Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr

Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr
(?1157-?1195)
   Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr (English translation "Cynddelw the Great Poet") was an outstanding Welsh poet of the 12th century. He was court bard to Madog ap Maredudd, the last prince of the entire Kingdom of Powys (died 1160), and then to Madog's enemy Owain Gwynedd, prince of Gwynedd (died 1170). His poems-composed in the Welsh bardic tradition-include a small amount of religious verse and a large number of eulogies to the chief princes throughout Wales. Cynddelw seems, therefore, to have been the chief bard of all of Wales. Some of his poems: "Elegy on Madog," "In Praise of Owain Gwynedd," "Petition for Reconciliation," "Poem on His Death-Bed."
