Eldol (Welsh:Eidol mab Arthmael) is a legendary king of Britain inGeoffrey of Monmouth'sc. 1136 workHistoria Regum Britanniae ("The History of the Kings of Britain"). He came to power in 155 BC.[1] He was succeeded by Redion.[2]
A 6th century hero called Eidol is mentioned inTheGododdin but is unlikely to be the source for Geoffrey's Eldol. He should also not be confused withEldol, Consul of Gloucester, who lives generations later in Geoffrey's work.
