MORRIS ap ROBERT - gweler ROBERTS, MORRIS
MORRIS, JOHN (1706 - 1740), sailor son of Morris ap Rhisiart Morris, and brother of Lewis, Richard, and William Morris. Born in 1706. Little is known about him, other than what is said in an article on his brother Lewis in the Cambrian Register, 1796, 232, from which we learn that he died on board the warship Torbay (in the unsuccessful attack on Cartagena) in 1740, aged 34 - he was ' master's mate.' We have some 22 of his letters
MORRIS, LEWIS (Llewelyn Ddu o Fôn; 1701 - 1765), poet and scholar Eldest son of Morris ap Rhisiart Morris, and brother of Richard, William, and John Morris; born in 1701 (christened 2 March 1700/1) in the parish of Llanfihangel Tre'r Beirdd, Anglesey. Like his brothers, he learnt his father's craft; it would appear from his own words that he had little formal education, but in view of the attainments he displayed later, this may well be doubted. In his twenties

MORRIS, RICHARD (1703 - 1779), founder of the Cymmrodorion Society Born 2 February 1702-3 at Y Fferem, Llanfihangel-tre'r-beirdd, Anglesey, son of Morris ap Rhisiart Morris and brother of Lewis, William, and John Morris. He worked at first in his father's workshop, and we have (in his own hand) a list of implements made there by him at 15. According to the papers of the late Iolo A. Williams, Richard went to London on 1 August 1722 and his brother Lewis on 7 May
MORRIS, ROGER (fl. 1590) Coed-y-talwrn, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, transcriber of manuscripts Nothing is known of his private life. He wrote an exceptionally neat hand, and he had opportunities to copy some of the older Welsh manuscripts, e.g. the ' Black Book of Carmarthen ' and the ' White Book of Rhydderch,' possibly through friendships with Jasper Griffith. His interests were wide and there remain of his transcription collections of lives of saints (Llanstephan MS 34), a botanology
MORRIS, WILLIAM (1705 - 1763), botanist, antiquary, letter-writer Born 6 May 1705 at Y Fferem, Llanfihangel Tre'r Beirdd, Anglesey, third son of Morris ap Rhisiart Morris and brother of Lewis, Richard, and John Morris. His own words suggest that he was tall and lanky; possibly he had a pronounced stoop, for his nephew John Owen (died 1759) nicknames him 'Gwilym Gam' (the crooked), but it may be that the nephew refers rather to his 'stinginess' - he had neither
teulu MORTIMER Wigmore, captured the prince Rhys ap Hywel. He was also responsible for the death of Maredudd ap Madog ab Idnerth in 1146. ROGER de MORTIMER was imprisoned for two years in 1179 owing to his followers having been involved in the death of Cadwallon ap Madog, and in 1191 he was banished for three years, this time on a charge of conspiring with the Welsh against the king. He returned in due course, and in 1195 drove
MORTIMER, ROGER de (1256? - 1326), lord of Chirk part in the attempts to suppress the rebellion of Rhys ap Maredudd, lord of Ystrad Tywi, 1287-8. In July 1287 he was requested to provide 400 footmen, and in November 1287 and 1288 was again directed to take various measures against the rebellious lord. Towards the end of Edward I's reign he incurred the king's displeasure and fell into disfavour for a while. The accession of Edward II, however
MORTIMER, ROGER de (4th earl of March, 4th earl of Ulster), (1374 - 1398) is time he came to Wales, where 'honour is his due.' True, it required some imagination to see in Roger the 'heir to Aberffraw,' on the strength of the farback marriage (1230) between Llywelyn ap Iorwerth's daughter and a Mortimer, but this slender strand could be woven into propaganda of stouter texture. For it is important to remember that in this cywydd we are still in a period far earlier than
