The Horrors of Medieval Werewolves

  / cambrianchronicles   "The most recent case of a suspected werewolf in Britain is the Merioneth example, which was seen by an Oxford professor, his wife, and guest in the eighties" -J. Wentworth Day, 1932 There's an odd tradition found amongst some of the texts belonging to the history of Wales. Here, we are told that if an individual commits a heinous act, God will punish them not through divine wrath, not by flooding the Earth (again), but instead... by turning them into a wolf. This state appears to be permanent, unless the individual is able to convince God, or a powerful saint, to change them back. But these man-wolves are not confined to religious texts, and instead are the antagonists in Arthurian adventures, the protagonists in their own tales of woe throughout Welsh history, and indeed in some cases, truly horrifying spirits attached to cursed skulls and mystical lakes in the wilds of Wales. These are the stories of the men and women, kings and peasants, cursed to live as wolves throughout the history of Wales.
