• **********************

"Thomas Stradling Esq the son, enjoyed the possession of St Donats but for few years for he died at the castle on the 8th September 1480 when in his 26th year. He left three children, Edward, Harry and Jane. Edward succeeded his father. Harry's son eventually came into the estates and Jane married Sir William Griffiths of Caernarfonshire and took with her as waiting woman one Agnes, wife of David Rhys who went as gardener. The son of this pair after a somewhat adventurous childhood and youth became the learned Dr John Dafydd Rhys, who must presently have a biographical chapter to himself. Thomas Stradling's widow became the wife of Sir Rhys ab Thomas and is buried with her second husband at Caermathen.

Sir Edward Stradling who succeeded to the estates when quite an infant, was knighted in Tourney Church under the royal banners of King Henry VIII on December 25th - 5th Henry VIII. He married Elizabeth Arundel of Llanhydrock, Cornwall and had four sons and two daughters of this marriage, besides nine or more illegitimate children. Of the four sons by his wife, Robert the second married the daughter of Watkin Lougher of Fythegstone; Edward the third son married the daughter and heiress of Robert Raglan of Llantwit Major; and John his fourth became a priest. Of the daughters, Jane married Alexander Popham of Somersetshire and from them descended several respectable families; and Catherine married Sir William Palmer of Sussex and had issue."

Added by Lady Aimee Mack Source: http://www.naturalgeographicmagazine.com/q/Stradling_Baronets

The Stradling Baronetcy, of St Donat's in the County of Glamorgan, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 22 May 1611 for John Stradling, later Member of Parliament for St Germans and Old Sarum and Glamorgan. The second Baronet also represented Glamorgan in Parliament. The fifth Baronet was member of Parliament for Cardiff. The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1738.[1] George Stradling, younger son of the first Baronet, was Dean of Chichester Cathedral in 1672. Edward Stradling, eldest son of the fifth Baronet, was Member of Parliament for Cardiff in 1722 but died during his father's lifetime. His younger brother Thomas succeeded in the baronetcy. The Stradlings were a family seated at St Donat's Castle, Glamorgan, Wales, from the early mediaeval period. The family thus played an important role in Glamorgan's history. Sir Edward Stradling, knight (died 1453) married Jane the bastard da. of Cardinal Beaufort. A later Sir Edward Stradling, knight(d.1609), collected a famous library at St. Donat's and from old papers he had collected wrote one of the first histories of Glamorgan, The Winning of the Lordship of Glamorgan out of Welshmens' Hands, thereby creating the legend of the Twelve Knights of Glamorgan, followers of Robert FitzHamon, Norman conqueror of Glamorgan. He placed a Stradling knight 12th in his list, yet recent scholarship has found the Stradling family to have come to Britain after the Norman Conquest, invalidating the inclusion of the now but legendary Stradling knight. The Stradlings are a branch of the noble family of Strättligen. Their castle, now ruined, is located near Thun in Switzerland. Johannes and his son Peter came to Wales in the late thirteenth century, following Otto de Grandson. Stradling baronets, of St Donats (1611)[edit]
