One of the most memorable passages for me in Book III of HRB is this one above. Basically…
Two brothers called Belinus and Brennius fight over the kingdom of Britain. Brennius gets exiled, but he manages to return with an army, courtesy of his French allies. Their mother Tonwenna hasn’t seen Brennius in ages, so the moment she sees him, she goes to hug him and embrace him. Then, she bares her breasts and practically lectures him, as well as pleas that he and his brother stop fighting. Somehow, this works.
😂 So, yeah, this is one of those instances where a mother goes topless in the name of diplomacy to make her sons stop fighting. And it’s absolutely hilarious.
