The story, steeped in folklore, tells of Prince Llewelyn the Great and his faithful hound, Gelert, who was mistakenly killed by the prince under the belief that the dog had harmed his son. However, it was later revealed that Gelert had actually saved the child from a wolf, leading to deep remorse from the prince.
