KILHWCH. Arthurian.
A cousin of Arthur's. Pronounced
Kilhooch. A name from the Mabinogion story of "Kilhwch
and Olwen," meaning "pig-sty." (Knightly Legends of Wales, Lanier, 1920; and, Pembrokeshire
Antiquities,
1897)
Kilydd the
son of Prince Kelyddon desired a wife as a helpmate, and the wife that
he chose was Goleuddydd, the daughter of Prince Anlawdd. And after
their union, the people put up prayers that they might have an
heir. And they had a son through the prayers of the people.
From the time of her pregnancy Goleuddydd became wild, and wandered
about, without habitation; but when her delivery was at hand, her reason
came back to her. Then she went to a mountain where there was a
swineherd, keeping a herd of swine. And through fear of the swine
the queen was delivered. And the swineherd took the boy, and
brought him to the palace; and he was christened, and they called him
Kilhwch, because he had been found in a swine's burrow.
Nevertheless the boy was of gentle lineage, and cousin unto Arthur; and
they put him out to nurse. (Mabinogion, Guest, 1910)
