Description
Y Gododdin-A Poem of the Battle of Cattraeth is a medieval Welsh poem that tells the story of the men who died fighting in a battle around AD 600. It is traditionally attributed to the bard Aneurin, although its exact date and authorship are still debated among scholars. The poem survives only in one manuscript, the Book of Aneirin, which dates back to the later 13th century. However, based on linguistic analysis, it is believed to have been written much earlier, possibly as soon as after the battle itself. The text combines elements of Middle Welsh and Old Welsh orthography, reflecting its complex history. This poem is significant not only for its literary value but also for its historical importance, providing a unique glimpse into the culture and traditions of medieval Wales.
