Editing Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (section)

== In popular culture ==
The 1982 [[Chairing of the Bard|Bardic Chair]] at the [[National Eisteddfod of Wales]] was awarded to [[Gerallt Lloyd Owen]] for his ''[[awdl]]'' ''Cilmeri'', which [[Hywel Teifi Edwards]] has called the only 20th century ''awdl'', that matches [[T. Gwynn Jones]]' 1902 masterpiece ''[[Ymadawiad Arthur]]'' ("The Passing of Arthur"). Owen's ''Cilmeri'' reimagines the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd in battle near [[Cilmeri|the village of the same name]] on 11 December 1282, while leading his doomed uprising against the occupation of Wales by King [[Edward I of England]]. Owen's poem depicts the Prince as a [[tragic hero]] and invests his fall with an anguish unmatched since [[Gruffudd ab yr Ynad Coch]] wrote his famous lament for the king immediately following his death. Owen also, according to Edwards, encapsulates in the Prince's death the [[Welsh people]]'s continuing "battle for national survival".<ref>Edwards (2016), ''The Eisteddfod'', pp. 51–53.</ref>
