UCHTRYD. Arthurian.
Welsh. Uchtryd Ardywad Kad, and Uchtryd Varyf Draws, are among
the more than 200 warriors and attendants of Arthur named by Kilhwch in
the story of Kilhwch and Olwen. The name is formed from
British uch "above" and drud "stout."
UCHTRYD (n. pr. v.); hence
Hafod Uchtryd in Cardiganshire. Cwmmwd Mab Uchtryd in Cantref Mawr,
Caermarthenshire. (Price, Descr.) Camden makes Uchtryd
a German name, signifying high counsel; but it is British, formed from uch,
above, and drud, stout. (Celtic Remains, Morris, 1878).
... "I am Kilhwch, the son
of Kilydd, the son of Prince Kelyddon, by Goleuddydd, my mother, the
daughter of Prince Anlawdd." "That is true," said
Arthur, "Thou art my cousin. Whatsoever boon thou mayest ask,
thou shalt receive, be it what it may that thy tongue shall
name." "Pledge the truth of Heaven and the faith of thy
kingdom thereof." "I pledge it thee, gladly."
"I crave of thee then, that thou obtain for me Olwen, the daughter
of Yspaddaden Penkawr, and this boon I likewise seek at the hands of thy
warriors. I seek it from Kai, and Bedwyr, and Greidawl Galldonyd,
and Gwythyr the son of Greidawl, and Greid the son of Eri,... and
Uchtryd Ardywad Kad, and Kynwas Curvagyl,... And Hir Eiddyl, and Hir
Amreu, (they were two attendants of Arthur.) And Gwevyl the son of
Gwestad, (on the day that he was sad, he would let one of his lips drop
below his waist, while he turned up the other like a cap upon his
head.) Uchtryd Varyf Draws, (who spread his red untrimmed beard
over the eight and forty rafters which were in Arthur's Hall.)... (Mabinogion,
Guest, 1910)
