| biography:
| Legendary Welsh prince, long believed by his countrymen to have discovered America in 1170. The story is in Hakluyt's Voyages (1582) and Lloyd and Powell's Cambria (1584). The essay by Thomas Stephens written in 1858 for the Eisteddfod, and published in 1893, proved it to be baseless. |
