Subject: RE: Folklore: Cunmar the Accursed (Brittany)
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas about the significance of this curse motif as "poetic justice", or know the legend? I always thought it was oddly appropriate, when I learnt that "Conomor", or "Cynfawr" in Welsh, means "great dog", that a ruler named this should have a werewolf legend about him. "In the form of a great wolf who can only be overcome by a stab with a knife in the centre of the forehead."
