of Eri, and Glinneu the son of Taran and Gwrgwst Ledlwm, and Dynvarth
{105} his son. And he captured Penn the son of Nethawg, and Nwython, and
Kyledyr Wyllt his son. And they slew Nwython, and took out his heart,
and constrained Kyledyr to eat the heart of his father. And therefrom
Kyledyr became mad. When Arthur heard of this, he went to the North, and
summoned Gwyn ap Nudd before him, and set free the nobles whom he had put
in prison, and made peace between Gwyn ap Nudd and Gwythyr the son of
Greidawl. And this was the peace that was made: that the maiden should
remain in her father's house, without advantage to either of them, and
that Gwyn ap Nudd and Gwythyr the son of Greidawl should fight for her
every first of May, from thenceforth until the day of doom, and that
whichever of them should then be conqueror should have the maiden.
And when Arthur had thus reconciled these chieftains, he obtained Mygdwn,
Gweddw's horse, and the leash of Cwrs Cant Ewin.
And after that Arthur went into Armorica, and with him Mabon the son of
Mellt, and Gware Gwallt Euryn, to seek the two dogs of Glythmyr Ledewic.
And when he had got them, he went to the West of Ireland, in search of
Gwrgi Severi; and Odgar the son of Aedd, king of Ireland, went with him.
And thence went Arthur into the North, and captured Kyledyr Wyllt; and he
went after Yskithyrwyn Penbaedd. And Mabon the son of Mellt came with
the two dogs of Glythmyr Ledewic in his hand, and Drudwyn, the cub of
Greid the son of Eri. And Arthur went himself to the chase, leading his
own dog Cavall. And Kaw, of North Britain, mounted Arthur's mare
Llamrei, and was first in the attack. Then Kaw, of North Britain,
wielded a mighty axe, and absolutely daring he came valiantly up to the
Boar, and clave his head in twain. And Kaw took away the tusk. Now the
Boar was not slain by the dogs that Yspaddaden had mentioned, but by
Cavall, Arthur's own dog.
And after Yskithyrwyn Penbaedd was killed, Arthur and his host departed
to Gelli Wic in Cornwall. And thence he sent Menw the son of Teirgwaedd
to see if the precious things were between the two ears of Twrch Trwyth,
since it were useless to encounter him if they were not there. Albeit it
was certain where he was, for he had laid waste the third part of
Ireland. And Menw went to seek for him, and he met with him in Ireland,
in Esgeir Oervel. And Menw took the form of a bird; and he descended
upon the top of his lair, and s
