Llŷr Llediaith (also known as Llyr Lleddiarth, King Lear, Lear II, Tasciovanus, Half-Speech) is a mythical British King. He is said to be the son of Baran, or of Ceri. Llediaith, which means literally "half-speech", is said to refer to "the act of speaking Welsh with a foreign accent". He was educated in Rome by Augustus Caesar. His home was at Dunraven Castle, which was situated on a hill called Twyn Rhyvan (the Hill of Rome) located in Glamorgan. He is probably the same as Leir of Britain.
