The First Branch of the Mabinogi, Part 2: Depressing Baby Names


Listen Later

We return to the adventures of Pwyll and Rhiannon: how their firstborn child mysteriously disappeared, Rhiannon got framed for it, and a random nobleman eventually worked out that his mysterious foundling might be Pwyll's kid.


WARNINGS. Animal cruelty, gaslighting, innocent people getting punished, weird punishments: When the baby goes missing, the women who were supposed to be watching him and Rhiannon decide to kill a puppy and make it look like Rhiannon ate the baby. They insist to Rhiannon that she DID kill the child, and frame her for the crime. Rhiannon is punished by being made to tell the story to strangers over and over again, and carry them on her back.
