Biography
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".
