Tulsidas
Tulsidas (16th century) was a saint of the saguna Bhakti tradition devoted to Lord Rama. His greatest work, the Ramcharitmanas, retells the Ramayana in the Awadhi dialect of Hindi, making the story of Rama accessible to common people.
Kabir was a nirguna saint who rejected idol worship and composed dohas in a mixed vernacular (Sadhukkadi); Surdas was a devotee of Krishna who wrote the Sursagar in Braj Bhasha; Namdev was a Marathi saint devoted to Vitthala (Vithoba) of Pandharpur.
Hence, the saint who propagated devotion to Rama in Awadhi was Tulsidas.
