In The Novel
The Isle of Mona is the setting for The Castle of Llyr. The Isle of Mona is the realm of the House of Rhuddlum, ruled by King Rhuddlum and Queen Teleria. The capital and royal palace are located in Dinas Rhydant, a coastal city surrounding the island's main port, Mona Haven.
Eilonwy is sent to Dinas Rhydant to be schooled in the ways of being a lady and a princess. Soon after arriving, Eilonwy (who by title is the Princess of Llyr) is kidnapped by Achren and taken to the ruins of Eilonwy's ancestral home, Caer Colur. Taran and the companions, accompanied by the feckless Prince Rhun, search the island to find the princess.
Later, in the fifth novel, The High King, it is learned that King Rhuddlum has died. The kingdom is inherited by his son, Prince Rhun. When Rhun is killed in battle, Taran vows to finish Rhun's pet project of a seawall to protect his homeland's harbor.

Famous quotes containing the word the:
“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is “Who in the world am I?” Ah, that’s the great puzzle!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
