Rhygenydd the Cleric
Rhygenydd the Cleric (Welsh: Rhygenydd Ysgolhaig) was a cleric of possible Roman or British origin.
In Welsh mythology, Rhygenydd was said to have a magical vat or crock and dish, that whatever food might be wished for, would appear within.[1] The crock and dish's design was later replicated on a tablet made from a precursor material, and was later found inside Wiccan's Cave in Eurviscire.[2]
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 Nennius, author of the Historia Brittonum about the baptism of Edwin of Northumbria.[3]
