UI's Celtic Mythology - Gwern
Gwern, according to Welsh mythology, was the son of the Irish king Matholwch and the Welsh princess Branwen. A dispute between the two royal families led to Branwen becoming a cook, which caused her brother, Bran The Blessed, to sail to Ireland to avenge the insult. Matholwch suggested a compromise to settle the quarrel. He proposed that Gwern, though only three, should be placed on the Irish throne. But Branwen's half-brother Efnisien would not agree and threw the child on the fire.
Talk about a fiery situation! (sorry)
