Editing Pryderi (section)

===Invasion of Gwynedd and Death===

Some time later, Pryderi receives a number of otherworldly pigs from his father's old ally, [[Arawn]], king of [[Annwn]], which are stolen through trickery by [[Gwydion]], a [[Gwynedd|Venedotian]] magician and warrior. Declaring war on Gwynedd, Pryderi and his men march north and fight a battle between Maenor Bennardd and Maenor Coed Alun. Both sides suffer heavy losses, but [[Math fab Mathonwy]], king of Gwynedd is victorious and Pryderi is forced to retreat. He is pursued to Nant Call, where more of his men are slaughtered, and then to Dol Benmaen, where he suffers a third defeat.

To avoid further bloodshed, it is agreed that the outcome of the battle should be decided by single combat between Gwydion and Pryderi. The two contenders meet at a place called ''Y Velen Rhyd'' in [[Ardudwy]], and "because of strength and valour and magic and enchantment", Gwydion triumphs and Pryderi is killed. The men of Dyfed retreat back to their own land, lamenting over the death of their lord.
