Edward Williams, better known by his bardic name Iolo Morganwg, (1747 – 1826) was an influential Welsh antiquarian, poet, collector, and literary forger. He was widely considered a leading collector and expert on medieval Welsh literature in his day, but after his death it was revealed that he had forged a large number of his manuscripts.
Regardless, he had a lasting impact on Welsh culture, seen most notably in his foundation of the Gorsedd, and the philosophy he developed in his forgeries had a huge impact on the early neo-druid movement. His bardic name is Welsh for "Iolo of Glamorgan" (the county's name is spelt "Morgannwg" in modern Welsh).
Williams first came to public notice in 1789 when he produced Barddoniaeth Dafydd ab Gwilym, a collection of the poetry of the 14th-century Dafydd ap Gwilym. Included in this edition was a large number of previously unknown poems by Dafydd that he claimed to have discovered; these poems are regarded as Williams's first forgeries.
His success led him to return to London in 1791. There he founded the Gorsedd, a community of Welsh bards, at a ceremony on 21 June 1792 at Primrose Hill. He organised the proceedings, which he claimed were based on ancient druidic rites. (Wikipedia)
"Daeth 15 ohonom ynghyd ar ôl y Nadolig sef John Arthur, Gwyn, Gwyn Chwilog, Anet, Iolo, Gerallt, Haf, John Parry, Carys, Dafydd Meurig, Geraint, Meira, Twm, Beti a Delyth. Roedd y tywydd yn sych wrth i ni gerdded o gwmpas Llyn Dinas. Aethom dros y gamfa ac i fyny at fwthyn Hafod Owen, a chawsom baned gerllaw. Yma y daeth y dringwr John Menlove Edwards i fyw tua 1941.
Roedd digon o fwd ar y llwybr wedyn cyn cyrraedd Lôn Blaen Nantmor. Gwelsom yr hen olwyn ddŵr ger Pont yr Injan. I fyny â ni ar hyd llwybr Watkin, heibio'r nant fyrlymus at Garreg Gladstone, a chael cinio yno. Er bod y gwynt wedi codi ymddangosodd yr haul wrth i ni gerdded i lawr y llwybr a gwelsom ddau alpaca yng nghae Hafod y Llan. Ymlaen â ni heibio Llyndy Isaf ac o gwmpas y llyn."

At last...all that's needed now is, for a couple more things to go up on other walls, and, for Lin' to synchronise her office diary with Iolo at Living Life for delivery of my chair to sleep in. Bliss! Flash, no tripod
