In "The Dream of Rhonabwy", a Welsh tale associated with the "Mabinogion", Owain is one of Arthur's top warriors and plays a game of chess against him while the Saxons prepare to fight the Battle of Badon. Three times during the game, Owain's men inform him that Arthur's squires have been slaughtering his ravens, but when Owain protests, Arthur simply responds, "Your move." Then Owain's ravens retaliate against the squires, and Owain does not stop them until Arthur crushes the chess men. The Saxon leaders arrive and ask for a truce of two weeks, and the armies move on to Cornwall. Rhonabwy, the dreamer of the "Dream", awakens, and the reader is left as confused as he is. The "Dream of Rhonabwy" has never been satisfactorily interpreted.
