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.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
