===Return to Britain=== [[File:Pryderi and Rhiannon.jpg|250px|thumb|Pryderi and Rhiannon's imprisonment. From ''Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic'', Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Image by Albert Herter.]] Pryderi invites [[Manawydan]], Bendigeidfran's brother and a fellow survivor, to live with him in [[Kingdom of Dyfed|Dyfed]], arranging for him to marry his widowed mother [[Rhiannon]]. Soon after, Pryderi, Cigfa, Manawydan and Rhiannon ascend a magical hill and, when they descend, Dyfed had turned into a barren wasteland with no inhabitants. Pryderi and Manawydan travel to England to make a living from various trades, but were forced to leave one town after another to avoid conflicts with other tradesmen who resented their superior skills. Returning to Dyfed, Manaywdan and Pryderi go hunting and, coming across a white [[boar]], follow it to a huge, towering fort. Against Manawydan's advice, Pryderi enters the fort and is drawn towards a beautiful golden bowl. Upon touching the bowl, his feet stick to the floor, his hands stick to the bowl and he loses the power of speech. Manawydan waits in vain for his return before giving news of his disappearance to Rhiannon. Chiding her husband for his poor companionship, Rhiannon too enters the fort and suffers the same fate as her son. In a "blanket of mist", Pryderi, Rhiannon and the fort itself, vanish. Some time later, Manawydan's cunning frees them from their imprisonment. It is revealed that the catalyst of their suffering was the enchanter [[Llwyd ap Cil Coed]], who sought revenge for the humiliation of his friend [[Gwawl|Gwawl ap Clud]] at the hands of [[Pwyll]] and [[Rhiannon]]. The enchantement over Dyfed is lifted.
