GRUFFUDD ap NICOLAS (fl. 1415-1460), esquire and a leading figure in the local administration of the principality of South Wales in the middle of the 15th century Owen Tudor. It is, therefore, impossible to accept the reports that he was mortally wounded either at the battle of Wakefield, 1460, or at Mortimer's Cross, 1461. His praises were sung by Dafydd ab Edmwnd, Hywel ap Dafydd ap Ieuan ap Rhys, Rhys Llwyd ap Rhys ap Rhicert, Gwilym ap Ieuan Hen, and Lewis Glyn Cothi.

Guto'r Glyn was, according to Tudur Aled, the best bard for composing poems to men; the bard himself says, 'ac erioed prydydd gŵr wyf.'

He married Agnes (or Angharad), daughter of Llywelyn Ddu ap Gruffydd ap Iorwerth, and the Welsh tone of the family appears in the support they gave to Owain Glyn Dwr, who married Sir David's daughter Margaret.

teulu HOLLAND were congeners of the Conway Hollands. But Bernard Holland will allow at best only an illegitimate connection between the two.

He had a son, ROBIN HOLLAND, who was a partisan of Owain Glyn Dŵr. This Robin had two sons who concern us: HOWEL HOLLAND of (3) PENNANT (i.e
