Biography

excerpt from The Encyclopædia Britannica: entry Tudor Family

TUDOR (Family)The house of Tudor, which gave five sovereigns to England, is derived by all the Welsh genealogists from Ednyfed Vychan of Tregarnedd in Anglesey, who is named in 1232 as steward of Llywelyn, prince of North Wales, and seven years later as an arbitrator in a convention to which Davydd , the son of Llywelyn, was a party. His pedigree has been traced from Marchudd ap Cynan and beyond him, according to the veracious Lewys Dwnn, from Brutus, the great grandson of Aeneas. Gronw, or Gronwy, one of his younger sons had Trecastell for his portion. Tudor, son of Gronw, who lived to be called Tudor Hen or the old Tudor founded the Carmelite friary in Bangor and was grandfather of Tudor Vychan ap Gronw of Trecastell, who is said to have assumed the style of a knight, and to have had that rank confirmed to him by Edward III.[1]
