Llewelyn loved also his family, in fact he had a son but his wife died because of childbirth. The action begins when the prince left his dog alone with his son to take care of him while he was fighting in a battle. So, the dog stayed near the fire to look after the baby. Next, the prince returned at his castle, tired but victorious. But when he opened the dor, he found the cradle of his son on the floor and all the room was full of blood.
After that, Llewelyn saw his god Gelert near the cradle with all the blood on his body, so he tought that the dog killed his son and for this reason, the prince killed Gelert.
