The second story centres on the triangle of Bendigeidfran (meaning Bran the Blessed), the giant king of Britain, his sister Branwen, and their evil half-brother Efnisien (sometimes spelt Evnissyen).

It's these first four heroic 'tales', or the four 'branches' of Pwyll, Branwen, Manawydan, and Math, which make up The Mabinogi(on) proper. A single character, Pryderi links all four branches.
