Robyn Léwis (born October 1929) is a Welsh author, politician and former archdruid. Born Robyn Lewis, he studied at Pwllheli Grammar School and University College of Wales, Aberystwyth before becoming a solicitor and barrister. He became active in the Labour Party and stood, unsuccessfully, in Denbigh at the 1955 general election.[1] During the 1960s, Léwis left Labour and joined Plaid Cymru. He was elected to Lleyn Rural District Council, and stood for the party in Caernarfon at the 1970 general election, where he came second with more than 33% of the vote.[1] He was subsequently elected as a Vice President of Plaid.[2] In 1980, Léwis won the Prose Medal at the National Eisteddfod of Wales,[3] and in 2002 he was the first Prose Medallist to become Archdruid, under the title "Robyn Llŷn".[4] In this role, he inducted future Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams as a Bard of the Gorsedd.[5] Léwis resigned from Plaid in 2006, in protest at the acceptance of an OBE by Elinor Bennett, wife of the party leader.[2] References1. ^1 The Times Guide to the House of Commons 1970, p.71 {{s-start}}{{s-ppo}}{{succession box|title=Vice President of Plaid Cymru|years=1970–1976|before=Phil Williams|after=Phil Williams}}{{s-culture}}{{Succession box2. ^1 "Dr Robyn Lewis: I'm willing to return to Plaid Cymru", North Wales Daily Post, 18 August 2008 3. ^"Prose Medal {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030134524/http://www.eisteddfod.org.uk/english/about-us/our-history/winners/prose-medal/ |date=2014-10-30 }}", National Eisteddfod of Wales 4. ^{{cite web|title=Archdderwydd|url=http://www.gorsedd.cymru/hafan/archdderwydd/|website=Gorsedd y Beirdd|language=cy|accessdate=20 September 2016}} 5. ^Marcus Tanner, The Last of the Celts, p.189 | title = Archdruid of the National Eisteddfod of Wales | years = 2002–2005 | before = Meirion Evans | after = Selwyn Griffith }}{{s-end}}{{Plaid Cymru}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Lewis, Robyn}} 11 : 1929 births|Living people|Alumni of Aberystwyth University|Bards of the Gorsedd|Councillors in Wales|People from Gwynedd|Plaid Cymru politicians|Welsh barristers|Welsh-language writers|Welsh solicitors|Welsh-speaking politicians |
