attendants upon Glewlwyd Gavaelvawr, so that Heaven knows he had not
an attendant remaining, excepting only Llaesgevyn, a man from whom no
one ever derived any good. And together with these he slew many of
the men of that country, and Gwlydyn Saer, Arthur's chief Architect.

son of Teithyon, and Gwyn the son of Tringad, the son of Neved, and

another stand, and where he slew Kyflas the son of Kynan, and
Gwilenhin king of France. Then he went as far as Glyn Ystu, and
there the men and the dogs lost him.

swine, Gwys was his name. After that he went on to Dyffryn Amanw,
