    Welcome to day six of Legendary Love Week at White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings.   Today’s post is about Blodeuwedd and Gronw Pebyr!   Now, Blodeuwedd’s relationship with Gronw famously began as an affair, as Blodeuwedd was called forth from the Otherworld into physical form, literally made of flowers, to be the wife of…
