Gwaith Ieuan Gethin

Description

Bardd-uchelwr o Faglan ger Abertawe oedd Ieuan Gethin, gŵr a gymerodd ran yng ngwrthryfel Owain Glyndŵr ym Morgannwg yn negawd cyntaf y bymthegfed ganrif. Deg cerdd yn unig a gadwyd wrth ei enw, ond y mae amrywiaeth ei bynciau yn fawr, a chawn ganddo arlwy gwahanol i’r cerddi mawl a marwnad arferol a gynhyrchai ei gyfoeswyr proffesiynol.
Ieuan Gethin was a gentleman-poet from Baglan near Swansea (fl 1405-61), who took part in the Owain Glyndŵr rising in Glamorgan in the first decade of the fifteenth century. Only ten of his poems have survived, but their subject matter varies greatly and his fare is quite different to that usually provided by his professional contemporaries.
