Marwnad Gruffudd ab Adda

verse beg. Rhagawr mawr ger mur gwyngalch

Dafydd ap Gwilym

• Middle Welsh
• verse

Medieval Welsh poem by Dafydd ap Gwilym, which has the appearance of being an elegy (marwnad) on poet and musician Gruffudd ap Adda. Scholars such as Rachel Bromwich have suggested that the elegy is a fictitious one (marwnad fflug) and that it was written before the subject’s death with the aim of satirising him.
