TOUT, THOMAS FREDERICK (1855 - 1929), historian Wales in D.N.B. Before Sir John Lloyd in 1893 undertook the work, Tout wrote mostly on the Welsh of the Middle Ages; but his knowledge was not confined to that period - it was he e.g. who wrote the article on Charles of Bala; note also his paper ' Wales under the Stuarts ' in Liverpool Welsh Nat.

Described in one place as Ieuan ap Llywelyn, he was probably a native of Trevor, near Llangollen, in Powys Fadog, and kinship with the well-known Denbighshire family of the Trevor s has been claimed for him, although there does not appear to be
