Owain Cyfeiliog

Owain ap Gruffydd (around 1130 - 1197) was a prince of the Powys south and a bard Welsh. One knows it under the name of Owain Cyfeiliog to distinguish it from one of his contemporaries, Owain ap Gruffydd , king of Gwynedd, itself known under the name of Owain Gwynedd.

Its work

One knows of him Hirlas Owain , where the poet celebrates the courage of his friends combatants at the time of a raid in 1155 to release his Meurig brother of the prison of Maelor. Having mission accomplished, Owain requires the horn to drink which it makes pass to each member of its guard, after force praises with each one. Then comes the funeral evocation from two of its died men to the combat and the sorrow which their loss causes.

Same Owain appears in the novel Fulke FitzWarin: it is him the knight who strikes his lance.
