LLOYD, Syr RICHARD (1606 - 1676), Brenhinwr a barnwr ym Mhenmachno, a ymaelododd yn Lincoln's Inn yn 1684 (ac a fwriodd y rhan fwyaf o'i oes ynddo), ac a ddaeth (fel ei ewythr Richard Anwyl) yn 'Clerk of the Outlawries in the Court of Common Pleas.' Dywedir yn aml ei fod yn 'protonotary' i'w gymydog enwog Syr Robert Price o'r Giler, ond nid ymddengys ei enw yn rhestrau W. R. Williams (The Welsh Judges) - er hynny, y mae'n amlwg fod cyswllt agos, ar
LLOYD, Sir RICHARD (1606 - 1676) Esclus, royalist and judge (not 'Richard' as given by Griffith) of Deneio and Nefyn. Their third son (fifth son according to some) was RODERICK LLOYD (died 1730) of Hafodwryd, Penmachno, Caernarfonshire, who entered Lincoln's Inn in 1684 (and who spent most of his life there), and became (as had his uncle Richard Anwyl) Clerk of the Outlawries in the Court of Common Pleas. It is often said that he was protonotary to his famous
LLOYD, WILLIAM (1627 - 1717), bishop of St Asaph chancellor Jeffreys, besides being unnaturally obsequious, prove how very irritated he was by the stubbornness of some sectaries, the dilatoriness of Denbighshire sheriffs, the weak intermittent authority of the Court of Great Sessions; and (like his brother prelate and namesake William Lloyd 1637 - 1710 of Llandaff) he was worried by the Chancery writs of 'supersedeas.' That he was a vigorous prelate
LLOYD, WILLIAM (1637 - 1710), bishop of Llandaff put the Clarendon code in full operation against sectaries (frowning very much on delays caused by the issue of Chancery writs of 'supersedeas'), and he took strong action against unsatisfactory clerics and officials, even pronouncing the 'greater excommunication' upon the principal registrar of the consistory court of Llandaff. He was translated to Peterborough in 1679 and to Norwich in 1685. It

LLOYD-JONES, JOHN (1885 - 1956), scholar and poet value for the interpretation of the literature of the medieval period, and it is a great pity that the author's scheme of work did not allow him to complete the task. His Sir John Rhŷs Memorial Lecture delivered to the British Academy in 1948, ' The Court Poets of the Welsh Princes ', was the result of the detailed knowledge of the poetry which he had gained by collecting material for the glossary
LLYWARCH ap LLYWELYN (fl. 1173-1220) Gwynedd, court-poet the upholding of the authority of Aberffraw. Dafydd, as lord of that court, was ' inherent chief ruler,' but the poet held that he would have to assert his leadership by force and not through affection. Aberffraw was afterwards held, successively, by Rhodri and Gruffydd, his nephew, but in spite of their weakness, Llywarch persisted in maintaining the 'inherent right' of that court over all the
LLYWELYN ap IORWERTH (fl. 1173-1240), prince lords of Wales, there are indications that during his closing years he was steadily shaping a constitutional policy of the kind brought to fruition by his grandson and namesake. There was the subtle assumption after 1230 of a new style - ' Prince of Aberffraw and Lord of Snowdon ' - and the more open move taken in 1238 at Strata Florida when, despite protests from the English court, fealty to Dafydd
MADOG ap LLYWELYN (fl. 1294), rebel It has been conclusively shown that he was the son of Llywelyn ap Maredudd, the last vassal lord of Meirionydd, who had been deprived of his patrimony for opposing Llywelyn ap Gruffydd in 1256 (see Llywelyn Fawr and Llywelyn Fychan - lords of Meirionydd). Llywelyn lived in England as a royal pensioner, and after his death in 1263, Madog continued in favour at the English court. During the year
MAELGWN GWYNEDD (bu farw c. 547), king of Gwynedd and monk married. The same traditions, however, hint at later repentance and the bestowal of many privileges upon various religious centres. In the reference of Gildas to Maelgwn's own praises resounding on the lips of 'ranting' minstrels, we may detect a possible allusion to his court bards and his patronage of native song. A strong and able, though wayward ruler, who, according to an old Welsh saying, fell
MANNAY, JAMES (JIM) SAPOE JOHN (Ahmed Hassan Ismail) (1927 - 2012), historian and poet of his National Service with the Second Battalion of the Welsh Regiment and was stationed in Singapore. He received a court martial for insubordination, however as a result of the support of the Crown Prince of Afghanistan (who visited the regiment and whom Jim had met upon a visit to the Zawiya in Butetown) and several letters by his mother May to James Callaghan in the House of Commons, he was
