GOREU. Arthurian.
A son of Custennin. The word is Welsh, and means "best, chief." (A Dictionary of the Welsh Language,
Pughe, 1832). In "Kilwich
and Olwen," Goreu cuts off the head of the giant Yspaddaden.
... and Arthur called the
attendants, who guarded his couch. And these were four pages,
whose names were Cadyrnerth the son of Porthawr Gandwy, and Ambreu the
son of Bedwor, and Amhar the son of Arthur, and Goreu the son of
Custennin...
... Then Kilhwch set forward, and Goreu the son of
Custennin with him, and as many as wished ill to Yspaddaden Penkawr.
And they took the marvels with them to his court. And Kaw of North
Britain came and shaved his beard, skin, and flesh clean off to the very
bone from ear to ear. "Art thou shaved, man?" said
Kilhwch. "I am shaved," answered he. "Is thy
daughter mine now?" "She is thine," said he,
"but therefore needest thou not thank me, but Arthur who hath
accomplished this for thee. By my free will thou shouldest never
have had her, for with her I lose my life." Then Goreu the
son of Custennin seized him by the hair of his head, and dragged him
after him to the keep, and cut off his head and placed it on a stake on
the citadel. Then they took possession of his castle, and of his
treasures. (Mabinogion, Guest, 1910)
