Llywarch Hen
Llywarch Hen (, "Llywarch the Old"; c. 534 – c. 608), was a prince and poet of the Brythonic kingdom of Rheged, a ruling family in the Hen Ogledd or "Old North" of Britain (modern southern Scotland and northern England). Along with Taliesin, Aneirin, and Myrddin, he is held to be one of the four great bards of early Welsh poetry. Whether he actually wrote the poems attributed to him is unknown, and most of what is known about his life is derived from early medieval poems which may or may not be historically accurate. Life Llywarch Hen was the son of Elidurus, chief of Argoed (in the Rheged region, later Cumberland). In the genealogy known as "Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd (The Descent of the Men of the North)" he is listed as a descendant of Coel Hen (King Cole), and is first cousin to King Urien Rheged. It is thought that he may have been a monarch himself, with Urien ruling northern Rheged, and Llywarch ruling the south. In his 1953 book ''The Derbyshire Dales'', Norman Price link ...

Llywarch Ap Hyfaidd
Llywarch ap Hyfaidd (died ) was a king of Dyfed, king of Kingdom of Dyfed, Dyfed from until its conquest around 904 by king of Ceredigion, King Cadell ap Rhodri, Cadell of kingdom of Ceredigion, Ceredigion / Seisyllwg and his son Hywel Dda, Hywel. Upon Llywarch's death, the kingdom passed briefly to his brother Rhodri ap Hyfaidd, Rhodri, but Hywel soon consolidated his rule, eventually merging Dyfed with his paternal inheritance as the new kingdom of Deheubarth. Later Welsh tradition held that Hywel inherited Dyfed peacefully through his supposed marriage to Llywarch's daughter Elen ferch Llywarch, Elen in a manner similar to the stories told about his great-grandfather Merfyn Frych, Merfyn's acquisition of kingdom of Gwynedd, Gwynedd, his grandfather Rhodri the Great, Rhodri's acquisition of kingdom of Powys, Powys, and his father's acquisition of Ceredigion, all of this despite female inheritance of land having no place in the Welsh law of the period. However, the repeated at ...

Llywarch Ap Llywelyn
Llywarch ap Llywelyn ( fl. 1173–1220) was an important medieval Welsh poet. He is also known by his bardic name, "Prydydd y Moch" ("poet of the pigs"). Llywarch was a poet at the court of the kingdom of Gwynedd in the reigns of Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd and Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, and he is known for a number of ''awdlau'' in praise of his lord. One of Llywarch's successors in the court of Gwynedd was the poet Dafydd Benfras, who may possibly have been his son. He was a very nationalistic poet, and his fervent support for Llywelyn's policy of uniting Wales was a prominent element of his poetry. Life We have very little information about Llywarch's life apart from the evidence of his poetry. He was most probably from the commote of Is Dulas (the eastern part of the cantref of Rhos, near Llandulas in the Perfeddwlad). In 1334, the survey of the Lordship of Denbigh recorded the ''gwely'' (in this case meaning tribal land) of ''Prydydd y Moch''. The poet may have acquired this land by ...

Llywarch Llaety
Llywarch Llaety (fl. c. 1140–1160) was a Welsh-language court poet. A single poem by Llywarch survives, the earliest text of which is found in the Hendregadredd manuscript, in praise of Llywelyn ap Madog, son and heir of prince Madog ap Maredudd of Powys. It is possible that Llywarch Llaety is the same person as the poet Llywarch y Nam Llywarch may refer to: *Llywarch Hen (6th century), Brythonic prince and poet * Llywarch ap Hyfaidd (died c. 904), king of Dyfed * Llywarch ap Llywelyn (fl. 1173–1220), medieval Welsh poet. *Llywarch Llaety (fl. 1140–1160), Welsh court poet *Ll ... who also composed a poem in honour of Llywelyn ap Madog.'Gwaith Llywarch Llaety' References Bibliography *Nerys Ann Jones (ed.), 'Gwaith Llywarch Llaety', in Kathleen A.

Floruit
''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the career ...
