Mae Gododdin wedi mynd nôl i’r Hen Ogledd. Ac mae Russell Goodway yn dangos bod ei grap e ar hanes cynnar Ynys Prydain yn dipyn bach yn gryfach na’r un Jack Straw*, ond nid llawer:

“Since the Gododdin were a tribe of South Scotland, I understand why Scotland should claim that Arthur was Scottish,” he said. “But I am bound to say that the case for a Welsh Arthur is stronger.”

Wel, Cymry oedd y Gododdin, Russ, felly wyt ti yn llygad dy le. ’Sdim angen ymddiheuro dros y ffaith.

Yr oedd llythyr ddoe yn y Western Mail gan Lyn Jenkins, Gwbert, oedd yn wneud pwynt da iawn am duedd o gyfeirio at y Cymry fel y Celtiaid:

That land may now be called Scotland, but those people [Owain ab Urien et al] were indisputably Welsh — they could hardly be anything else with those names! Strathclyde or Ystrad Clud was Welsh speaking until about 1250 at least. The Welsh have a continuous history of [sic] this island since at least 600 BC. Why do so many historians attempt to write us out of the history of England and Scotland by changing our identity?

* Mewn erthygl yn Yr Observer yn diweddar, dwedodd Straw taw’r Eingl-Sacsoniaid oedd y first people in Britain. Sa i’n gallu ffindio’r erthygl ar wefan y Guardian, yn anffodus.
