Llud and Llefelys Summary

Llud rules Britain while Llefelys becomes king of France by marrying the French princess.

Three plagues strike Britain. The first is the Coranieid, who hear all secrets spoken on the wind. The second is a scream every May Eve that strikes animals and plants barren. The third is the disappearance of all food in the king's courts.
