Gwenthlean HERLE
descended from
King Henry I of England via the Perrots
Descent from King Henry to Gwenthlean HERLE who married Thomas ap Evan Lloyd Blayney of Gregynog, the parents of David Lloyd Blayney and thus grandparents of Lord Edward Blayney. Also evidence of a Plantagenet descent from King John via the Perrots and Herles to this Thomas Blayney
See also (illegitimate) descent from King HENRY to:
[1] Elizabeth GWYN, mother of Lewis Blayney via Einion SAIS;
[2] Margaret HERBERT, second wife of Thomas Blayney; and
[3] Joyce HERBERT mother-in-law of John Blayney
(both the latter via Einion SAIS, Sir Dafydd GAM and the Herberts).

Eight children: - William (Count of Poitiers), Henry (the Young King 1155�1183), Matilda (Duchess of
Saxony 1156�1189), Richard I (King of England 1157�1199), Geoffrey II (Duke of Brittany 1158�1186),
Eleanor (Leonora of Aquitaine, 1161�1214), John (1167�1216) -see below, and Joan (of England 1165�1199).
There were a number of illeg. children to various mistresses including Geoffrey, Archbishop of York
(~1152�1226) and William de Longespee, 3rd Earl of Salisbury (1176�1226)

five children (Henry, Richard, Joan, Isabella & Eleanor).
+ multiple mistresses (their illegitimate sons used surname FitzRoy = "son of King") including:
+ Clemence (PINEL or De DAUNTSEY or Le BOTELER (mistress) [942]
[One theory has her as Clemence de Dauntsey dau of Roger de Daunteseye of Dauntsey and Maud Mandeville,
Countess of Essex, dau of Geoffrey FitzPiers (1st/4th Earl of Essex, Sheriff of Northamptonshire) and
Beatrice de Say dau of William de Saye and Aufrica dau of William "the Lion", King of Scots [145].
A more probable Clemence was Clemence Le BOTELER b.1275, daughter of Philip Le BOTELER with Joan being
conceived before John (or Clemence) were married, allowing the Pope to legitimise her. Unless she was
the eldest child, it would not have been necessary to make her legitimacy conditional on removing any
claim to thte throne. ]
5 Joan (Siwan) PLANTAGENET (Legitimated by the Pope)
b~1191; m.11May1203/4/5/6 to create an alliance with Wales; d.1236 [942] or 1237 [304];

Reginald de BRAOSE and Grecia de BRIWERE) and Lady Eva MARSHAL (dau of
William MARSHAL, 1st Earl of Pembroke, known as Gwilym Ddu = "Black William" by the Welsh
for his cuelty and when captured by Llywelyn was ransomed for �2,000.]
This marriage was aimed at reducing the bitterness between the Welsh and the Marcher Lords.
William hadn't helped relations by being caught in Llywelyn's private bedchamber with Llywelyn's wife,
Joan and so was promptly and publically hanged by Llywelyn while Joan was placed under house arrest
for a year. The marriage still went ahead and Joan was forgiven after a year and restored as Princess.

There has been some suggestion she was the illegitimate dau of Tangwystyl Goch but
considerable evidence supports Joan as her mother [700]
as does naming her daughter Joan and the inheriting of some of Princess Joan's landholdings.

[son of Thomas CORBET (1202-1274) and Isabel de VALLETORT (b~1210)]
This may be an error as the wife of Peter (and mother of Thomas & Peter) is given
as Alice by Burke [931] v3 while
Thomas was married to Joan dau of Alam Plukenet. Other genealogies have Joan Mortimer as
the first wife and Alice De Orreby as the second [934]
The Feet of Fines have Joan Mortimer married to Peter's father, Thomas, yet his son Peter
being the grandson of Isabella Corbet (formerly Valletort) [935].

To avoid confusion with a sister Joan (Lady Corbet) and Jonet (married Ieuan) I am using her preferred
Welsh name Sined, rather than the Janet given by Banks [933 p.116] [who called her mother "Gladuse...,
daughter of Leweline, prince of Wales" - so his Welsh was highly Anglicised].

9 Peter PERROT b~1250
|
This Peter PERROT is quite possibly the same person as Sir Piers of Gaveston Earl of Cornwall and Edward II's "favourite". [suggested by Kevin McKenzie [145] because Piers:
- was called "brother Perrot" by Edward II [936], and many references use "Perrot" instead of Piers [948]
- had a coat of arms with six golden eagles on green (ie junior line from Owain Gwynedd), totally different to the "assumed" father Sir Arnaud de Gabaston/Gaveston (bur. 1310, Winchester Cathedral - see above)
- Piers is not a name found in Sir Arnaud's family (but Arnaud's brother-in-law was Pierre Caillau so he could be named for his maternal auncle [930]).
- gifted one hundred silver shields, marked with an eagle by Edward II
- was made guardian of the 16 yr old Roger Mortimer in 1304 by Edward I after the death Roger's father Edmund [945]. Roger would have been the 1st cousin once removed (cousin's son) of "Peter".
- Piers called John of Brittany "trescher cosin" (very dear cousin) [939]. John (Earl of Richmond) was "Peter" Perrot's 2nd cousin once removed.
- Piers married the daughter of the king's favourite sister and a prominent Lord, something impossible if he was a commoner.
- Piers is known in contemporary records as Petrus de Causton or de Caveston, indicating that the later use of "de Gaveston" is actually a misreading of Canaston and as Peter's wife was Mary Canaston, Peter would "by right of his heiress wife" have been "de Canaston". The name "Piers Gaveston" has in fact only been used since Christopher Marlowe used the name in his play Edward II but has been copied ever since [145]
- Peter Perrot's wife Mary Kynaston (Canaston) is given in Wotton's Baronage [946] as Margaret, probably confusion with Piers' 2nd wife, Margaret de Clare
- Piers was termed a Gascon noble, so some assume he is from Gabaston in Gascony. However Sir Richard Perrot (Signeur de Perrot) of Brittany [ancestor of Peter Perrot (ie Piers)] who accompanied William the Conqueror [933], was married to Blanche de Aragon (daughter of Matilda de Aquitaine and Sancho Ramiro, second King of Aragon grandson of King Sancho III ("the Great") of Navarre, Count of Aragon, suzerain of Gascony and married to Gaya de Gascony. [946] [668] [947]
Sir Piers de Gaveston Earl of Cornwall b~1282/3 (Berkhamsted Castle) - he had to be at least 21 in 1304 when given Roger's Wardship and was the "contemporary" of Edward II (born 1284); m.1Nov1307; d.19Jun1312
In 1308 he served briefly as Regent when Edward II was in France. In 1312 he was abucted by the Earl of Warwick, from Scarborough Castle, taken to Blacklow Hill where he was run through then beheaded and then left on the road by Earls Lancaster, Hereford & Arundel. Piers is named as the "Headless spirit of Scarborough Castle" [937]
Piers married Margaret de Clare (b.1294 d.1342) [daughter of Joan of Acre (dau of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile) b.1272 in Akko, Syria (on Crusade); d.1307 and Gilbert 'the Red' de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford b.1243 2m.30Apr1290 d.1295]. Margaret remarried on 28Apr1317 to Hugh AUDLEY (d'Audley) the younger another of Edward II's "favourites"
Piers and Margaret had Joan GAVESTON b.Jan1312 (York), Joan bing a family name for Peter (his grandmother Joan MORTIMER and great-great grandmother Joan PLANTAGENET). |
