What date did gelert die?
Gelert, the legendary hound of Prince Llewelyn the Great, is said to have died around the 13th century, although no specific date is recorded. According to the tale, Llewelyn returned home to find Gelert fatally wounded after mistakenly believing the dog had harmed his child.

What is the story of Gelert - the dog who is commemorated in the village name Beddgelert?
Legend says that Gelert was the faithful hound of Llewelyn the Great, a Welsh Prince, and that he was buried in Beddgelert (which is Welsh for "grave of Gelert") after being killed by his master. The story says that after returning from a days hunting, Llewelyn was greeted by a joyful, but bloodstained, Gelert. Fearing the worst Llewelyn ran to his son's cradle but found it empty and also bloodstained. Assuming that Gelert had harmed his son, Llewelyn plunged his sword into the dog, killing him. He then heard his son crying and found him, completely unharmed, and nearby was a wolf which the faithful Gelert had slain to protect the boy.

Dog lovers will be relieved to know that this story is a complete fabrication, put about in the nineteenth century. Some say that local traders were responsible, in an attempt to lure Snowdon's visitors to their village. It is thought that the place name actually refers to Celert, a sixth century saint from the area. The "Legend of the dog" was "known to most people" by the time George Borrow visited Beddgelert in 1854 as part of the journey through the country he published in 1862 asWild Wales. "The tomb, or what is said to be the tomb, of Gelert stands in a beautiful meadow just below the precipitous side of Cerrig Llan: it consists of a slab lying on its side, and two upright stones. It is shaded by a weeping willow, and is surrounded by a hexagonal paling. Who is there acquainted with the legend, whether he believes that the dog lies beneath these stones or not, can visit them without exclaiming with a sigh "Poor Gelert!".
