  • Arfau'r Beirdd 1
    Pennod 1: Cyflwyniad 1.1 Arfau a‘r Bardd Yn y gynharaf o‘r llawysgrifau sy‘n cynnwys y Gramadegau barddol a briodolir i Einion Offeiriad a Dafydd Ddu, sef llsgr. Peniarth 20, dywedir y dylid moli arglwydd o’y gedernyt, a’y dewred, a’y vilwryaeth. Daw hyn ar frig rhestr o nodweddion eraill, gan gyfeirio hefyd at allu ar wyr a meirch ac arueu, ac adurnyant gwisgoed ac arueu a thlysseu.1 Er bod y ‗Gramadegau‘ wedi eu hysgrifennu rai degawdau ar ôl y cerddi diweddarach a ystyrir yn yr astudiaeth hon, adlewyrchant yn deg bwysigrwyddd arfau fel rhan o ‗arfogaeth‘ lenyddol y beirdd drwy‘r Oesoedd Canol: caiff arfau eu defnyddio wrth foli gwrhydri a milwriaeth, ac fel rhan o ddarlun arwrol o wrthrych cerdd a awgrymai harddwch personol, cyfoeth a statws yn ogystal â rhinweddau milwrol.2 Nid i ganu mawl i arglwyddi yr oedd arfau‘n gyfyngedig, ychwaith, – fe‘u gwelir mewn cerddi i osgorddion ac i swyddogion, ac mewn cerddi mawl a cherddi ymffrost sy‘n darlunio‘r bardd ei hun fel rhyfelwr. Ac fe‘u defnyddid yn symbolaidd, yn ffigurol neu‘n drosiadol mewn amrediad eang o genres gan gynnwys canu crefyddol a cherddi i wragedd yn ogystal â chanu mawl i wrthrychau gwrywaidd. Nid yw‘n syndod fod y beirdd wedi gwneud defnydd mor helaeth o arfau yn eu cerddi. Mae croniclau megis Brut y Tywysogion yn tystio i hollbresenoldeb brwydro drwy gyfnod y Tywysogion, a‘r tywysogion eu hunain, fel llywodraethwyr canoloesol eraill, yn aml yn defnyddio dulliau arfog wrth adeiladu neu amddiffyn eu teyrnasoedd.3 Mynegwyd y ffaith 1 G.J Williams and E.J.

  • The Move in the Second Tetralogy from Heraldic Achievements And
    The Second Tetralogy’s Move from Achievements to Badges Ceri Sullivan, Cardiff University In passionate response to the king’s insistence that the crown should get any prisoners of war, Hotspur famously reaches for the moon: By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon, Or dive into the bottom of the deep... And pluck up drowned honour by the locks, So he that doth redeem her thence might wear, Without corrival, all her dignities. But out upon this half-faced fellowship! (1 Henry IV 1.3.200-207)1 Most comment follows Northumberland and Worcester in thinking Hotspur is spouting ‘a world of figures/… But not the form of what he should attend’ (1.3.208-9). It gets called empty huffing, suitable for an apprentice’s audition piece, as in the Induction to The Knight of the Burning Pestle (c. 1607). The lines do not seem to require much more: ‘bright honour’ is a conventional collocation in the sixteenth century (here, shining like the disc of the moon) and ‘drowned honour’ is a hairy personification, perhaps a bit muddy from lying around on the bottom. In either state, the honour (a concrete dignity) should be captured and worn by one man alone. The only historical gloss editors offer is a suggestion that ‘half-faced’ may refer to the paired profiles of Philip and Mary on the Marian shilling. Leslie Hotson noted a reference to the Percy badge: the crescent moon.2 However, he did not point out that the Percy silver crescent moon usually encloses a fetterlock (a double manacle, which locks two fists together).

  • Adar Yng Ngwaith Y Cywyddwyr
    Adar yng Ngwaith y Cywyddwyr Arthur Howard Williams Traethawd a gyflwynir am radd PhD Prifysgol Aberystwyth 2014 CRYNODEB Yn y traethawd hwn astudir yr ymdriniaeth â’r adar yn y farddoniaeth Gymraeg gaeth a luniwyd rhwng tua 1300 a 1600. Yn bennaf, gwaith y Cywyddwyr a ystyrir ond cymerir peth sylw o feirdd y bedwaredd ganrif ar ddeg nad oeddent yn cyfansoddi cywyddau. Ar ôl rhagarweiniad byr rhennir y traethawd yn bum prif bennod. Ym Mhennod 2 ystyrir y ffyrdd yr edrychid ar y byd naturiol trwy Ewrop, yn enwedig ar y syniadaeth a etifeddwyd o’r Oes Glasurol ac ar fydolwg Cristnogol y cyfnod, a hwnnw’n anochel lywodraethol. Ymwna Pennod 3 â chywyddau gofyn a diolch am adar a genid o 1450 ymlaen, am elyrch, peunod, ffesantod ac yn enwedig adar hela. Mae Pennod 4 yn ymdrin â swyddogaethau adar o sawl math fel llateion yn y canu serch ac, yn yr unfed ganrif ar ddeg, fel negeswyr a yrrid at noddwyr, cyfeillion a pherthnasau i’w hannerch. Edrychir hefyd ar rôl adar a gynghorai’r bardd ei hunan. Ym Mhennod 5 troir at gerddi lle erys yr adar yn eu cynefin naturiol, yn bennaf at rôl yr adar bychain yn y canu serch a luniwyd gan Ddafydd ap Gwilym a’i olynwyr ond hefyd at gerddi am adar nad ystyrid mor glodwiw, megis y cyffylog ac yn enwedig y dylluan. Yn y bennod sylweddol olaf (Pennod 6) ystyrir y defnydd o adar i greu trosiadau ym mhob genre yn y canu. Mae hyn yn cwmpasu nid yn unig y darluniadau o’r uchelwyr fel adar ysglyfaethus o bob math ond hefyd y defnydd o beunod, elyrch a gwylanod at ddibenion y canu mawl.

