Eliwlod

Eliwlod

In some old Welsh texts, Eliwlod is a nephew of King Arthur. His father is Madoc, son of Uther Pendragon, an obscure brother of Arthur's mentioned a very few times in Welsh literature. Eliwlod appears in the Welsh Triads, and pays a postmortem visit to his uncle in the form of a raptor in the poem "Arthur and the Eagle".
