HUW MACHNO (fl. 1585-1637), poet MS 727D, which contains much of his own poetry. He gave this book to Evan Lloyd of Dulasau, father of Sir Richard Lloyd, 1606 - 1676. Among elegies composed by him are poems on the death of Katherine of Berain, 1591, John Tudur, 1602, bishop William Morgan, 1604, Siôn Phylip, 1620, and Thomas Prys of Plas Iolyn, 1634. He had at least three children, Owain (who died 1619, aged eleven, when his
HUW PENNANT Syr (fl. second half of the 15th century), cleric, poet, and antiquary Son of David Pennant of Bychton near Holywell, Flintshire, and brother of Thomas Pennant, abbot of Basingwerk. Some of his poems, all vaticinatory, exist in manuscript. Peniarth MS 182, written by 'Syr' Huw himself c. 1514, includes, among other items, genealogies, poetry, and his Welsh translation of the Latin text of a life of S. Ursula.

HUWS, ALUN 'SBARDUN' (1948 - 2014), musician and composer career in television, working in turn as a researcher, producer and director for HTV Wales and the BBC. He married Gwenno Peris Jones on 29 May 1978. In spite of a long and successful career in broadcasting, Alun, or 'Sbardun' as he was known to all, will be best remembered for his musical talent and his important and prolific contribution to the contemporary Welsh language music scene. During his time
HUWS, RHYS JONES (1862 - 1917), Independent minister
HUXLEY, THOMAS (fl. 1765-1788), printer
HYWEL ap DAFYDD ap IEUAN ap RHYS (fl. c. 1450-1480) Raglan, poet (Neath) and members of the Herbert family of Pembroke and Raglan. It appears from one of the two bardic controversies between him and Guto'r Glyn that he was family poet at Raglan. Other ymrysonau were composed between Bedo Brwynllys and Hywel, and also between Gruffudd ap Dafydd Fychan, Llywelyn Goch y Dant and Hywel. According to Edward Jones (apparently on the authority of Rhys Cain) he was an M.A
HYWEL CILAN (fl. c. the end of the 15th century), poet of whose work many examples remain in manuscript. It appears that he was a native of Edeirnion; Cwrtmawr MS 454B (140) states that he was from Llandderfel; Owen Jones gives him as the owner of Llawr y Cilan in Llandrillo - thus providing a possible explanation for the poet's name. The large majority of his poems are addressed to members of various landed families of North Wales, including
HYWEL GETHIN (fl. c. 1485), poet a native, it is said, of Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfonshire. No details concerning his life remain, but the dates given him, by Owen Jones, Gweirydd ap Rhys, Myrddin Fardd, and Wiliam Owen (viz. 1570-1600) are obviously too late, because a cywydd written by him in praise of the four sons of Rhys ap Hywel ap Madog of Llanystumdwy remains in manuscript; these four persons lived at the end of the 15th
HYWEL SWRDWAL (fl. 1430-1460), poet Hugh Swrdwal who is said to have been granted the manor of Aberyscir for services rendered to Bernard Newmarch when the latter conquered Brecknock (Theophilus Jones, History of the County of Brecknock, 3rd ed., i, 61). However, it is said that Hywel Swrdwal spent the greater part of his life in Cydewain, Montgomeryshire, that he was the bailiff of Newtown between 1454 and 1456, and that apart from
IEUAN ap HUW CAE LLWYD (fl. 1475-1500), one of the minor poets of the 15th century son of Huw Cae Llwyd, born in all probability in Brecknock. He did not write much in the way of poetry and, as he himself avers, laid ho claim to being a great poet. In 1475 he accompanied his father to Rome. He sang the praises of Sir Thomas Vaughan, but it is obvious that his poems are, for the most part, mere exercises and that he was not as competent a poet as his father.
IEUAN ap RHYS ap LLYWELYN (fl. beginning of 16th century), poet At least two examples of his work are preserved in manuscripts, these being a poem written, apparently, on an outbreak of smallpox, and another addressed to Sir Rhys ap Thomas of Dynevor.
