5. War

As war between Wales and Ireland breaks out, Pryderi, Prince of Dyfed, joins the fleet from the Kingdom of Gwynedd to rescue Princess Branwen. The ships are led by the giant King Bran the Blessed, who wades across the Irish Sea. From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Fifth episode of the fantasy podcast series, based on the ancient myths of Wales. The tales of the Mabinogi are tales of romance, tragedy, comedy and fantasy and together they form the earliest prose stories of Britain.
