About Richard Hughes

Richard Hughes, known in Welsh as Dic Huws, was a Welsh-language poet originally from near Llanbedrog in the Llŷn Peninsula, north-west Wales, though most of his adult life was spent in England at the courts of Elizabeth I and James I. Some of his englynion, poems written in one of the Welsh strict metres, have survived, but he is better known for his love lyrics in the free metres. Three of his poems were selected by Thomas Parry for inclusion in The Oxford Book of Welsh Verse.
