Pre 6th Century
No works by Welsh poets prior to the 6th century have survived. Tradition records:
- Maelgwyn of Llandaff (c. 450) - said, according to one source, to have written of Joseph of Arimathea's burial at Glastonbury. However in the mid-5th century he would have spoken Brythonic, not Welsh, and as a monk would probably have written in Latin. His existence is doubtful.
- St. Meugan (fl. c. late 5th century) - possibly a court poet to Cadwallon of Gwynedd

Famous quotes containing the word century:
“If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.”
