toms claimed as of right by the Lords of Powys, then the representatives of the ancient princes of that division of the principality. According to the statements of Welsh genealogists and historians, Sir Gruffydd Vychan was created knight-banneret at the battle of Agincourt. He probably commanded (under the Lord Powys) the quota sent from his own district in the general levy from Wales, and as he received the honour of knighthood in the company of Sir David Gam, and his brave relatives, Sir Roger Vaughan and Sir Watkin Lloyd, who died on the field of battle, it may be presumed that Sir Gruffydd Vychan shared with them in the exploit of rescuing their sovereign from a very perilous situation. In the case of Sir Gruffydd Vychan, and also in the cases of others who obtained distinction at Agincourt, we observe their families in a short time rising to consideration and importance in their respective neighbourhoods. Sir Gruffydd Vychan, soon after that event, was called Lord of Burgedin, Treflydan, Garth, and Gaerfawr, though he had commenced his career as a second son of Gruffydd ap Ieuan ap Madoc ap Cadwgan Wenwys, a minor chieftain in Guilsfield; and his descendants in various branches continued, for many years after his decease, persons of consequence and influence in the county. About the latter end of the year 1417, two years after the battle of Agincourt, Sir Gruffydd Vychan, and his elder brother Ieuan, were parties to a deed, now in the possession of Mr. Mytton, of Garth, whereby Edward de Cherlton, then Lord of Powys, granted them several privileges for assisting in taking Sir John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham, who was captured by them and others within the lordship of Powys, and subsequently conducted to London, by Sir John Grey (afterwards Lord of Powys) who had married Joan, the eldest daughter and co-heir of Edward de Cherlton. Notwithstanding his services to the Lords of Powys, there is sufficient authority for stating that their faithful soldier, Sir Gruffydd Vychan, was put to death (by decapitation) under a for having refused to obey an order to permandate of Henry Grey, Lord of Powys, form some feudal service, and this atrocity was committed in direct violation of a safe conduct that had been granted to him. Sir Gruffydd Vychan must at this time have been far advanced in years, for at the period of the battle of Agincourt, where he gained his honourable distinction, Henry Powys, was not born; and the iniquitous Grey, Earl of Tankerville and Lord of putting to death of the hoary warrior, the companion in arms of his father, Sir John Grey, Earl of Tankerville, and of his grandfather, Edward de Cherlton, Lord of Powys, in many a well fought field, was in all pro
