Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr, the foremost bard of Powys in the time of Madog ap Maredudd, composed three poems to Rhirid , one returning thanks to his patron for a fine sword with which he had presented him, and the other two lamenting his hero's premature death, an event which evidently occurred sometime after Madog 's decease in 1160 .
