Gwladus Ferch Dafydd Gam of WALES (Welsh Noblewoman)

BIOGRAPHY ...
First marriage:
~~~ Sir Roger Vaughan
...Gateway and country lane near Bredwardine
Gwladys married her first husband, Sir Roger Vaughan of Bredwardine also known as Roger Fychan (the younger), after her family returned to Wales. Roger, a gentleman of wealth, rank, and high respectability was a special friend of her father's, and would later be his companion in arms at the Battle of Agincourt.
Following her marriage, she never again left Wales. Gwladys was a supporter of Welsh culture, especially of the bards and minstrels of her time. In Lewus Glyn Cothi's elegy, Gwladys is called "the strength and support of Gwentland and the land of Brychan" (later the counties of Monmouth and Brecon): which she supported extensively.

Roger and Gwladys' father, Dafydd, had been part of the Welsh contingent that fought with Henry V of England; they both died at the Battle of Agincourt in France in 1415. Legends appeared in the 16th century claiming that upon saving the life of Henry V at the expense of their own lives, both men were knighted by the king on the battlefield before they died.However, there is no contemporary validation that the legends are true.
