teulu CLARE therefore fought for the king at Evesham (1265). He then however again changed sides, and indeed was the chief author of the compromise of 1267. In the same year was signed the treaty of Montgomery, which acknowledged Llywelyn as Prince of Wales and gave him (among other gains) the lordship of Brecknock. Llywelyn's lands in Brecknock now marched with the Clare lands, and a further question arose - if

CNEPPYN GWERTHRYNION (fl. 13th century), poet and grammarian gather that he hailed from Gwerthryniawn (now part of Radnorshire), and that his verse was 'correct by Latin standards' or by the rhetorical standards of his period. In some manuscripts ' Cneppyn Gwerthryniawn ' is given as one of several nicknames borne by Sypyn Cyfeiliog or Dafydd Bach ap Madog Wladaidd, but as this Dafydd sang late in the 14th century he could not have been the original Cneppyn (see

CRADOC, WALTER (1610? - 1659), Puritan theologian was revoked. He now moved to Wrexham, where he created such an impression that the North Wales Puritans became known as the ' Cradockians.' The next five years found him working hard in the Marches. In 1635-6 he spent some time with Richard Symonds and Richard Baxter at Shrewsbury. On 8 May 1638 he was arrested while attending divine service at the house of Mrs. De Lamars Veasy in London and, with

CYFEILIOG (bu farw 927), bishop of Llandaff The English Chronicles record that, in the course of a Danish invasion of the west Midlands, he was captured in the region of Archenfield (Erging), then, it may be, within his diocese, and carried off to the ships; Edward the Elder ransomed him for the sum of £40.

CYNAN ab OWAIN (bu farw 1174), prince was the son of Owain Gwynedd by an unknown mother. In 1145, he and his brother Hywel joined in an attack upon Cardigan; the town was sacked, but the castle was not taken. Two years later the two brothers invaded Meirionnydd and drove out their uncle Cadwaladr; as they entered the cantref from opposite directions it would seem that Cynan was now established in Ardudwy. In 1150 it is recorded that
CYNDEYRN, saint This Saint is commemorated at Llangyndeyrn in Carmarthenshire.
