TUDUR ALED (fl. 1480-1526), poet Born in the parish of Llansannan, Denbighshire. There are many copies of his pedigree in the manuscripts which, however, do not always tally.

teulu VAUGHAN Corsygedol, The pedigree of this illustrious North Wales family as given by Lewis Dwnn, deputy-herald-at-arms, and by other genealogists, begins (normally) with the union of Osbwrn Wyddel and the daughter and heiress of the old Welsh family of Corsygedol, this daughter being a ward of Llywelyn the Great.

VAUGHAN, Sir GRUFFUDD (bu farw 1447), soldier period. Sir John Grey fell at Baugé, 3 April 1421, and it is said that his body was brought home for burial at Welshpool.
