| ENT_WEL_BRAN | SRC_MABINOGION | direct attestation | Second Branch (Branwen ferch Llŷr): Bran is the narrative's dominant figure; he gives the Cauldron of Rebirth to Matholwch; leads the invasion of Ireland; is mortally wounded by the poisoned spear of Llassar; commands his head to be carried to Gwales for 87 years of speaking/feasting; the text is the primary source for the Welsh sacred-head tradition and the divine giant-king figure |
