Alis Wen

Alis ferch Gruffudd ab Ieuan ap Llywelyn Fychan or Alis Wen ("Alice the White"; 1520–?) was a 16th-century poet who wrote in Welsh. She wrote several englynion on matters of her personal and family life, and a cywydd aimed at reconciling two men.

Early life Alis was the daughter of the "gentleman poet" Gruffudd ab Ieuan ap Llywelyn Fychan ( 1485–1553) of Llannerch (today's Denbighshire in North Wales) and his first wife Sioned (Janet) ferch Rhisiart ab Hywel of Mostyn (died 1540). Her two sisters, Catrin and Gwen, were also poets.

Bardic poetry Alis Wen composed a series of englynion (short poems) discussing the kind of husband which she wished to marry and commenting on her father's second marriage in old age to Alice Owen, daughter of John Owen of Llansantffraid. They had four recorded children: John Lloyd (died 1615), who became registrar of the diocese of St Asaph; Thomas Lloyd of Vaynol (died 1602); William Lloyd, who became rector of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, Llanfechain and Llanwrin, 1590–1600, and canon of St Asaph Cathedral, 1587–1600; and Edward Lloyd (died 1639), who became proctor in St Asaph.
