teulu TREVOR Trevalun, Plas Têg, Glynde, Denmark. Till 1634 he was often consulted on questions of naval man-power and shipbuilding. He was a kinsman and correspondent of James Howell. THOMAS TREVOR (1572 - 1656), judge Law He is generally called the youngest of John Trevor's four sons, but D.N.B. post-dates his birth by fourteen years. Born in London, educated at the Middle Temple (November 1592), and called to the Bar in 1603, he became
teulu TREVOR Brynkynallt, The numerous branches of the Denbighshire Trevor s all descend from Tudur Trevor (fl. 940), son-in-law of Hywel Dda and reputed 'king' of the borderland from the Maelors down to Gloucester; his second son (died 1037) inherited lands round Chirk, now represented by the Brynkynallt estate, and the surname became fixed in the time of his descendant John Trevor ' hên ' (died 1453). The family was
TREVOR, JOHN (bu farw 1357), bishop of St Asaph Very little is known about him, and the principal object of this note is to warn the reader against a tendency to mix him up with John Trevor (II). It is quite obvious that he was a 'climber.' We first hear of him in 1343 in the papal court at Avignon where he was given permission to hold a canonry at S. Asaph simultaneously with one at Bangor - in addition to which he was, in 1344, made a
TREVOR, JOHN (bu farw 1410), bishop of St Asaph He is known as John Trevor II in order to distinguish him from his namesake, who was bishop between 1346 and 1357 and with whom he is sometimes confused. Described in one place as Ieuan ap Llywelyn, he was probably a native of Trevor, near Llangollen, in Powys Fadog, and kinship with the well-known Denbighshire family of the Trevor s has been claimed for him, although there does not appear to be

TROY, BLANCHE HERBERT (LADY TROY), (bu farw c. 1557), Lady Mistress of Elizabeth I, Edward VI and Queen Mary . It was a Welsh household; though Blanche was English she would have also been Welsh-speaking. Lewys Morgannwg states that she and her husband welcomed King Henry VII, his earls and possibly his queen to Troy House, near Monmouth in August 1502. They had two sons Charles and Thomas, both of whom were eventually knighted and served as sheriffs of Monmouthshire. (Sir William also had an illegitimate
TUCKER, JOSIAH (1712 - 1799), cleric and economist , and in 1739 rector of All Saints in Bristol. In his earlier days at Bristol, Tucker was bitterly opposed to the Methodists; he published an attack on them in 1739, to which John Wesley replied in 1742. But during the 1756-63 war his views changed. The diary of the Bristol Moravian congregation, under the date 3 August 1759, records that Howel Harris (who, with his militia-men, was in Bristol at the
teulu TUDOR Penmynydd, unwittingly entangled in a slightly compromising matter of state in the time of Elizabeth (his role in the affair was a very minor and humble kind), and it was said that David's brother, JOHN, was a dissident exile serving the queen's enemies. The gulf between this remote country family and their royal kinsmen had become so wide by 1600 that an official writing to Cecil seemed to have doubts as to the
TUDOR, EDMUND (c. 1430 - 1456) , daughter of John Beaufort, duke of Somerset. But the fact that he died at Carmarthen on 3 November 1456, suggests that like his brother Jasper Tudor he was intended for an administrative career in Wales. He was buried in the house of the Grey Friars at Carmarthen, his remains being translated at the Dissolution to S. Davids cathedral. His son, Henry, 2nd earl of Richmond and later the first Tudor king
