Wynebgwrthucher was the name given to King Arthur's shield in the 11th century Welsh prose work, Culhwch and Olwen. The shield and Arthur’s weapons are named when Arthur says to Culhwch: It is likely that this shield would be circular like those carried by Dark Age warriors rather than the elongated shields of later medieval warriors. Wynebgwrthucher means 'face of evening'. Some theorise that the shield bore an image of the cross. This originates from the Annales Cambriae (Welsh Annals) entry in which it is possible that the Welsh word for 'shield' has been confused with 'shoulder'. The Battle of Badon, in which Arthur carried the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ for three days and three nights on his shoulders/shield (?) and the Britons were the victors.
