Marganus

Margan

One of the nephews of Cordelia, the other being Cunedagius (Cunedag).

Following the death of Leir, Cordelia reigned in peace for five years. However, her nephews, having by that time inherited their fathers’ kingdoms, resented female rule, so rose up against her and took her prisoner. Cordelia took her own life.

Marganus and his brother divided the kingdom between them, but the peace lasted only two years before Marganus tried to overturn his brother. His attempt was unsuccessful, because he was killed by his brother, who went on to rule for thirty-three years as the sole monarch.
