Sir John Edward Lloyd (5 May 1861 – 20 June 1947) was born in Liverpool . He was educated in the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (which later become the University of Wales, Aberystwyth ), which he left in 1881, and Lincoln College, Oxford , from which he graduated in 1883 with a first class honours degree. Lloyd became a much-published and famous Welsh historian . He wrote the first serious history of the country's formative years, A History of Wales from the Earliest Times to the Edwardian Conquest (1911) and Owen Glendower/Owain Glyn D?r (1931). And he was the first editor of 'Y Bywgraffiadur Cymreig', which was published posthumously in 1953. (Its English counterpart, the Dictionary of Welsh Biography , was published in 1959 with Robert Thomas Jenkins as its sole editor.) He was knighted in 1934.
