Kilydd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kilydd, in the Middle Welsh prose tale Culhwch and Olwen included in the Mabinogion, is the son of Prince Kelyddon, husband to Goleuddydd, and the father of the hero Culhwch. When Goleuddydd dies after giving birth to Culhwch, Kilydd hears about another woman, the wife of King Doged. Kilydd slays Doged and procures his lands and family, marrying the widow, who becomes Culhwch's hated stepmother.
