Gwenn Teir Bronn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Welsh mythology, Gwenn Teir Bronn was a figure mentioned as the mother of a saint in the Vitae Sanctorum Britanniae et Genealogiae.[1] Her name in Middle Welsh means "fair one of the three breasts" (modern Welsh Gwen tair bron). She is sometimes interpreted to have been an euhemerized mother goddess.
The words comprising this name derive from Proto-Celtic *windā tisres brundā.[2]
