IEUAN ap BEDO GWYN, or IEUAN BEDO GWYN (fl. c. 1530-1590?), poet
and owner of the Llysyn estate (Llanerfyl, Mont.) before its purchase by the Herbert family; descendant of one of the younger branches of the family of Neuadd Wen (a neighbouring estate), and therefore of Maredudd, brother of Gruffudd ap Cynan. A little only of his work remains, and this includes a cywydd written to Dafydd ap Ieuan Llwyd (q.v.) of Nantmynach, in 1538.
