Editing Rhygenydd the Cleric

{{Era|Culture|Individuals}}
'''Rhygenydd the Cleric''' ({{Wiki|Welsh language|Welsh}}: ''Rhygenydd Ysgolhaig'') was a cleric of possible [[Roman Empire|Roman]] or [[Britons|British]] origin.

In [[Wales|Welsh]] {{Wiki|Welsh mythology|mythology}}, Rhygenydd was said to have a magical vat or crock and dish, that whatever food might be wished for, would appear within.<ref>{{WP|Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain}}</ref> The crock and dish's design was later replicated on a tablet made from a [[Isu|precursor]] material, and was later found inside [[Wiccan's Cave]] in [[Yorkshire|Eurviscire]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]''</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
Rhygenydd the Cleric is a legendary figure in Welsh myths and appears in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' through the questline to acquire the legendary sword [[Excalibur]]. Rhygenydd does not appear by that name in any other source but the original legend about the Thirteen Treasures, although a link to Renchidus Episocpus, a 7th century possible priest, has been theorized. Renchidus gave information to {{Wiki|Nennius}}, author of the ''{{Wiki|Historia Brittonum}}'' about the baptism of {{Wiki|Edwin of Northumbria}}.<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://lornasmithers.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/10-11-the-vat-and-dish-of-rhygenydd/| title=10, 11.
