Reginald Grey (died after 24 January 1485).

John Grey [given manor of Kempston]

Robert Grey (born 1419), married Eleanor Lowe, by whom he had issue[1]

[edit]Early career

In 1410 after a long dispute, the younger Reginald won the right to bear the arms of the Hastings family. He enjoyed the favour both of Richard II and Henry IV, and his chief military exploits were against the Welsh, during the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr.

[edit]Rebellion of Owain Glyndwr

Reginald de Grey was responsible for issuing and enforcing royal demands in the Northern March, such as calling the local nobility and gentry and their men to Royal and military service, for example against the Scots as at this time. He was already in a long running legal dispute with Glyndwr, claiming a tranche of Glyndwr's land as his own. Under King Richard II the case had been found in favour of Glyndwr, but on the usurpation of King Henry IV of England Lord Grey seized the land.

Glyndwr responded in law early in 1400 but his case was not granted a hearing, instead it was asked of Glyndwr that he grant Lord Grey further concessions. De Grey also delayed summoning Glyndwr's quota or levy of men for service in Scotland until the last moment, making it impossible for Glyndwr to respond as requested or even send an explanation for his absence and the lack of his levy. Such an act as refusal or failure to respond to an order of the King was deemed a treasonous act. Glyndwr's estates were deemed forfeit until he could prove his loyalty or receive due punishment.

De Grey now invited Glyndwr to a reconciliation meeting, but arrived with a large force, attempting to surround Glyndwr and clearly showing his intent. Glyndwr escaped with his life and went into hiding, confirming himself a traitor in English eyes. King Henry confiscated the estates of Glyndwr's supporters, and granted them to John Beaufort, his half-brother.

The rebellion spread after initial successes for the Welsh and by 1402 it was gathering momentum. Lord Grey was captured by Glyndwr's forces in an ambush near Ruthin in January. A ransom of 10,000 marks was asked for him and Lord Grey was asked to swear an oath never to bear arms against Glyndwr again. King Henry IV sent eleven knights to treat with Glyndwr and then complied with the ransom, ordering the selling of a manor in Kent to raise the monies in mid 1402.

Lord Grey then would have been expected to repay the amount over time as best he could and any outstanding debt would be borne by his family.

The family did in fact sell the Lordship to King Henry VII in 1508 when their fortunes and favour declined.

[edit]Hundred Years War

Grey was a member of the Council which governed England during the absence of Henry V in France in 1415; he later fought against the French in the Hundred Years War in 1420 and 1421. He had been previously a Governor of Ireland.

Ruthin Castle is a medieval castle fortification in Wales, near the town of Ruthin in the Vale of Clwyd. 
It was constructed during the late 13th century by Dafydd, the brother of Prince Llywelyn II, on a red sandstone ridge overlooking the valley. The castle was most notably the base of that branch of the noble de Grey family accorded the title "Barons Grey de Ruthyn" and the head of their marcher lordship of Dyffryn Clwyd. It was a base for Reginald Grey, 3rd Baron Grey de Ruthyn – the man who could be said to have sparked the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr. During the English Civil War Oliver Cromwell's forces dismantled and demolished the castle, in a process of organised defortification called slighting, to prevent the castle's becoming militarily viable in the future. In 1923 the castle became Britain's first private hospital for the investigation and treatment of obscure internal diseases. Since the 1960s the castle remains have been incorporated into a hotel
