Template:Short description

Eldol (Template:Langx) is a legendary king of Britain in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Template:Circa work Historia Regum Britanniae ("The History of the Kings of Britain"). He came to power in 155Template:NbspBC.<ref>Monarchie Nobelesse website, Bretons</ref> He was succeeded by Redion.<ref>Sacred Texts website, Histories of the Kings of Britain (Book III), by Geoffry of Monmouth, tr. by Sebastian Evans, (1904)</ref>

A 6th century hero called Eidol is mentioned in The Gododdin but is unlikely to be the source for Geoffrey's Eldol. He should also not be confused with Eldol, Consul of Gloucester, who lives generations later in Geoffrey's work.
