While Bede does not specifically describe Elmet as a kingdom, but rather as <i>silva Elmete</i> the "forest of Elmet", it is clear from his discussion that it was a distinct polity, with its own monarchs. The name 'Elfed/Elmet' is <a href="/wiki/Common_Brittonic" title="Common Brittonic">Brythonic</a> in origin and is also found in <a href="/wiki/Elvet_Hundred" title="Elvet Hundred">Elfed</a>, the name of a <a href="/wiki/Cantref" title="Cantref">cantref</a> in <a href="/wiki/Dyfed" title="Dyfed">Dyfed</a>, Wales.<sup id="cite_ref-Smith_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Smith-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From this evidence it appears that Elmet was one of a number of <a href="/wiki/Sub-Roman_Britain" title="Sub-Roman Britain">Sub-Roman Brittonic realms</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Hen_Ogledd" title="Hen Ogledd">Hen Ogledd</a> – what is now northern England and southern Scotland – during the Early Middle Ages. Other kingdoms included <a href="/wiki/Rheged" title="Rheged">Rheged</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Strathclyde" title="Kingdom of Strathclyde">Kingdom of Strathclyde</a> (<a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Strathclyde" title="Kingdom of Strathclyde">Ystrad Clud</a>), <a href="/wiki/Bryneich" class="mw-redirect" title="Bryneich">Bryneich</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gododdin" title="Gododdin">Gododdin</a>. It is unclear how Elmet came to be established, though it has been suggested that it may have been created from a larger kingdom ruled by the semi-legendary <a href="/wiki/Coel_Hen" title="Coel Hen">Coel Hen</a>. The historian <a href="/wiki/Alex_Woolf" title="Alex Woolf">Alex Woolf</a> suggests that the region of Elmet had a distinct tribal identity in pre-Roman times and that this re-emerged after Roman rule collapsed. </p><p>Towards the end of the 6th century, Elmet came under increasing pressure from the expanding Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of <a href="/wiki/Deira" title="Deira">Deira</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mercia" title="Mercia">Mercia</a>. Forces from Elmet joined the ill-fated alliance in 590 against the <a href="/wiki/Angles_(tribe)" title="Angles (tribe)">Angles</a> of <a href="/wiki/Bernicia" title="Bernicia">Bernicia</a> who had been making massive inroads further to the north. During this war it is thought Elmet's king <a href="/wiki/Gwallog" class="mw-redirect" title="Gwallog">Gwallog</a> was killed. The northern alliance collapsed after <a href="/wiki/Urien" title="Urien">Urien</a> of Rheged was murdered and a feud broke out between two of its key members. </p><p>After the unification of the Anglian Kingdom of Northumbria, King <a href="/wiki/Edwin_of_Northumbria" title="Edwin of Northumbria">Edwin of Northumbria</a> led an invasion of Elmet, and overran it in 616 or 617. Bede's <i><a href="/wiki/Ecclesiastical_History_of_the_English_People" title="Ecclesiastical History of the English People">Ecclesiastical History of the English People</a></i> says that a Northumbrian noble, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hereric&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hereric (page does not exist)">Hereric</a> (father of <a href="/wiki/Hilda_of_Whitby" title="Hilda of Whitby">Hilda of Whitby</a>), an exiled member of the Northumbrian royal house was killed with poison, while living at the court of King <a href="/wiki/Ceretic_of_Elmet" title="Ceretic of Elmet">Ceretic of Elmet</a>. It has been suggested that this was either the <i><a href="/wiki/Casus_belli" title="Casus belli">casus belli</a></i> for the invasion, if Hereric was poisoned by his hosts, or a pretext for a Northumbrian annexation of Elmet, if Edwin himself had Hereric poisoned. The <i>Historia Brittonum</i> says that Edwin "occupied Elmet and expelled Certic [<i><a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a></i>], king of that country". It is generally presumed that Ceretic was the same person known in Welsh sources as <a href="/wiki/Ceredig_ap_Gwallog" class="mw-redirect" title="Ceredig ap Gwallog">Ceredig ap Gwallog</a>, king of Elmet. A number of ancestors of Ceretic are recorded in <a href="/wiki/Welsh_language" title="Welsh language">Welsh</a> sources: one of <a href="/wiki/Taliesin" title="Taliesin">Taliesin</a>'s poems is for his father, <a href="/wiki/Gwallog_ap_Lleenog" class="mw-redirect" title="Gwallog ap Lleenog">Gwallog ap Lleenog</a>, who may have ruled Elmet near the end of the 6th century. Bede mentions that "subsequent kings made a house for themselves in the district, which is called <a href="/wiki/Loidis" class="mw-redirect" title="Loidis">Loidis</a>". </p><p>However some sources do indicate that Elmet was actually peacefully annexed by Northumbria and that there was no direct military confrontation.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the annexation of Elmet, the realm was incorporated into Northumbria on <a href="/wiki/Easter" title="Easter">Easter</a> in 627.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its people were known subsequently as the <i>Elmetsæte</i>.

They were the most northerly group recorded in the <i>Tribal Hidage</i>. Probably continuing as a distinct Brittonic Celtic tribe throughout most of the Anglo-Saxon period, the tribe may have colluded with <a href="/wiki/Cadwallon_ap_Cadfan" title="Cadwallon ap Cadfan">Cadwallon ap Cadfan</a> of <a href="/wiki/Gwynedd" title="Gwynedd">Gwynedd</a> when he invaded Northumbria and briefly held the area in 633. </p><p>A major battle between Northumbria and Mercia, the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Winwaed" title="Battle of the Winwaed">Battle of the Winwaed</a> took place in the area in 655, according to Bede, somewhere in the region of <i>Loidis</i>. </p><p>The <i><a href="/wiki/Cathr%C3%B3e_of_Metz" title="Cathróe of Metz">Life of Cathróe of Metz</a></i> mentions <i>Loidam Civitatem</i> as the boundary between the <a href="/wiki/Norsemen" title="Norsemen">Norsemen</a> of <a href="/wiki/Scandinavian_York" title="Scandinavian York">Scandinavian York</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Celtic_Britons" title="Celtic Britons">Celtic Britons</a> of the Kingdom of Ystrad Clud (Strathclyde).
