I believe I could follow the same outline of this story except for making it a bit more dramatic. When the king sends Rhun to disgrace the wife of Elphin, he goes with intent to kill her and bring her body back to the kingdom. Once he kills the 'mistress' he flees with her body back to the kingdom to try and put Elphin in misery. Once Elphin finds out that it is not his wife he laughs and humiliates Rhun calling for his execution for murder. The king is upset and sets Elphin go in exchange for pardon of his son.
