Mabinogion

The Mabinogion are the earliest British prose stories and belong to the Matter of Britain. The stories were compiled in Middle Welsh in the 12th-13th centuries from earlier oral traditions. There are two main source manuscripts, created c. 1350-1410, as well as a few earlier fragments. The Mabinogion as a collection also refers to seven other stories: The Dream of Macsen Wledig; Llud and Llefelys; Culhwch and Olwen; The Dream of Rhonabwy; and three Arthurian adventures called The Lady of the Fountain, Peredur and Geraint and Enid. Perhaps the most significant cultural source of these stories comes from The Mabinogion, a collection of 11 tales dating prior to the Middle Ages.
