LLUD

The father of Gwynn ap Nudd and brother of Llefelys and Nynniaw, he is the equivalent of the Irish Lugh. He is of great mythical importance for, along with his brother, he appears in a legend concerning three 'plagues' that infected England.

One of these was a scream, heard every May Day eve, whose source could not be located. Llefelys told Lludd that the scream came from two dragons battling for supremacy. These dragons were finally captured in an underground chamber, a plan devised by Llefelys, and subsequently imprisoned beneath Dinas Emrys in Wales.

A direct comparison can be made between this tale and that concerning the dragons found in an underground lake, as foretold by Myrddin, on the site where Vortigern was attempting, without success, to erect his tower. It seems safe to assume that these were the same dragons.
