		The fort, they were told, belonged to Ysbaddaden, chief of the giants, and no lad who went there to court his daughter ever returned.
		Whatever Culhwch had imagined a giant's daughter to look like, well, it wasn't like Olwen: she had the rosiest cheeks in the fairest face, framed by the yellowest hair; around her neck was a golden torque, and a robe of flaming silk flowed to her feet.
		Ysbaddaden said: "My daughter is yours, and my life is over, but do not thank me because it is King Arthur who has won her for you".
