DEINIOL (d. 584), saint, founder of Bangor and first bishop in Gwynedd David would have been too young at the time. There is no reason to doubt that Deiniol attended the synod of Brefi. According to the Ann. C. he died in 584, but it is possible that this date, like the dates given for the deaths of David and Kentigern, is twelve years later than it should be, in which case the correct date is 572.

DILLWYN family by 1800 (Theophilus Jones, History of the County of Brecknock, 3rd ed., iii, 65 - but the statement there that the poet Ieuan Deulwyn was of this family cannot stand). Of the remainder, who retained their name, a WILLIAM DILLWYN, a Quaker, emigrated to Pennsylvania c. 1699 (History of the County of Brecknock 70).

DOLBEN family Segrwyd, - see the article Mostyn of Mostyn) and pioneer of the broadcloth industry at Denbigh (1749- c. 1770). Other branches of the family remained prominent in local society and politics until the 18th century, some members holding minor office under the revived Council of Wales after the Restoration (Calendar of State Papers, Domestic Series, 1660-1 (104), 1667 (139); Cal. Treas. Books, iv, 751, vi, 534
DUNAWD (fl. 6th century), saint . With his three sons Deiniol, Cynwyl, and Gwarthan, he founded the monastery of Bangor Iscoed on the banks of the Dee in Flintshire, and became its first abbot.

The finest examples of his work are to be found in Llanstephan MS 40 and in the notes in NLW MS 3063E, but there is evidence that other manuscripts have been lost.
