Unbennaeth Prydain
text:
Unbennaeth or Unbeinyaeth Prydein was an Old Welsh composition that served as a kind of national anthem in Wales in the Early Middle Ages. The bards of the royal courts of Aberffraw, Dinefwr, Mathrafal, and Caerleon were required by law to follow the army and recite the song before and after every battle. For this service, he received the next-best beast from the spoils after the king's and was valued at 126 cows. Although the specific composition is now lost, it presumably recounted the exploit
