IEUAN ap HUW CAE LLWYD
(
fl.
1475-1500
),
one of the minor poets of the 15th cent.
;
son of
Huw Cae Llwyd
(q.v.)
, born in all probability in
Brecknock
. He did not write much in the way of poetry and, as he himself avers, laid ho claim to being a great
poet
. In
1475
he accompanied his father to
Rome
. He sang the praises of
Sir
Thomas
Vaughan
(see under
Vaughan
of
Bredwardine
) but it is obvious that his poems are, for the most part, mere exercises and that he was not as competent a
poet
as his father.
