  • VAUGHAN family, of Hergest, Kington, Herefords.
• The first of the Vaughans to reside here was Thomas ap Roger Vaughan, son of Roger Vaughan of Bredwardine, who was killed at Agincourt (see Vaughan family of Bredwardine). His mother was Gwladys, daughter of Dafydd Gam He was, therefore, a full brother of Watkin Vaughan of Bredwardine, and Sir Roger Vaughan of Tre tower (see Vaughan family of Tretower), and a uterine brother of Sir William Herbert, earl of Pembroke and of Sir Richard Herbert. His wife was Ellen Gethin, daughter of Dafydd ap Cadwgan ap Phylip Dorddu, one of the Vaughans Of Tyle Glas. The earliest record of him is that he was constable of the castle of Huntingdon (some two miles from Hergest) in 1422. He was receiver of the three lordship~ of Brecknock, Hay, and Huntingdon in 1453- At the Coventry Parliament of 1457, he was granted a general pardon with others of his kinsmen and neighbours ~ an indication that Henry VI's advisers hoped to prevent them from throwing in their lot with the York party.
  • Vaughans - Marches
• 1451 6 January Thomas Vaughan of Hergest who died in 1469 was appointed receiver of the lordship of Brecon
• Again in 1460, he was placed on a commission to seize in the king's name; the castles and manors of the duke of York and the earl of Warwick in Elvell, Melenith Gwerthrynion, and on the Herefordshire border In 1461, he was appointed receiver of the lordships during the minority of the heir to the duchy of Buckingham. Like his brothers however, he joined the Yorkists. He is found with them on commissions of oyer and terminer in North Wales in 1467, and it was with their forces that he marched to his death at the field of Edgecote, near Banbury, in 1469. There is some uncertainty about the date of his death.. From Lewis Glyn Cothi's elegies upon his death it could be argued that he fell in the main battle on the 26th , and there was a tradition in the family in the time of Dr. John David Rhys that he, and not Sir Richard Herbert, was the hero of that battle. His body was brought home for burial at Kington, and, despite much renovation, the alabaster tomb, which his widow had erected in that church, survives to this day. He is said to have been 69 years old when he died. In the pedigree books, he is described as lord of Hergest, Blethvaugh, Nash, and Llaneinion. His widow was living at Nash, near Presteign, in 1474, when she obtained an indulgence for those who would pray for her husband's soul. There is a tradition that she slew, with her own hand, her cousin Sion Hir ap Phylip Fychan, to avenge the death of her brother, Dafydd Fychan Of Llin~Vent in Llanbister, whom he had killed. Thomas Vaughan and Ellen had three sons, 'Watkin Vaughan', Richard Vaughan , who died shortly after his father and Roger Vaughan (See Vaughan family of Clyro}, and one daughter, Alice Vaughan wife of Robert Whitney, The heir, Watkin Vaughan, maintained the tradition which made Hergest a resort for the greatest Welsh bards of the 15th cent. For three generations Welsh culture found a home at Hergest. There were preserved the 'Red Book of Hergest,' which is now at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the White Book of Hergest,' the collection of Welsh prose and verse which was lost in the Covent Garden fire of 1808. 'Watkin Vaughan married Sybil, daughter of Sir John Baskerville, and grand-daughter of Sir Walter Devereux'. His cousin, 'William Herbert, earl of Huntingdan, gave him the stewardship and receivership of the castle and lordship of Huntingdon, Herefordshire, in 1484, and he was made seneschal of the lordship of Brecknock by Thomas ap Sir Roger Vaughan of Tretower. He was an arbitrator in a case of murder in 1485 (B.M. Harl. MS. 6079). The bards were extravagant in their eulogies on him. Tudur Penllyn says that he was the controller of all taxes in Powys, and that he was a constable on the banks of both the Vyrnwy and the Wye. Nine children are recorded to him. James Vaughan was the heir, The second son Roger Vaughan, who married. Ellen, daughter of Sir Thomas Cornewall had a daughter Sybil, wife of Hugh Lewis, Harpton, one of the commissioners who signed Gruffudd Hiraethog's bardic licence in 1545 and was father of John Lewis of Llynwene
