I am reposting this, because i made a hash of my initial post, forgetting to provide links, and it is being completely obfuscated. But it clearly explains how the Norse, were also mixed with the Welsh
The Druids were Celtic peoples
They were also "Pagans", though they did first self identify as Christian, before going full on Catholic
King Cnut is a fine example
Also there was no such country as Wales, in the post-roman period, it was Cymry
Now Offas Dyke, is makes up the border of Wales and England
It is named after King Offa
Who is from House of Incligas
Which Pagan mythology has it, was descended from house of Woden
And woden, is the mythological house of Odin, in Norse mythology
Now Norse-Gaels, were people that first arrived in Scotland
Now, the "GODODDIN" as the Norse Gaels became known, went from Scotland, mainly Lothian region, to Cymry, and they established some of the finest "welsh" poems, known to this day

The Norse–Gaels (Old Irish: Gall-Goídil; Irish: Gall-Ghaeil; Scottish Gaelic: Gall-Ghàidheil, 'foreigner-Gaels') were a people of mixed Gaelic and Norse ancestry and culture. They emerged in the Viking Age, when Vikings who settled in Ireland and in Scotland adopted Gaelic culture and intermarried with Gaels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse%E2%80%93Gaels

The Gododdin (Welsh pronunciation: [ɡɔˈdɔðin]) were a P-Celtic-speaking Brittonic people of north-eastern Britannia, the area known as the Hen Ogledd or Old North (modern south-east Scotland and north-east England), in the sub-Roman period. Descendants of the Votadini, they are best known as the subject of the 6th-century Welsh poem Y Gododdin, which memorialises the Battle of Catraeth and is attributed to Aneirin.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gododdin
The name Gododdin is the Modern Welsh form, but the name appeared in Old Welsh as Guotodin and derived from the tribal name Votadini recorded in Classical sources, such as in Greek texts from the Roman period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gododdin
