During his time
HUWS, RHYS JONES (1862 - 1917), Independent minister
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. Other ymrysonau were composed between Bedo Brwynllys and Hywel, and also between Gruffudd ap Dafydd Fychan, Llywelyn Goch y Dant and Hywel. According to Edward Jones (apparently on the authority of Rhys Cain) he was an M.A
HYWEL ap GRUFFYDD ap IORWERTH (fl. c. 1300-1340) Caernarvonshire (see J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 14-15, 29, 58, 71, 76, 95-6, 136, 228). It may confidently be suggested that Hywel 'y Pedolau' of the legend represents the historical Hywel ap Gruffydd who figures prominently during the early years of the 14th century as a member of that Welsh official class, led by Sir Gruffydd Llwyd in North Wales and Sir Rhys ap Gruffydd in South Wales which showed such
HYWEL CILAN (fl. c. the end of the 15th century), poet of whose work many examples remain in manuscript. It appears that he was a native of Edeirnion; Cwrtmawr MS 454B (140) states that he was from Llandderfel; Owen Jones gives him as the owner of Llawr y Cilan in Llandrillo - thus providing a possible explanation for the poet's name. The large majority of his poems are addressed to members of various landed families of North Wales, including
HYWEL GETHIN (fl. c. 1485), poet a native, it is said, of Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfonshire. No details concerning his life remain, but the dates given him, by Owen Jones, Gweirydd ap Rhys, Myrddin Fardd, and Wiliam Owen (viz. 1570-1600) are obviously too late, because a cywydd written by him in praise of the four sons of Rhys ap Hywel ap Madog of Llanystumdwy remains in manuscript; these four persons lived at the end of the 15th
HYWEL SWRDWAL (fl. 1430-1460), poet Hugh Swrdwal who is said to have been granted the manor of Aberyscir for services rendered to Bernard Newmarch when the latter conquered Brecknock (Theophilus Jones, History of the County of Brecknock, 3rd ed., i, 61). However, it is said that Hywel Swrdwal spent the greater part of his life in Cydewain, Montgomeryshire, that he was the bailiff of Newtown between 1454 and 1456, and that apart from
IEUAN ap MADOG ap DAFYDD (fl. c. 1500), poet details of his life are unknown, but some of his work remains in manuscript. This includes poems in praise of Sir William Griffith of Penrhyn, and John Puleston, an elegy to the poet Syr Dafydd Trefor, a bardic controversy, or ymryson, with Ieuan Dylyniwr, and a satirical poem to Padrig Wyddel (Patrick the Irishman).
IEUAN LLWYD SIEFFRAI (fl. c. 1599-1619), poet of Rhûg (see the article on that family), which asserts a close relationship between himself and the poet, englynion of praise to Pirs Griffith of Penrhyn, others welcoming Richard Hughes to Penllyn, a cywydd of thanks to Robert Vaughan of Llwydiarth (see article on that family) for welcoming the poet to his home, another begging a sword from Maredudd ap Huw Lewys for Foulkes Holland, and a few

He also received an inheritance left him by his great-uncle, a wealthy saddler's ironmonger of Birmingham, Warwickshire, who had died in 1831. James married Mary Ann (née Jones, 1818-1882), the daughter of his great-uncle's business partner, in Edgbaston, Warwickshire, on 23 December 1843. James
