Tudur ap Goronwy

Tudur ap Goronwy (c. 1310 - c. 1367) was a Welsh landowner, soldier and administrator of the Tudors of Penmynydd family from the island of Anglesey.

On his father's death in 1331, he inherited the family lands which had passed down from his grandfather Tudur Hen and lived in the village of Trecastell.

[1] His brother and ally, Hywel ap Goronwy (died about 1366), joined the priesthood, becoming a canon of Bangor Cathedral, and eventually Archdeacon of Anglesey.

[2] He was a royal officer for the island of Anglesey and served in the English army of King Edward III of England during the campaigns in France in 1337.

[3] Both brothers were arrested and placed in custody,[1] with Hywel held at Launceston in Cornwall and Tudur in Chester, but both were eventually released without charge or penalty.
