Welsh Literature and the Arts Under King Gruffith

Gruffith appears to have been lberately advancing the arts in wales. And it's likely he was doing this because art is an important diplomatic tool, especially when your goal is to unify a group of people who don't necessarily see themselves as having much in common. This could explain why, in walter mapp's accounts, gruffith was linking his rule with the most famous legends that came out of those lands.