Jones with assistance from Tony Scharer Geraldine Thomas Frances Richardson © Crown copyright: Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales: Dating Old Welsh Houses: North West Wales Dendrochronology Project 1 Coed y Ffynnon Bro Machno Conwy 24/4/2012 NGR: 280381, 353028 Grade II* “Coed-y-Ffynnon is one of the best built in the district; its roof is of huge oak beams and decorated, and it stands in one of the loveliest spots in the parish, facing almost due east. From the old Hall can be seen the whole county as far as Plas Iolyn, in Cerrig-y-Drydion and along the face of Hiraethog to Hafodty, home of Lord Penrhyn, in Glan Conway, and the view of it from a distance is excellent. ................ A little lower down we find Pandy, which was formerly called Y Pentre. .......... The slope between Coed y Ffynnon and Pandy is covered with oak trees of gigantic size, and they have reached the beauty of maturity; there is talk of cutting them next Spring and a great pity if so, for old Wales owes to them one of its chief distinctions. We are sure that they many times sheltered and protected Hugh Machno as he composed his intricate poetry. ” (From Gethin Jones' essay on Penmachno written in the mid 19th century.) Owen Gethin Jones (1816-83). He was probably the most prominent person to come from Penmachno after the Bishop Morgan who translated the Bible into Welsh.

  • Welsh Genealogy and Heraldry
    WELSH GENEALOGY AND HERALDRY Jacob Chaloner’s MS 1973 fo. 17v ‘Beamond of Bachelldre’ An earlier article in the NLW Journal 1, 12 addressed Welsh-Border Surnames from ‘ab Edmond’, and made reference to the family arms ‘Beamond of Clun’. This ‘ab Edmond’ family lived at Bachelldre in Churchstoke parish; their coat of arms was depicted by Jacob Chaloner 2, 3. The coat is shown in Illustration 1. In the present day, Dr. Michael Siddons 4 has given a blazon of the coat of arms, and the family’s pedigree has been delineated by Dr. Peter Bartrum in his Welsh Genealogies 5. In his 4-volume series The Development of Welsh Heraldry 4 Dr. Siddons raises a query against the ‘penultimate’ quartering of the coat. That quartering is shown in Illustration 2 (for clarity extracted from Illustration 1) and, in a recent communication 6, Dr. Siddons writes ‘there is no doubt that the coat [in Illustration 2] is a mixture of a bird in her piety and a bird preying on another’. In the face of this confusion, how should the coat be identified? We note that, apart from the last quartering, the quarterings in Illustration 1 reflect lines of descent. Turning to Dr. Bartrum’s genealogy Elystan Glodrydd 28 5, which relates to the Bachelldre ‘ab Edmond’ family, we learn that Cadwgon, great grandfather of Edmond of Bachelldre, was married to Gwenllian, daughter of Gruffudd Ffordun. And Gruffudd’s ancestral line, a subject of Dr. Bartrum’s William of Elbeth 4 7, shows Gruffudd’s descent from Sir Robert ap Madog of Brompton.

  • Brycheiniog: English Translations of Welsh Articles
    Brycheiniog: English Translations of Welsh Articles Brycheiniog Volume XLIX (2018): The Twelve Companions of Anlach, Brynach Parry, pages 133-41. The number twelve occurs a significant number of times in the early myths, legends and histories concerning the foundation of the ancient Kingdom of Brycheiniog. Numbers do, of course, have a magical significance in many of mankind's religions, legends and mythologies, and are frequently used as a rough representation of a total – 2, 40, 100, 300 - rather than as a precise number. The fact that both Welsh and Breton treat the number between 17 and 19 – deunaw and tric'hwec'h – differently from those on either side suggests that 18 had some magical quality in the minds of our common Brythonic ancestors. As is the case with widespread taboos against mentioning the name of certain animals or objects1, both languages avoid using the number that could logically be expected in the series, namely 'tri-ar-bymtheg' or 'eizhtek', preferring to use instead a multiple of other magical numbers - (2x9, 3x6). Apart from the mathematical power and usefulness of the number twelve2, it is also an extremely potent example of the importance of numbers in terms of religion and mythology all over the world. The two documents that relate the story of the establishment of the Kingdom of Brycheiniog, namely De Situ Brecheniauc3 and Cognatio Brychan4, are considered to be some of the earliest vernacular records in the whole of Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire5. Despite the fact that they are written in Latin and that they are late copies (De Situ - 13th Century and Cognatio - 17th Century) of much earlier documents, as evidenced by the forms of the Welsh place-names in them, they offer us the 'official' foundation history or mythology of early Brycheiniog.
