  • Notes 
    • Thomas (1438-1470), 3rd son.

      He is mentioned in Reyborn's will, and had been the custodian of the relics of St Teilo.

      He married Catherine Fetch Morgan (1436-1468), daughter of Welsh nobleman Morgan Ap Llewellyn, and founded the Radyr line of Mathew.

      He was also buried at The Gaunt's Chapel, Bristol.

      On Thomas' death in 1470, his lands passed to his son William Mathew (1460-1528), who was knighted by King Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.[15]

      Sir William accompanied King Henry VIII to the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520.

      His successor was his eldest son Sir George Mathew (1486-1557) who became the MP for Glamorgan constituency and in 1545 Sheriff of Glamorgan.[15][16]

      From the Radyr line was founded the family of the Earls Landaff in the peerage of Ireland. [4]
