Gutun Owain
Gutun Owain (fl. 1456-1497) was a Welsh language poet. Gutun Owain was born near Oswestry in what is now north Shropshire and was a student of Dafydd ab Edmwnd.
Gutun Owain was closely associated with the Cistercian abbey of Valle Crucis where he was the principal scribe of the S text of Brenhinoedd y Saeson preserved in Llfyr Du Basing, 'The Black Book of Basingwerk', and where he may have been responsible for the continuation of that chronicle from 1333 to its end in 1461 (Dumville 2005).
