Cymbeline
an ancient King of Great Britain in a very well-known play of Shakespeare called by his name. By his first wife he had a daughter, Imogen, who married Posthumus Leonatus. His second wife had, by a former husband, a son named Cloten. Shakespeare borrowed the name from the half-historical Cunobelinus in Holinshed's "Chronicle," of whom several coins are extant.
CYMRI (kim'ri), a branch of the Celtic family of nations which appears to have succeeded the Gaels in the great migration of the Celts W., and to have driven the Gaelic branch to the W. (into Ireland and the Isle of Man) and to the N. (into the Highlands of Scotland), of Scotland) , while they themselves occupied the S. parts of Great Britain. At a later period they were themselves driven out CYNANCHUM of the Lowlands of Great Britain by the invasions of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, and compelled to take refuge in the mountainous regions of Wales, Cornwall, and the N. W. of England.
Wales may now be regarded as the chief seat of the Cymri.
