Beth Gellert

In a time of mist-veiled mountains and solemn oaths, Prince Llewelyn of Gwynedd cherished a greyhound named Gellert, gifted by King John himself. A beast fierce in the hunt yet gentle at hearth. But one fateful day, when horn and call went unanswered, Llewelyn returned home to bloodstained silence and a heart gripped by dread. What followed was a tragic mistake, a sword’s swift judgment, and a loyalty revealed too late. This is the sorrowful tale of Gellert, the faithful hound who gave all to protect, only to be mourned beneath the shadow of Snowdon, where his name and sacrifice live on in stone and story.
