	Hafgan: a Cymric Mabinogi Hero (Summer White)
		Hafgan is known from the Mabinogi of Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed where he is the mortal enemy of Arawn lord of the realm of Annwfn.
		Hafgan is mortally wounded and implores Pwyll (who is in the guise of Arawn) to properly dispose of him, but Pwyll refuses.
		The symbolic battle between Pwyll and Hafgan is highly reminiscent of the combat between Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in the tale of the same name and it is widely believed that Hafgan contirbuted to the conception of the Green Knight.

		It came into the minds of the men of Hafgan's teulu at that time that it would be better for their lord and Arawn to fight alone, body against body; and whoso might be the winner, he should be the king.
		Hafgan and his men were waiting on their side of the river; he and Pwyll would fight in the middle of the ford, with the shallow water playing about their feet.
		Hafgan lifted his long spear, and hurled it out vigorously at the one that seemed to be Arawn.

	Arawn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the Mabinogion story Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, Arawn is the 'Pen Annwn' or Head of Annwn, king in Annwn; who appeals to Pwyll for help against Hafgan, and exchanges kingdoms for a year with him.
		Arawn is seasonally challenged by other would-be claimants for his title, 'Pen Annwn' or Head of Annwn, and cedes place with another warrior in order to retain his position and so is closely related to Gwynn ap Nudd, who engages in a similar seasonal contest.
		Two such stories are the Pwyll story involving Hafgan and the story about Amatheon.

		In the Mabinogion, Pwyll mistakenly set his hounds upon a stag, only to discover that Arawn had been hunting the same animal.
		To pay for his misdeed, Arawn asked him to trade places with him for a year and a day, and defeat Hafgan, Arawn's rival, at the end of this time, since Hafgan could only be killed by a mortal.
		Arawn, meanwhile, took Pwyll's place as king of Dyfed.

		[15] struck Hafgan in the middle of the boss of his shield, so it split in two halves and all his armour was broken and Hafgan was a spear-and-arms length over the back of his horse and onto the ground, with a mortal wound upon him.
		The purpose of Pwyll’s sorjourn in the Indigenous Underworld is to rid Arawn of his ‘oppression’: the rival king Hafgan (‘Summer-Bright’) with whom he is locked in a ongoing and irreconcilable conflict.
		The underlying implication of this act is that had Pwyll given in to his enemy’s entreaty, he would have somehow failed to defeat him.
