they became as dust. Then Owain ordered Gwres the son of Rheged to
lower his banner. So it was lowered, and all was peace.

Then Rhonabwy inquired of Iddawc who were the first three men that
came to Owain, to tell him his Ravens were being slain. Said Iddawc,
"They were men who grieved that Owain should suffer loss, his fellow-
chieftains and companions, Selyv the son of Kynan Garwyn of Powys,
and Gwgawn Gleddyvrudd, and Gwres the son of Rheged, he who bears the
banner in the day of battle and strife." "Who," said Rhonabwy, "were
the last three men who came to Arthur, and told him that the Ravens
were slaughtering his men?" "The best of men," said Iddawc, "and the
bravest, and who would grieve exceedingly that Arthur should have
damage in aught; Blathaon the son of Mawrheth, and Rhuvawn Pebyr the
son of Prince Deorthach, and Hyveidd Unllenn."

And with that behold four-and-twenty knights came from Osla
Gyllellvawr, to crave a truce of Arthur for a fortnight and a month.
And Arthur rose and went to take counsel. And he came to where a
tall, auburn, curly-headed man was a little way off, and there he
assembled his counsellors. Bedwini, the Bishop, and Gwarthegyd the
son of Kaw, and March the son of Meirchawn, and Caradawc Vreichvras,
and Gwalchmai the son of Gwyar, and Edeyrn the son of Nudd, and
Rhuvawn Pebyr the son of Prince Deorthach, and Rhiogan the son of the
King of Ireland, and Gwenwynwyn the son of Nav, Howel the son of Emyr
Llydaw, Gwilym the son of Rhwyf Freinc, and Daned the son of Ath, and
Goreu Custennin, and Mabon the son of Modron, and Peredur Paladyr
Hir, and Hyveidd Unllenn, and Twrch the son of Perif, and Nerth the
son of Kadarn, and Gobrwy the son of Echel Vorddwyttwll, Gwair the
son of Gwestyl, and Gadwy the son of Geraint, Trystan the son of
Tallwch, Moryen Manawc, Granwen the son of Llyr, and Llacheu the son
