ANIAN (bu farw 1306?), bishop of Bangor Succeeded Richard (died 1267) in that see. The chapter had permission to elect on 8 November 1267, and on 12 December the Crown assented to the choice of Master Anian, archdeacon of Anglesey, whose consecration at Canterbury followed before the end of the year. The peace of Montgomery in the previous autumn had left Llywelyn ap Gruffydd as the dominant figure in Welsh affairs, and for a few years
ANIAN (bu farw 1266), bishop of St Asaph chapel of Bruera, a dependency of S. Oswald's, Chester. In 1252 he instituted a cleric in a portion of Rhuddlan, upon the presentation of the king, and in 1254 acted similarly upon the presentation of the prince of Wales. When Llywelyn ap Gruffydd over-ran the Middle Country in 1256 his position became difficult; he received the king's protection on 30 December of that year, on condition that he and
ANIAN (bu farw 1293), bishop of St Asaph career. At the time of his elevation, the diocese was, as the outcome of the treaty of Montgomery, entirely dominated by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. Prince and bishop were, at first, on amicable terms. On 1 May 1269, agreement was reached between them at Mold as to the maintenance of the ancient privileges of the see in the Middle Country. Anian was a party to the settlement between Llywelyn and David

BEBB, WILLIAM AMBROSE (1894 - 1955), historian, prose writer and politician from the earliest period till the sixteenth century. One of them, Hil a hwyl y castell (1946) was a course of lessons delivered on the radio in 1936. The other five form a sequence, though the dates of publication do not follow in chronological order. The first was Ein hen hen hanes (1932), the story of Wales from the earliest times till the fall of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd told in simple language for
BEVAN, LLYWELYN (1661 - 1723), Independent minister
BLEDDYN ap CYNFYN (bu farw 1075), prince He was the son of Cynfyn ap Gwerstan, otherwise unknown, and Angharad, widow of Llywelyn ap Seisyll (died 1023), and mother of the famous Gruffudd ap Llywelyn (died 1063). Late authorities supply Gwerstan with a distinguished pedigree, but the name has the air of being a derivative of the English Werestan. As half-brothers of Gruffudd, Bleddyn and his brother Rhiwallon succeeded to his domains
BLEDDYN FARDD (fl. 1268-1283), one of the bards of the independent Welsh princes Thirteen of his odes are preserved in the NLW MS 6680B: Hendregadredd Manuscript. He sang chiefly to the sons of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn ap Iorwerth and to the chieftains of Gwynedd, but he has one ode to Rhys ap Maredudd ap Rhys of South Wales. His entire work consists of eulogies and elegies, with the exception of his 'Marwysgafn' or last confession. The earliest ode by him which can be dated is
BLIGH, STANLEY PRICE MORGAN (1870 - 1949), landowner and author customs. For worship he had no use, but he found relief in composing metrical prayers, and there was a strong element of mysticism in his makeup. Though a professed Liberal he took little part in politics, but he gave years of valuable service on the county council. When the fourth national conference, circa 1893, failed to reach agreement on the matter, Bligh erected his own memorial to Llywelyn ap
teulu BRAOSE exile in France, supporting the cause of the barons and gaining the adherence of Llywelyn the Great. He recovered possession of the family estates in Wales and on 21 October 1215 made his peace with the Crown, but he died a month later. His brother, REGINALD, seized possession, and not until after the death of John did he come to terms with the Crown, 23 June 1217. Reginald's defection roused the
CADFAN (fl. 550?), saint Meironnydd, which had an abbot as late as 1147 and was served by a group of clerics in 1291. Its wealth and privileges are celebrated about 1240 by Llywelyn Fardd in ' Canu i Gadfan,' and it was the mother church of all Meirionnydd south of the Dysynni. The much discussed ' Stone of S. Cadfan,' despite its present name, bears no reference to the saint.
