 Geraint the Blue Bard

Geraint the Blue Bard () is a reputed 9th century Welsh bard and harpist, although modern scholars are dismissive of his existence.He has been definitively shown by Welsh scholar G. J. Williams to be the invention of Iolo Morganwg, a talented author and antiquarian now infamous for his numerous literary forgeries.Iolo called him Geraint Fardd Glas or Y Bardd Glas o'r Gadair ("the Blue Bard of the (Bardic) Chair") and associated him with his version of the early history of Morgannwg (Glamorgan).
