Ieuan Dyfi (c. 1461? – c. 1500?) was a Welsh language poet.
Poetry
Very little information has survived relating to Ieuan and his poetry. Ieuan composed a poem to a woman named “Anni Goch” in which he accuses how false women have been throughout history ("Anni Goch," however, may well be a stock character). This provoked Gwerful Mechain to respond with her poem “I Wragedd Eiddigeddus”.[1]
