Tudur Aled

Tudur Aled (c. 1465 – 1525) was a late medieval Welsh poet, born in Llansannan, Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych).

A remark by him in his elegy to Dafydd ab Edmwnd suggests that Tudur Aled was his pupil.

An allusion to the Battle of Bosworth Field (1485) has been suspected in his cywydd to Sir William Gruffudd the Chamberlain.

[1] Tudur Aled was himself a nobleman and one of the foremost Beirdd yr Uchelwyr (Poets of the Nobility).

His main patrons were the Salisbury family of Dyffryn Clwyd, and Rhys ap Thomas.
