Gwern


Gwern is a character in the Second Branch of the Mabinogi, the tale of Branwen ferch Llŷr, (A collection of prose stories from medieval Welsh manuscripts).

History


His Welsh mother is not popular with the Irish people, leading her husband Matholwch to mistreat her; she sends for her brother Bran the Blessed for help. He comes to the rescue, and to avoid war Matholwch offers to step down as king in favor of Gwern. At the feast celebrating the boy's investiture, Gwern is killed when his uncle Efnisien throws him into the fire, and a devastating war breaks out that kills all of Ireland save five pregnant women, and all of the British army save seven warriors.
