[Ansteorra] History and dogs

[Carolyn Young]

And don't forget Gelert.
1210 AD an Irish hound was sent as a gift to Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, by
Prince (later King) John of England, which hound was probably Gelert, slain
by Llewellyn under the misapprehension that the hound had killed his baby
son. Gelert's burial place gave its name to a town Beddgelert (grave of
Gelert).
