When childbirth approaches, she returns to herself and retires to a hound. Frightened by pigs, she gives birth to a pig in a pig. The chamois takes care of the baby boy and baptizes Culhwch.

After childbirth, Goleuddydd becomes severely ill and, before dying, she begs her husband not to repent before seeing a rowan with two flowers on her grave. Goleuddydd orders his confessor to visit his tomb every year and clean it up to keep us from growing. After seven years the confessor forgets the task and the plants begin to grow.

One day while hunting, Cilydd fights in the grave and sees a rowan with two flowers. Then he remembers the oath made to his deceased wife and, after killing King Doged, marries his widow. Etimologiamodifica wikitesto
