Wiliam Midleton (c.1550 – c. 1596) was a Welsh language poet. He was born into a prosperous family that had been the patrons of poets. He learnt the craft of Welsh bardic poets and around 1594 he wrote ''Bardhoniaeth, neu brydydhiaeth'', which he intended to act as an aid to others who wished to practise the craft. In 1595 Midleton composed a metrical Welsh translation of the Psalms entitled ''Rhann o psalmae Davyd, a phropwyti eraill''. A completed version entitled ''Psalmae y brenhinol brophwyd Dafydh'' was published posthumously in 1603. ==References== *''Barddoniaeth neu brydyddiaeth'': gan Wiliam Midleton, ed. G. J.
