POWEL, DAVID (c.1540 - 1598), cleric and historian ' - indeed, he can spare Owain only a page; but he speaks with great severity of the English penal legislation which ensued after his rising. Writing as he did in the age of Elizabeth, he goes out of his way to show that Owain Tudur was no plebeian adventurer but a man of ancient and noble lineage. Yet, interestingly enough, it is not upon the Tudor family of Penmynydd ancestry that he bases his queen's
POWELL, WILLIAM EIFION (1934 - 2009), minister (Cong.) and college principal influence of Principal Gwilym Bowyer and Professor R. Tudur Jones. In Bangor he gained his B.D. in 1958.

teulu PULESTON Emral, Plas-ym-mers, Hafod-y-wern, Llwynycnotiau, (died 1469), whose father, JOHN PULESTON (will proved 17 April 1444), had married Angharad, daughter of Griffith Hanmer and grand-daughter of Tudur ap Gronwy of Anglesey, was a staunch Lancastrian and held Denbigh castle as deputy-constable to his kinsman, Jasper, earl of Pembroke during the campaign of 1460-1.

RAFF ap ROBERT (fl. 1550) Cilgwyn, Bachymbyd, 'a free holder of Dyffryn Clwyd' and a non-professional poet (Jes. Coll. MS. 18) (R.W.M. II, 88). His pedigree is given in Peniarth MS 134 (142-3). As he composed an elegy on the death of Tudur Aled (c. 1526), and as another of his cywyddau is dated 1582 in one manuscript, it would appear that he lived to an advanced age; this is borne out in the elegy upon him by Siôn Tudur (Llanstephan MS 166 (89)). His work includes satirical englynion to Gruffudd
REES, THOMAS (1825 - 1908), minister (CM) biographies: Cofiant y diweddar Barch. Ebenezer Williams, Aberhonddu (1882) and (with D.M.

RHISIERDYN (fl. latter half of the 14th century) Gwynedd, poet His canon has not been fixed, and there are textual confusions.

Poetry and in The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales Rhisierdyn sang panegyric awdlau to Gronwy (Fychan) ap Tudur (died 1382; see Ednyfed Fychan) and to Myfanwy his wife, and an elegiac
RHYS NANMOR (fl. 1480-1513), poet His genealogy is found in Peniarth MS 268 (585), and Dwnn, ii, 284; there he is described as a 'penkerdd,' i.e. a member of the highest order of bards, and 'ab Maredudd ab Ieuan ab Dafydd Tudur,' etc. Rhys's mother was Nest, daughter of Owen ap Ierwerth. He is said to have been a pupil of Dafydd Nanmor, but there is no evidence that they were related. He was primarily a 'family poet' to Sir Rhys
RICHARDS, DAVID WILLIAM (1893 - 1949), preacher and philosopher Caradog, killed himself, and it is clear that another son had died before this though the details were not made public. It was all too much for David Richards and he took his own life at his home 24 April 1949. In this tragic way the life of this genius came to an end. Dr R. Tudur Jones (Hanes Annibynwyr Cymru (1966), p. 306, Congregationalism in Wales (2004), p. 243) says that David Richards's
ROBERT (ab) IFAN (fl. c. 1572-1603), poet (yet neither father nor son would seem to have been paying subsidy).

Some of his work, in his own handwriting, is to be found in Christ Church MS. 184 (for a photostat copy see NLW MS 6495D
