Aneurin

Aneurin, an ancient British bard, whose birth is fixed in 510 A.D. He was a chief amongst the Olodinian tribe, and escaped with only three others, after the battle of Cattraeth, to the court of Arthur, where he became the friend of Taliesin. He wrote a poem on the battle, and this, with his Odes of the Months, is all that is extant of his compositions. Some identify him with the historian Gildas.
