Y Gododin is a historical Welsh poem, believed to have been written by the poet Aneirin in the 6th century. The poem tells the story of the Battle of Catraeth, which took place in the early 6th century between the Brythonic-speaking people of Gododdin and the invading Angles. The Gododdin warriors, led by their king Mynyddog Mwynfawr, fought bravely but ultimately suffered a devastating defeat. The poem is notable for its vivid descriptions of battle and its elegiac tone, mourning the loss of the brave warriors who fought and died at Catraeth. The language of Y Gododin is archaic and poetic, making it a challenging but rewarding read for those interested in Welsh history and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
