Its site,
however, is not now certainly known, and it is not to be confounded with
the "Queen's Bath" of the present day, which was named after Queen Anne.

Prince Bladud lived to carry out most of his plans. He built a palace
for his father in Swamptown. He built a palace for himself and Branwen,
with a wing to it for Dromas and Hafrydda, and took up his permanent
abode there when he afterwards became king. At the death of his father
he added another wing for the queen-mother--with internal doors opening
from each wing to the other, in order that they might live, so to speak,
as one family. This arrangement worked admirably until the families
became large, and the younger members obstreperous, when the internal
doors were occasionally, even frequently, shut. He also built a snug
house for Konar, and made him Hunter-General to the Royal Household. It
is said that, owing to the genial influence of Bladud's kind nature,
Konar recovered his reason, and, forgetting the false fair-one who had
jilted him, took to himself a helpmate who more than made up for her
loss.

Captain Arkal soon found that his passion for hot water cooled. As it
did so, his love for salt water revived. He returned to Hellas, and,
after paying his respects to his pretty Greek wife, and dandling the
solid, square, bluff, and resolute baby, he reloaded his ship and
returned to Albion. Thus he went and came for many years.

Little Maikar, however, did not follow his example. True, he
accompanied his old captain on his first trip to Hellas, but that was
for the purpose of getting possession of a dark-eyed maiden who awaited
him there; with whom he returned to Swamptown, and, in that lovely
region, spent the remainder of his life.

Even Addedomar was weaned from outlawry to honesty by the irresistible
solicitations of Bladud, and as, in modern times, many an incorrigible
poacher makes a first-rate gamekeeper, so the robber-chief became an
able head-huntsman under the Hunter-General. The irony of Fate decreed,
however, that the man who had once contemplated three wives was not to
marry at all. He dwelt with his mother Ortrud to the end of her days in
a small house not far from the residence of Konar. Gunrig's mother also
dwelt with them--not that she had any particular regard for them
personally, but in order that she might be near to the beautiful girl
who had been beloved by her son.
