CADWALADR CESAIL
(
fl.
1620
),
poet
.
One manuscript justifies the assumption that he lived at ‘y

Elis
Wyn
of that place in
1624
. Seventeen
cywyddau

englynion
by him are extant, the greater part being written in praise of, or on the death of, members of the families of
Gwydir
,
Glynllifon
,
Bodwrda
, etc., one being written to
Huw
Gwyn
of
Berth Ddu
when he was
sheriff
in

. Some of the
englynion
were written to
Ifan Tew
(
the younger
?)
(q.v.)
when he sought appointment as
magistrate
.
