Caernarfonshire, Beddgelert - Llewellyn
Hotel in the 1890's.
Beddgelert - Bedd meaning grave, and Gelert the name of a hound.
The legend tells of Prince Llewellyn, who left his baby at home
in the care of Gelert - his faithful hound. When Llewellyn returned,
the baby and his cot were nowhere to be seen, and Gelert the hound
was covered in blood. In a rage, Prince Llewellyn took out his
sword,
and with
one mighty blow slayed Gelert. A baby's cry broke the ensuing silence,
and Llewellyn ran to the place, to find his baby safe in his cot,
and beside him a large wolf - dead.
Realising that Gelert had fought the wolf and killed it to save
his son, Llewellyn was distraught, and carried the body of Gelert
to a sweet meadow, burying him under a tree, and placing a boulder
as a marker. This grave may be visited today.
