HYWEL ap DAFYDD ap IEUAN ap RHYS (fl. c. 1450-1480) Raglan, poet (Neath) and members of the Herbert family of Pembroke and Raglan. It appears from one of the two bardic controversies between him and Guto'r Glyn that he was family poet at Raglan.

The large majority of his poems are addressed to members of various landed families of North Wales, including
