Near Harlech Castle is `The Two Kings` sculpture. It depicts the sad story of Branwen, a tale from a collection of Celtic stories known as The Mabinogion. Bendigeidfran, King of the Island of the Mighty, was at his court at Harlech when Matholwch, King of Ireland, landed. He asked for the hand of Branwen, Bendigeidfran`s sister. The marriage took place and the royal couple had a son called Gwern who became king. Later there was a war between the two countries and Gwern was killed. The sculpture is of Bendigeidfran with the body of his nephew.
