Pellitus was a Spanish astrologer of the seventh century, who worked for Edwin of Northumbria, in the account given by Geoffrey of Monmouth.
Pellitus was engaged for Edwin's struggle against Cadwallon ap Cadfan.[1] After Pellitus was assassinated by Brian, nephew of Cadwallon,[2] military matters went much worse for Edwin, who was killed at the Battle of Heathfield, in 633.
