HUEIL
- Hueil
A son of Caw and brother of Gildas.
He was an opponent of Arthur who eventually had him executed. Their feud began when Arthur stabbed Gwydre, Hueil's nephew. In one tale, he and Arthur fought and Arthur was wounded in the knee. Arthur told Hueil he would not slay him, provided Hueil never mentioned the wound. Some time later Hueil forgot his promise and Arthur had him executed.
Another version of this story says that Arthur and Hueil, son of Kaw of Brydyn, fought over the favours of a lady. The were both wounded and went their separate ways, but Arthur always limped after this incident. Some years later they met again, and, even though Arthur was in disguise, Hueil recognised him by the limp. They fought again over the same lady. Arthur managed to throw Hueil against a large stone in Ruthin, Clwyd, and, drawing his sword, cut off his head.
- Hueil's Stone
The stone in Ruthin, Clwyd, on which Arthur was said to have beheaded Hueil.
