TRAHAEARN BRYDYDD MAWR (fl. first half of the 14th century), poet In a poem in which he is satirised his pedigree is given as Trahaearn ap Goronwy, ap Rotbert, ap Bledri (R.B.H. Poetry, 1343). Certain phrases in the same poem suggest that, like Cynddelw, he was called 'Prydydd Mawr' because of his physical size (e.g. ' A giant who is offended ' and ' The son of Goronwy is bigger than I am '). In the Cambrian Biography (Owen), it is supposed that he is the same
teulu TREVOR Trevalun, Plas Têg, Glynde, The Trevalun Trevors were founded by RICHARD, sometimes called Sir RICHARD TREVOR (fl. 1500), 4th son of John Trevor ' hên ' and sixteenth in descent 'o dad i dad' from Tudur Trevor of Brynkynallt, who acquired the estate by marriage with Mallt, heiress of David ap Gruffydd of Allington (died 1476). Richard's great-grandson JOHN TREVOR (died 1589) fought in the French wars of Henry VIII as a
TREVOR, JOHN (bu farw 1410), bishop of St Asaph He is known as John Trevor II in order to distinguish him from his namesake, who was bishop between 1346 and 1357 and with whom he is sometimes confused. Described in one place as Ieuan ap Llywelyn, he was probably a native of Trevor, near Llangollen, in Powys Fadog, and kinship with the well-known Denbighshire family of the Trevor s has been claimed for him, although there does not appear to be
TUDUR ALED (fl. 1480-1526), poet Born in the parish of Llansannan, Denbighshire. There are many copies of his pedigree in the manuscripts which, however, do not always tally. It appears that his father's name was Robert and his grand-father's Ithel and that they were descendants of Llywelyn Chwith; Huw ap Dafydd, in his elegy on Tudur Aled, says, ' Ail Iolo, o Lywelyn, Ag o du'r Chwith, gwenith gwyn ' (G.T.A., II, 728). On his
TUDUR PENLLYN (c. 1420 - c. 1485-90), bard For his pedigree, see Peniarth MS 125: Cywyddau ymryson Edmwnd Prys a Wiliam Cynwal, Peniarth MS 139i Peniarth MS 139ii Peniarth MS 139iii, Peniarth MS 176: Achau, Wrexham MS. 1, and Stowe MS. 669. He was Tudur Penllyn ap Ieuan ap Iorwerth Foel, but in one manuscript he is called Tudur Penllyn ap Dafydd ap Ieuan ap Iorwerth Foel. He traced his descent from Meirion Goch, an Edeirnion nobleman who
teulu TURBERVILLE Coity, before 1281. RICHARD I, son of the last named, followed, but only for a short time, as according to G. T. Clark he died in 1283. PAYN III, son of Richard, succeeded and married Wenllian, daughter of Sir Richard Talbot, of Richards Castle. He was ' custos ' of Glamorgan in 1315, and changed many of the officials, among them Llywelyn Bren (Llywelyn ap Gruffydd) of Eglwysilan. The enmity thus aroused was
TYDECHO (fl. 6th century), Celtic saint century bard Dafydd Llwyd ap Llewelyn ap Gruffudd, who lived at Mathafarn, not far from where S. Tydecho is supposed to have settled. From his ' Cywydd Tydecho Saint ' we learn that the saint lived the life of a hermit with his sister Tegfedd, and was frequently annoyed by that arch-enemy of the saints, Maelgwn Gwynedd. In the following century Mathew Brwmfield wrote a Cywydd to Tydecho and the two
VALENTINE, LEWIS EDWARD (1893 - 1986), Baptist minister, author and Welsh nationalist paper ceased publication in 1930, and again when it was revived for a short run in 1936. Although the aims of Y Deyrnas were primarily devotional, it gave Valentine the opportunity to express his culture nationalism, showing the influence of Emrys ap Iwan, particularly with regard to his belief in the inextricable link between religion, language and nation. And it was on the pages of Y Deyrnas that he

His wife was Jane, daughter of David ap Morgan ap John ap Philip. Their heir was ROGER VAUGHAN II, who married Margaret, daughter of Rhys ap Gwilym ap Llewelyn ap Meyrick. It is possible that he was the commissioner of tenths of spiritualties in Radnorshire in January 1535. He had at
teulu VAUGHAN Trawsgoed, Crosswood, Until 1947, when the family residence, Trawsgoed, in the parish of Llanafan, Cardiganshire, became the headquarters of the agricultural advisory service for Wales, the Vaughan family could claim continuous residence on the same site for six centuries. Although it is a South Wales family (apart from inter-marriages with Welsh and English families) the pedigree is traced to Collwyn ap Tangno, who
teulu VAUGHAN Llwydiarth, Howell Vaughan of Glan-llyn, and sister of John Vaughan, who was sheriff of Merioneth in 1594. The son of the sheriff of Montgomeryshire, OWEN, married Catherine, daughter of Morrice ap Robert, heir of Llangedwyn, by whom he had two sons, JOHN (Inner Temple, 1606) and Sir ROBERT, who married Catherine, daughter of William, 1st lord Powis.

teulu VAUGHAN Courtfield, This family, which has given so many of its sons and daughters to the service of the Roman Catholic Church, has its home at Courtfield, in Welsh Bicknor, now in Herefordshire, but formerly in Monmouthshire.
