Richard Lloyd (by 1531 – 1570)

Richard Lloyd (born by 1531, died 1570) was a Welsh politician and landowner. He served as a Member of Parliament for the constituency of Cardiganshire in 1563.

Very little is known definitively about Richard Lloyd's early life, but he was likely born in Cardiganshire. His birth is estimated to be before 1531 based on his later activities. He held land in Cardiganshire, contributing to his eligibility and influence in the region.

Lloyd's single term as a Member of Parliament for Cardiganshire began in 1563. Records from this period are often incomplete, and little specific information regarding his activities in Parliament has survived. He likely participated in parliamentary debates and voted on legislation relevant to Wales and the broader kingdom of England.

Richard Lloyd died in 1570. Information regarding his family and descendants is limited, however, his parliamentary service places him within the political landscape of Wales during the Tudor period. His role, though perhaps unremarkable in surviving records, highlights the representation of Welsh interests within the English Parliament during the 16th century. Further research in local records and genealogical sources might reveal more details about his life and family connections.
