CADWALADR ap RHYS TREFNANT (fl. 1600), poet. Very little is known of him, and very little of his work is extant. His poetical compositions are mainly addressed to members of Montgomeryshire families; we have one to Sir Edward Herbert, lord of Powys, and some others to Huw ap Iefan of Mathafarn and Lewys Gwyn.
