That was told to Gronw. ÔMy trusty war-band, is there one of you will take the blow in my stead?Õ ÔFaith, there is none,Õ said they. And they are called, from that day to this, one of the Three Disloyal Warbands.
And then they came to the bank of the Cynfael river. And then Gronw Bebyr stood in the place where Lleu Llaw Gyffes was when he smote him, and Lleu in the place where he was. And then Gronw said to Lleu, ÔLord,Õ said he, Ôsince it was through a womanÕs wiles I did to thee that which I did, I beg thee, let me set a stone from the riverbank between me and the blow.Õ ÔFaith,Õ said Lleu, ÔI will not refuse thee that.Õ And Gronw took the stone and Lleu took aim at him with the spear. And it pierced through the stone and through him too, then was Gronw Bebyr slain. And there the stone is, on the bank of the Cynfael river in Ardudwy, and the hole through it. And for that reason it is still called Llech Ronw.
Then Lleu Llaw Gyffes subdued the land a second time and ruled over it prosperously. And as the tale tells, he was lord thereafter over Gwynedd.
