Alternate spellings: Welsh-Cadfan, Latin-Catamanus, English-Gideon, Gadeon
Gadeon appears in the Dream of Macsen Wledig as brother of King Conan Meriadoc of Dumnonia & Brittany, though he actually seems to have been his son by St. Ursula , presumably born in Rome. Upon the death of his father, Gadeon inherited a position of some power and influence in the Civitas Dumnoniorum, his mother's homeland, while his half-brother, Gradlon (alias Urban), took on Armorica (Brittany). He may have become the decurion of Isca Dumnoniorum (modern Exeter), where he probably died around AD 405. His place in society was inherited by his son, Guoremor .

Before the arrival of the Romans, the Dumnonii seem to have inhabited the southwest peninsula of Britain as far east as the River Parrett in Somerset and the River Axe in Dorset, judging by the coin distributions of the Dobunni and Durotriges . [5] In the Roman period there was a provincial boundary between the area governed from Exeter and those governed from Dorchester and Ilchester .
In the post Roman period the eastern boundary of Dumnonia is unclear. The boundary may have been formed by the West Wansdyke , Selwood Forest and Bokerly Dyke . Thus Dumnonia would have included later Cornwall, Devon, west Somerset and possibly parts of modern Dorset on the eastern border of the Durotriges kingdom. If so Dumnonia would have included places such as Glastonbury and South Cadbury . With the expansion of Wessex, the boundary was gradually pushed westward, see below.
