Editing John Edward Lloyd (section)

== Early life and eduction ==
John Edward Lloyd was born in [[Liverpool]] on 5 May 1861. He was educated in the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (which later become the [[University of Wales, Aberystwyth]]), which he left in 1881, and [[Lincoln College, Oxford]], from which he graduated in 1883 with a first class honours degree. Upon leaving Oxford in 1883, he obtained an academic position in his ''alma mater'' in Aberystwyth teaching history. In 1891 he applied for the post of College Principal. However, his application was unsuccessful, which prompted him to look for an academic post elsewhere, which he obtained shortly afterwards in [[Bangor University]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Pryce |first=Huw |url=https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/J_E_Lloyd_and_the_Creation_of_Welsh_Hist/C1CuBwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=eluned+clunes+lloyd&pg=PA272&printsec=frontcover |title=J.
