I was wondering if it would be fitting to draw comparisons between Gwyn and Gwyn ap Nudd, a real celtic deity, in the trivia on Gwyn's page.

For one, they are both named Gwyn.

The phrase Gwyn ap Nudd means "White Son of Nudd." Many gods in Dark Souls have pale flesh, and that could include their progenitor Gwyn.

Nudd is often compared to a being called Lludd, which is dangerously similar to Lloyd, the name of Gwyn's uncle.

Said to be a great warrior with a "blackened face" (Gwyn's hollowed flesh could be mentioned), Gwyn ap Nudd is king of the fair folk (which I find somewhat similar to Gwyn's clan of gods).

In Arthurian writings, Gwyn ap Nudd is reffered to as the ruler of the Otherworld (Annwn), a world of eternal youth and delights, which sounds similar to what I imagine Anor Londo was like before the first fading of the First Flame.

On a limb, one could compare the Wild Hunt of Gwyn ap Nudd to the dragon hunts of Gwyn.
