List poets of Welsh language

The poetry of Welsh language always was marked, at least until the last third of the XXè century, by the specific form of its versification, forms encouraged and promoted by the Eisteddfod. See also: List of writers of Welsh language (of approximately 1600 until our days).

Before the year 1000

These two poets, who lived in the north of the island of Brittany to the Hen Ogledd, are not specifically Welsh, at least geographically, but mark the known beginnings of the britonnic literatures, which they are Welsh, cornic, or Breton. In the Welsh tradition Aneirin, and especially Taliesin, are the founders of the Welsh bardic tradition.

A rather considerable of worms by anonymous authors or mythological number - including the worms allotted to Llywarch Hen - occurs in the manuscripts of the Middle Ages and are dated in IXe-XIIe centuries.

From 1000 to 1300

The bards below are recognized in Wales under the traditional name of Gogynfeirdd or, courrament, Beirdd there Tywysogion (Poets of the princes), because they are the bards of the court famous, erudite and scholars who composed of the worms scintillating comparable by the complexity of their metric with works of the skalds in Scandinavia.
