DOGMAEL (fl. 6th century), saint No details of the life of S. Dogmael are extant. The Welsh genealogies connect him with one of the three saintly tribes of Wales by making him the son of Ithel ap Ceredig ap Cunedda Wledig.

DWN, HENRY (before c. 1354 - November 1416), landowner and rebel reached its intended destination, its message certainly did, for Dwn and his son Maredudd became important leaders in Glyndŵr's southern campaign. In July 1403 Dwn was with Glyndŵr, Rhys Ddu (formerly sheriff of Cardiganshire), and others when they took Carmarthen, and on 28 September he captured in the port of Carmarthen a ship belonging to the Llansteffan merchant John Sely.

He was twice married and had eight children, the eldest of whom was 11 years old in 1533, but he lived to see his family disintegrate in the many epidemics of the period. Poets like ' Syr ' Owen ap Gwilym, Harri ap Rhys ap Gwilym, Thomas Vychan, Wiliam Llŷn
DWNN, LEWYS (c. 1550 - c. 1616) Betws Cedewain, genealogist He himself says (Heraldic Visitations, i, 26) that he was descended from David Dwnn of Kidwelly (brother of Owain Dwnn), 'who went to Powys after slaying the Mayor of Kidwelly,' and through his wife Angharad Lloyd became owner of Cefn y Gwestyd. One of the Cefn y Gwestyd family, namely Gwenllian, daughter of Rhys Goch Dwnn, married Rhys ap Owain ap Morus and so became Lewys's mother. The son

His grandfather was the Henry Don who was an adherent of Owain Glyn Dŵr (Lloyd, Owen Glendower, 41). The documents of the period 1436-46 make frequent mention of Owain Dwnn.

EDERN DAFOD AUR, made a small dosbarth (arrangement or grammar) of the orthography of the Welsh language and of the form of words Edern Dafod Aur' in the elegy written upon the death of Tudur Aled by Siôn ap Hywel ap Llywelyn Fychan. It is obvious that the work had become recognized as one of the ancient authorities by 1525; it is more than probable, therefore, that it belongs to the preceding century. But more research is necessary before the problem can be solved.
