The Battle of Tryfrwyd (or Tribruit) was the tenth battle[1] fought by Arthur as Dux Bellorum, mentioned in a number of early Welsh sources, amongst them the eleventh century poem Pa Gur and the works of the chronicler Nennius. Alongside Arthur, Manawydan fab Llyr and Cai the Tall[2] are recorded as having fought in the battle; it is implied that the latter defeated a soldier (possibly chieftain) by the name of Garwlwyd during the conflict.
