Llawfrodedd Farfog or Llawfrodedd Farchog (Middle Welsh) is a hero of Welsh tradition. The meaning of the personal name ''Llawfrodedd'' is uncertain, the epithets ''Farfog'' (''barfog'') and ''Farchog'' (''marchog'') mean "bearded" and "horseman" respectively. He is mentioned in Trioedd Ynys Prydein as the owner of one of the Three Prominent Cows of the Island of Britain, i.e. Cornillo ('little horn' perhaps). "The knife of Llawfrodedd, which would serve for twenty-four to eat at table" is named as one of the Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain. Llawfrodedd is a hero of Arthur's court in the tales of ''Culhwch and Olwen'' and ''Breuddwyd Rhonabwy''. Several examples of the word 'Llawfrodedd' are found in the work of the medieval ''Gogynfeirdd'' poets, but it is not clear if it occurs as a proper name. The evidence suggests that Llawfrodedd may have been one of 'Men of the North', but this can not be proven. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llawfrodedd Farfog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
