The Four Branches of the Mabinogion
(click green links for Welsh pronunciation soundclips)
The 'Mabinogion' is a classic collection of Welsh myths, legends and fantasies mixed with history. First written down around 900 years ago, they are stories of the trials and tribulations of ancient kings and warriors of the British Isles.
At the core of the Mabinogion lie the 'Four Branches'. These particular tales were
the inspiration for 'Rhiannon -
They tell also of Pryderi and Rhiannon's feud with the evil wizard Llwyd Cil Coed. This began with Llwyd's humiliation at Pryderi's hand and ended with Llwyd being forced to swear that he would not take revenge during Pryderi's lifetime.
But he made no such promise about what would happen after their deaths.
