IEUAN DDU ap DAFYDD ab OWAIN
(
Ieuan Dafydd Ddu
,
Ieuan Dafydd ab Owain
)
(
fl.
c.
1440-1480
), a
poet
of
Glamorgan
.
Nothing is known about him, and no proof exists for connecting him, as
Iolo Morganwg
does, with
Ieuan Ddu
, ancestor of the family of
Dyffryn
,
Aberdare
. A number of
cywyddau
are attributed to him in manuscript, but the only certain example of his work appears to be the
cywydd
to
Ieuan Gethin ap Ieuan ap Lleision
(q.v.)
.
