Education: self-educated in the classics
Patrons: Williams family of Aberpergwm, provided him their home to live, posited that he may have been a family bard or private tutor
Overall: A lot of legends about of Nicolas, including that he had translated the Iliad into Welsh, although there is no proof. His poetry has received mixed response; his strictly metered verse has been considered not very good whereas his blank verse has been called the best of Glamorgan in the first half of the 18th century. He was also well-regarded as a classical scholar.
