(Adam Usk; 1352? - 1430), lawyer
obscurity. He died early in 1430 and was buried in the priory church of Usk, where his epitaph, composed in the Welsh cywydd metre, is still to be seen. His will has also been preserved, in which he makes many bequests to religious causes in the diocese of Llandaff and to persons bearing Welsh names. Among his legacies was one to his executor and relative, Edward
ab
Adam. This was his copy of Higden's
ADDA FRAS
(1240? - 1320?), poet and writer of prophecies
they wrote to each other often refer to him not only as a writer of prophecies, but as a past master in the poet's craft (see Peniarth MS 94 and Gwaith Tudur Aled, ii, 743), and especially Tudur Aled's elegy (Gwaith Tudur Aled, i, 283) to Dafydd
ab
Edmwnd. Comparatively little of his work has survived. It is impossible to state with certainty, at present, how much of it is authentic, as some of it is
ALMER
family Almer, Pant Iocyn,
This family was descended in an unbroken line from the 11th century reconqueror of Denbighshire east of the Dyke, Ithel
ab
Eunydd. The surname was first adopted by JOHN ALMER, who held minor office at the court of Henry VIII and obtained for his sons John and William posts as sergeants-at-arms. Between 1554 and 1558 Almer was demolished, and its stones used to build Pant Iocyn, a short distance
ANARAWD ap GRUFFYDD
(d. 1143), prince
Letterston had persecuted the clergy and people of the Pebidiog peninsula. In 1138, with his brother Cadell, he joined
Owain
and Cadwaladr, now dominating Ceredigion, in an attack upon Cardigan castle which was still held by the Normans; a formidable array of Viking ships appeared in furtherance of the enterprise at the mouth of the Teify, but hostilities were suspended by a truce and nothing came of the
ANGHARAD
(d. 1162)
She was the wife of Gruffudd ap Cynan, was a daughter of
Owain
ab
Edwin, a chieftain of eastern Gwynedd. She married Gruffudd about 1095, during his early struggle for power, and survived her husband many years, dying in 1162. Their children were Cadwallon (died 1132),
Owain
(Gwynedd), and Cadwaladr, and five daughters, named Gwenllian, Marared (Margaret), Rainillt, Susanna, and Annest. Of these
ANIAN
(d. 1266), bishop of St Asaph
He succeeded to the see on the death of Hywel
ab
Ednyfed (died 1247). The Middle Country was at the time under the control of the Crown, and both Einion himself and his chapter formally conceded, on 15 September 1249, the right of the king to authorize an election and to approve the choice, as in the case of an English bishopric. Before 27 September the bishop elect had done homage and had by

February 1784, and his body was brought to S. Athan for burial. Elegies to his memory were written by John Williams, S. Athan, 1728 - 1806, and William Williams, Pantycelyn. At the same time David Jones, Llan-gan, published a booklet giving an account of his life: Llythyr oddiwrth Dafydd
ab
Ioan y Pererin at Ioan
ab
Gwilim y Prydydd … (Trevecka, 1784).
BEDO HAFESP
(fl. 1568-1585), poet of Montgomeryshire
his skill was equal to that of poets like
Owain
Gwynedd, Siôn Tudur, Ifan Tew, Rhys Cain, etc. (Llanstephan MS 43 (22)). The last date appertaining to him is 1585, when he wrote a poem on the death of Siôn Gruffydd of Llŷn.
BLEDDYN ap CYNFYN
(d. 1075), prince
. His career was cut short in 1075, when Rhys
ab
Owain
and the nobles of Ystrad Tywi contrived his death. The tragedy was much deplored in Mid Wales, and when his cousin, Trahaearn ap Caradog, defeated Rhys (1078) in the battle of Goodwick and drove him into headlong flight, it was held to have been signally avenged. High praise is bestowed upon Bleddyn by the chronicle which was now kept at
BLEDDYN FARDD
(fl. 1268-1283), one of the bards of the independent Welsh princes
Thirteen of his odes are preserved in the NLW MS 6680B: Hendregadredd Manuscript. He sang chiefly to the sons of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn ap Iorwerth and to the chieftains of Gwynedd, but he has one ode to Rhys ap
Maredudd
ap Rhys of South Wales. His entire work consists of eulogies and elegies, with the exception of his 'Marwysgafn' or last confession. The earliest ode by him which can be dated is
BONARJEE, DOROTHY NOEL
(1894 - 1983), poet and lawyer
Treasurer of the Literary and Debating Society, and a member of the editorial board for the student magazine, The Dragon, in which she published several poems. In 1914, Bonarjee gained significant acclaim amongst her peers when she won the bardic chair at the college eisteddfod for her poem on

Lawgoch. Writing under the pseudonym 'Shita', Bonarjee received 'a deafening ovation' when she revealed
