TREVOR, JOHN (bu farw 1410), bishop of St Asaph rewarded with high secular office in Wales. But he was one of the first to desert the ill-fated monarch, who was actually made captive in Trevor's own diocese, and it was the bishop himself who read the sentence of deposition in full Parliament. He continued prominent as a royal emissary and spokesman during the early years of the Lancastrian regime, and as late as 1403, long after the Glyn Dŵr revolt
TUDOR, EDMUND (c. 1430 - 1456) , was born posthumously. Lewis Glyn Cothi and Dafydd Nanmor composed elegies upon him.
TUDOR, STEPHEN OWEN (1893 - 1967), minister (Presb.) and author Berw, Anglesey (1927-29), Tabernacl, Porthmadog (1929-35), and Moriah, Caernarfon (1935-62). During World War II he served as a chaplain in the army. After retiring, he moved to Colwyn Bay, supervising the churches at Llanddulas and Llysfaen. In 1927 he married Ann Hughes Parry of Machynlleth; they had two sons and two daughters. He died 30 June 1967 and his remains were buried at Llawr-y-glyn
TWISLETON, GEORGE (1618 - 1667), officer in the parliamentary army third son of John Twisleton of Barley Hall, Yorkshire. He served under general Mytton; took part in the siege and capture of Denbigh castle, whereof he was made governor in 1647. Shortly afterwards he married Mary Glyn, daughter and heiress of William Glyn of Lleuar,, Caernarfonshire, and great-great-granddaughter of William Glyn ' the Sergeant ' (see the article Glyn of Glynllifon). Twisleton
VARRIER-JONES, PENDRILL CHARLES (1883 - 1941), physician Pendrill Varrier-Jones was born at Glyn Taff House, Troedyrhiw, Merthyr Tydfil, on 24 February 1883, the son of Dr Charles Morgan Jones, a local doctor, and his wife Margaret Varrier (née Jenkins), whose family ran a coal mining business. (He changed his surname from Jones to Varrier-Jones in 1929). He had one sister. He was educated at Epsom College and then Wycliffe College, Stonehouse. At
teulu VAUGHAN Hergest, Kington an allusion by Guto'r Glyn, believed that he fell in a preliminary skirmish on Monday, 23 (recte 24) July. From Lewis Glyn Cothi's elegies upon his death it could be argued that he fell in the main battle on the 26th, and there was a tradition in the family in the time of Dr. John David Rhys that he, and not Sir Richard Herbert, was the hero of that battle. His body was brought home for burial at
teulu VAUGHAN Llwydiarth, This well-known family was not of Montgomeryshire origin. The first member, Celynin (fl. early 14th century), is said to have fled from South Wales, after killing the mayor of Carmarthen; his first wife, Gwladus, was heir of Llwydiarth and descended on both sides from the princes of Powys. GRUFFYDD, great-great-grandson of Celynin, was an adherent of Owain Glyn Dwr and received a pardon for this
teulu VAUGHAN Tretower Court, 1468. In the earl of Warwick's charter to Neath abbey, 24 June 1468, Vaughan as the earl's chancellor at Cardiff is the first witness, and Thomas ap Roger, possibly his son, is described as coroner of Cardiff. The common belief that he fell with his brothers at the battle of Banbury is incorrect. Lewis Glyn Cothi called upon him to avenge that battle, and on 16 February 1470 he was appointed
teulu VAUGHAN Corsygedol, bard Tudur Penllyn. Robert Vaughan, the antiquary, of Hengwrt, says that Jasper Tudor 'lay in Corsygedol, when he fled to France in the time of Edward IV,' Vaughan adding that, 'as some say,' Henry, earl of Richmond, was with him. Griffith Vaughan's wife was Lowry, niece of Owain Glyn Dwr. Dwnn gives the following pedigree for the Griffith Vaughan of 1588 : Griffith Vaughan, son of Richard, son of
teulu VAUGHAN Bredwardine, his uncle, Thomas ap Roger of Hergest. He was at one time constable of Aberystwyth castle and his praises were sung by Dafydd Nanmor and Lewis Glyn Cothi. Lewis Glyn Cothi also sang to Lewis ap Watkin, calling him the Roland of Llanbedr Painscastle and Rhulen. According to Lewis Dwnn, the Vaughans of Pont-faen, in Cemais, were descended from John Vaughan, another son. It is also said that John
teulu VAUGHAN Pant Glas, Norton of Church Stretton (some of that family are in the D.N.B.) died 8 December 1669, at Glyn in Llandrillo-yn-Rhos, at the age of 91. They had four children - not five as stated by Griffith. (1) THOMAS VAUGHAN (III); little is known about him. He became a member of Gray's Inn in February 1645/5; married Lucy, daughter of chief justice Sir John Vaughan, of Trawsgoed, Cardiganshire, and there are
VAUGHAN, Sir GRUFFUDD (bu farw 1447), soldier Owain Glyn Dŵr. Later in life this Gruffudd held a position under the lords of Stafford at Caus castle, and at that period Lewis Glyn Cothi addressed an ode to him. It is difficult to accept a statement by Lewis Dwnn (Visitations, i, 312) that ' Sr. Griffith Vaughan of Gwenwys Kt.' was a burgess of Welshpool on 7 June 1406. There is a persistent tradition that Gruffudd Vaughan was in the band of
