TUDUR ALED (fl. 1480-1526), poet Born in the parish of Llansannan, Denbighshire. There are many copies of his pedigree in the manuscripts which, however, do not always tally.

He traced his descent from Meirion Goch, an Edeirnion nobleman who
VAUGHAN family Hergest, Kington , Herefordshire, in 1484, and he was made seneschal of the lordship of Brecknock by Thomas ap Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower. He was an arbitrator in a case of murder in 1485 (B.M. Harl. MS. 6079). The bards were extravagant in their eulogies on him. Tudur Penllyn says that he was the controller of all taxes in Powys, and that he was a constable on the banks of both the Vyrnwy and the Wye. Nine children are
VAUGHAN family Corsygedol, bard Tudur Penllyn. Robert Vaughan, the antiquary, of Hengwrt, says that Jasper Tudor 'lay in Corsygedol, when he fled to France in the time of Edward IV,' Vaughan adding that, 'as some say,' Henry, earl of Richmond, was with him.

The theory put forward by the compilers of the History of Parliament, that this David Lloyd was Member of Parliament for
WILIAM LLYN (1534 or 1535 - 1580) Llŷn, poet According to contemporary references. Like Simwnt Fychan, Wiliam Cynwal, and Siôn Tudur, he was Gruffudd Hiraethog's pupil, and his name appears as one of the four poets who graduated as chief bards at the Caerwys eisteddfod, 1568. It may be inferred that most of his patrons lived in Merioneth, Montgomeryshire, Denbighshire, and Caernarvonshire, but he addressed eulogies to families as widely
WYNN family Bodewryd, his name to a part of the parish of Caerdegog called ' Gwely Meuric ap Gathayran ' in the Record of Caernarvon (1352). The next three links in the genealogy were GRIFFITH AP MEYRICK, HOWELL AP GRIFFITH, and EDNYVED AP HOWELL. EVAN AB EDNYVED AP HOWELL, who married Angharad, daughter of Howell ap Tudur, is said to have died in 1403. If this is correct he must have lived to a great age, for his son
