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, 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-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
MANSEL, BUSSY (1623 - 1699) Briton Ferry, parliamentary commander and Member of Parliament Born in 1623, the younger but only surviving son of Arthur Mansel of Briton Ferry (third son of Sir Thomas Mansel, baronet, of Margam, who died 1631) and Jane, daughter and heiress of William Price of Briton Ferry.

MANSELL, FRANCIS (1579 - 1665), principal of Jesus College, Oxford parliamentary visitors descended upon Oxford, he hurried there to stand his ground. In 1648 he and the Fellows were deprived, and he returned to Wales, living for a time at Llantrithyd Court, Glamorganshire. But in 1651 he was back in Oxford - in the same year (so greatly was he respected at Jesus), he was allowed to occupy rooms in the tower above the college gate; there he remained during the principalship
