Aneurin or Aneirin (ənī`rĭn), fl. c.600, Welsh bard whose reputed writings are contained in a 13th-century manuscript, The Book of Aneirin. Included in this manuscript is Y Gododdin, an elegiac poem of about 1000 lines recording the defeat of an army of northern Britons by the Saxons. The poem is one of the oldest extant works of Welsh literature and contains probably the earliest explicit allusion to King Arthur. How to thank TFD for its existence?

radical Aneurin Bevan, put it, "the great advocate who put the case
of Britain to the world and the destiny of Britain to the British. He chose
the bardic name of ap Aneurin, a tribute both to a 6th-century Welsh
poet and to Aneurin Bevan, the Labour Party politician who founded the
National Health Service. |
