艾隆

亨奥格莱兹

艾隆古布立吞语:Aeron)是一个布立吞人王国,属于亨奥格莱兹(意为“古北方”),据信位于现今苏格兰西南部的艾尔河流域[1]。它存在于后罗马不列颠时代,甚至可能更早,并在7世纪该地区被崛起的诺森布里亚王国征服之前或期间消亡。

《塔列辛之书》中在赞颂雷杰德的乌里恩的诗中偶有提及艾隆。它也是《阿奈林之书》中数位英雄的故乡。这些英雄的一些家族亦出现在与更著名的阿尔特·克鲁特国王的家族谱系相关的王族谱系中。上述现象,加之“艾隆”(Aeron)与“艾尔”(Ayr)在语音上的相似性,共同暗示了艾隆的地理位置。[1][2]

目前并无任何史料能够确证艾隆的历史,甚至其是否确实存在,仅有文学上的引用、相关谱系的一致性、以及偶然相关的历史记载。虽然艾隆可能位于今日苏格兰境内,但作为亨奥格莱兹的一部分,它也是威尔士历史不可分割的一部分,因为威尔士人与“北方之人”自视为同一个民族,在现代威尔士语中合称“同胞”(Cymry)[3]
