Because she could not marry him she prayed to forget him. An angel visited her and magically erased the prince from her memory, transforming him into a block of ice. She was so sad she made three wishes: the first was Maelon to be thawed, the second that all lovers should have their hopes and dreams come true and the third that she would never marry.<br />She founded a convent on Llanddwyn in Anglesey. It is believed that the sacred fish and eels of the well foretell the love and happiness of lovers.<br /><span style="font-size: 80%;">Information from www.history-uk.com</span></em></p>
