Evan James (also known by the bardic name Ieuan ap Iago) (1809 - September 30, 1878), a weaver and poet from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, wrote the lyrics of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau ("Land of my Fathers"), the national anthem of Wales. Evan James was a weaver by trade, and employed several people at his mill on the river Rhondda. According to family legend, his son, James James, was walking one day in January 1856 on the banks of the river when the melody for Hen Wlad fy Nhadau came to him. <a hr
