Angharad Llwyd

Angharad Llwyd (April 15 1780 – October 16 1866) was a Welsh antiquary and a prizewinner at the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

She was born at Caerwys in Flintshire, the daughter of Rev. John Lloyd, himself a noted antiquary. Her essay entitled "Catalogue of Welsh Manuscripts, etc. in North Wales" won a prize at the Welshpool eisteddfod of 1824. In 1827 she edited a revised version of Sir John Wynn's "History of the Gwydir Family". In the following year, she was among those awarded silver medals by Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, during his visit to the eisteddfod at Denbigh. She won another first prize at the Beaumaris eisteddfod of 1833.
