  • NICOLAS, DAFYDD (1705? - 1774), poet T. C. Evans (Cadrawd) thought that he was the man of the same name who was born in Llangynwyd, Glamorganshire, in 1705. According to Cadrawd, the older people spoke of him as one who had kept school in the parish. Iolo Morganwg listed him with the literary men who were self-educated. He lived afterwards in Ystradyfodwg and perhaps in Glyncorrwg and Cwm-gwrach. It is quite possible that he was an
  • PARRY-WILLIAMS, Sir THOMAS HERBERT (1887 - 1975), author and scholar , however, and the teenage Parry-Williams also made the acquaintance of the town's poets, Iolo Caernarfon, Tryfanwy and Eifion Wyn, a friend of his father's. During this period he began to keep his matter-of-fact diary, a habit he maintained for the rest of his life. Parry-Williams matriculated at the University College of Wales Aberystwyth in 1905 and graduated with first class honours in Welsh in 1908
  • POWEL, ANTHONY (c. 1560 - 1618/19), gentleman and genealogist ) is ' Llyfr Du Pantylliwydd ' (N.L.W. Llanover MS. E 3), which contains genealogies and the material usually found in the books by heraldic genealogists; this manuscript is in all probability, in his hand. Iolo Morganwg, however, attributed to him all manner of things - a 'brut' (or chronicle), a history of eisteddfodau, triads, a history of the bards of Glamorgan, etc. Iolo maintained also that
  • POWEL, WATCYN (c. 1600 - 1655) Pen-y-fai, Tir Iarll, gentleman, bard, and genealogist . As far as is known, however, none of his work is extant. All kinds of things are attributed to him in the manuscripts of Iolo Morganwg, but it can be concluded that they are all fictitious. It is possible, nevertheless, that some of them may be based on manuscripts which Iolo had seen in Tir Iarll and the surrounding districts.
  • PRICE, JOSEPH TREGELLES (1784 - 1854), Quaker and ironmaster , biographer of Edward Williams (Iolo Morganwg), while ISAAC REDWOOD, his brother-in-law, assisted Iolo in his old age [see under Tregelles ].
  • PRICE, THOMAS (Carnhuanawc; 1787 - 1848), historian and antiquary everything concerning the triple harp. When the Welsh Society of Abergavenny was established in 1833 Price's name was placed first in the list of members as a unanimous token of respect; the society did not survive long after his death. He participated in the work of the Welsh Manuscripts Society, editing the Iolo Manuscripts after the death of Taliesin Williams. Though he won the esteem and co-operation
  • PRICHARD, JOHN WILLIAM (1749 - 1829), man of letters correspondent, with a large circle of men of letters: Gwallter Mechain (NLW MS 1808E, no. 6), William Owen Pughe, Richard Llwyd (the author of Beaumaris Bay), Twm o'r Nant, Dewi Wyn, Robert ap Gwilym Ddu (who was a kinsman of his), Robert Roberts the almanac-maker, etc. But he was not on good terms with Dafydd Ddu Eryri, and he abominated Iolo Morganwg, to whom he attributed all W. O. Pughe's literary lapses
  • PRITCHARD, EVAN (Ieuan Lleyn; 1769 - 1832), poet schoolmaster in Bryncroes and adjoining parishes till his death on 14 August 1832. He was a frequent competitor at eisteddfodau, e.g. at Denbigh in 1792 on ' Cyflafan y Beirdd,' at Bala in 1793 on ' Tymhorau'r Flwyddyn,' and at Denbigh in 1828 on ' Gwledd Belsassar.' On 16 October 1799 he and Dafydd Ddu Eryri and Gutyn Peris were ordained bards of the province of Gwynedd by Iolo Morganwg. The first number of
  • REES, WILLIAM (1808 - 1873), printer and publisher , too, that the publications of the Welsh MSS.

  • RHYDDERCH AB IEUAN LLWYD (c. 1325 - before 1399?), lawman and literary patron Llywelyn Goch ap Llywelyn Gaplan. Lywelyn Goch ap Meurig Hen also composed a praise poem to the two friends. In his description of a poetic circuit of Wales, Iolo Goch recommends 'greeting Rhydderch the giver / son of Ieuan Llwyd', and one suspects Iolo must have written additional poems, now lost, to such an important patron. Dafydd y Coed's praise poem to Rhydderch in The Red Book of Hergest compares
  • RHYS ap GRUFFYDD (bu farw 1356), nobleman of that union was Sir Rhys ap Thomas. Among other interesting family connections, Sir Rhys was related to Sir Gruffydd Llwyd, and to the poet Dafydd ap Gwilym (a son of his maternal cousin), who has included certain references to Sir Rhys in a poem composed about 1346. There is also a poem by Iolo Goch in Rhys's honour.
  • RHYS GOGH ap RHICCERT The only reliable information about him which we have is contained in pedigrees (e.g. Peniarth MS 178) from which we learn that he was a grandson of Einion ap Collwyn who lived in Glamorgan at the time of the Norman Conquest, and that he was an ancestor of Rhys Brydydd of Llanharan and other well-known poets of the same line, such as Lewys Morgannwg. Twenty poems are attributed to him in Iolo MSS
