Kaw, and Hueil the son of Kaw, (he never yet made a
request at the hand of any Lord). And Samson Vinsych, and Taliesin the
chief of the bards, and Mamawyddan the son of Llyr, and Llary the son of
Prince Kasnar, and Ysperni {72a} the son of Fflergant king of Armorica,
and Saranhon the son of Glythwyr, and Llawr Eilerw, and Annyanniawc the
son of Menw the son of Teirgwaedd, and Gwynn the son of Nwyvre, and Fflam
the son of Nwyvre, and Geraint the son of Erbin, and Ermid {72b} the son
of Erbin, and Dyvel the son of Erbin, and Gwynn the son of Ermid, and
Kyndrwyn the son of Ermid, and Hyveidd Unllenn, and Eiddon Vawr Vrydic,
and Reidwn Arwy, and Gormant the son of Ricca (Arthur's brother by his
mother's side; the Penhynev of Cornwall was his father), and Llawnrodded
Varvawc, and Nodawl Varyf Twrch, and Berth the son of Kado, and Rheidwn
the son of Beli, and Iscovan Hael, and Iscawin the son of Panon, and
Morvran the son of Tegid (no one struck him in the battle of Camlan by

son of Erim, and Sgilti Yscawndroed son of Erim. (Unto these three men

grass bent not beneath his feet, much less did one ever break, so lightly
