CYNAN ab OWAIN (bu farw 1174), prince was the son of Owain Gwynedd by an unknown mother.

DAVIES, ELIZABETH (1789 - 1860), Crimean nurse Daughter of Dafydd Cadwaladr, born 24 May 1789 and christened 26 May at Llanycil (Bala). All our knowledge of her life comes from the Autobiography of Elizabeth Davis (two vols., 1857), compiled by Jane Williams, Ysgafell, from notes of her conversation.
