LEWIS, JOSEPH RHYS

'Nazareth,' which became very popular in the Welsh religious revival of 1904-5. He also composed operas called '
Caradog
' and 'Resurrected Life.' He died 17 June 1920 at Ferndale, and was buried in the Ferndale cemetery.
MORGAN ap HYWEL
(fl. 1210-1248), Welsh lord of Gwynllwg or Caerleon
under the earls of Gloucester (lords of Glamorgan), a descendant of Rhydderch ap Iestyn ap Gwrgant. It may be useful to enter under his name a note on his family, compiled from Lloyd, A History of Wales (see the genealogy on p. 771 of that work).
Caradog
ap Gruffudd, grandson of Rhydderch ap Iestyn, was killed in the battle of Mynydd Cam (1081). By 1140 we hear of Caradog's son, OWAIN AP
CARADOG
MORGAN GAM
(d. 1241), lord of the Welsh barony of Avan Wallia (or Nedd-Afan) in the honour of Glamorgan
son of Morgan ap
Caradog
ap Iestyn, probably by Gwenllian, daughter of Ifor Bach. He succeeded his elder brother, Lleision, c. 1213, and, reverting to his father's policy of alliance with the Welsh princes, well served the interests of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth by harassing the Clare lords of Glamorgan. He married, according to the pedigrees, (1) Janet, daughter of Elidyr Ddu, (2) Ellen, daughter of
TRAHAEARN ap CARADOG
(d. 1081), king of Gwynedd
He is said to have been the son of one
Caradog
ap Gwyn ap Collwyn and a cousin of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn. By natural right ruler of Arwystli, his career between 1075 and 1081 is one of the foremost illustrations in Welsh history of how a bold and ambitious personality among the minor lords of Wales could usurp regal powers over an extensive area at moments when the fortunes of the major dynasties were
IEUAN GETHIN ap IEUAN ap LLEISION
(fl. c. 1450) Baglan, poet and gentleman
A descendant of the family of
Caradog
ap Iestyn ap Gwrgant. According to some genealogists (e.g. Gruffudd Hiraethog in Peniarth MS 178, i (43)) he married the daughter of Tomas ab Ifor Hael. Bards from North and South Wales were entertained at his court at Baglan, and two cywyddau addressed to him remain in manuscript, one by Ieuan Ddu ap Dafydd ab Owain, and the other by Iorwerth Fynglwyd. A
TATHAN
(fl. 5th century), saint
Tathalius ruled, not in Ireland, but among the Goidels of North Wales. The 'Life' is mostly legendary, but it is clear that Tathan settled in Gwent, and that
Caradog
, king of all Gwent, made him a grant of land at Caerwent, where he established a school and monastery. S. Cadog, son of king Gwynllyw, was his disciple. His festival is on 26 December (in the English Martyrology, 23 November). He is patron of
HENRY, JOHN
(1859 - 1914), musician
' Gwlad y Delyn.' He also composed part-songs, e.g. ' Nos Ystorm,' and ' Selene,' a cantata called ' Olga,' and an opera '
Caradog
.' He died 14 January 1914 and was buried at Liverpool.
STEPHEN, THOMAS
(1856 - 1906), musician

Caradog
), and when the latter gave up the conductorship and was succeeded by Rhys Evans, Stephen became assistant conductor. In 1877 he became precentor
EVANS, STEPHEN
(1818 - 1905), Cymmrodor

Caradog
' to London in 1873 and when, partly through the enthusiasm caused by the choir's success, the Society of the Cymmrodorion was revived at a meeting in the Freemasons Tavern
MEILYR BRYDYDD
(fl. c . 1100-1137), chief court-poet
-Jones noted a chronological difficulty in accepting as the work of Meilyr Brydydd the elegy to Trahaearn ap
Caradog
and Meilyr ap Rhiwallon who were slain at Mynydd Cam (1081). The only other remaining poems by him are the elegy to Gruffudd ap Cynan (1137) and the poet's own death-bed lament. In the former, as Sir J. E. Lloyd observed, we have the earliest extant expression in Welsh poetry of the
