Three Tribal Thrones Of the Island of Britain:
Arthur as Chief Prince in Abberfraw,
and Dewi as Chief Bishop,
and Maelgwyn Gwynedd as Chief Elder;

Arthur as Chief Prince in Celliwig in Cornwall,
and Bytwini as Chief Bishop,
and Caradoc Strong Arm as Chief Elder;

Arthur as Chief Prince in Pen Rhionydd in the North,
and Cyndeyrn Garthwys as Chief Bishop,
and Gerthmwl Wledig as Chief Elder.

Three Generous men of the Island of Britain:
Nudd the Generous, son of Senyllt,
Mordaf the Generous, son of Serwan,
and Rhydderch the Generous, son of Tudwal Tudglyd.
(and Arthur was more generous than the three)

Three Well-Endowed Men of the Island of Britain:
Rhiwallawn Broom-hair, and Gwalchmai son of Gwyar,  and Llachau son of Arthur.

Three Frivolous Bards of the Island of Britain:
Arthur, and Cadwallawn son of Cadfan, and Rahawd son of Morgant.

Three Favourites of Arthur's Court, and Three Battle-Horsemen:
they would never endure a Penteleu over them.
And Arthur sang an Englyn:
These are my Three Battle-Horsemen:
Menned, and Lludd of the Breastplate,
and the Pillar of the Cymry, Caradoc.

Three Red Ravagers of the Island of Britain:
Rhun son of Beli,
and Lleu Skilful Hand, 
and Morgant the Wealthy.
But there was one who was a Red Ravager greater than all three: Arthur was his name. For a year neither grass nor plants used to spring up where one of the three would walk; but where Arthur went, not for seven years.

Three Powerful Swineherds of the Island of Britain:
Pryderi son of Pwyll, Lord of Annwfn, tending the swine of Penndaran Dyfed his foster-father. These swine were the seven animals which Pwyll Lord of Annwfn brought, and gave them to Penndaran Dyfed, his foster-father. And the place where he used to keep them was in Glyn Cuch in Emlyn. And this is why he was called a Powerful Swineherd: because no one was able either to deceive or to force him; 

and the second, Drystan son of Tallwch, tending the swine of March son of Meirchyawn, while the swineherd went with a message to Essyllt. Arthur and March and Cai and Bedwyr were there all four, but they did not succeed in getting so much as one pigling - neither by force, nor by deception, nor by stealth;

And the third, Coll son of Collfrewy, tending the swine of Dallwyr Dallben in Glyn Dallwyr in Cornwall. And one of the swine was pregnant, Henwen was her name. And it was prophesied that the Island of Britain would be the worse for the womb-burden. 

Then Arthur assembled the army of the Island of Britain, and set out to seek to destroy her. And then she set off, about to bring forth, and at Penrhyn Awstin in Cornwall she entered the sea, and the Powerful Swineherd after her. And in the Wheat Field in Gwent she brought forth a grain of wheat and a bee. And therefore from that day to this the Wheat Field in Gwent is the best place for wheat and for bees. And at Llonion in Pembroke she brought forth a grain of barley and a grain of wheat. Therefore, the barley of Llonion is proverbial. At the Hill of Cyferthwch in Arfon she brought forth a wolf-cub and a young eagle. The wolf was given to Mergaed and the eagle to Breat, a prince of the North: and they were both the worse for them. And at Llanfair in Arfon under the Black Rock she brought forth a kitten, and the Powerful Swineherd threw it from the Rock into the sea. 

And the sons of Palug fostered it in Môn, to their own harm: and that was Palug's Cat, and it was one of the Three Great Oppressions of Môn, nurtured therein. The second was Daronwy, and the third was Edwin, king of Lloegr.

Three Fortunate Concealments of the Island of Britain:
The Head of Bran the Blessed, son of Llyr,
which was concealed in the White Hill in London, with its face towards France.
And as long as it was in the position in which it was put there,
no Saxon Oppression would ever come to this Island;

The second Fortunate Concealment:
The Dragons in Dinas Emrys, which Lludd son of Beli concealed;

And the third: the Bones of Gwerthefyr the Blessed, in the Chief Ports of this Island.
And as long as they remained in that concealment,
no Saxon Oppression would ever come to this Island.

And they were the Three Unfortunate Disclosures when these were disclosed.

And Gwrtheyrn the Thin disclosed the bones of Gwerthefyr the Blessed
for the love of a woman. That was Ronnwen the pagan woman;
And it was he who disclosed the Dragons;

And Arthur disclosed the Head of Bran the Blessed from the White Hill,
Because it did not seem right to him that this Island should be defended
by the strength of anyone, but by his own.

Three Exalted Prisoners of the Island of Britain:
Llyr Half-Speech, who was imprisoned by Euroswydd,
and the second, Mabon son of Modron,
and third, Gwair son of Geirioedd. 
And one Prisoner, who was more exalted than the three of them, was three nights in prison in Caer Oeth and Anoeth, and three nights imprisoned by Gwen Pendragon, and three nights in an enchanted prison beneath the Stone of Echymeint. This Exalted Prisoner was Arthur. And it was the same lad who released him from each of these three prisons- Goreu, son of Custennin, his cousin.

Three Harmful Blows of the Island of Britain:
The first of them Matholwch the Irishman struck upon Branwen daughter of Llyr;
The second Gwenhwyfach struck upon Gwenhwyfar: and for that cause there took place afterwards the Action of the Battle of Camlan;
And the third Golydan the Poet struck upon Cadwaladr the Blessed.

