(see Blayney Room) [Although John Blayney obviously believed the Welsh Nest v. RHYS was Earl Robert's mother, Oscar Mitchell [50] has demonstrated that there is considerable doubt that Nest was the mother of Robert, Earl of Glouchester, as some records show his mother as the daughter of a citizen of Caen [50]], perhaps Sibyl, dau of Robert Corbet, burgess of Caen [614], while Crouch [615] [619] Robert, Earl of Gloucester has her as the daughter of Reginald GAY(T) of Northbrook, Oxfordshire, a minor noble. Cymmrodorion [494] calls the attributing Robert's motherhood to Nest as "one of Iolo Morganwg's fabrications" [see Footnote 1], although King Henry I did father a child by her, namely Henry FITZROY or "filius regus").] 2 Robert de Caen, b<1090 (Caen, Normandy) d.31Oct1147 (Bristol) "the Consul", 1st Earl of Gloucester 1122-1147, supporter of Empress Maud (Queen Matilda).

He was the object of the famous 1158 raid on Cardiff Castle by Ivor Bach ("the Little") of Senghennydd.

Sir Dafydd GAM 1 Sir Dafydd GAM, Kt (Dafydd Ap LLEWELYN, called the "Gam" for a cast or squint in one eye); b~1351 (?65 ?71 ?79); son of Llewellyn Ap HYWEL; the template for "Fluellen" in Shakespeare's "Henry IV". d.25Oct1415, Agincourt, France in the personal defence of King Henry V who knighted his corpse. His famous death overshadows a somewhat less savory past. He had been exiled from his homeland after killing Big Richard of Slwch and was taken in by John of Gaunt, father of the future King Henry IV of England. He was later imprisoned by the Welsh for the attempted assassination of Owen Glendower (Glyndwr), who had been proclaimed King of Wales, only to be released on the fall of Glyndwr. This latter story is probably myth, with Hywel, Lord of Nannau the failed assassin and Dafydd captured because he refused to join Glyndwr. + Gwenllian ferch Gwilym b~1355(70) (Abercrai, Traean-glas, Breconshire) dau of Gwilyn ap Dafydd ap IEUAN and Tudful Ferch THOMAS or Gwilym ap Howel y Grach. 2 Morgan GAM (Gaines), b~1375 (or 1390) (Peutun, Llanddew, Breconshire) Mother may not have been Gwenllian [309] +(1)Tanglwst ferch Meredith dau of Meredith BWL GWALTER Gwilliam Llewelyn. +(2)Margred ferch Llnap Gisilym dau of Lewwlyn Gwilym Rees Lloyd ap Adam 3 Meredith 3 Gwalter of Porthgwyn +(3)unknown ferch Ien ap Dafydd HIR 2 Margred GAM b~1379(7) (Peutun, Llanddew) + Lin ap Gwilyn b~1405 2 Thomas GAM b~1381 (Peutun, Llanddew) 2 Llen Vaughan ap Sir David GAM + __ 3 Jane VAUGHAN + Matthew PRYCE (who subsequently married Jouce (Joice) ferch Evan Gwyn JAMES) [264] Matthew and Jouce had 7 children, three being linked to the Blayneys [264], namely: (a) son John PRYCE of Newtown father of Bridget PRYCE the wife of Lewis BLAYNEY b~1548 m.1577; d.1601 (b) Elizabeth PRYCE, who married Edward HERBERT of Montgomery and (c) Joyce (Jane) PRYCE, who married Owen BLAYNEY of "Gregunog", most probably Owen ap Howell ab Owen ap Howell ab Evan BLAYNEY 2 Miss (unk) ferch Davydd GAM b~1383/6 (Peutun, Llanddew) My research and that of Kevin McKenzie [145] suggest she was Maude WIGMORE + Ieuan Blaene b~1380 (1376-1386) Bleddyn; m~1400 in St. Nicholas, Glamorgan, Wales [244] [279] The son of Hywel BLAENE, an "unrelated" but short-lived Blayney line. 2 Gwladys (Gwladus) ferch Davydd GAM b~1405 (Peutun, Llanddew); d.1454 +(1)Sir Roger VAUGHAN of Bredwardine s/o Roger Hen. m.~1410 Bredwardine, Herefordshire; d.1454 at Agincourt 3 Sir Roger VAUGHAN of Tretower b.1405; d.1471 See Tretower Castle photos.

