Family
Gwyn is the son of Nudd (otherwise known as Lludd) and is consequently grandson to Beli Mawr. His siblings include Edern, a warrior who appears in a number of Arthurian texts, and Owain ap Nudd, who is mentioned briefly in Geraint and Enid. Gwyn's relationship with his sister (and lover) Creiddylad is described in Culhwch and Olwen. Through his father, Gwyn's uncles and aunts include Arianrhod, Llefelys, Penarddun, Afallach and Caswallawn. As a result, he is related both to the House of Llŷr (through his paternal aunt Penarddun) and to the House of Dôn, through his grandfather Beli.
