Other considerable figures in the political life of Glamorgan were the brothers Sir DAVID MATHEW of St. Fagans (died

MEILYR BRYDYDD (fl. c . 1100-1137), chief court-poet to Gruffudd ap Cynan at Aberffraw. He is considered the earliest of the 'Gogynfeirdd.' Meilyr, and Gwalchmai (his son), and his grand-children, appear to be the likeliest known instance in Wales of a line of hereditary poets, as was usual in Ireland, holding land in return for their eulogies of a particular line of rulers. Trefeilyr and Trewalchmai remain as place-names in Anglesey. Sir J. Morris
MEREDITH, JOHN ELLIS (1904 - 1981), minister (Presbyterian Church of Wales) and author in philosophy in 1928 and then proceeded to study theology at Oxford University in 1928, where he was a member of Jesus College, sharing rooms with T.

MEREDITH, RICHARD (bu farw 1597), bishop of Leighlin, Ireland Born in Denbighshire, son, it is said, of one Robert Meredith ap Gronw and Margaret, daughter of William John ap Gronw. It is possible that he was of the same stock as the Merediths of Stansty. He was probably the Richard Meredith who graduated B.A. at Jesus College, 4 March 1572/3, but it is quite certain that he became M.A. of the same college in 1575. He became chaplain to Sir John Perrot
MEREDUDD ap RHYS (fl. 1450-1485), gentleman, cleric, and poet His name is certainly that which is found in the books of pedigrees of Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt and Edward ap Roger of Ruabon - Meredudd ap Rhys married Angharad, daughter of Madog ap Robert of Cristionydd in the parish of Ruabon. His pedigree is traced back to Rhys Sais and Tudur Trefor, who were the ancestors of many of the gentle families in the Maelors and the Marches : Meredudd ap Rhys ap
MERFYN FRYCH (bu farw 844), king of Gwynedd son of Gwriad, probably a Manx chieftain and a reputed descendant of Llywarch Hen, by Ethyllt, a princess of Gwynedd. On the death, in 825, of Hywel ap Rhodri Molwynog, his mother's uncle, he became king in Anglesey, and later, on the death of Hywel ap Caradog, appears to have acquired the kingship of the adjacent mainland cantrefs. Thus were united the inheritances of the last direct descendants

He was appointed by the earl of Pembroke as Clerk of the Peace in Glamorgan. He died in 1 March 1586/7 and was buried in Cowbridge church. Two elegies to him were sung, the
MEURIG ab IDWAL FOEL (bu farw 986), nobleman of Gwynedd Youngest son of Idwal Foel. Since he died in the same year as his nephew, Cadwallon, king of Gwynedd, he was never apparently king himself. But the lineage of Rhodri Fawr was preserved in Gwynedd through his descendants - see Idwal ap Meurig.
