Eleanor Butler a Sarah Ponsonby

Merched Llangollen.

Dwy ferch oedd Eleanor Butler a Sarah Ponsonby, a adnabyddir yn Saesneg fel The Ladies of Llangollen. Gwyddelod oeddent o ran tras ac maen nhw'n enwog oherwydd eu cyfeillgarwch rhamantus.

Eleanor Charlotte Butler (11 Mai 1739 – 2 Mehefin 1829): daeth Eleanor o deulu Castell Kilkenny ac roedd yn ferch academaidd iawn ar ôl cyfnod helaeth mewn lleiandy yn Ffrainc. Roedd ei mam yn awyddus iawn iddi hithau fynd yn lleian.[1]

Roedd Sarah Ponsonby (1755 – 9 Rhagfyr 1832) yn dod o Woodstock (Iwerddon) ac roedd yn ail gyfnither i Frederick Ponsonby, 3ydd Iarll Bessborough.[2]

Cyfarfu'r ddwy yn 1768 a deuthant yn ffrindiau mynwesol, gan gynllunio sut i ddianc o'u teuluoedd dros y blynyddoedd nesaf. Yn Ebrill 1778, rhedodd y ddwy i ffwrdd gan ddal cwch i Loegr ac yna i Langollen ble y bu iddyn nhw brynnu Plas Newydd ger Llangollen yn 1780.[2]
