He was the son of Griffith Lloyd of Forest Brechfa, Carmarthenshire and studied law at Gray's Inn (1635). In 1646, Lloyd was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Carmarthenshire as a recruiter to the Long Parliament.[1] He was secluded in Pride's Purge in 1648.
In 1660, he was elected MP for Carmarthenshire again in the Cavalier Parliament and was briefly custos rotulorum for Carmarthenshire from March - July 1660.
