#welsh bard

A period piece about the composition of Y Gododdin by the Welsh bard Aneirin. While the film is almost entirely about the development of old and middle Welsh poetry, the end of the film teases the Arthurian legend as one stanza obliquely references King Arthur, setting up a series of other films about literary references to the character.

"The Bard" by John Martin: a romantic vision of a single Welsh bard escaping a massacre ordered by Edward I of England, intended to destroy Welsh culture.

Geraint is a character from Welsh folklore and Arthurian legend, a king of Dumnonia and a valiant warrior. He may have lived during or shortly prior to the reign of the historical Arthur, but some scholars doubt he ever existed. The name is a Welsh form of the Latin Gerontius. (From Wikipedia.)
