Llygad Gŵr

Llygad Gŵr (fl. 1268 or 1258 – c. 1293,) was a Welsh-language poet in the court of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.

His surviving works are a sequence of five awdlau for Llywelyn and four poems that praise the dynasty of Powys Fadog.

In his poetry, he envisions Wales as a single united nation with Llywelyn as its head and supreme power: "the true king of Wales". This has been called "the most 'nationalist' poetry in Welsh before the days of Glyn Dwr".
