HYWEL ab OWAIN GWYNEDD
(d. 1170), soldier and poet
The natural son of Owain Gwynedd by Pyfog, an Irishwoman.
Hywel
played a leading part in the occupation of Ceredigion by the house of Gwynedd. His father assigned southern Ceredigion to him in 1139. There was continual strife between him and his uncle Cadwaladr who held northern Ceredigion and Meirionydd. In 1143
Hywel
drove his uncle out of Ceredigion. In 1144 there was a reconciliation and

Dda. When, in 1033, the usurper, Rhydderch ap Iestyn died,
Hywel
and his brother Maredudd, as senior heirs of
Hywel
Dda, became joint kings of Deheubarth. Maredudd's death in 1035 left
Hywel
sole ruler, and on him fell the brunt of defending the south against the Vikings and the northern usurper, Gruffudd ap Llywelyn. Expelled by Gruffudd in 1042

HYWEL SWRDWAL
(fl. 1430-1460), poet
His French surname suggests that there was foreign blood in his family and perhaps it is right to connect the name Swrdwal with the ' de Surda Valle ' which is found in the name of the Norman ' Robertus de Surda Valle ' who enlisted under the banner of lord Bohemund (1096) for one of the crusades, according to Matthew Paris. It may be, too, that
Hywel
Swrdwal was one of the descendants of the Sir
HYWEL DDA
(d. 950), king and legislator
He was generally called '
Hywel
the Good, son of Cadell, prince of all Wales,' and in 'Brut y Tywysogion' he is called ' the head and cynosure of all the Britons.' He is the only Welsh prince to have been called 'the Good.' He was born towards the end of the 9th century but the place of his birth is unknown. Cadell was one of the sons of Rhodri the Great, and his inheritance was the southern part
HYWEL ap GRUFFYDD ap IORWERTH
(fl. c. 1300-1340)
According to a story recorded by Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt about 1650,
Hywel
ap Gruffydd ap Iorwerth was descended from Hwfa ap Cynddelw, founder of one of the so-called 'Fifteen Tribes.' His mother was said to have nursed Edward II after his birth at Caernarvon in 1284; as a result,
Hywel
enjoyed the favour of the king and was knighted by him. He was a man of great physical strength, able to

Driven out of Gwynedd by

Dda when Idwal Foel died in 942, Iago and his brother, Ieuaf were restored when
Hywel
died in 950. Civil strife followed, ending in Ieuaf's defeat in 969 : in 979, Iago was in turn imprisoned by Ieuaf's son,
Hywel
ap Ieuaf, who thereupon became king of Gwynedd. Only Iago can be identified with reasonable confidence among the Welsh who, together with other vassal

His compositions include eulogies of

Hywel
ap Siencyn), Dafydd Deuddwr, Watcyn ap Tomas ap Rhoser, Dafydd ap Gruffudd Deuddwr (Peniarth MS 64, f.243), and Dafydd ab Owain, abbot of Strata Marcella, and poems of a religious nature. It appears from the contents of 'Tebic ywr byd kyngyd kaeth' that towards the end of his life he became blind.
PERYF ap CEDIFOR WYDDEL
(fl. 1170), poet
He was one of eight brothers at least, seven of whom were foster-brothers of
Hywel
ab Owain Gwynedd. When
Hywel
was slain at Pentraeth, Anglesey (1170), in battle against his half-brothers, Dafydd and Rhodri, the sons of Christina, the seven stood by him. Some of them were also slain, and three only of them escaped injury. Ithel, the other brother, had already been killed at Rhuddlan, at an
