Rhisiart Phylip , who was 'family bard' at Nannau , near Dolgelley, for a period, wrote an elegy on the death of Annes, daughter of Rhys Fychan, Nannau - she was the wife of Hugh Nanney and grandmother of Rowland Vaughan, who also wrote englynion to her and to his grandfather on the occasion. When Ellen Nanney, Rowland Vaughan's mother, d. in 1617, Rhisiart Phylip wrote an elegy in her memory."
