RHYS ap THOMAS Sir (1449 - 1525), chief Welsh supporter of Henry VII Bridge, near Dale, must be taken as legendary. He joined the invading force near Welshpool with levies raised in the vale of Towy and was knighted for his services on the field of Bosworth (22 August 1485).

RHYS, JOHN DAVID (1534 - 1609?), physician and grammarian discussion of Welsh prosody. As a work of scholarship it has very little merit, because the author, who had none of the gifts of Gruffydd Robert or Dr. John Davies for analysing the structure of language, adopted the grammatical framework of Latin and forced the Welsh language into that.
