance of Powys throughout nine years from the power of the English.

The inscription also mentioned that “Britu moreover was the son of Vortigern whom Germanus blessed,” which seems to tell us the name of King Vortigern’s successor.

The inscription has deteriorated as a result of weathering and is no longer legible (see Symbols: Phallus).
