The National Eisteddfod of Wales dates back to 1176 when it is said that the first Eisteddfod was held. Lord Rhys invited poets and musicians from all over Wales to a grand gathering at his castle in Cardigan. A chair at the Lord's table was awarded to the best poet and musician, a tradition that continues today in the modern Eisteddfod.

The first national eisteddfod was held in 1176 at Cardigan, Wales. It was organized by Lord Rhys, the Prince of Deheubarth, to promote Welsh culture, literature, and music. This event laid the foundation for the eisteddfod tradition, which continues to celebrate Welsh heritage today.
The eisteddfod, a Welsh festival of literature, music, and performance, has its roots in the 12th century, with the earliest recorded competitions taking place in the 1170s. The modern eisteddfod, particularly the National Eisteddfod of Wales, was established in the 19th century, with its first official event held in 1861. Since then, it has become a significant cultural celebration, showcasing Welsh language and heritage.
