Rhygenydd


A cleric whose crock and dish are counted among the Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain.

A Welsh text called the Thirteen Treasures of the Isle of Britain, names one of the treasures as a dysgl, or dish, owned by Rhygenydd. It was said to provide food and drink to Rhygenydd’s company and has been seen by some scholars as the origin of the Grail.
