The Baskerville family is a very old Norman family in England. Eardisley in Herefordshire was their earliest home. Ralph de Baskerville married Sibyl, heiress of Adam de Port and held a knights fee in 1165 of Adam de Port, in Eardisley. His son, Sir Robert Baskerville, >>> married Agnes, daughter of >> Nesta <<, daughter of Rhys ap Gryfudd, Prince of South Wales. Their sons were Ralph, Walter died post 1168, Robert, died post 1173, and Richard, died 1177. Their Sir Ralph de Baskerville married a daughter of Drogo, Lord Clifford in 1154. He held his lands from the reign of Henry I through inheritance and upon his murder in 1194 in Northamptonshire, his son Roger succeeded to Eardisley, in Herfordshire and his son Thomas succeeded him at Pickthorn, the Shropshire estate. In 1200, Thomas, not yet of age, challenged Roger Fitz William … for that wickedly, and in the King peace, and in felony, and in murder, he slew Ralph de Baskerville his father in his house, and this the said Thomas saw, as he said, being a boy under age, and this he offers to prove against Roger with his body. Another son, Walter married first Emma de St. Leger, who died in 1196, then the widow, Iseult Pantulf. Emma was the mother of Walter Baskerville who was born about 1194 and died around 1243. Another son of Ralph and the lady Clifford was Ralph who died in 1186. In Warwickshire is Stretton-Baskerville, which obtained its name from William d Baskerville who held three fees of Robert, Earl Ferrers honor of Tutbury. In 1208, the last Baskerville to hold Stretton was Walter, grandson of William.

> Rhys's daughter Nest or Annest ferch Rhys married Rhodri ab Owain, prince of the western part of Gwynedd. <<<<<<
Gwenllian who married Ednyfed Fychan, seneschal of Gwynedd under Llywelyn the Great, and through her, Rhys became an ancestor of the Tudor dynasty. Through the Tudors inter-marrying with the House of Stuart Rhys is an ancestor to the current ruling house of the United Kingdom and also an ancestor of several ruling houses in Europe. When Henry Tudor landed in Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1485 to make a bid for the throne, his descent from Rhys was one of the factors which enabled him to attract Welsh support dragon banner at the battle of Bosworth Field).[74]

!Note: Nesta ferch Rhys ap Gruffydd , daughter of The Lord Rhys, was the mother of Agnes verch Owain, who married Sir Robert de Baskerville , the grandson of Sybil de Braose. This makes Nesta the great-granddaughter-in-law of the original Robert de Baskerville , not his wife or daughter-in-law as previously claimed. The confusion arose from three generations being collapsed due to repeated names and powerful political marriages.
