    • ' PHILIP MANSELL, son of John Maunsell and Cecily, his wife, was 15 years of age when he succeeded to his father's and grandfather's estates, as per Inquisition held at Swansea by Humphry Plantagenet, Duke of Gloucester, 13th Henry VI. About 1444, he married, first, Mabel, dau. of Griffiths Nicolas, of Newton, Co. Caermarthen, heiress of her mother, Jane, heiress of Jenkin ap Rees ap David, descended from Cadifor ap Dinawall. In the Inquisition recorded above, Philip is mentioned as the son of John, and grandson of Richard Maunsell.
    • ' Amongst the MSS. at Britton Ferry, copied by Revd. J. M. Traherne, appears the following : — "Ego Phillipus filius et haeres nuper Johis Maunsell de Oxenwych, 10 die mens Maie, 1444." By a deed dated 1459-60, to which Sir Wm. Berkeley, Knt., then Seneschal of Gower, and others are witnesses, he entailed his Gower estates on his sons, John, Leonard, and Jenkyn. (See Appendix, Nos. 77 and 84.)
    • He married, secondly, about this latter date, Elizabeth, dau. and heir of Sir Philip Long, Knt., and had further issue.
    • He fought at Mortimers Cross against Edward, Earl of March (afterwards Edward IV.). On the same side were Jasper Earl of Pembroke, James Earl of Ormond, and Owen Tudor (who had married Queen Catherine, mother of Henry VI.). For this he was attainted in Parliament in 1464, and two years later his Gower estates were bestowed upon Sir Roger Vaughan, Knt., as per Patent Roll, 5th Edward IV.
    • Philip and his sons, under leadership of his relative the Earl of Warwick, fought throughout for the Red Rose. Two of his sons were slain ; and at the battle of Tewkesbury he was taken prisoner by Sir John Conyers, and was soon afterwards beheaded.
    • ' Philip appears to have been the first to omit the "u" in spelling of the name. He had issue by his first wife, viz. :
      • I. John, killed in battle.
      • II. Leonard, killed in battle.
      • III. Jenkyn, of whom afterwards.
    • He had issue by second marriage, viz. :
      • IV. Richard, for which see Maunsell of Chicheley, page 39.
      • V. Philip, of whom nothing is known.
      • VI. Elizabeth, who, in 1489, married Sir Mathew Cradock, of Swansea Seneschal of Gower, by whom she was mother of one daughter, viz. .......

Monmouth, ancestor of the present Earl of Pembroke ; and thirdly. Sir Wm. Bawdrip.
      • JENKIN MANSELL.on the accession of Henry VII., in 1485, obtained a repeal of the attainder against his father and a restoration in blood and estates. At a tournament given by his cousin. Sir Rice ap Thomas, Knt., Constable and Lieutenant of Brecknock, 21st Henry VII., to celebrate the order of the Garter having been conferred on him, amongst others from Glamorgan came Jenkin Mansell, surnamed "Dewr," or "the Valiant." In this tournament he bore for motto, " Perit sine adversario virtus." — See Cambrian Register, Vol. I., page 25. In 1486 he married Edith, dau. and heir of Sir Geo. Kyme or Kene, Knt., of Well Hall, Eltham, Co. Kent, and granddaughter of Sir Wm. Kyme (who was sheriff of Kent 25 Hen. VI.). by Agnes, widow of John Tettershall, and dau. of John Chichele, Chamberlain of London, by Margery, dau. of Sir Thos. Knolles, Lord Mayor of London.
