 Some of these medieval poets were known by a pseudonym, for example Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr ("Cynddelw the Master Poet"), fl.1155–1200 and Iolo Goch ("Iolo the Red"), c. 1320 – c. 1398.The practice seems to have very ancient antecedents, as in the names of the presumably 6th century poets Talhaearn Tad Awen, Blwchfardd and Culfardd, mentioned by the Welsh historian Nennius alongside Taliesin and Aneirin, the last referred to as "Aneurin Gwenithwawd" ("Aneurin of the Corn Poetry").
