The Eisteddfod is Wales’s foremost cultural event, celebrating
poetry, singing and other arts. Welsh eisteddfodau have a very
ancient history, supposedly dating from pre-Roman times. It can be
traced with certainty to an event at Cardigan castle in 1176 and was
an established tradition by the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Thereafter it declined but was revived towards the late 18th century
by emergent London Welsh learned societies and Edward Williams
(known as lolo Morganwg). From 1881 the eisteddfod has been more
closely regulated than beforehand, with strict rules on how poems 662 British commonwealth games, Edinburgh, 1970, bronze
are structured and for example, the form of music composed for the commemorative medals by T. H. Paget (14), in perspex
harp. Ii was also decided that the event be held annually, alternating
holders as issued (Eim. 2121; cf. Dyer, NC 1980. 175).
