Evidence

Carr (p. 211) gives, with his translation, Tudur Penllyn's praise for Elizabeth's hair:

Ail Degau sydd i’w neuadd,

Ni chair yr un uwch o radd,

A’r wedd i hon o ruddaur,

Elsbeth a’i phleth bwrffil aur.

Mawr fu stad ei thad a’i thaid,

Merch ac ŵr marchog euraid,

Santes o’r arglwyddesau,

Seren Gaer o’r aur sy’n gwau.

[A second Tegau who is to her hall,

There is none of higher degree,

And her appearance of red gold,

Elsbeth and her cascading tresses.

The estate of her father and her grandfather was great,

Daughter and granddaughter of a golden knight,

A saint among noblewomen,

Star of Chester of the woven gold.]
