ArchdruidArchdruid (Archdderwydd) is the title used by the presiding official of the Gorsedd. The Archdruid presides over the most important ceremonies at the National Eisteddfod of Wales including the Crowning of the Bard, the award of the Prose Medal and the Chairing of the Bard. Although Iolo Morganwg was the first to preside over the Gorsedd when the National Eisteddfod came into being, his successor David Griffith, under the bardic name "Clwydfardd", was the first to be known by the official title "Archdruid".
RhonddaRhondda ˈrɒnðə, or the Rhondda Valley (Cwm Rhondda kʊm ˈr̥ɔnða), is a former coalmining area in South Wales, historically in the county of Glamorgan. It takes its name from the River Rhondda, and embraces two valleys – the larger Rhondda Fawr valley (mawr large) and the smaller Rhondda Fach valley (bach small) – so that the singular "Rhondda Valley" and the plural are both commonly used. The area forms part of the South Wales Valleys. From 1897 until 1996 there was a local government district of Rhondda.

Medieval Welsh literatureMedieval Welsh literature is the literature written in the Welsh language during the Middle Ages. This includes material starting from the 5th century AD, when Welsh was in the process of becoming distinct from Common Brittonic, and continuing to the works of the 16th century. The Welsh language became distinct from other dialects of Old British sometime between AD 400 and 700; the earliest surviving literature in Welsh is poetry dating from this period.
Mythologie celtique brittoniqueLa mythologie celtique galloise, celle des Celtes brittoniques de la protohistoire, nous est parvenue de manière très altérée et lacunaire par des manuscrits du Moyen Âge, tels le Llyfr Coch Hergest (Livre Rouge de Hergest), le Llyfr Gwyn Rhydderch (Livre Blanc de Rhydderch), le Livre d'Aneurin, le Livre de Taliesin et le Llyfr Du Caerfyrddin (Livre Noir de Carmarthen).
