Rhys ap Gruffydd
The most famous of these gatherings took place on Christmas Day, 1351. William Ua Cellaig, Chief of the Name and King of Uí Maine in Connaught, held, like Prince Rhys ap Gruffydd, a great competition and feast for the Bards of Ireland. An entire temporary village was erected with separate streets for musicians, "seanchaithe", poets, and jugglers.
