• .... After fighting in the Boulogne campaign he was himself elected with Charles Herbert in 1545, and two years later he helped to return his brother-in-law Sir Thomas Morgan and cousin Thomas Herbert. His knighthood in 1549 was a recognition of his public service and perhaps also a reward for supporting John Dudley, Earl of Warwick, in the overthrow of the Protector Somerset. Herbert was a sick man on 30 Sept. 1550 when he made his will providing for his wife and children and naming his son William executor and his kinsmen (Sir) William Herbert I and Matthew Herbert of Cogan Pill, Glamorganshire, overseers. In November he was chosen sheriff again and a month later he was named to the commission to supervise the collection of the third part of the relief, but on 17 Feb. 1551 his son William replaced him as sheriff. His will was proved ten days later and a monument was erected over his grave at St. Woollos near Newport.4

• William Herbert’s father died during his year as sheriff and there can be little doubt that it was Herbert who completed the term. He was not to enjoy the power and prestige accorded to his father in South Wales and he makes only occasional appearances in the records. Of his Membership of the Parliament of 1555 all that is known is that he was not among those who opposed one of the government’s bills, unlike his fellow-knight and relative William Morgan. According to Herbert the pair were re-elected to the following Parliament, in 1558, but the sheriff returned Morgan and Francis Somerset, who was a son of the 2nd Earl of Worcester. As Herbert’s father had been in Worcester’s service, the earl perhaps counted on Herbert’s acquiescence in Somerset’s return, ....
• Herbert’s marriage to one of the three daughters of Edward Gruffydd involved him in lengthy litigation against their uncle Sir Rhys Gruffydd over the partition of the Penrhyn estates. He made his will on 13 Jan. 1567 when a sick man, and asked to be buried in the church at Christchurch, Monmouthshire. To his brother George Herbert he left the lease of his heir’s lands in Anglesey and Caernarvon and all lands in Glamorgan, to his brother Miles a tenement at St. Michael’s in Llantarnam and to his sister Barbara a sum of £33 6s.8d. The remainder, including all the goods and lands in Monmouth, went to his second wife Dorothy, who was named executrix. The will, which was witnessed by Mathew Herbert, Giles Morgan and William Morgan, was proved on 7 Feb. 1567, Herbert having died on 13 Jan. possessed of lands in Monmouthshire worth more than £72 a year.4

• HERBERT, George (d.1580), of Newport, Mon.
• 2nd s. of Sir Walter Herbert† of St. Julian’s by Mary, da. of Sir William Morgan of Pencoed. unm., at least 1ch.
• .... In September 1578 he was one of the ‘gentlemen, soldiers and mariners’ who, under Miles Morgan of Tredegar, joined Sir Humphrey Gilbert in an expedition to America whose departure was delayed by charges of piracy brought against Gilbert. This led to energetic measures against piracy in the western ports, in the course of which Herbert was examined. Nothing serious being proved against him, he duly set sail. Miles Morgan was lost at sea, but Herbert returned to carry on a brisk trade with Bordeaux, Rochelle, and Lisbon, importing salt and iron, and exporting lead, wax, cloth, hides and flax.
• Herbert made his nephew, Sir William Herbert of St. Julian’s, his principal heir, not only to his lands in Monmouthshire, but to the Green Dragon. The Steven he left to his brother Miles, together with the goods in his warehouses at Newport and Caerleon. He also bequeathed money towards building a bridge at Newport. His chief properties lay in Caerleon and Newport, and in Penmark, Glamorganshire. His sister, Barbara Herbert, was executrix of the will, proved 26 Sept. 1580.
