Guithelin was a legendary king of the Britons as accounted by Geoffrey of Monmouth. He became king after the death of Gurguit Barbtruc[http://www.monarchie-noblesse.net/angleterre/bretons/bretons.htm Monarchie Nobelesse website, Bretons] and reigned approximately 379 BC.

He ruled liberally and temperately for his life. His Queen consort was an artisan and noblewoman named Marcia; when he died, his wife took over the government as regent for their son, Sisillius II.[https://sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/gem/gem04.htm Sacred Texts website, Histories of the Kings of Britain (Book III), by Geoffry of Monmouth, tr. by Sebastian Evans, (1904)]
