Line 19:
Over time, Gwallog evolved into a semi-mythological figure akin to [[King Arthur|Arthur]]. In the medieval text "Geraint son of Erbin", he is named as one of Arthur's knights and also appears in the [[Welsh Triads|Welsh triads]] as one of the "Three Armed Warriors of the Island of Britain" and one of the "Three Battle Pillars of the Island of Britain". Gwallog is also mentioned in the [[Black Book of Carmarthen]] poem "''Ymddiddan Gwyddno Garanhir a Gwyn ap Nudd''" as one of the slain warriors escorted to their graves by [[Gwyn ap Nudd]], the lord of the Welsh [[Annwn|Otherworld]].
The medieval Welsh ''[[Bonedd y Saint]]'' claims that Gwallog was the father of [[Talybont, Barmouth|Saint Dwywe]], though this is unlikely to be based on sound historical information.<ref>W.
