"‘I stand in need of counsel,’ he answered, ‘and what may that counsel be?’ ‘Seven Cantrevs remain unto me,’ said Pryderi, ‘wherein Rhiannon my mother dwells. I will bestow her upon thee and the seven Cantrevs with her, and though thou hadst no possessions but those Cantrevs only, thou couldst not have seven Cantrevs fairer than they. Kicva, the daughter of Gwynn Gloyw, is my wife, and since the inheritance of the Cantrevs belongs to me, do thou and Rhiannon enjoy them, and if thou ever desire any possessions thou wilt take these.’" - from Manawyddan Son of Llyr in The Mabinogion by Lady Charlotte Guest (1877) #mabinogi #mabinogion #wales #welsh #caltic #pagan #pryderi #rhiannon #cantrev
