  Gwern
Gwern is known from the Mabinogi of Branwen ferch Llŷr where he was the son of Branwen and Matholwch king of Ireland.
Gwern's name is derived from the Cymric for alder tree (it also means marshland, as the alder tree grows there and it can mean a ship's mast [once formed from alder wood]).
Gwern may once have been a deity of alder trees and thus would be cognate with the Gaulish deities: Buxenus (box), Fagus (Beech) and Robur (oak).

 Bran
Bran’s nephew is called Gwern, the Welsh word for alder, and in the Battle of the Trees, Bran was identified by the alder sprigs he carried.
At the feast celebrating the reconciliation between Bran and the Irish king, Gwern is made the new king of Ireland, but then, in the midst of the joyful feast, Bran's half-brother throws Gwern into the raging fire, precipitating the final battle.
Looked at this way, the episode is also reminiscent of the story of the greek hero Achilles, who as a child was placed in the fire by his mother to render him immortal, but was left with a vulnerable heel where his mother had held him.

 Tredegar House
Ifor ap Llewelyn, second son of Llewelyn ap Ifor and Angharad of Tredegar, was assured by his bard that "As long as the Welsh language continues your praise will be sung." As the Eistedfodd returned to the grounds of Tredegar House last year, it was readily apparent that Dafydd was as good as his word.
It was at Gwern y Cleppa, at the court of Ifor Hael, that he enjoyed the munificent hospitality that inspired some of his greatest work.
Sadly for our so far idyllic story, it was not just the free-flowing drink with Ifor, and the great stags near Gwern y Cleppa, that appealed to Dafydd; he was appointed to act as tutor to Ifor's daughter and, rather inconveniently, fell in love with her.
