<P> According to the Fourth Branch , Arianrhod 's uncle Math fab Mathonwy would die if he did not keep his feet in the lap of a virgin when he was not at war . Gilfaethwy conceives a lust for Math 's original footholder , Goewin , and he and his brother Gwydion engineer a war with King Pryderi of Dyfed , forcing Math to leave his court . In Math 's absence Gilfaethwy rapes Goewin . When Math returns he punishes his nephews severely by turning them into a series of mated pairs of animals , and marries Goewin to alleviate her shame . However , he must find a new virgin to hold his feet . </P>
