Giraldus Cambrensis, Gerald of Wales, speaking of the bows used by the Welsh men of Gwent, says: " They are made neither of horn, ash nor yew, but of elm ; ugly unfinished-looking weapons, but astonishingly stiff, large and strong, and equally capable of use for long or short shooting.

Gerald of Wales commented on the power of the Welsh longbow in the 12th century:

Forty years after these events, the scholar, Gerald of Wales, in a rare quote from these times, wrote what Owain Gwynedd said to his troops on the eve of battle:

Gerald of Wales ( c. 1146 – c. 1223 ), also known as Gerallt Gymro in Welsh or Giraldus Cambrensis in Latin, archdeacon of Brecon, was a medieval clergyman and chronicler of his times.

Gerald was son of William FitzOdo de Barry ( or Barri ), the common ancestor of the Barry family in Ireland and one of the most powerful Anglo-Norman barons in Wales at that time.

Having thus demonstrated his usefulness, Gerald was selected to accompany the Archbishop of Canterbury, Baldwin of Forde, on a tour of Wales in 1188, the object being a recruitment campaign for the Third Crusade.

Gerald returned, and his cause was now supported by the Princes of Wales, most notably Llywelyn the Great, and Gruffydd ap Rhys II, while King John, frequently in conflict with the Welsh, warmly espoused the cause of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

After this long struggle, the chapter of St. David's deserted Gerald, and having been obliged to leave Wales, he fled to Rome.

Gerald maintained that fear of the effect that his appointment would have on the national politics in Wales had prevented his appointment.

Gerald spent the remainder of his life in academic study, most likely in Lincoln, producing works of devotional instruction and politics, and revising the works on Ireland and Wales he had written earlier in his life.

Finally, in Descriptio Cambriae, Gerald penned the following words that give so much pride to Welsh singers of today, especially those who participate in the immensely popular Cymanfaoedd Canu ( hymn-singing festivals ) held throughout Wales and North America:
