A bardic controversy, or ymryson, occurred between the elder and the Mastr Harri, and between the younger and Bedo Hafesp; he also took part in another, together with the three poets, Siôn Phylip, Wiliam Llŷn, and Hywel Ceiriog, against Wiliam Cynwal and Huw Llŷn.

IORWERTH FYNGLWYD (fl. c. 1480-1527), bard also. He sang much to gentlemen in his own province - members of the families of Games, Stradling, Bawdrip, and Mansel, and to David, abbot of Margam, between 1500 and 1517. But his chief patron was Rhys ap Siôn, Aberpergwm, the most distinguished member of that notable family.

JONES, Syr THOMAS (bu farw 1622?), cleric and poet , 282), taken he alleges, ' from the book of Harri Siôn of Pontypool ' - how truthfully we cannot tell, any more than we can check W. O. Pughe's statement in Cambrian Biography (but derived in all probability from Iolo) that Thomas Jones took part in an eisteddfod at Llandaff in 1588.
