The Mabinogion is a collection of prose stories from medieval Welsh literature. Compiled in the 12th to 13th centuries, these tales originate from earlier oral traditions. The stories of the Mabinogion are deeply rooted in Celtic mythology and culture.

The Welsh story recounts how King Lludd, aided by his brother Llevelys, confronted Britain’s “Three Plagues,” including disappearing provisions from the royal court and a terrifying recurring scream.

Lludd battles the knight responsible for the stolen provisions, while the scream was revealed to be two dragons in combat, one red, one white. Following his brother’s guidance, Lludd traps the dragons in a mead-filled cauldron at Dinas Emrys in north-west Wales.

Some say this is the original story for our iconic symbol of Wales, the Red Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch.
