Rheged. Welsh-speaking kingdom of the 5th–7th centuries in what is today Scotland whose king Urien was much praised by Taliesin. The centre of the kingdom was the Eden valley around the modern city of Carlisle, but its precise boundaries and extent are unknown. Its influence reached to Strathclyde in the north, Gododdin in the east, and what is now Lancashire and Yorkshire in the south. In earlier times this was the territory of the Novantae.
