In the old time, the magician Gwydion made a bride out of flowers for his nephew, Lleu. Blodeuwedd was beautiful, beautiful. Yet she fell in love, not with Lleu, but with his mortal neighbour, Gronw Pebyr. Her mystical, magical marriage shattered, Blodeuwedd plotted with Gronw to kill Lleu. But before he died, Lleu's soul was transformed into an eagle and eventually he returned to kill Gronw, with the very same spear Gronw used to kill him. The magician Gwydion cursed Blodeuwedd, turning her into an owl, a huntress, and a bird to which no other bird will come close.
