Basic arms & blazon[edit]

The modern arms were the paternal arms of Gwenllian, the daughter and heiress of w:Rhys Mechyll (d.1244) (Lord of Dinefwr, House of Deheubarth, grandson of w:Rhys ap Gruffydd), and wife of Gilbert Talbot (d.1274), grandfather of w:Gilbert Talbot, 1st Baron Talbot (d.1345/6) (http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/TALBOT.htm#Gilbert TALBOT (1° B. Talbot)) assumed by Talbot as arms of alliance of a great heiress, superseding his own former paternal arms of Bendy of 10 pieces argent and gules (Encyclopædia Britannica, 9th.ed. vol. 11, p.691, Heraldry; Debrett's Peerage, 1968, p.1015, E. of Shrewsbury & Waterford). The assumption about Gwenllian however was unfounded as Rhys Mechyll, Lord of Dinefwr, also had male heirs[1] who acceded to the arms of the House of Deheubarth.
