IEUAN LLAFAR (fl. c. 1594-1610), poet A native apparently of Glyn Ceiriog, Denbighshire. Nothing is known about him, but a number of cywyddau and englynion composed by him, c. 1594 to 1610, have survived. He wrote poems to various contemporary North Wales gentry, including Owain Holant of Plas Berw, Anglesey, Hwmffrai ap Huw of Gwerclys, Rhobert Wyn of Foelas, Edwart ap Dafydd of Rhiwlas, Edwart ap Morus of Llansilin, Owain Bruwtwn
IEUAN LLWYD SIEFFRAI (fl. c. 1599-1619), poet Born in 1575, son and heir of Sieffrai ab Ieuan Llwyd, Dyffryn Ereithlyn, Eglwys-bach, Denbighshire, of the Lloyd family of Hafod Unnos. On 12 July 1591, at Llandrillo church, Meironnydd, when he was 16 years old and she only 11, he married Margred, daughter and sole heiress of Morus ap Siôn ab Elis of Palau. They had ten daughters and two sons, some born at Palau and others at Dyffryn. The
IEUAN RHAEADR, poet A native apparently of Rhayader, Radnorshire. Some of his work remains in manuscript; this includes three love cywyddau, cywyddau in praise of Siancyn ap Siôn ap Ieuan Fychan and Richard Herbert, and another seeking the freedom of Rhys Fychan of Builth when he was imprisoned at Gloucester.
IEUAN RUDD (fl. 1470), a Glamorgan bard who sang in the second half of the 15th century. Two cywyddau by him survive, the one upon the marriage-feast of Sir Rhys ap Thomas and Sioned (Janet), daughter of Thomas Mathew of Radyr, Glamorganshire, and the other to the 'paderau main crisial' (the crystal paternosters). There is a reference to him in a cywydd which Llywelyn Goch y Dant wrote c. 1470 to invite Hywel ap Dafydd ap Ieuan ap Rhys
IEUAN TEW manuscript, but it is often difficult to distinguish between the poems of the two respective poets. A bardic controversy, or ymryson, occurred between the elder and the Mastr Harri, and between the younger and Bedo Hafesp; he also took part in another, together with the three poets, Siôn Phylip, Wiliam Llŷn, and Hywel Ceiriog, against Wiliam Cynwal and Huw Llŷn.

IFOR HAEL, patron of bards This is the name given by Dafydd ap Gwilym to his chief patron, Ifor ap Llywelyn, Bassaleg, Monmouth. Although we are accustomed to calling it in Welsh 'Maesaleg' there are definite proofs that the name was 'Bassalec' or 'Basselec' in the 12th century (see the 'Book of Llandaff') and earlier the lineage of Ifor is given in Peniarth MS 133 (R., i, 833) (180), 'tredegyr ymassalec' (Tredegar in
IOLO GOCH (c. 1325 - c. 1400), poet name of his great-grandfather), but there is no evidence that Iorwerth was Iolo Goch's baptismal name. It is possible that Coch had become a family surname, but Iolo refers to himself in one of his poems as cadno coch ('red fox'), so it is likely he did have red hair. According to the survey of the lordship of Denbigh of 1334, the patrimony of Ithel Goch and his cousin Dafydd was the gafael or
IOLO GOCH (c. 1320 - c. 1398), poet to Iolo in the manuscripts the oldest which can be dated is the awdl to Dafydd ap Bleddyn, bishop of St Asaph from 1314 to 1346, and one of the latest is the cywydd to Ieuan Trevor II, bishop of St Asaph, composed, in all probability, in 1397. Between these two poles we can trace the following cywyddau written by him: panegyric upon Edward III, end of 1347; elegy upon Sir Rhys ap Gruffydd who died
IORWERTH FYNGLWYD (fl. c. 1480-1527), bard also. He sang much to gentlemen in his own province - members of the families of Games, Stradling, Bawdrip, and Mansel, and to David, abbot of Margam, between 1500 and 1517. But his chief patron was Rhys ap Siôn, Aberpergwm, the most distinguished member of that notable family. He visited Kidwelly and Ystrad Tywi also; it may be surmised that one of his favourite haunts was the court of Sir Rhys ap
ITHEL ap RHOTPERT or ROBERT (fl. 1357-1382), archdeacon . On both sides, he was of the family which, in more modern times, has borne the surname Mostyn; his father, Rhotpert ap Iorwerth ap Rhirid, had a brother, Madog, otherwise known as ' Matthew de Englefield,' who was bishop of Bangor 1327-57 (Browne Willis, Bangor, 74-5; Le Neve, Fasti, i, 99); his mother, Adles, was cousin to Dafydd ap Bleddyn, bishop of St Asaph. Ithel is styled B.C.L. in one record
JAMES, DANIEL (Gwyrosydd; 1847 - 1920), poet Born 13 January 1847 at Tre-boeth, Swansea, the son of Daniel James, a stone mason, and his wife Mary (née Morgan). His parents belonged to Mynydd-bach Independent church, the subject of many poems by Gwyrosydd. Having lost his father at an early age, he became a puddler at Morriston iron-works, and afterwards worked at Landore tin-plate works. Mastering the prosodical textbook of Dafydd
