The Rhai Gwenwynig
Ancient Pontyddim legend tells of King Drunwen’s kingdom which was plagued by the Rhai Gwenwynig, a demonic people whose screams turned people to stone. Drunwen meets the Rhai Gwenwynig and makes them drunk on mead, it is said their revels were so loud they turned themselves to stone.
