	Dafydd ap Gwilym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Dafydd ap Gwilym (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Dafydd ap Gwilym, Wales' greatest poet (and lover!), is a fascinating yet shadowy figure from the past.
		Dafydd describes Llywelyn's house, Cryngae, as a white-washed house perched on a hill, with lamps burning brightly, with seats covered with silk brocade, and in which fine French wine was drunk from cups of gold.
		Dafydd was recognized as an exceptional poet in his own day, and his position as Wales's greatest poet has remained unchallenged over the centuries.

	Dafydd ap Gwilym (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Dafydd's range of personal contacts included his fellow-poet Gruffudd ab Adda, Madog Benfras, and Gruffudd Gryg - the last being an Anglesey poet with whom Dafydd exchanged a sequence of cywyddau in the form of a debate concerning the proper subjects to be treated of in the newly-introduced cywydd verse-form.
		Dafydd's uncle may, perhaps, have been the first to have introduced Dafydd to the "two cultures" - that is to the native bardic tradition as well as to the language and poetry and romances of the Anglo-Norman world.
		During the century of political upheaval and social turmoil which followed the loss of national independence in 1282, Dafydd ap Gwilym introduced innovations into the subject-matter and metrical techniques and language of poetry which effectively gave a new dimension to the poetic art in Wales.

	Dafydd ap Gwilym / 100 Welsh Heroes / 100 Arwyr Cymru
		Dafydd ap Gwilym’s poetry is full of themes, which would still make some people blush to read them.
		Although Wales’ last independent Prince had died forty years before Dafydd was born, he was very familiar with the Poetic Art of the ‘Poets Of The Princes’, who would visit the courts singing the praises of their patrons in their well-crafted poems in strict metre.
		In most of Dafydd’s poems, he aired his feelings of love towards a girl, and he even dared to serenade them even though they were married.

	Dafydd ap Gwilym
		Dafydd ap Gwilym, son of Gwilym Gam and Ardudful Fychan, greatest of the medieval Welsh poets, was born at Bro Gynin, Cardiganshire, about the year 1340.
		The latter arrangement leading to an attachment between tutor and pupil, the girl was banished to a convent in Anglesey, to where the poet followed her, taking service in an adjacent monastery, but on returning to Maesaleg he was permitted to retain his stewardship.
		In consequence of attempting to elope with this lady, Dafydd ab Gwilym, being unable to pay the fine demanded by her husband, was imprisoned.

		Below is a short biography of Dafydd ap Gwilym drawn from the BBC website.
		I wanted to retain it partly due to respect for the man and to encourage others to read him, but mostly for the last paragraph, which gives a rough definition of the styles he used and the names for them.
		Dafydd was a cheeky man to say the least with a ribald sense of humour and a real grasp of the satire and the praise-poem.

	Love Poetry of Dafydd ap Gwilym
		Dafydd ap Gwilym is a great writer, a major part of our cultural heritage, and his work should be better known, both because it helps us to understand the unique world of Welsh civilization and also because, like all art, it teaches us about ourselves and about our own world." David Rowe
		'The Love Poetry of Dafydd ap Gwilym' was written for the U.K. Year of Literature of Writing as part of the 'Wales in the World' festival.
		Dafydd has passed into legend and folklore as a great lover, a kind of medieval Welsh Casanova, and this is no doubt due in part ot the great number of love poems that he wrote.

		"Dafydd, the cross on their graves Marks what little it saves, Says, They did well in their lives." -- Dafydd ap Gwilym
		Dafydd is considered to be the best of the medieval Welsh poets, living only from 1340-1370, and is particularly noted for his rhyme schemes and poetic composition.
		His themes run from the very sexual (he did an ode to his penis) to nature poetry to such pieces as above that focus on the transitoriness of this life.
