MENW
Menw fab Teirgwaedd
The son of Teirgwaedd, a sorcerer who appears in the Mabinogion story of Culhwch and Olwen as a member of the party chosen to help Culhwch locate the maiden Olwen. Each member of the party was chosen for his particular skills, and Menw fab Teirgwaedd was chosen for his mastery of magic, which would preserve the party in foreign and heathen lands because he could render them invisible.
The other members of the party were Cei (Kay), Cynddylig the Guide, Gwrhyr the Interpreter, Gwalchmai fab Gwyar and Bedwyr (Bedivere).
