In the tale of Lludd and Llefelys from The Mabinogion, the land of Britain is plagued by three terrible curses.
Among them, the most famous is the fierce battle between two mighty dragons—one red in colour, and one white. Their deafening cries cause chaos and fear across the land. After trapping them in a specially prepared pit filled with mead, Lludd and Llefelys bury the dragons beneath the earth at Dinas Emrys, the site of a castle erected by Llewelyn the Last to guard the road to the mountain pass of Eryri.
Dina Emrys features in later Arthurian lore, where a tower built on the site continually collapses, until Merlin reveals the problem as the dragons buried beneath.
