William Williams (Crwys)

[1] Like all other Archdruids, Crwys had himself won several major prizes at the National Eisteddfod.

He was a three-time winner of the crown: at Colwyn Bay in 1910, at Carmarthen in 1911, and at Corwen in 1919.

A cast bronze bust in honour of the poet is on display at Carmarthen Castle.

Crwys's work tended to idealise life in rural Wales.

[2] His winning poem at the 1911 eisteddfod praised the "common people of Wales".
