Marged ferch Ifan

Marged is thought to have been born in Beddgelert in mountainous Snowdonia as she was baptised at St Mary's Church in that village.

[2] Some tales about Marged ferch Ifan are extant as well as several versions of songs and tunes in Welsh, known as hen benillion ("old stanzas").

[6] Traditionally the verses start with the first line Mae gan Marged fwyn ach Ifan, which translates as "Fair Margaret daughter of Evan has".

[6] Mae gan Marged fwyn ach Ifan Grafanc fawr a chrafanc fechan, Un i dynnu'r cŵn o'r gongol, A'r llall i dorri esgyrn pobol.
