Later Life
Gruffydd was present with Arthur's younger brother Henry VIII of England when Henry travelled to France for the famous Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520. He married Catherine St John, daughter of John St John who was related to Margaret Beaufort around 1507 and had one son:
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:
“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
“We can conceive a thinking being to have either many or few perceptions. Suppose the mind to be reduced even below the life of an oyster. Suppose it to have only one perception, as of thirst or hunger. Consider it in that situation. Do you conceive any thing but merely that perception? Have you any notion of self or substance? If not, the addition of other perceptions can never give you that notion.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
