Guto'r Glyn

Guto'r Glyn

Guto'r Glyn (c. 1435 – c. 1493) was a Welsh language poet who composed poems addressed to a number of fifteenth century noblemen.

Guto is associated with Glyn Ceiriog (in the modern Wrexham county borough) of north-east Wales where some of his patrons lived. He also wrote poems for other patrons in the four corners of Wales whose houses he visited on his journeys. He was a master of the praise tradition in poetry. Guto was also a soldier who fought on the Yorkist side during the Wars of the Roses, and composed poems in praise of King Edward IV and prominent Yorkists such as William Herbert. He spent his last years as a lay guest at the Cistercian abbey of Valle Crucis, near Llangollen.
