Walter HERBERT of St. Julian [Sir]
Born: BEF 1509, St. Julians [Gillian], Monmouthshire, Wales <<<< Date unlikely. Subtracting 20 years.
Died: ABT 17 Feb 1550/1
Notes: Succeeded father after 1504. Knighted 10 Nov 1549. Commissioner clerical tenths, diocese of Llandaff 1535, relief, Mon. 1550; deputy steward of Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester, S. Wales by 1537-1538 or later; sheriff, Mon. 1541-1542, 1550-death, Justice of Peace 1543-death.
Nothing has come to light about Walter Herbert's upbringing or career until the 1530s when a quarrel with his father-in-law brought the pair into the Star Chamber. Other disputes about his title to land and avowsons, payment of rent and exercise of office under the Earl of Worcester involved him in further litigation and brought him regularly to the notice of the Council in the marches and of Cromwell. The protection given him by his kinsman Worcester ensured that he emerged largely unscathed from repeated charges of corruption and maintaining criminals, and on the enforcement of the Act of Union he was given a place in local administration.
Passed over as sheriff in favour of his cousin Charles Herbert in 1540, Herbert was pricked in the following year and during his shrievalty he returned the first Members for Monmouthshire and Monmouth Boroughs. After fighting in the Boulogne campaign he was himself elected with Charles Herbert in 1545, and two years later he helped to return his brother-in-law Sir Thomas Morgan and cousin Thomas Herbert. His knighthood in 1549 was a recognition of his public service and perhaps a reward for supporting John Dudley, Earl of Warwick, in the overthrow of the Protector Somerset. Herbert was a sick man on 30 Sep 1550 when he made his will providing for his wife and children and naming his son William executor and his kinsmen Sir William Herbert and Matthew Herbert of Cogan Pill, Glamorganshire, overseers. In Nov he was chosen sheriff again and a month later he was named to the commission to supervise the collection of the third part of relief, but on 17 Feb 1551 his son William replaced him as sheriff. His will was proved ten days later and a monument was erected over his grave at St. Woolos near Newport.
