A Welsh poem in the Book of Taliesin, where it is headed Kadeir Teÿrnon. The text has been notoriously resilient to an easy interpretation. One line of interpretation suggests that the poem begins by eulogising an unnamed hero, descendant of a certain Aladur, that his identity gradually emerges through a series of narrative allusions and that towards the end of the poem, the subject is finally revealed to be Arthur.

An awdl of 16 lines in the Black Book of Carmarthen, in which a repentant speaker expresses hope for reconciliation and conjures images of the sea. The narrative background remains obscure. Bromwich argued that the two subsequent englynion in the manuscript belong to the same poem and that the full poem alludes to a version of the Tristan legend. Rowland has been more sceptical of this view and has suggested instead that it is a court poem in which a bardic poet seeks reconciliation with his patron.
Medieval Welsh poem of 7 englynion, each beginning Mi a wum lle llas... (‘I have been where [...] was/were slain’). It is attested in the Black Book of Carmarthen, following Ymddiddan Gwyddno Garanhir a Gwyn ap Nudd (‘The conversation of Gwyddno Garanhir and Gwyn ap Nudd’) without a visual break. It is not entirely clear if the present piece should be regarded as a separate composition or a part of the previous conversation.
