Of Marchudd one of the Fifteen Tribes of Gwyneth.
¶ Marchudd ap Conan ap Elvyw of Uwch dulas in Denbigh∣land was Lord of Abergeley, and had his Seat at Brynffanigl. Sir Tho: ap William's book saith he lived A. D. 84••, but others are of opinion he lived before that time, for as much as wee have it recorded in an old Welsh MS. that Inethan his Gran∣child and Lord also of Abergeley dyed in the yeare 849. But Powell of Ednop in his verses of him will have him to have lived after, in the time of Prince Edwal Voel A. D. 913.
Stren••us Uchdulae Marchudd bellator in orbe
Sanguineo tumidi spolium praelustre Gigantis
Aequali pugnâ & justo certamine caesi
Fert caput avulsum, tanti{que} insigne triumphi
Tortilis argenti nitidi{que} Corona revincit,
Hoc genere Henricus Rex nomine septimus ortus,
Claruit Idwallo sub Calvo Rege Britanno.
