Richard Herbert (died 1510)

"[6] In 1465, Richard Herbert was granted Westminster, manors of Grove, Radnore, Mookas, Brutescourt, Throuckeston, Westhide, Egelton, Redehire, Howton and Wormeton Tirell, in Herefordshire.

[7] He was successful as a Gentleman Usher to King Henry VII and was appointed Constable and Porter of Abergavenny Castle on 22 July 1509.

Richard married Margaret, a daughter of Sir Matthew Cradock of Swansea and of Alice (or Jane) Mancell, widow of John Malefant.

[4] Later Earls of Pembroke[3] and Montgomery, and of Carnarvon, and the Dukes of Powis, of Pool Castle (extinct 1747), descend from Sir Richard Herbert.

[12] Richard Herbert died between 2 and 12 September 1510 and was buried in Abergavenny Church; his tomb has a lavishly decorated wall arch and an alabaster effigy.

Arms of Sir Richard Herbert (d. 1510) of Ewyas, Herefordshire: Herbert ( Per pale azure and gules, three lions rampant argent ), differenced by a bordure componée gules bezantée and or , to reflect his illegitimacy. The differenced arms were borne by his son William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423–1469) and grandson Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (c. 1539–1601), but the difference was dropped by later earls, who bore Herbert undifferenced [ 1 ]
