Ludovic Lloyd

Ludovic Lloyd[1] (floruit 1573–1610) was a Welsh courtier, poet and compiler of miscellanies.

He was the fifth son of Oliver Lloyd, lord of the manor of Marrington, Chirbury, Shropshire, England, by Gwenllian, daughter of Griffith ap Howel ab Ieuan Blayney of Gregynog, Montgomeryshire, Wales.

He describes himself in his works as sergeant-at-arms to Queen Elizabeth, and continued in the post under James I.

Lloyd has commendatory verses signed Lodowick Flood, prefixed to The Castle or Picture of Policy of William Blandie, and verses in praise of the author prefixed to Thomas Twyne's translation of Humphrey Llwyd's Breviary of Britayne, 1573.
