38 which he received from them, and reverses when he did not follow their counsel."

KYnon is also called one of the three ardent Lovers, on account of his passion for Morvyth, daughter of Urien Rheged, and sister of Owain, the Hero of this Tale.

"The three ardent lovers of the Island of Britain, Caswallawn the son of Beli for Flur the daughter of Mugnach Gorr, and Trjstan the son of Talluch for Yseult the wife of March Meirchawn hia uncle, and Kynon the son of Clydno Eiddin for Morvyth the daughter of Urien."

This warrior is mentioned by Aneurin, And Kynonlike rushes they fell before his hand.

O son of Clydno, a song of lasting praise will I sing unto thee."

And it is probable that he was one of the three, who, together with the Bard himself, escaped from the disastrous battle of Oattraeth.

The Warriors who went to Cattraeth were renowned;

Wine and Mead out of golden goblets was their beverage.

That year was to them one of exalted dignity.

Three warriors and three score and three hundred, wearing the golden torques.

Of those who marched forth after the excess of revelling,

But three escaped from the conflict of gashing weapons;

The two Wardogs of Aeron and Kynon the dauntless,

(And I myself from the spilling of blood) worthy are they of my song."

Gray has given a poetical version of this passage in his fragments, commencing with the words, "To Cattraeth's vale in glittering row." Also, in another poem by Aneurin, named the Gwarchan (or Incantation) of Cynvelyn, are the following lines:

Three Warriors and three score and three hundred.

To the conflict of Cattraeth went forth.

Of those who hastened from the banquet of mead,

Three only returned,

Kynon, and Kadreith, and Katlew of Catnant,

And I myself from the shedding of blood."

Kynon is frequently mentioned by the bards of the Middle Ages, and celebrated both for his bravery and for his devotion as a lover.
