Gwrfoddu Hên

Gwrbothu Hên, Gwrfoddhu, Gwrfoddu the Old, Gwrfoddw, Gwrvoddw

Brother of Eigyr (Igraine), thus maternal uncle of Arthur, and one of Arthur’s warriors in Culhwch.

He was killed by the piglet Llwydawg the Killer at the battle of Ystrad Yw.

A king by the name Gwrfoddw (610-615) were probably used as a base for this character.
