Rhys ap Griffith (1508–1531, who was later executed by Henry VIII for treason.
Gruffydd ap Rhys himself died prematurely in 1521 therefore died prior to the divorce of Catherine of Aragon, and unlike other members of Arthur's household never had to assure people that Arthur had consummate his marriage with Catherine. Gruffydd's tomb is also in Worcester Cathedral.
