Hello, I was wondering if Welsh medieval kings commonly wrote their own speeches, or if someone else wrote them? I don’t really care too much what time period the answer is from bc I just need it for a King Arthur fantasy thing and I’m at those odd times where I actually need to be correct. If y’all would prefer a set time, around the 5th century would be most accurate.
This question isn't possible to answer for your time frame. The 5-6th centuries contain only one literary source, and its a polemic work by a monk exhorting the people of Britain to stop sinning. The only archaeological sources are brief inscriptions. Neither of these deal with the speeches of kings. Is there another time period you may be interested in?
