Archdruid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Archdruid is the title used by the presiding official at the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

The Archdruid presides over the most important ceremonies at the Eisteddfod, including the Crowning of the Bard and Chairing of the Bard, and must himself be a former winner of one of these awards.

No woman has as yet been Archdruid.
