‘Sure-hoofed is my steed impelled by the spur;
The high springs of alder on thy shield;
Bran thou art called, of the glittering branches.’
Cad Goddeu (Battle of the Trees), a Welsh riddle poem from the Book of Taliesin. The Bran mentioned is Bendigeidfran. #FolkloreThursday
Branwen, a character within the Mabinogion, is trapped and essentially held prisoner by her husband in a tower. Instead of sitting idly by, she trains a starling to carry a message across the Irish Sea to her brother, Bendigeidfran, the giant king of Britain. #FolkloreThursday
