Indeed, while Pwyll is this character\u2019s name, pwyll is also a common noun in Welsh, meaning \u2018sense\u2019, \u2018intelligence\u2019 or \u2018wisdom\u2019. It\u2019s possible to read this tale as a story about how Pwyll comes to embody his name, how he learns to become a wise and good ruler. We see him acting in some very unwise ways, and other characters \u2013 Arawn, king of Annwfn and Rhiannon, Pwyll\u2019s wife \u2013 need to help him. Rhiannon is among the most memorable characters of the Welsh literary tradition, a wise woman who speaks wittily and puts her unwise husband in his place when need be. Remembering this literary work\u2019s direct historical context, Wales of the \u2018Age of the Princes\u2019, it is possible to read this tale as \u2018a mirror for princes\u2019, a text which offers lessons to future leaders."}
