No details concerning his life remain, but the dates given him, by Owen Jones, Gweirydd ap Rhys, Myrddin Fardd, and Wiliam Owen (viz. 1570-1600) are obviously too late, because a cywydd written by him in praise of the four sons of Rhys ap Hywel ap Madog of Llanystumdwy remains in manuscript; these four persons lived at the end of the 15th
