Rev. John Dyfnallt Owen (7 April 1873 – 28 December 1956), was a Welsh poet, and served as Archdruid of the National Eisteddfod of Wales from 1954 until his death. He was often known simply by his bardic name, "Dyfnallt". Owen was born in Llangiwg, Glamorgan, and was brought up by his grandparents because of the death of his mother when he was an infant. He worked for a short period as a coal miner, then obtained an education at Parcyfelfed Academy and Bala Bangor College. He married Annie Hopkin in 1904 and had two sons Meirion Dyfnallt Owen and Geraint Dyfnallt Owen. Having been ordained as a Congregational minister, he took over Sardis Chapel at Pontypridd in 1905. During World War I, he served as a chaplain in France. In 1927, he became editor of the Welsh-language journal Y Tyst. In 1936 he became President of the Union of Welsh Independents (Chapels). Like all Archdruids, he was a winner of a major poetry prize at the National Eisteddfod, in his case the crown at the 1907 Eisteddfod in Swansea. He joined the Celtic Congress in 1908 and maintained a lifelong interest in Breton affairs, writing a book in 1934 and was part of the Welsh delegation investigating French abuses of the Breton movement after WWII. He hosted the Breton Literary figure Roparz Hemon at his own home when he fled France in 1946. He gained an hon. M.A. degree from the University of Wales in 1953. At the age of 80 he was elected Archdruid of Wales at Rhyl in 1954. Works
