Morgan Llwyd  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to:
navigation, search  Morgan Llwyd (1619 – 3 June 1659) was a
Welsh Puritan preacher, poet and prose writer.   Llwyd was born
in the parish of Maentwrog, Gwynedd. His grandfather Huw Llwyd
was a professional soldier who was also a noted Welsh language
poet, and also had a reputation as an astrologer and magician.
Morgan Llwyd came to prominence during Oliver Cromwell's rule,
and wrote about the psychology of spiritual experience. His most
influential book was Llyfr y Tri Aderyn ("The Book of the Three
Birds") in 1653. This is in the form of a dialogue between an
eagle (representing secular authority, particularly Cromwell); a
dove (representing the Puritans); and a raven (representing the
Anglican establishment).  Morgan Llwyd is credited with being
the first Nonconformist minister in Wrexham. He died there and
is buried in the Dissenters' Burial Ground in Rhosddu, Wrexham.
Ysgol Morgan Llwyd, the Welsh language high school in Wrexham is
