LLYWELYN ap RHISIART (fl. 1520-1565), Chief Bard of the Three Provinces', and one of the most notable poets in the history of Glamorgan observe how the interests of the aristocracy were being tightly bound to the throne by the gift of appointments and monastic possessions.

LLOYD, Sir JOHN EDWARD (1861 - 1947), historian, and first editor of Y Bywgraffiadur Cymreig restricted himself, in his published work, to the period on which he had begun writing as far back as 1884. But he was persuaded to move to a later period when he was elected Oxford Ford Lecturer in 1931. He chose as his subject the history of Owain Glyn Dŵr, and the work was published under the title Owen Glendower (the title was chosen by the press) in 1931. Once again the author's characteristics can be

LLYWELYN GOCH Y DANT (fl. 1470-1471), bard of Pembroke, at Chepstow, in 1471 - this elegy contains a violent attack upon Jasper Tudor. He also wrote an awdl, in unusual metres, upon the abbey of Neath. And that is all that survives of his compositions. Ieuan Du'r Bilwg describes him in a cywydd as a chief-of-song and an outstanding composer of poems in praise of men. Lewis Glyn Cothi suggests, in a poem to John ap David (Works, 108), that
