    • 1670, John Milton, “The Third Book”, in The History of Britain, that Part Especially now Call’d England. [], London: [] J[ohn] M[acock] for James Allestry, [] , OCLC 946735472, page 132:
      The last, but greatest of all in power, was Maglocune, and greatest also in wickedness; he had driv’n out or slain many other Kings, or Tyrants; and was called the Island Dragon, perhaps having his seat in Anglesey; a profuse giver, a great Warrior, and of a goodly stature.
    • 1911, Rupert Taylor, The Political Prophecy in England, page 45:
      If, as Skene suggested, Maglocune and Cuneglas are referred to in Poem XVII of the Red Book of Hergest as ‘The Dragon from Gwynedd’ and ‘The Bear from the South,’ the continuance of the epithets so late and the substitution of them for the names of the kings would strengthen the conclusion.
    • 1914, J. J. Alexander, “The Saxon Conquest of Devon”, in History, volume 3, number 3, page 161:
      About the year 547 there was an outbreak in Wales of the yellow plague, which carried off among others Maglocune, the king of North Wales specially reviled in the cursings of Gildas.
