• Notes

  William Griffith, lord of Penrhyn Castle, chamberlain of North Wales, "was made a Knight of Bath on St. Andrew's Eve, 1489, at the coronation of Price Arthur, and of his Bayne," married Jane, daughter of Sir William Troutbeck, of co. Chester, and his wife Margaret Stanley, also of baronial descent. He was Chamberlain of North Wales. He fought in the battle of Bosworth in 1485 for Henry VII, who was his cousin. It was his mother-in -law's, Margaret Stanley's, brothers Sir William Stanley and Thomas Stanley, Earl of Derby that entered the battle and gave the victory to Henry (Tudor) VII over King Richard III.
