Although he was not born in Wales (but in the Midlands) Lloyd-Owen was Welsh by blood and interests, claiming descent from the old Welsh family associated with Mathafarn, Montgomeryshire; see the pedigree registered by him in the College of Arms. His medical
LLUELYN, MARTIN (1616 - 1682), poet and physician son of Martin Lluelyn of London; born 12 December 1616. His Welsh origin seems to be attested by his name. There is, besides, the description of his son George by Burney (History of Music, 1789, 3, 495 n.) as ' a Jacobitical, musical, and Welsh parson.' He was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford, where he graduated (B.A. 1640 and M.A. 1643). In the Civil War he joined the
LLWYD, ANGHARAD (1780 - 1866), antiquary Born 15 April 1780 at Caerwys, Flintshire, and died at Ty'n y Rhyl, Rhyl, 16 October 1866. Her father was John Lloyd (1733 - 1793), rector of Caerwys. Angharad was a member of the London Cymmrodorion Society and the recipient of several gold and silver medals awarded at eisteddfodau for prize winning essays. In the Welshpool eisteddfod of 1824 she obtained the second prize for an essay entitled
LLWYD, FFOWC (fl. c. 1580-1620) Fox Hall,, poet and squire son of Siôn Llwyd and his first wife, Sybil, daughter of Richard Glyn. His wife was Alice, daughter of Ffowc ap Thomas ap Gronw. Little is known about him and only a few of his poems remain in MSS. These include those to Sir John Lloyd of Yale (NLW MS 3057D, 962) and Thomas Prys of Plas Iolyn (B.M. Add. MS. 14896, 58); and also one which reveals the poet's acquaintance with contemporary life in
LLWYD, HARRI (bu farw 1799), Wesleyan lay preacher His early history is still obscure. He is said to have been convinced of his sin under the ministry of David Jones (nephew of Griffith Jones, Llanddowror?) at the Llanlluan chapel-of-ease; this conviction was deepened by the preaching of Howel Harris and the full light burst upon him about August 1743 - one of the few relatively certain dates in his early history. He was a Wesleyan lay preacher
LLWYD, HUMPHREY (1527 - 1568), physician and antiquary Born 1527 at Denbigh, son of Robert Llwyd (or Lloyd) and Joan, daughter of Lewis Pigott. He was educated at Oxford; B.A. 1547, M.A. 1551. He studied medicine and became private physician to lord Arundel, chancellor of the University at Oxford, but returned to Denbigh in 1563. Although a practising physician Llwyd was interested in music and arts, and was described by Anthony à Wood as ' a person
LLWYD, HUW (Huw Llwyd o Gynfal; 1568? - 1630?), soldier and bard to Edmund Prys). In one cywydd he asks Thomas Prys, of Plas Iolyn, Denbighshire, for a couple of hounds; see also a cywydd by Hugh Salesbury who asks Edward Lloyd, S. Asaph, to let Huw Llwyd have a greyhound cub this was on 6 October 1606. A medical treatise in the hand of Ellis Wynne ('Y Bardd Cwsc') in Peniarth MS 123 is taken from a MS. belonging to Huw Llwyd, who appears to have had some skill
LLWYD, MORGAN (1619 - 1659), littérateur, poet, mystic
LLWYD, RICHARD (Bard of Snowdon; 1752 - 1835), poet and authority on Welsh heraldry and genealogy instrumental in raising a monument to David Hughes, founder of the free school at which he had been educated; he failed in his efforts to erect a memorial to Owen Jones (Owain Myfyr). He had throughout life been interested in books, manuscripts, and records of the assistance which he gave to such writers as Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Richard Fenton, Peter Roberts, was duly acknowledged. He came to be considered
LLWYD, STEPHEN (1794 - 1854), musician Born 1794 at Llystyn-bach, Nevern, Pembrokeshire, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Lloyd. He was given some education and was then brought to his father's trade of tailoring. His music instructor was Dafydd Siencyn Morgan. He settled at Fishguard, was appointed precentor at the Baptist chapel there, and soon became known throughout the county as a musician. In 1840 he moved to Pontypridd, where he
LLWYD, HUMPHREY (c. 1527 - 1568), antiquary and map-maker had received his B.A. in 1547 and thereafter had been a commoner of Brasenose College where he received his M.A. in 1551. Wood's assertion that Llwyd studied medicine appears to be based on the existence of two translations of medical texts which were ascribed to Llwyd. However, as Professor R. Geraint Gruffydd points out, they are more likely to have been the work of Humphrey Lloyd of Leighton who
LLYWELYN FARDD (fl. c. 1150-1175), poet His dates and list of works are not easily fixed. Cerdd Dafod gives c. 1185 - 1220, but J. Lloyd-Jones has c. 1155 - 1200. It may be suggested that there were two poets of the same name, one in the 12th century, and the other in the 13th century, and that that is why the ' Red Book of Hergest ' refers to ' Llywelyn Fardd, son of Cywryd.' This poet was the earlier, and apparently a native of
