BEVAN, LLEWELYN DAVID (1842 - 1918), Independent minister ), Athro Anianeg Fourth son of Llewelyn David Bevan. He was a professor of physics at the Royal Holloway College; his career and work are described by T. Iorwerth Jones in "The contributions of Welshmen to science", Transactions of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, 1932-3, 54-6.
BLACKWELL, JOHN (Alun; 1797 - 1840), cleric and poet Garmon,' and another at Ruthin in the same year for an awdl on 'Genedigaeth Iorwerth II.' He was also successful as a writer of essays, and letters written by him appeared in Y Gwyliedydd. All this brought him to the notice of certain gentlemen and clergymen, who subscribed to a fund to enable him to pursue a course of education. In January 1824 he went to Thomas Richards (1785 - 1855), to prepare for
BLEDDYN FARDD (fl. 1268-1283), one of the bards of the independent Welsh princes Thirteen of his odes are preserved in the NLW MS 6680B: Hendregadredd Manuscript. He sang chiefly to the sons of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn ap Iorwerth and to the chieftains of Gwynedd, but he has one ode to Rhys ap Maredudd ap Rhys of South Wales. His entire work consists of eulogies and elegies, with the exception of his 'Marwysgafn' or last confession. The earliest ode by him which can be dated is
CADWGAN (bu farw 1111), prince first left with nothing more than the vill he had received in frank marriage with his wife, but later received Ceredigion. This he lost in 1110, as the result of further misdeeds of Owain; Ceredigion was given to Gilbert Fitz Richard and became a Norman lordship, while Cadwgan sank into a landless royal pensioner. Again there was a turn of fortune, when his brother Iorwerth was murdered in 1111 by his
CADWGAN (bu farw 1241), bishop of Bangor He succeeded after the death of Robert in 1212. Llywelyn ap Iorwerth was at this time dominant in North Wales, and it was, no doubt, through his influence that Cadwgan obtained the see. King John, moreover, who, in the early months of 1215, was angling for the support of the Welsh against the barons, put no obstacles in his way. On 13 March the chapter was allowed to elect the abbot of Whitland
teulu CHERLETON Northumberland and lord Bardolf, rebels and allies of Glyn Dwr, 1406, and was the friend of Adam Usk. In November 1417 Sir John Oldcastle was captured at Broniarth, near Welshpool, by Sir Gruffydd Vaughan and his brother Ieuan ap Gruffydd, aided by Hywel ap Gruffudd ap Dafydd ap Madog and Deio ap Ieuan ap Iorwerth ab Adda, two yeomen. These men surrendered Oldcastle to their overlord Edward Cherleton, whose
CRADOCK, Sir MATHEW (1468? - 1531), royal official in South Wales in the lordships of Cardif, Glomorgan, Morgannok, Gower, Ilande, Vske, and Carlyon (Cal. Pat. Rolls, 6 H. VII). Again, Matthew Craddoke of London, alias of Swaynesey, co. Glamorgan, is granted a pardon for not appearing before the king's justices 6 February 1504-5 (Cal. Pat. Rolls, 20 H. VII). The contemporary Welsh bard Iorwerth Fynglwyd composed two poems referring to Sir Mathew, one when he was
CYNDDELW BRYDYDD MAWR (fl. 1155-1200), leading 12th century Welsh court poet as 'primeval starkness.' The last of his compositions which can be dated precisely is the series of englynion to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales, 189b), in which the rise of that prince is described as far as his capture of Mold in January 1199. (His authorship of the later englynion entitled the 'Circuit of Llywelyn' is very dubious.) Part of his 'Deathbed song' is found in
CYNFRIG ap DAFYDD GOCH (fl. c. 1420), poet Several of his cywyddau are preserved, among them two in praise of Wiliam of Penrhyn, a cywydd gofyn, and one to Tudur ap Iorwerth Sais (Rhys ap Cynfrig Coch in Cwrtmawr MS 244B (52), Gruffydd Gryg in Llanstephan MS 11 (105), Peniarth MS 64 (122), NLW MS 3047C (793)).
DAFYDD ab IEUAN ab IORWERTH (bu farw 1503), bishop of St Asaph
DAFYDD ab OWAIN GWYNEDD (bu farw 1203), king of Gwynedd and Hales in Shropshire. He seems now to have settled in the Middle Country, with a fine castle at Rhuddlan, admired by Giraldus Cambrensis, who spent a night there, with archbishop Baldwin's company, in the spring of 1188. In 1194 fortune struck him a second blow. After he had been harassed for some time by his energetic young nephew, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, that rising star entered into an alliance
DAFYDD AP GWILYM (c. 1315 - c. 1350), poet must be admitted that he could have lived until about 1360 or even later. Dafydd ap Gwilym was one of a number of poets composing in the new cywydd metre in the second quarter of the 14th century. His most prominent contemporaries were Madog Benfras, Gruffudd Gryg, Gruffudd ab Adda, Iorwerth ab y Cyriog and Iolo Goch. Although these poets all display the same creativity in the field of love and
