Matholwch, king of Ireland and his men run from the wrath of Bendigeidfran. He is after blood, as he has discovered Matholwch has been keeping his sister Branwen prisoner. Matholwch and his men run to the Liffey River to escape. They get to the other side of the river and then burn the bridge that crosses it.
Bendigeidfran and his men appraoch the Liffey.
"Lord," said his nobleman, "you know the strange thing about the river, no one can sail across it, nor is there a bridge."
"What shall we do for a bridge?" His men cried.
"Nothing, except he who is leader, let him be a bridge...." said Benigeidfran. "I will be a bridge."
