Gender and Inheritance in the Fourth Branchĭuring the third and second millennia before the common era, groups of warrior-farmers were spreading westwards over the area we now call Europe, gaining control over the herds, pastures, fields and sacred landscapes established by earlier Neolithic populations.
For this reason, we might understand the Fourth Branch as a medieval rendition of proto-Celtic lore: a stratum of magico-religious tradition which appears to have been firmly established across the large areas of North and West Europe by 1000 BC. What is being preserved at the core of this final tale of the Mabinogi is a reflex of one of the most significant magico-religious traditions of pre-Christian Europe, which arguably predates the emergence of Celtic as a distinct language group between 30 BC. There is little doubt that this group is ultimately identical to that magical race from the Irish tradition known as the Tuatha Dé Danann, ‘Peoples of the Goddess Danu’. The aura of pagan magic also clings to a number of the other protagonists of the Mabinogi of Math, in particular the members of that colourful dynasty often referred to as the Children of Dôn. Lleu is literally a druidic god in medieval clothing: and this twelfth-century rendition of his life and death lacks none of the grandeur, drama or esoteric insight we might expect from such an enduring and adaptable magico-mythical structure. Cognate with the Irish Lugh Lamfada and the Gaulish Lugus, the hero of the Fourth Branch is the one character in the Mabinogi for whom we have definitive evidence of a pre-Christian cult. Its central events are the birth, death and rebirth of Lleu Llaw Gyffes ‘Lleu Skillful Hand’, the consummate hero-god of the Celtic world.
