JONES, RHYS (1713 - 1801), antiquary and poet additions, by Cynddelw (Robert Ellis, 1812 - 1875). It should be observed that Rhys Jones was living at Tyddyn Mawr and not at Blaenau when he published his Gorchestion, which is a selection of the works of Aneirin, Taliesin, Llywarch Hen, and other poets; Rhys Jones wrote his awdl in praise of William Vaughan of Cors-y-gedol on the pattern of the awdlau by Gutun Owen and William Llŷn included in this
KENTIGERN (518? - 603), saint, the founder of Glasgow He appears in the Welsh genealogies as Cyndeyrn, son of Owain ab Urien and grandson of Urien (of) Rheged; Owain is an important figure in the romances included in the ' Red Book of Hergest,' and he and his father, Urien, figure in the early Welsh poems which recount the struggles of the North British princes against Hussa the son of Ida - see the articles Llywarch Hen and Taliesin. The family
teulu LLOYD Rhiwaedog, Rhiwedog, , received a copy of the family pedigree from ELISE AP WILLIAM LLOYD, who was high sheriff of Merioneth in 1565. The ancestry as given by Dwnn (Visitations, ii, 225-6 - see the footnotes by W. W. E. Wynne) is traced through Owain Gwynedd and Llywarch Hen to Coel Godebog. J. E. Griffith (Pedigrees, 234) gives the descent from Owain Gwynedd down to 1832, and (ibid., 383) shows also the relationship of SIMON
LLYWARCH ap BRAN (fl. c. 1137), founder of one of the 'Fifteen (Noble) Tribes of Gwynedd' is described as brother-in-law of Owain Gwynedd, their wives being daughters of Gronw ab Owain ab Edwin, lord of Tegeingl. Like Hwfa ap Cynddelw, he is said to have been steward to Owain Gwynedd and to have lived in the township of Tref Llywarch, Anglesey; he is also described as lord of the commote of Menai, Anglesey. For the names of some of the families who claimed descent from him see Philip
LLYWARCH ap LLYWELYN (fl. 1173-1220) Gwynedd, court-poet from the death of Owain Gwynedd to the rise of Llywelyn the Great to the height of his power. He addresses Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd as ' lord of Aberffraw'; this must have been between 1173 and 1175. Fratricidal strife between the princes was the curse of Wales at that time, and the reference to Cain and Abel in the ode to Rhodri is very much to the point. The solution advocated by Llywarch was
LLYWARCH HEN (fl. 6th century), British prince and a hero of a cycle of Welsh tales dating from the mid-9th century The following ancient pedigrees are our only source of knowledge of the historic Llywarch: 'Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd' - Peniarth MS 45, B.M. Harl. MS. 3859 (although Llywarch's name does not appear here, mention is made of some of his contemporary relations in the genealogiae Saxonum which are attached to the text of Nennius), B.M. Cottonian, Vesp. A. xiv, Domitian 1, 'Bonedd y Saint,' and the
LLYWARCH LLAETY (fl. c. 1140-1160), one of the poets of the period of the Welsh Princes A series of englynion in praise of Llywelyn ap Madog ap Maredudd of Powys remain in MSS. It is also probable that he was the same person as the poet Llywarch y Nam, of whose work another series of englynion to the same prince is found.

As a copyist his busiest period was from 1585-1595; 1595-1600 was his golden age; while 1600-1613 produced his most important works, i.e. his long, narrow books - ' The Long Book of Shrewsbury,' ' The Long Book of Llywarch Reynolds ', see Jonathan Owain Reynolds and ' The Long Book of Llanharan.' His industry was responsible for the
MADOG BENFRAS (fl. c. 1320-1360), poet of Marchwiail, Denbighshire. His pedigree is given in Powys Fadog thus: ' Madog Benfras ap Gruffudd ap Iorwerth, arglwydd Sonlli, ab Einion Goch ab Ieuaf ap Llywarch ap Ieuaf ap Niniaw ap Cynfrig ap Rhiwallawn.' His two brothers, Llywelyn Llogell (parish priest of Marchwiail), and Ednyfed, were also poets; according to Iolo Morganwg their bardic teacher was Llywelyn ap Gwilym of Emlyn. Iolo also
MADOG DWYGRAIG (fl. c. 1370), poet one of the last of the 'Gogynfeirdd' group. A number of his awdlau remain in the ' Red Book of Hergest ' and other MSS.

A number of these were included in The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales

He fled to Ireland, returned later in the year, and was made a prisoner. His subsequent fate is unknown.
