Poem to Cynog from the second half of the fifteenth century by Dafydd Epynt, who was probably from Merthyr Cynog.

This poem is more allusive than Hywel Dafi's roughly contemporary poem to the same saint, but it is suggestive of similar traditions. He relates that Cynog had been king in Ireland and renounced his throne for a religious life in Wales. Here he killed at least one monster, with the help of his torque, but was beheaded in the end. Certain details ⁠– such as his need to flee from vengeful Irishmen, or his youthful hunting of salmon, duck and stag ⁠– are unique to this text.
