– Rachel Bromwich begins her encyclopaedic entry discussing this Cadwaladr in her edition of Trioedd Ynys Prydein with the name Katwaladyr Ỽendigeit, i.e. the Middle Welsh form of Cadwaladr Fendigaid (p. 298). The page Cadwaladr should then rather redirect to Cadwaladr (name) as it is not at all an uncommon name in medieval Wales, see, e.g. Cadwaladr ap Gruffudd.

Red Dragon of Cadwaladr
There is no evidence of The Red Dragon flown by Henry Tudor being called "The Red Dragon of Cadwaladr" until 1718 in Alexander Nisbet's "An Essay on the Ancient and Modern use of Armories",so I think the Dragon shouldn't be referred to as such in the Article without a Footnote or something like that.

- Just because that is what is said in a YouTube video does not mean it is true: See here, p. 36: The first time a dragon is connected with Cadwalader seems to be in a sixteenth-century book of banners and badges where Le Roy Cadwalader is represented by his customary arms supported by a dragon, or and gules, with wings expanded.
