One day, with the boy riding on his colt, and with two knights keeping him company, the owner of the Co ed mare came near the castle of Narberth. There they saw the beautiful Rhiannon sitting on the horse block at the gate. ONE DAY WITH THE BOY RIDING ON HIS COAT AND WITH TWO KNIGHTS KEEPING COMPANY THE OWNER OF THE COAD MAYOR CAME INTO THE CASTLE OF NARBETH THERE THEY SAW A BEAUTIFUL RHIANNON SITTING ON THE HORSE BLOCK AT THE GATE
se duty it was to attend to the Queen, and guard her child, were lazy and had neglected their duty. They were asleep when the baby was stolen away. To excuse themselves and be saved from punishment, they invented a lying story. They declared that Rhiannon had devoured the child, her own baby. The wise men of the Court believed the story which the six wicked women had told, and Rhiannon, the Queen, though innocent, was condemned to do penance. She was to serve as a porter to carry visitors and their baggage from out doors into the castle. Every day, for many months, through the hours of daylight, she stood in public disgrace in front of the castle of Narberth, at the stone block, on which riders on horses dismounted from the saddle. When anyone got off at the gate, she had to carry him or her on her back into the hall. As the boy grew up, his foster father scanned his features closely, and it was not long before he made up his mind that Powell was his father and Rhiannon was his mother.
