GRUFFUDD GRYG (fl. second half of the 14th century), bard This is to be gathered from Gruffudd's cywydd to the seven sons of Iorwerth ap Gruffudd of Lliwon, Anglesey, men who flourished (in all probability) c. 1360-70. He says that he is related to them and he addresses them as his kindred; he must, therefore, have been related in some way to the tribe of Hwfa ap Cynddelw (see J. E. Griffith, Pedigrees, 5). He sang also to Einion ap Gruffudd, Chwilog
GRUFFUDD LLWYD ap DAFYDD ab EINION LLYGLIW (fl. c. 1380-1410), a poet nephew of the poet Hywel ab Einion Llygliw, and native of the parish of Llangadfan, Montgomeryshire. According to the elegy composed to him by Rhys Goch Eryri he was a descendant of Einion Yrth; he is called in Cardiff MS. 18 (190) ' chancellor of Hereford cathedral,' but no further details or supporting proof are known. One of the most important and able of contemporary poets and well-acquainted
GWALCHMAI ap MEILYR (fl. 1130-1180), court poet 1136-8, and around Rhuddlan (1150?). This poem, which combines nature, love, and 'vaunting' themes, is one of the finest achievements of the Welsh muse in the 12th century. Gwalchmai had several sons. Poetry composed by two (or three) of them is extant, viz. Einion and Meilyr ap Gwalchmai and, possibly, Elidir Sais. The Record of Caernarvon reveals the connection of Gwalchmai and his sons with
GWILYM ap IEUAN HEN (fl. c. 1440-1480), poet Owain of Caereinion (Brogyntyn MS. 1 (128)), and Dafydd Llwyd ap Dafydd ab Einion of Newtown (NLW MS 16B (206)), and other members of the ruling classes of his period. Brogyntyn MS. 2 (437b, 439b, 440b); Cwrtmawr MS 129B (158), Cwrtmawr MS 243B (141); NLW MS 16B (215).
GWILYM TEW (fl. c. 1460-1480), one of the bards of Glamorgan The pedigree books describe him as the son of Rhys Brydydd, but some details which are available suggest that he was a brother to that bard. It is evident, therefore, that he was a member of the most renowned family of major bards that Glamorgan ever produced, descendants of Rhys Fychan of Tir Iarll, of the line of Einion ap Collwyn. Although Rhys Brydydd lived in Llanharan it is probable that
HOPCYN ap TOMAS (c. 1330 - 1403), gentleman living at Ynysdawy in the parish of Llangyfelach, Glamorganshire; son of Tomas ab Einion, i.e. the Einion who, Iolo Morganwg maintained, was Einion Offeiriad. Iolo wove all manner of stories about this family, making Hopcyn a bard and the author of romances, parables, grammars, etc.; what we have here is an attempt to explain the references to Hopcyn which are found in poem by bards of the 14th
HYWEL ab EDWIN (bu farw 1044), king of Deheubarth son of Edwin ab Einion and great-grandson of Hywel Dda. When, in 1033, the usurper, Rhydderch ap Iestyn died, Hywel and his brother Maredudd, as senior heirs of Hywel Dda, became joint kings of Deheubarth. Maredudd's death in 1035 left Hywel sole ruler, and on him fell the brunt of defending the south against the Vikings and the northern usurper, Gruffudd ap Llywelyn. Expelled by Gruffudd in 1042
HYWEL ab EINION LLYGLIW (fl. 1330-1370), poet and uncle to Gruffudd Llwyd ap Dafydd ab Einion Llygliw. Nothing is known about him, but his love poem addressed to Myfanwy Fychan of Castell Dinas Bran, Llangollen, is preserved in NLW MS 1553A (275), NLW MS 4973B (369b), NLW MS 6209E (216), and published in The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales; for an English translation see T. Pennant, Tours in Wales. The poet is named Hywel ab Einion of Maelor
HYWEL ap GRUFFYDD (bu farw c. 1381) Tanglwst, daughter of one Dafydd Fychan ap Hywel; there was one son, Gruffydd, who left no direct heirs. But several old Eifionydd families traced their descent from his elder brother, Einion.
IESTYN ap GWRGANT (fl. c. 1081-1093), last independent ruler of Glamorgan Iestyn's name. It describes how Iestyn, through his kinsman Einion ap Collwyn, a fugitive in England, secured Robert Fitzhamon's assistance against Rhys ap Tewdwr, whom he slew at Penrhys. Iestyn paid the Normans but refused Einion's promised reward - his daughter in marriage. Einion recalled the departing Normans, who overthrew Iestyn, divided the lowlands amongst themselves, leaving only the hill

He composed religious and love poetry, and also one poem of controversy, or ymryson, addressed to Bedo Brwynllys; Ieuan was himself a keen Yorkist, and he accused Bedo of being hypocritical in this matter. An elegy
