In the 12th or 13th century the Medieval Welsh ruler Llywelyn ab Iorwerth returns from hunting to find his baby missing, the cradle overturned, and Gelert with a blood-smeared mouth. Believing the dog had attacked the child, Llywelyn draws his sword and kills Gelert. After the dog's dying yelp, Llywelyn hears the cries of his baby, unharmed under the cradle, along with a dead wolf that had been killed by Gelert protecting the child. Llywelyn is overcome with remorse and buries the dog with great ceremony (which supposedly led to the town's name) but can still hear its dying yelp. After that day, Llywelyn never smiles again.

Yeah, he was a real piece of shit. Man fuck y'all.
The story of the faithful hound Gelert, owned by Llywelyn and mistakenly killed by him, is also considered to be fiction. "Gelert's grave" is a popular tourist attraction in Beddgelert but is thought to have been created by an 18th-century innkeeper to boost the tourist trade. The tale itself is a variation on a common folktale motif.
I feel bad for Mr. Llywelyn, imagine if 500 years after you die someone invents a ragebait story about you to scam gullible tourists and now everyone thinks you're an asshole because of that greedy MF
It’s a little mean of the wife to blame her husband fully when she dealt the killing blow. Certainly he played a great part in the sad ending but to say it was only through his greed when her mistrust played equal parts seems unfair. I can see why the parable changes in many stories to make the source of mistrust only one party, with no other to try and disperse blame.
Cake with 1.5 cups of salt? That sounds nasty. On the real though, do I sound that much like a bot? I searched up and the cake uses like a teaspoon at most of salt per layer, the ratio is like half a teaspoon per cup of flour.
