An ancient Myth &
Legend . . . . . .
Great Queen Rhiannon,
Cymric, Brythonic and a Triple Goddess.
Upon the night of the
birth, women are brought to look after mother and son,
but fall asleep; when they awake the boy is gone.
Fearing
for their lives they fetch cubs from a stag-hound bitch,
kill them, and
smear the blood on bed clothes and Rhiannon's face and
hands.
Rhiannon
awakes and they accuse her of killing and devouring her
own son like a
creature of the night, though of course she protests her
innocence.
The tale spreads
through the land and the nobles beseech Pwyll to put his
wife away . . . . . . . .
