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
CALLAGHAN, LEONARD JAMES (1912 - 2005), politician class of Penarth. Only once was he under threat at an election, in 1959 when the Conservative Michael H. A.

CARADOG ap IESTYN (fl. 1130), founder of the family of 'Avene' in Glamorgan his brothers, Gruffydd and Goronwy, he was concerned in 1127 in a deed of violence, the bearing of which is uncertain. But it is clear that, on the collapse of Iestyn's rule, he received from Robert Fitz Hamon the land between Nedd and Afan (and perhaps more) as a subordinate holding, to be retained by his descendants for many generations.
