Llywarch Hen

Llywarch Hen (doslovno 'Llywarch Stari'; 6. vijek) bio je princ britskog (post-rimskog) kraljevstva Rheged koje je priadalo Hen Ogleddu ('Stari Sjever', današnja južna Škotska i sjeverna Engleska). Otac mu je bio kralj Cynfarch Oer, a nećak kralj Urien. Poznat je prije svega kao protagonist danas izgubljene velške srednjovjekovne pjesme u kojoj izražava žaljenje zbog smrti svog nećaka Uriena te dolazi u Rheged sa njegovom odrezanom glavom; nakon što se protiv njega okrenu rhegedski plemići, Llywarch pronalazi utočište na jugu, u Powysu.
