Dagread was a poor solution for this because in Genealogies which are the source for most of this info it is said that the only realm with whom Vestibor had good relations was Kaedwen, not to mention that if Dagread was grandfather of Ellen he would have lived in the first half of 12th century not in the middle of 11th. Way I solved this in my headcanon is by having two Bendas. One with a very long reign in 11th and early 12th century and another more famous one in later part of 12th century. Essentialy Kaedweni dynasty goes Viduka- Radovit I (it would make sense for Viduka to name his son after his liege lord if he was born before he rebelled or if he had lofty aspirations)-Benda I- Dagread -Benda II- Radovit II- Henselt (with at least one instance of grandson inheriting grandfather). If you'd really want a Kaedweni involved into this you could make either Radovit I or Benda I as leaders. However if Sapkowski meant to make Kaedwen belligerent in this war he would have outright wrote it. If you think about it Kaedwen at this time would probably be preocuppied with Uprising of Aelirenn and them being allies with Redania instead of enemies would make more sense.
