LLYR. Welsh
form of Irish Lir (q.v.), English Lear
(q.v.), meaning "sea."
Wales shows
in the Isle of Anglesea a cromlech, called the tomb of Bronwen,
daughter of King Llyr or Leirus. The tomb was opened in 1813, and
an ancient urn, once probably containing ashes, was found there.
It seems that a somewhat more substantial Llyr lived about the time of
the Roman conquest, and was the father of Bronwen, who married the king
of Ireland, was ill-treated by him, and received a box on the ear, which
was one of the three fatal insults of the Isle of Britain... (History
of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
