Robert,
You are astute. Wilson and Blackett landed just long enough from the back-side of Mars to translate "legate" to "Gwledig." That whole family scenario/pedigree was also used, in one form or another, by Barber and Pykitt, and maybe others, but with no connection to the Goths. I suppose a difinitve on "gwledig" could be pryed from Darrell Wolcott. But, as you point out, John Morris only claimed that "Theodoric, son of Theudebald" was Gothic, nothing about Theudebald as a gwledig.
