Editing Teyrnon (section)

==Role==
A [[son]] is born in [[Narberth, Pembrokeshire|Arberth]] to [[Pwyll]], Lord of [[Dyfed]], and [[Rhiannon]], daughter of Hyfaidd Hen. On the night of his birth, the child disappears while in the care of six of Rhiannon's ladies-in-waiting. To avoid the king's wrath, they smear dog's blood onto a sleeping Rhiannon, claiming that she had committed [[infanticide]] and [[Human cannibalism|cannibalism]] through eating her child. 

Teyrnon, meanwhile, owns a mare who gives birth each year but whose foals have all disappeared. He guards his stables and sees a mysterious clawed beast coming to take the foal; Teyrnon cuts off the beast's arm and finds the child outside the stable. He and his wife claim the boy as their own and name him Gwri Wallt Euryn (English: ''Gwri of the Golden hair''), for "all the hair was as yellow as gold."<ref name="The Mabinogion 2005">''The Mabinogion.''

The child grows to adulthood at a superhuman pace and, as he matures, his likeness to Pwyll grows more obvious and, eventually, Teyrnon realises Gwri's true identity. The boy is eventually reconciled with Pwyll and Rhiannon and is renamed ''Pryderi''. From then on, he was fostered by Pendaran Dyfed and was "brought up carefully, as was proper, until he was the most handsome lad, and the fairest, and the most accomplished at every worthy feat in the kingdom."<ref name="The Mabinogion 2005"/> 

Pwyll agrees to maintain both Teyrnon and his lands until the day he dies in gratitude. Teyrnon and his wife return to [[Kingdom of Gwent|Gwent]], amidst "gladness and rejoicing". He is offered many fine treasures but refuses them.
