Poetry
Very little information has survived relating to Ieuan and his poetry. Ieuan composed five poems to a woman named “Anni Goch” in one of which he accuses how false women have been throughout history. Recent research has shown that Ieuan Dyfi was brought before a church court, where he admitted adultery with Anni, a married woman. This provoked Gwerful Mechain to respond with her poem “I Ateb Ieuan Dyfi am gywydd Anni Goch”.
