Name Llygad Gwr | Role Poet | |
Llygad Gŵr (fl. 1268/1258-c.1293,) was a Welsh-language poet in the court of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.
His surviving works are a sequence of five awdlau for Llwyelyn and four poems that praise the dynasty of Powys Fadog.
In his poetry, he envisions Wales as a single united nation with Llywelyn as its head and supreme power: “the true king of Wales.” This has been called "the most ‘nationalist’ poetry in Welsh before the days of Glyn Dwr"
