XIX POWELL, PRINCE OF DYFED One of the oldest of the Welsh fairy tales tells us about Pwyle, King of Fairyland and father of the numerous clan of the Powells. He was a mighty hunter. He could ride a horse, draw a bow, and speak the truth. TH POWELL THE PRINCE OF DIIPHED ONE OF THE OLDEST OF THE WELSH FAIRY TALES TELLS US OF PULL KING OF FAIRYLAND AND THE FATHER OF THE NUMEROUS CLAN OF THE PALLS HE WAS A MIGHTY HUNTER HE COULD RIDE A HORSE DRAW A BOW AND SPEAK THE TRUTH
 was a cub. By this time, the penance of the naughty nephews was over, and they were now to be delivered from all magic spells. So their human nature was restored to them, but they must be washed thoroughly. In the first place, it took much hot water and lye, made from the wood ashes, and then a great deal of scrubbing, to make them presentable. Then they were anointed with sweet smelling oil, and the king ordered them to be arrayed in elegant apparel. They were appointed to hold honorable office at court, and from time to time to go out through the country, to call the officers to attend to public business. When the time came that the king sought for one of the most beautiful maidens, who should hold his feet, Gwyd nominated to the prince's notice his sister Arianrod. The king was gracious, and thereafter she held his feet at all the banquets. She was looked up to with reverence by all, and held the office for many years. Thus King Math's reputation for grace and mercy was confirmed.
