In this tale, Branwen is introduced as the sister of Manawyddan, the king of all Britain, and as the “fairest maid in the world.”

Branwen obeyed, and succeeded so well, that old Beniah commended her on her aptitude to learn.

The princess remained speechless, for her friend Branwen stood before her.

It was soon after this that Branwen found out the misfortune of ignorance and want of experience.

If Branwen should be found, she was to be sent back escorted by a detachment of a hundred men.
