ANGHARAD
(d. 1162)
, Gwenllian married Gruffydd ap Rhys, and Susanna married
Madog
ap Maredudd. Angharad is singled out for lavish praise by her husband's biographer, as a handsome blonde, gentle, eloquent, generous, discreet, good to her people and charitable to the poor. Gruffydd left her, in addition to the half of his goods as provided by Welsh law, two shares of land (rhandir) and the profits of the port of Abermenai.

Baddy entered Frankland's Academy at Rathmell, Yorkshire, on 25 November 1689, and from 1691 to 1693 was a scholar of the Common Fund Board (Nicholson and Axon, The Older Non-conformity in Kendal, and Gordon, Freedom after Ejection, 204). In 1693, he was placed in charge of the Independent congregation at Denbigh, newly re-established by a visit (1690) of James Owen; he remained

He was the second son of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn. He is first heard of in 1088, when, with his brothers,

gather that he hailed from Gwerthryniawn (now part of Radnorshire), and that his verse was 'correct by Latin standards' or by the rhetorical standards of his period. In some manuscripts ' Cneppyn Gwerthryniawn ' is given as one of several nicknames borne by Sypyn Cyfeiliog or Dafydd Bach ap

He had at least one son, named Dygynnelw, who was killed in battle (The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales, 185a). Cynddelw was appointed leading poet to the court of
