Iorwerth Beli
Iorwerth Beli (fl. second half of 14th century) was a poet who wrote in the Middle Welsh language. Very little is known of his life.
Iorwerth's only surviving poem expresses his disdain of the Bishop of Bangor (possibly , died 1327), who showed a preference for itinerant musicians over professional poets, and for English-speaking poets over Welsh.
