Ideally we get the "public" to vote for our un-sung Welsh heroes, and as long as they are obscure, unheard, unseen, unrecognised, heb eu hurddo - they have a good chance of getting in ! 1. Gwilym Cowlyd Horse meat eater, book publisher and book seller from Llanrwst, writer and poet/bard who with his gang of fellow Dyffryn Conwy bards established Arwest Glan Geirionydd (the gwrth-Eisteddfod). A true visionary / radical / maverick / and the only man I know of to interrupt the Gorsedd cry "A Oes Heddwch ?" http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/s-ROBE-JOH-1828.html

Ei deitl llawn yw: Flame-bearers of Welsh history, being the outline of the story of The sons of Cunedda. Cyfrol i fechgyn ysgol oedd hon, ond roedd ei nod yn uchelgeisiol. Dymunai Rhoscomyl adfer ei le priodol impacted wisdom tooth i hanes Cymru yn ysgolion y wlad a dileu'r agweddau Seisnigaidd ar ei astudiaeth trwy ddod ag arwyr y gorffennol impacted wisdom tooth yn fyw o flaen llygaid ei ddarllenwyr.