Darrell Wolcott claims he was a Welshman Cynhaethwy b.1225, son of Adam Gwent, a nobleman of purely Welsh ancestry and the connection to Lord Herbert, Duke of Cornwall son of Godwin was a fabrication, possibly to satisfy King Edward IV who commissioned Hywel Lloyd and others to find the true pedigree of the Earl of Pembroke. 19 Siencyn (misspelt/miscalled Jenkin [483]) ap Adam (aka John HERBERT), Lord of Gwarindee/Gwairn; b~1316 + Gwenllian [dau of Sir Aaron ap Bleddyn/Bledri] Raglan Castle Raglan Castle (click) [428] See more photos 20 Guillem (Gwilym) ap Siencyn (misspelt/miscalled William ap Jenkin [483]) Lord of Gwarinddu, Master Sergeant; b~1327; d~1390 or 1377 + Gwenllian ICHON [dau of Hywel Vychan ("misspelt Howel VAUGHAN" [483]) ] 21 Sir Tomas ap Gwyllium (William) HERBERT (of Raglan Castle); 4th son; b~1362(72) d.1438 Secured the castle on marriage to Maud. + Maud (Mawd) MORLEY b~1380, sole child and heir of Sir John MORLEY. 22 (six children incl. youngest, William) Sir William ap Thomas HERBERT of Raglan b~1390 (~1401); d.1446 (Ragland Castle), 21st in line of descent from Charlemagne [see immediately below.]

The defenders were the Men of Harlech commemorated in the song which is the "unofficial" national song of Wales. When King Edward IV wished to execute Dafydd, William is said to have offered his own life in exchange for Dafydd's rather than see his promise broken.

Iolo Morganwg

Footnote 1
Iolo Morganwg (or Morgannwg in modern spelling) was the bardic name of Edward Williams (1747-1826), an influential Welsh antiquarian, poet, collector, laudanum (tincture of opium) addict and literary forger. Iolo first came to public notice in 1789 by revealing some previously undiscovered poetry by Dafydd ap Gwilym, (probably the greatest Welsh poet). These poems were in fact forgeries, but survived critical attention for over a hundred years. His success lead Iolo to move to London, where he become a significant figure in the Welsh community. He went on to author some fairly substantial works (most of which are now considered forgeries).

Footnote 2
Reverie by Graham Turner. "Sitting at the window of a great castle, a fashionably dressed Lady looks up from her book, her mind clearly lost in distant thoughts. The view from the window identifies the setting as the Great tower at Raglan, Gwent, a fact confirmed by the heraldic stained glass panel. The arms are those of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, and his wife, Anne Devereux, so perhaps this is Anne herself, awaiting news of her absent husband. She knows the feeling of vulnerability that went hand in hand with power during the Wars of the Roses, with the great rewards available to the supporters of the victorious faction becoming possible attainder, exile or death when the tables turned. By allying himself to Edward, Earl of March, in 1461, and assisting him to accede the throne as Edward IV, William Herbert rose through the ranks of the English nobility at an incredible rate, to become the most powerful man in Wales when he was created Earl of Pembroke in 1468. However, on 26th July 1469, he was defeated at the battle of Edgecote while leading an army to crush 'Robin of Redesdale's' rebellion and, along with his brother, was summarily executed the following day on the orders of the Earl of Warwick. So, as she passes the time, the Lady in Graham Turner's sensitive and highly detailed painting has every reason to be concerned, for her future is inextricably linked to that of her husband and remains uncertain until he is safely returned".
