CYNLLO
(fl. 550?), saint
that his sway extended over almost the whole of Gwerthrynion and Maelienydd; his predominance is not so marked in south Cardiganshire, but even here Llangoedmor was the mother church of an area which at one time probably included Cardigan. Llanbister was even more important and in 1291 was one of the three richest churches in the diocese. Cynllo's day was 17 July; the festival is mentioned by

DAFYDD ALAW
(fl. 1550), poet
who graduated ' Disgybl Ysbâs Cerdd Dafod ' at the Caerwys eisteddfod of 1568. He may have been a bardic disciple of
Lewis
Môn, whom he commemorates in an elegy (NLW MS 1553A). His extant work, most of which is to be found in Llanstephan MS 123, Llanstephan MS 125 and Llanstephan MS 133, consists mainly of cywyddau and awdlau in praise of members of some of the principal county families of
DAFYDD BENWYN
(fl. second half of the 16th century), bards of Glamorgan
most prolific of the bards of Glamorgan; he sang the praises of most of the landed families of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. Although he was the bardic disciple of Rhisiart Iorwerth (and, possibly, of
Lewis
Morgannwg also) and inherited the lore of the older chief bards (penceirddiaid), his poems are commonplace and stereotyped. No better way can be found of illustrating the deterioration in Glamorgan

(d. before 1469), prominent figure in Cydewain and a generous patron of the 15th century bards
He traced his ancestry to Elstan Glodrydd; one of his forebears migrated from Cefnllys to Mochdre, and his father settled at Newtown. His praises were sung by
Lewis
Glyn Cothi, Llawdden, and Guto'r Glyn, who laid stress on the wealth of his entertainment and on his generosity towards the bards. It appears that Hywel Swrdwal was his household bard, and that he died shortly before his patron. His

dictus dominus david ap hoell ap Ieuan ap Iorwerth Rector ecclesie pariochialis de llanallgo in comitatu anglesega' (N.L.W. Carreglwyd document 1824). An elegy on him by Ieuan ap Madoc seems to suggest that he died in 1527 or early in 1528 - Ieuan ap Madoc refers in his elegy to the death of two other contemporary bards, Tudur Aled (died 1526) and

Rhygyfarch's work; so also is his 'Life' by John of Tynemouth (c. 1290 - 1350). The Welsh 'Life' also is a translation and an adaptation of Rhygyfarch's work: the earliest version is found in 'The Book of the Anchorite of Llanddewi-frefi' (1346). Odes to David were composed by many later poets, e.g. Iolo Goch, Ieuan Rhydderch ap Ieuan Llwyd, Dafydd Llwyd ap Llywelyn, Rhisiart ap Rhys,

(1701? - 1756), Independent minister
he lived at Cilast near Manordivy, Pembrokeshire, and was a well-to-do farmer. He seems to have begun preaching c. 1736, and in 1745 succeeded

Thomas (of Bwlch-sais) as pastor of the churches of Rhydyceisiaid, Carmarthenshire, and Glandŵr, Pembrokeshire. He itinerated over a wide area, reaching as far north as S. Dogmaels; in 1747-8 he had the assistance of Evan Williams (1719 - 1748), of

He was a member of Plaid Cymru in the 1930s, but could not accept the anti-war stance of Saunders

and stood as an Independent

schools became a regular feature of their training across Wales. As well as arranging these courses - featuring a range of prominent guest speakers from among her friends, such as Saunders

- she was very active in the social life of the various areas in which she lived. She had, in her own words, 'a relentless urge to try to create entertainment in Welsh within society'. This was a mission, as
