And they baptized her in the way that they did at that time, and named her Blodeuwedd.</p></blockquote>

<p>Some time later, while Lleu is away on business, Blodeuwedd has an affair with <a href="Gronw_Pebr" title="Gronw Pebr">Gronw Pebr</a>, the lord of <a href="Penllyn_(cantref)" title="Penllyn (cantref)">Penllyn</a>, and the two lovers conspire to murder Lleu. Blodeuwedd tricks Lleu into revealing how he may be killed, since he cannot be killed during the day or night, nor indoors or outdoors, neither riding nor walking, not clothed and not naked, nor by any weapon lawfully made. He reveals to her that he can only be killed at dusk, wrapped in a net, with one foot on a bath and one on a black goat, by a riverbank and by a spear forged for a year during the hours when everyone is at Mass. With this information she arranges his death.

</p>

<p>Struck by the spear thrown by Gronw's hand, Lleu transforms into an <a href="Eagle" title="Eagle">eagle</a> and flies away. Gwydion tracks him down and finds him perched high on an oak tree. Through the singing of an <a href="Englyn" title="Englyn">englyn</a> (known as <a href="Englynion_Gwydion" title="Englynion Gwydion">englynion Gwydion</a>) Gwydion lures Lleu down from the oak tree and switches him back to his human form. Gwydion and Math nurse Lleu back to health before mustering Gwynedd and reclaiming his lands from Gronw and Blodeuwedd.

</p><p>Gwydion overtakes the fleeing Blodeuwedd and turns her into an <a href="Owl" title="Owl">owl</a> (in Welsh <i>tylluan</i> or <i>gwdihŵ</i>), the creature hated by all other birds, proclaiming:

</p>

<blockquote class="templatequote"><p>You will not dare to show your face ever again in the light of day ever again, and that will be because of enmity between you and all other birds. It will be in their nature to harass you and despise you wherever they find you. And you will not lose your name – that will always be "Bloddeuwedd (Flower-face)."<sup id="cite_ref-auto_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote>

<p>The narrative adds:

</p>

<blockquote class="templatequote"><p>"Blodeuwedd" means "owl" in the language of today. And it is because of that there is hostility between birds and owls, and the owl is still known as "Blodeuwedd".<sup id="cite_ref-auto_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote>

<p>Meanwhile, Gronw escapes to Penllyn and sends emissaries to Lleu, to beg his forgiveness. Lleu refuses, demanding that Gronw must stand on the bank of the River Cynfael and receive a blow from his spear. Gronw desperately asks if anyone from his warband will take the spear in his place, but his men refuse his plea. Eventually, Gronw agrees to receive the blow on the condition that he may place a large stone between himself and Lleu. Lleu allows Gronw to do so, then throws the spear with such strength that it pierces the stone, killing his rival. A holed stone in <a href="Ardudwy" title="Ardudwy">Ardudwy</a> is still known as <i><a href="Llech_Ronw" title="Llech Ronw">Llech Ronw</a></i> (Gronw's Stone).

The only way to break the cycle is for the Blodeuwedd character to realise she is supposed to be flowers, not an owl.</li></ul>