Three Unrestrained Ravagings of the Island of Britain:
The first of them when Medrawd came to Arthur's Court at Celliwig in Cornwall;
he left neither food nor drink in the court that he did not consume.
And he dragged Gwenhwyfar from her royal chair, and then he struck a blow upon her;
The second Unrestrained Ravaging when Arthur came to Medrawd's court.
He left neither food nor drink in the court; 
And the third Unrestrained Ravaging when Aeddan the Wily came to the court of Rhydderch the Generous at Alclud [Dumbarton]; he left neither food nor drink nor beast alive.

Three Great Queens of Arthur:
Gwennhwyfar daughter of Cywryd Gwent,
and Gwenhwyfar daughter of Gwythyr son of Greidiawl,
and Gwenhwyfar daughter of Gogfran the Giant.

And his Three Mistresses were these:
Indeg son of Garwy the Tall,
and Garwen Fair Leg daughter of Henin the tall
and Gwyl the Modest, daughter of Gendawd Big Chin.

Three Unrestricted Guests of Arthur's Court,
and Three Wanderers:
Llywarch the Old, and Llemenig, and Heledd.

Three Peers of Arthurs Court
Rahawd son of Morgant,
And Dalldaf son of Cunyn Cof
And Drystan son of March.

Three Faithless Wives of the Island of Britain:
Essylt Fair Hair (Trystans Mistress),
and Penarwen (wife of Owain son of Urien),
and Bun, wife of Fflamddwyn.
And one who was more faithless than those three: Gwynhwyvar,
Arthur's wife, since she shamed a better man than any of the others.

Three Futile Battles of the Island of Britain
One of them was the Battle of Goddeu:
It was brought about by the cause of the bitch, together with the roebuck and the plover;
The second was the action of Arfderyydd,
which was brought about by the cause of the Lark's nest;
And the third was the worst: that was Camlan, which was brought about
 because of a quarrel between Gwenhwyvar and her sister Gwenhwyvach.
This is why those Battles were called Futile:
because they were brought about by such a barren cause as that.

Three Skilful Bards were at Arthur's Court:
Myrddin Sylvester, son of Morfryn,
Myrddin Emrys,
and Taliesin of the Shining Brow.

Three Diademed Men of the Island of Britain:
Gweir son of Gwystyl,
and Cei son of Cynyr,
and Drystan son of Tallwch.
and one was diademed above the three of them that was Bedwyr son of Bedrawc

Owain son of Urien,
Rhun son of Maelgwn,
Rhuvawn the Radiant son of Dewrarth Wledig.

Three Enchanters of the Island of Prydain.

and the Enchantment of Uthyr Pendragon which he taught to Menw son of Teirgwaedd, and the Enchantment of Rudlwm the Dwarf which he taught to Coll son of Collfrewy his nephew.

Three Prostrate Chieftains of the Island of Britain:
Llywarch the Old son of Elidir Llydanwyn,
and Manawydan son of Llyr Half-Speech,
and Gwgon Gwron son of Peredur son of Eliffer of the Great Retinue.
And this is why those were called 'Prostrate Chieftains':
because they would not seek a dominion, which nobody could deny to them.

Three Enemy-Subduers of the Island of Britain:
Greidiawl Enemy-Subduer son of Envael Adrann,
and Gweir of Great Valour,
and Drystan son of Tallwch.

Three Fair Maidens of Arthurs Court:
Dyfyr Golden-Hair,
Enid daughter of Earl Ynawl
and Tegau Gold-Breast.

Three Battle-Leaders of the Island of Britain:
Selyf son of Cynan Garrwyn,
and Urien son of Cynfarch, 
and Afaon son of Taliesin.
This is why they were called battle-leaders:
because they avenged their wrongs from their graves.

and Fleudur Flam (flame)

Three Pillars of Battle of the Island of Britain:

And those were three sons of Gleissiar of the North,
by Haearnwedd the Wily their mother.

Three Unfortunate Counsels of the Island of Britain:
To give place for their horses' fore-feet on the land to Julius Caesar  and the men of Rome, in requital for Meinlas;
and the second: to allow Horsa and Hengist and Rhonwen into this Island;
and the third: the three-fold dividing by Arthur of his men with Medrawd at Camlan.

These Three performed the Three Fortunate Assassinations:
Gall son of Dysgyfdawd who slew the Two Birds of Gwenddolau. And they had a yoke of gold on them. Two corpses of the Cymry they ate for their dinner, and two for their supper; And Ysgafnell son of Dysgyfdawd, who slew Edelfled king of Lloegr; And Diffydell son of Dysgyfdawd who slew Gwrgi Garwlwyd ('Rough Grey').  That Gwrgi used to make a corpse of one of the Cymry every day, and two on each Saturday so as not to slay on Sunday.

Three Faithless War-Bands of the Islands of Britain:
The War-Band of Goronwy the Radiant of Penllyn, who refused to receive the poisoned spear from Lleu Skilful-Hand on behalf of their lord, at the Stone of Goronwy at the head of the Cynfal; and the War-Band of Gwrgi and Peredur, who abandoned their lord at Caer Greu, when they had an appointment to fight the next day with Eda Great-Knee; and there they were both slain; And the War-Band of Alan Fyrgan, who turned away from him by night, and let him go with his servants to Camlan. And there he was slain.

Three Red-Speared Bards of the Island of Britain:
Dygynnelw, bard of Owain son of Urien, and Arouan Bard Selen son of Cynan, and Afan Ferddig, bard of Cadwallawn son of Cadfan.

Three Bulls of Battle of the Island of Prydain.

The children of Meirchiawn ap Gorwst Ledlwm (Half Bare):

And from Cynwyd Cynwydion there came the Three Hundred Shields of Cynwydion. And from Coel they were called the Three Hundred Spears of the sons of Coel.
