Morgan, William (c.1545–1604). Bishop and Welsh scholar. Morgan was born in Cardiganshire and sent to St John's College, Cambridge. In 1575 he was made vicar of Welshpool, moving in 1578 to Llanrhaidadr Mochnant. He then undertook to complete the translation of the Bible into Welsh, begun by William Salesbury. The edition, including a revision of Salesbury's New Testament, appeared in 1588. Morgan was made bishop of Llandaff in 1595 and promoted to the slightly wealthier see of St Asaph in 1601.

Morgan, William (1545–1604), translator of the Welsh Bible. He was successively Bp. of Llandaff (from 1595) and (from 1601) of St Asaph. While he was still a parish priest, he translated the Bible into Welsh (published, 1588). He based the NT on a translation already published in 1567, but rendered the OT from the original languages single-handed.
