At
the chairing or the crowning that takes place in the Pink Pavilion
a mighty sword is half unsheathed and the first line of the ritual
is chanted. The words "Y gwir yn erbyn y byd. A oes heddwch!"
translated is "The truth against the world. Is there peace!"
and is a bit ironic to say the least. By now you will be well
aware of the fact that Iolo had an unusual relationship with truth!
