GWENHWYFACH. Arthurian.
The same as Welsh Gwenhwyvach
(q.v.), a name said to imply "high lady." (Britannia Antiqua, Poste,
1857)
Gwenhwyfach
or Gwenhwyach, the wife of Medrawt ap Llew ap Cynfarch. A quarrel
about two nuts (says Tudur Aled) between Gwenhwyfar (verch Ogyrfan Gawr),
King Arthur's Queen, and this Gwenhwyfach (Tr. 47) gave Medrawd a colour
of dethroning Gwenhwyfar (Tr. 46), King Arthur having left him
lieutenant of Britain while he followed his Gaulish conquest. (Tr.
90.) This quarrel or palfawd (i.e., a box in the ear) about
two nuts was the occasion of the civil war between King Arthur and Medrawd, and both were killed at Cad Gamlan. (Tr. 47.) (Celtic
Remains,
Morris-Evans, 1878)
