Notities over Llywelyn Ap IFOR

Tredegar House LLYWELYN ab IFOR’S eldest son MORGAN, who inherited Tredegar, was the ancestor of THOMAS LEWIS’S wife ELIZABETH, and it is known that he witnessed a deed in 1375 (DWB, “Morgan family of Tredegar Park”) and died in 1381. In the next generation MORGAN’S younger son PHILIP was our ancestor, but MORGAN was succeeded by his eldest son Llywelyn ap MORGAN, who in 1387 served on the jury of an IPM, and was appointed sheriff of Carmarthen. He was living at Tredegar House in 1402 as the first recorded owner, but in the following year he forfeited his estates, including that at St Clears, as punishment for supporting the rebellion of Owain Glyn Dwr. However, his wife Margery had received dower of his estates at St Clears, Newport and Cardiff from Henry VII by 1411, so they were returned to the family (Griffiths, Principality, p.270). His descendants at Tredegar continued among the most important families in the county. Their son Ieuan MORGAN was active between 1415 and 1448, and their grandson Sir John MORGAN, known as Y Marchog Tew (the fat knight), was the subject of a poem about 1460 describing his journey to Jerusalem, where he was created a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. As he was an efficient administrator he was made deputy chamberlain (financial officer) of South Wales in 1473 under Edward IV, but he supported Henry VII at Bosworth in 1485, opposing Edward’s successor Richard III, and his reward was appointment as Sheriff of the Lordship of Gwynllwg, Steward of Machen, and Constable of Newport Castle. His descendants continued to own the Tredegar estate until 1957, shortly before the death of the last of that line. The family arms, ‘Or, a gryphon segreant Sable, armed Argent’ (on a gold shield, a black gryphon standing on one hind leg, with silver talons) came from LLYWELYN ab IFOR and were first borne by MORGAN ap LLYWELYN. They are carved on Sir John’s monument at St Woollos cathedral in Newport. His own arms also quarter ‘Gules, three towers Or, gates and windows Sable’ (on a red shield, three gold towers with black gates and windows) for his ancestor HYWEL of Caerleon
