Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Eluned Phillips (27 October 1914 – 10 January 2009) was the only woman to win the bardic crown at the National Eisteddfod of Wales twice, a feat she accomplished in 1967 at Bala and 1983 at Llangefni.[1]

Phillips was born in Cenarth, on the same day that Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea. She knew Thomas well, but did not number him among her close friends.[2] Her friends included Augustus John and Edith Piaf. It has been said that Pablo Picasso showed her the original of "Guernica" shortly after he completed it.[3]

She died of pneumonia, aged 94, at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen. At the time of her death she was the oldest member of the Gorsedd of Bards.
