PRICHARD, CARADOG
(1904 - 1980), novelist and poet
Caradog
Prichard was born on 3 November 1904 in Bethesda, the youngest of the three sons of John Pritchard and his wife Margaret Jane (née Williams). (The spelling 'Prichard' was Caradog's whim.) John Pritchard worked at the Penrhyn Quarry and had been one of the 2,800 quarrymen involved in the bitter 1900-3 industrial dispute there, although he probably returned to work before the end of the

was successful was entered as 'Côr
Caradog
' the conductor was henceforth known as '
Caradog
.' In 1858 he was appointed conductor of the Aberdare United Choir, and it was his work in this capacity which made him famous, the choir taking the chief prize at eisteddfodau over many years. In 1870 he moved to Treorchy in the Rhondda valley where he formed a male voice choir. In 1872 a choir was formed to
MORGAN ap CARADOG ap IESTYN
(d. c. 1208), lord of the Welsh barony of Avan Wallia (or Nedd-Avan) in the honour of Glamorgan
son of
Caradog
and Gwladus, daughter of Gruffydd ap Rhys ap Tewdwr. Always an unwilling vassal of the Norman lords of Glamorgan, he was closely identified with the policy of his cousin, the 'lord' Rhys, and was probably the leader of the Glamorgan rising of 1183 (?). He was twice married: (1) to Gwenllian, daughter of Ifor Bach; (2) to Gwerful, daughter of Idnerth ap Cadwgan. He had at least four
RHYS ab OWAIN ab EDWIN
(d. 1078), king of Deheubarth
Great-grandson of Einion ab Owain ap Hywel Dda, and the last representative in the senior line of descent from Hywel. Having succeeded his brother, Maredudd, in 1072, he was involved in the death of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn in 1075, and in 1078 he was himself defeated at Goodwick by Trahaearn ap
Caradog
. Later in the year he met his end at the hands of
Caradog
ap Gruffydd, and was succeeded by his
CARADOG ap IESTYN
(fl. 1130), founder of the family of 'Avene' in Glamorgan
He was a son of Iestyn ap Gwrgant. Iestyn is known to history from two entries in Liber Landavensis; in the first he appears low down in the list of lay witnesses to a grant in Edlygion made to bishop Herwald by
Caradog
ap Gruffydd; in the second he is himself a ruler, with a warband for whose misdeeds he makes amends to the same bishop by the gift of a manor in the Ely valley. It would
CARADOG ap GRUFFYDD ap RHYDDERCH
(d. 1081)
The grandson of Rhydderch ap Iestyn, powerful in South Wales until his death in 1033, and the son of Gruffydd ap Rhydderch, the rival of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, by whom he was slain in 1055. The home of the family would seem to have been Gwynllwg and Upper Gwent. It is in this quarter of Wales that

CARADOG
(fl. 1135) LLANCARFAN, man of letters
He is best known from the reference at the end of 'The History of the Kings of Britain' by Geoffrey of Monmouth. Writing about 1135, Geoffrey allows
Caradog
to use as literary material the story of the kings who ruled in Wales after 689, when he closes his detailed narrative, and similarly gives leave to William of Malmesbury and Henry of Huntingdon to recite the history of the English kings. The
RHYS AP TEWDWR
(d. 1093), king of Deheubarth (1078-1093)
He was the son of Tewdwr ap Cadell and thus a descendant of the great tenth-century prince Hywel Dda, but no one from his direct male line had held the kingship since the tenth century. Rhys's rise to power benefitted from the stalled Norman advance into southern Wales after 1075 as well as the efforts of his distant cousin
Caradog
ap Gruffudd (lord of Gwent Uch Coed and Iscoed) to eliminate
CARADOG FYNACH
(d. 1124), recluse
Pembrokeshire, which was to be his next place of retreat, he found too open to Scandinavian attack, and the bishop of S. Davids gave him instead a hermitage at the church of S. Ismaels in Rhos, now known as Haroldston S. Issels. Here he spent the rest of his life, though room must be found for a visit to Bardsey, if he is to be identified with the 'master

Caradog
'; when
Caradog
(Griffith Rhys Jones) moved to Treorchy, Evans became conductor of the 'United Aberdare Choir.' He gave up competing and concentrated on the performance, with the aid of an orchestra, of large works by the masters. He was a good violin player and it was his practice to teach the various voices their parts by playing them for them on that instrument. He used also to write in the
MERFYN FRYCH
(d. 844), king of Gwynedd
son of Gwriad, probably a Manx chieftain and a reputed descendant of Llywarch Hen, by Ethyllt, a princess of Gwynedd. On the death, in 825, of Hywel ap Rhodri Molwynog, his mother's uncle, he became king in Anglesey, and later, on the death of Hywel ap
Caradog
, appears to have acquired the kingship of the adjacent mainland cantrefs. Thus were united the inheritances of the last direct descendants
