  • LLYWELYN, TOMAS (fl. c. 1580-1610), bard and gentleman , and another a prognostication for the year 1610. In the 19th century he was described as one of the morning stars of Nonconformity in the upper parts ('Blaenau') of Glamorgan; it was said that he had large congregations at Rhigos, Blaencannaid, and other places, and that he translated the English Bible into Welsh. It was Iolo Morganwg who made these statements first; as far as can be judged, they
  • MADOG BENFRAS (fl. c. 1320-1360), poet of Marchwiail, Denbighshire. His pedigree is given in Powys Fadog thus: ' Madog Benfras ap Gruffudd ap Iorwerth, arglwydd Sonlli, ab Einion Goch ab Ieuaf ap Llywarch ap Ieuaf ap Niniaw ap Cynfrig ap Rhiwallawn.' His two brothers, Llywelyn Llogell (parish priest of Marchwiail), and Ednyfed, were also poets; according to Iolo Morganwg their bardic teacher was Llywelyn ap Gwilym of Emlyn. Iolo also
  • MAREDUDD ap RHOSER (fl. c. 1530), poet who may have been a native of South Wales. No proof is available for connecting him, as Iolo Morganwg did, with Meisgyn (Miskin) in Glamorgan. Examples of his work exist in MSS., including a love poem, an awdl in praise of Ewyas, an elegy to Sir Charles Herbert, another to reconcile William Herbert of Colebrook with William Siôn ap Rhoser of Wern-ddu, and poems in praise of William Evans
  • MERRICK, RICE (bu farw 1586-7), landed gentleman, genealogist, and historian collaborated. He wrote a book on the history of Glamorgan, and Iolo Morganwg says that he saw it in the library at Hafod, Cardiganshire. It can, therefore, be assumed that this was one of the volumes lost when that library went on fire in 1807. A copy made c. 1660-80 is in the library of the Queen's College, Oxford; this copy was published by Sir Thomas Phillipps at his private press, Middle Hill, in 1825
  • MEURIG (fl. 1210), poet, and treasurer of Llandaff render the entry 'Morus Morgan' in Enw F. superfluous. In the Iolo MSS., pp. 622, 638, this Meurig is said to have been the author of ' Y Cwtta Cyfarwydd ' (probably the prototype of the work of this name written in 1445 by Gwilym Tew, and preserved in Hengwrt MS. 34), 'A History of the whole Isle of Britain,' 'Book of Proverbs,' 'Rules of Welsh Poetry,' 'Welsh Theology,' and a 'Welsh translation of
  • MORGAN, OWEN (Morien; 1836? - 1921), journalist and miscellaneous writer ., reflect the influence of Iolo Morganwg's fictions, and more immediately Morien's close association with Myfyr Morganwg, on whose death he assumed the title of ' archdruid,' in succession. His History of Pontypridd and the Rhondda Valleys (Pontypridd, 1903), an odd jumble of 'Druidism,' mythology, topography, local history and biography, is yet not without value, for its information on the 19th century
  • MORGAN, RHYS (c. 1700 - c. 1775), poet living in the farmhouse of Pencraig-nedd in the parish of Cadoxton in the Vale of Neath. It is possible, although this cannot be proved definitely, that he was one of the descendants of Thomas Llywelyn of Rhigos. Iolo Morganwg says that he was carpenter, weaver, harpist, and a preacher with the Nonconformists. It is tolerably certain that he was a member at the ' Hen dŷ Cwrdd ' ('Old Meeting
  • MORGAN, THOMAS (1737 - 1813), Unitarian minister students over 23. Still [ Iolo Morganwg says he was at Carmarthen, and], the dates would fit; and Dr. Jenkin Jenkins, the tutor, was certainly present at Morgan's ordination as pastor at Blaen-gwrach (in the Vale of Neath), 1 July 1772. That church had long turned its back on Calvinism, and was then Arian, and we know that Morgan himself had become a Unitarian by 1802 at least - he was then a member of
  • MORGAN, THOMAS REES (1834 - 1897), mechanical engineer and manufacturer, and inventor Born 31 March 1834 at Penydarren, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire. He worked in the mines until he had an accident, at the age of ten, which resulted in the loss of the left leg below the knee. After the accident he attended schools taught by John Thomas (Ieuan Ddu), Owen Evans, and Taliesin Williams (Taliesin ab Iolo). He developed, under the tuition of Taliesin Williams, a special fondness for
  • MORRIS, RICHARD (1703 - 1779), founder of the Cymmrodorion Society Born 2 February 1702-3 at Y Fferem, Llanfihangel-tre'r-beirdd, Anglesey, son of Morris ap Rhisiart Morris and brother of Lewis, William, and John Morris. He worked at first in his father's workshop, and we have (in his own hand) a list of implements made there by him at 15. According to the papers of the late Iolo A. Williams, Richard went to London on 1 August 1722 and his brother Lewis on 7 May
  • MORRIS-JONES, Sir JOHN (MORRIS) (1864 - 1929), scholar, poet, and critic Gorsedd's origin to the imagination of Iolo Morganwg, in the preface which he wrote to G. J. Williams's Iolo Morganwg a Chywyddau'r Ychwanegiad, 1926. Morris-Jones embarked early on his campaign to standardize Welsh orthography. This subject had been discussed by Cymdeithas Dafydd ab Gwilym, under Rhys's chairmanship, in 1888. In 1893 the Society for the Utilization of the Welsh Language published Welsh
  • MORTIMER, ROGER de (4th earl of March, 4th earl of Ulster), (1374 - 1398) bravery and generosity, while yet noticing his dissolute conduct. Richard II was childless, and intrigues for the succession were afoot among Edward III's other descendants. The king took an important step in 1385, when he acknowledged Roger de Mortimer as his heir, knighting him in 1390, and appointing him in 1397 deputy ruler of all Ireland. Probably this was the occasion which moved Iolo Goch, a man
