Name of wife
The article currently offers "Gwenaby" as the name of Llwyd's wife even though the story, as far as I can find, only exists in the Mabinogion, which is readily available online and never names the wife. The only source that doesn't quote Wikipedia verbatim is an opera written in 2008 by a composer in the UK named Mark Bowden. The name Gwenaby first appears in this Wiki article in an edit from 2008 by an IP address registered in the UK (79.74.159.207). This seems like sufficient evidence of self-promotion and/or vandalism, and should probably be deleted. At most this info should be moved to a "Trivia" or "In popular culture" section, as is customary on other pages. Quixilver391 (talk) 23:11, 9 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Gwenabwy is indicated as the mother of Gwydre, who is in turn indicated as the son of Llwyddeu (usually considered to be synonymous with Llwyd ap Cil Coed), in the text of Culhwch and Olwen. While not a definitive reference that Gwenabwy was the pregnant wife referred to, it does lend support to the idea. It could definitely do with clarification in any case.
 * Note also that the original Old Welsh appears to have her name as 'Wenabwy' - usually that appears to be transliterated as Gwenabwy in modern texts, I don't know the validity of transliterating it as Gwenaby. 96.22.193.210 (talk) 22:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
