noun

, Welsh Legend.

the son of Pwyll and Rhiannon who was stolen by Gwawl shortly after his birth and was restored to his parents a few years later.

Hearing of his coming, King Math went out to meet Pryderi in battle.

O generous Nest, thou liest in thy safe retreat, I am pensive and melancholy like Pryderi.

Very sorrowful was Manawyddan, but Pryderi was stout of heart, and bade him be of good cheer, as he knew a way out of his trouble.

And Manawyddan found that Pryderi had spoken the truth concerning his mother, and asked if she would take him for her husband.

Still, since she was caught, I will restore thee Pryderi and Rhiannon, and will take the charm from off thy lands.
