Three Faithless War-Bands of the Island of Britain


The war-band of Goronwy the Radiant of Penllyn, who refused to receive the poisoned spear from Lleu Skilful-Hand on behalf of their lord, at the Stone of Goronwy, at the head of Cynfal; the second warband was that of Gwrgi and Peredur, who abandoned their lord at Caer Greu, when they had an appointment to fight the next day with Eda Great-Knee; and there they were both slain. And the war-band of Alan Fyrgan, who turned away from him by night, and let him go with his servants to Camlann. And there he was slain.
