Matholwch asks Bendigeid Vran where he got the cauldron; Bendigeid Vran says Llassar came from Ireland with Kymideu, his wife, after escaping the Iron House when it was made red-hot around them.
The cauldron is carried from the Lake of the Cauldron by Llassar, then given to Bendigeid Vran and from Bendigeid Vran to Matholwch.
