LLOYD, WILLIAM (1637 - 1710), bishop of Llandaff son of Edward Lloyd, rector of Llangower in Merioneth, who was ejected from his living by the Puritan authorities, though the documentary evidence for the action is difficult to obtain. Educated at S. John's College, Cambridge, he was M.A. in 1662 and D.D. in 1670. In 1675 he was made bishop of Llandaff, the last Welshman to hold the see for 200 years.

LLOYD, WILLIAM (1717 - 1777), cleric and translator incumbent was Edward Bennett, master of Friars School at Bangor. The two men were doubly related by marriage; it was, therefore, natural that Lloyd should become (4 February 1748) usher at Friars, with the attached curacy of Llandygai (4 August); there is a letter of his from Llandygai in Welch Piety, 1750-1 54. There, he was neighbour to Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd, 1731 - 1788) at Llanllechid; a volume of

LLYWELYN ap GRUFFYDD (bu farw 1317), nobleman, soldier and rebel martyr friend of Welshmen, whatever their degree. Llywelyn was removed from office, and there followed a short period of bitter personal recrimination on both sides, which reached a climax in Llywelyn's unsympathetic hearing before Edward II. Fearing treachery, he returned home secretly early in 1316, and in view of general discontent throughout the Welshries, had no difficulty in raising a widespread revolt
