Dwynwen lived during the 5th century and was, by all accounts, one of the prettiest of Brychan Brycheiniog's 24 daughters. The story goes that Dwynwen fell in love with Maelon Dafodrill, but unfortunately her father had already arranged that she should marry someone else. Maelon was so outraged that he raped Dwynwen and left her.
The Welsh are also known for their love spoons, often designed with keys, which are thought to be the origin of "key to my heart." For a list of Welsh love traditions please visit the BBC's Welsh Courting Customs.
