Taliesin (6th cent.). Bard. Taliesin and
Aneurin were two of the five great bards referred to by
Nennius in his
Historia Brittonum (
c.796). Taliesin's surviving work records the deeds of Urien, king of the Britons, in
Rheged and his struggle against the Anglo-Saxons, just as Aneurin does for
Gododdin: ‘And when I'm grown old, with death hard upon me, I'll not be happy save to praise Urien.’ But establishing the corpus of Taliesin's work has proved difficult and only a few poems in the
Book of Taliesin are accepted by most scholars. He may have come from Powys and settled in Rheged as a resident bard, but his very existence has been strenuously denied by some.
