Gofraidh mac Briain Mac an Bhaird, Gaelic-Irish bardic poet, fl. 16th-century.
A member of the Mac an Bhaird family of professional poets, Gofraidh is known from three surviving poems, Lámh indiu im thionnsgnamh, a Thríonóid, Dairt sonn dá seoladh go Tadhg and Doirbh don chéidsheal cinneamhuin tairngeartaigh.
Diarmaid Mac an Bhaird, fl. 1670, was an Irish poet.
The Mac an Bháird family was one of the learned families of late medieval Ireland. The name has evolved over many centuries, the anglicised forms coming down as MacAward, McWard, MacEward, MacEvard, Macanward, M'Ward, and its most commonly used variant today: Ward. The name means 'son of the bard' and has no connection with the English name Ward, which originated from the Saxon word weard meaning watchman or guardian. Additionally, considerable numbers of Latin, French, and Spanish variants can be found in Continental records: Vardeo, Bardeo, U Bart, Wardeum, Vyardes, Wardeus, not to mention Verdaeorum familiae: the Ward family.
The Ó Dálaigh were a learned Irish bardic family who first came to prominence early in the 12th century, when Cú Connacht Ó Dálaigh was described as "The first Ollamh of poetry in all Ireland".
Bardic poetry is the writings produced by a class of poets trained in the bardic schools of Ireland and the Gaelic parts of Scotland, as they existed down to about the middle of the 17th century or, in Scotland, the early 18th century. Most of the texts preserved are in Middle Irish or in early Modern Irish, however, even though the manuscripts were very plentiful, very few have been published. It is considered a period of great literary stability due to the formalised literary language that changed very little.
