Katherine
TUDOR, daughter of Tudor ap Robert Vychan and Jane Vielvillewas born
about 1545 in Berain. She died on 27 Aug 1591.
Catherine
Tudor was daughter and heiress of Tudor ap Vychan of Berain. She was beautiful,
rich, and of a royal race; the ward, companion, friend and relative of
Queen Elizabeth. “Catherine Tudor, being great-grand-daughter of Henry
VII, in female descent; and also descended from Sir Owen Tudor on her father's
side.”
Catherine of Berain
"There was also a fine portrait, by Lucas de Heere, of “Catherine of Berain: in the costume of the time of Queen Elizabeth, date 1568. She wrote a locket (said to contain the hair of her second and favourite husband, Sir Richard Clough) suspended to her neck by a gold chain. She had four husbands: John Salusbury of Lleweni, Sir Richard Clough of Denbigh, Morris Wynne of Gwvdir, and Edward Thellwall of Plas y Ward. She died 27 August 1591, and was buried at Llanefydd on the first of September. No monument perpetuates her memory, but her portrait is preserved at Garthewin. Tradition, which is always extravagant, and has a special delight in the marvellous, has given this lady no less than seven husbands. It is said that when performing her last duty at the tomb of her first husband, she was escorted to church by Sir Richard Clough, and home by Morris Wynned of Geydir, who expressed a wish to be her second spouse, and received the civil reply, that his offer came too late, for she had already promised her hand to Sir Richard in going to church; but that is she should be call to perform the same melancholy ceremony over that gallant knight, he might rest assured that he should be her third benedict; a promise which she afterwards honorably performed.”
“Queen Elizabeth made him a Knight of the Garter in 1574, and, in 1580,
he was appointed ambassador extraordinary to confer the insignia of the
Order of the Garter on Henri III of France. In 1577, he visited Isle of
Man, and presided at a common-law court, and at a Tynwald Court at St.
John's, when the bishop did homage for his barony. He was also present
at a Tynwald Court in 1583, when regulations for salmon and trout fishing
were passed. In 1585, he ordered the Deemsters and Keys to declare the
law about "Treasure Trove", whereupon they stated that any such treasure
was a "Prerogative due unto his Lordship by the Lawes of this Isle". Bishop
Meryck gives a pleasant idea of his rule in Man by his statement that the
island "is very fortunate in its expenses, ... for the Earl expends the
greater part of his yearly rent in defraying them". In the same year, he
became a privy councillor; and, in 1586, he was appointed one of the commissioners
of the trial of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. In 1588, he was made chief
commissioner to treat for peace with Spain; and, in 1589, he was appointed
lord high steward.

HALSALL, daughter of Thomas Halsall and Jane Stanley, was born

Clifford), three natural children, by one Jane Halsal, of Knowsley, one
son named Thomas, and two daughters, Dorothy and Ursula, for whom he made
a liberal provision. Dorothy, his first daughter, married Sir Cuth, Halsal,
of Halsal, in the county of Lancaster, and Ursula, his second daughter,
married Sir John Salisbury, of Sterney, in the county of Derby.”
