Dafydd Alaw

Dafydd Alaw (fl. 1550) was a Welsh poet about whom little is known. He is thought to have been a native of the Isle of Anglesey and a bardic disciple of Lewys Môn (as he commemorated him in an elegy).[1] His surviving works (c. 1535–70) are mainly cywyddau and awdlau which praise members of some of the principal county families of Anglesey.[2]
