An early Welsh prophetic poem which envisages a future in which the Welsh will join forces with other peoples of Britain and Ireland to resist and drive out the English.
A series of nine Early Welsh englynion which elude to a legend about the inundation of Maes Gwyddno, ‘Gwyddno’s plain’, possibly in what is now Cardigan Bay or the Conway estuary. The disaster is said to have happened after a fountain-cupbearer (finaun wenestir) known as Mererid neglected her duty of guarding a certain well, which was subsequently allowed to overflow and submerge the land.

A collection of early Welsh poems in englyn form, most of which are attributed to an elderly Llywarch Hen, a legendary prince of the Old North.
A collection of englynion mourning the death of Urien, ruler of Rheged, which is attested in the Red Book of Hergest.
Late medieval poem arranged in twelve stanzas about the months of the year. Contrary to what the title suggests, the verses are not englynion, but each usually consists of eight heptasyllabic lines.
Two englynion in the Black Book of Carmarthen which appear to allude to a version of the Tristan legend. Mention is made of Tristan (Diristan), Mark (March) and Cyheig. The englynion have often been treated together with the awdl preceding them in the manuscript (beg. Kyd karhwiu e morva cassaau e mor), because both name a figure called Cyheig and because there has been an assumption, though now contested, that they are united through a narrative background in the Tristan legend.
