William ap Thomas (died 1445) was a member of the Welsh gentry family his son William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke an ancestor of the current Earls of Pembroke. of Raglan manor, attained through marriage through heiress Elizabeth Bluet.
SIR WILLIAM HERBERT, EARL OF PEMBROKE, was elder son of William Herbert of Raglan Castle, called also William ap Thomas, and in Welsh Margoah Glas, or Gumrhi, who fought in France under Henry V, and was made a knight-banneret in 1415. Herbert's mother was Gladys, daughter and heiress of David Gam, and widow of Sir Robert Vaughan.
Sir Richard Herbert of Colebrook was a younger brother. Sir William's grandfather, Thomas ap Gwillim ap Jenkin (d.1438), secured Raglan Castle on his marriage with Maud, daughter and heiress of Sir John Morley.
The castle was greatly expanded by William and his son, William Herbert, into the well-fortified Raglan Castle, one of the finest late medieval Welsh castles. William served King Henry V of England during his first French campaign and in numerous subsequent capacities and was knighted in 1426.
There was Jane Griffith daughter of Edward Griffith of Penrhyn b: 18 May 1511 Mother: Sian Puleston b: ABT 1520 in Bersham,Wrecsam, Dinbych, Cymru spouse William Herbert of St Julians
THIS William Herbert was the elder brother to George Herbert, of Newport. He inherited the estate of St. Julian's from his father, Sir Walter Herbert. He increased his influence by marrying Jane, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Wm. Griffiths, of Anglesea. The other sister married Sir Edward Stradling, of St. Donat's Castle, and was the friend and patroness of Dr. Shon Dafydd Rhys.
In his youth he, William Herbert, was a wild young fellow, and was one of the chief actors in a famous riot at Newport in 1545, which ended in a long Star chamber hearing. After a squabble over a dog on a certain Sunday morning, he drew a dagger and wounded one of the cadets of the house of Morgan. William Herbert escaped out of the town and fled to the Abbey of Llan-tarnam. This incident led to a general rising of the rival clans of Herbert and Morgan.
His son by Jane was also Sir William Herbert

SIR WILLIAM was the leading man in the district of that time. A man of large possessions, allied to many noble families in England and Cymru. From his mother, who was the Griffiths heiress, of Anglesea, he inherited large estates in North Cymru. He was also the owner of a large estate in Monmouthshire, and besides St. Julian's, had a house at Tintern, also a town house at Mortlake, near London, close to Queen Elizabeth's Palace at Sheen. Added to these, he received a rich grant of lands in the South of Ireland from the Queen, as one of the pacifiers. He was a man full of an overwhelming pride of family, and on the death of his two sons from an accident, he insisted by his will that his only daughter must marry a Herbert or lose the estates. But she kept the estates by marrying Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury.
The career of Sir William in the county and in Parliament is well sketched by the poet, who must have been very intimate with the fiery knight of St. Julian's, who was certainly a very remarkable character, the author of several curious and interesting works.
There is an ode which sketches the descent of Sir William Herbert from the Herbert line, the white line of the Earls. His grandfather, Sir Walter, and Sir John, son of the old Earl of Pembroke, starting with the golden line of the Saxon, Godwin, from whom Sir William, as descendent of Sir George, the first of the Herberts of St. Julian's, claimed descent, and of Fitz Herbert, the Chamberlain to Henry I.
Sir William is reminded that he is of the blood of David Gam, the Lady Gwladys, David Gam's daughter, being the mother of all the Herberts. He was also of the Morgan family (his grandmother was a Morgan of Pencoed), could claim descent from Ynyr, Prince of Gwent, and was also related to the House of Devereux. Could boast, too, of the blood of Caradoc Fraich Fras, and of Morley of Llansantfraid. Anyone familiar with the pedigree of the Herberts will at once note how correct our poet is in all these details.
