OWAIN, OWAIN LLEWELYN
(1877 - 1956), litterateur, musician and journalist
Born 3 July 1877 at Blaen-yr-yrfa, Tal-y-sarn, Nantlle Valley, Caernarfonshire, one of the eight children of Hugh Owen and his wife Mary. When
Owain
was young, the family moved to Bryn-y-coed in the same district. At twelve years of age the lad went to work to Gloddfa Glai quarry and to 'Cornwall' later. When he was aged fifteen he took to journalism and became a member of the editorial staff of
OWAIN, Syr DAFYDD
, cleric and poet
OWAIN ap GRUFFYDD
(fl. 1260), prince of Gwynedd
1277, and to establish him as lord over part of Llŷn. The assumption has been that he died before the final catastrophe of 1282, but for another view which has not much to support it, see The Transactions of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion, 1899-1900, 44-7.
Owain
was undoubtedly the worst victim of the drive against the custom of partible succession pursued by the two Llywelyns.
OWAIN CYFEILIOG
(c. 1130 - 1197), prince and poet
Son of Gruffudd, brother of Madog ap Maredudd, prince of Powys. In 1149 Madog appointed him under-lord of Cyfeiliog. About 1153 Rhys ap Gruffydd attacked this commote, and although
Owain
was later to marry his daughter, they remained enemies for years. After the death of Madog in 1160,
Owain
held Cyfeiliog on his own account, and in 1163 he joined, with
Owain
Fychan, to capture and destroy the
DWNN, OWAIN
(c. 1400 - c. 1460), poet
Of Modlyscwm (or ' Muddlescombe'), Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire. His grandfather was the Henry Don who was an adherent of
Owain
Glyn Dŵr (Lloyd, Owen Glendower, 41). The documents of the period 1436-46 make frequent mention of
Owain
Dwnn. He had a sister Mabli, the first wife of Gruffudd ap Nicholas of Dynevor, and both
Owain
and Gruffudd were imprisoned as followers of Humphrey, duke of Gloucester
LLYWARCH ap BRAN
(fl. c. 1137), founder of one of the 'Fifteen (Noble) Tribes of Gwynedd'
is described as brother-in-law of
Owain
Gwynedd, their wives being daughters of Gronw ab
Owain
ab Edwin, lord of Tegeingl. Like Hwfa ap Cynddelw, he is said to have been steward to
Owain
Gwynedd and to have lived in the township of Tref Llywarch, Anglesey; he is also described as lord of the commote of Menai, Anglesey. For the names of some of the families who claimed descent from him see Philip
MADOG ap MAREDUDD
(d. 1160), king of Powys
Son of Maredudd ap Bleddyn ap Cynfyn. He was the last of his dynasty to rule as king over the whole of Powys, including, for a time, the Fitzalan lordship of Oswestry (see
Owain
Brogyntyn). Succeeding his father in 1132, his main pre-occupation, particularly between the years 1149-57, was the defence of Powys against the aggression of
Owain
Gwynedd. Threatened by the building of the castle of
OWAIN GWYNEDD
(OWAIN GWYNEDD; c. 1100 - 1170), king of Gwynedd
Second son of Gruffudd ap Cynan and Angharad, daughter of
Owain
ab Edwin, The existence of another
Owain
ap Gruffydd, known as
Owain
Cyfeiliog, explains the use of the distinctive style of '
Owain
Gwynedd.' He married (1) Gwladus, daughter of Llywarch ap Trahaearn, (2) Christina, his cousin, daughter of Gronw ap Owen ap Edwin, to whom he remained constant despite the active disapproval of the
GRUFFYDD ap MADOG
(d. 1191)
son of Madog ap Maredudd by Susanna, daughter of Gruffudd ap Cynan, and the founder of the principal ruling family of northern Powys during the 13th century. When the province was divided into two spheres of influence on the death of Madog ap Maredudd in 1160, territories north of the Rhaeadr were subject to further subdivision among Gruffydd and his brothers - see
Owain
Fychan and
Owain
GWALCHMAI ap MEILYR
(fl. 1130-1180), court poet
one of the earlier Gogynfeirdd. He sang to
Owain
Gwynedd (died 1170) to his brothers, to Dafydd and Rhodri his sons, and also to Madog ap Maredudd of Powys (died 1160). Other extant poems of his are his ' Gorhoffedd ' (vaunting poem), his ' Dream,' and his verses to Eve, his wife. The Hendreg. MS. and the 'Red Book of Hergest' also attribute to him an ode to God which according to The Myvyrian
CYNAN ab OWAIN
(d. 1174), prince
was the son of
Owain
Gwynedd by an unknown mother. In 1145, he and his brother Hywel joined in an attack upon Cardigan; the town was sacked, but the castle was not taken. Two years later the two brothers invaded Meirionnydd and drove out their uncle Cadwaladr; as they entered the cantref from opposite directions it would seem that Cynan was now established in Ardudwy. In 1150 it is recorded that
OWAIN TUDOR
(c. 1400 - 1461), courtier
Grandfather of Henry VII, son of Maredudd ap 'Sir' Tudur ap Goronwy Fychan (see under Ednyfed Fychan) by Margaret, daughter of Dafydd Fychan ap Dafydd Llwyd. The circumstances surrounding the early part of his life are very obscure, but it is certain that as a young man he became a servant in the household of Henry V, possibly through the influence of his courtier kinsman, Maredudd ab
