Has two families that are related to Aubrey/Awbrey family by marriage; Bevan and Thomas. In that family history they give the history of the Aubrey family. The Thomas family gives the same lineage lines as Bevan but there are some names that are different.

Stiant Awbrey, founder of the Aubrey family in Great Britain was " second brother to the Lord Awbrey, Earle of Bullen and Earle Marechal of France and came to England with William ye Conqueror in Anno 1066"

Sir Rinalt Awbrey son of Stiant, married a daughter of the Earle of Clare and Priany. Reginald (Rinalt) de St. Awbrey (de Sancto Alberico)born: abt 1175 died ?.Reginald wife was Isabel de Clare and their second son

St. Almedha, though not included in the ordinary lists, is said to have been a daughter of Brychan, and sister to St. Canoc, and to have borne the name of Elevetha, Aled, or Elyned, latinised into Almedha. The Welsh genealogists say, that she suffered martyrdom on a hill near Brecknock, where a chapel was erected to her memory; and William of Worcester says she was buried at Usk. Mr. Hugh Thomas (who wrote an essay towards the history of Brecknockshire in the year 1698) speaks of the chapel as standing, though unroofed and useless, in his time; the people thereabouts call it St. Tayled. It was situated on an eminence, about a mile to the eastward of Brecknock, and about half a mile from a farm-house, formerly the mansion and residence of the Aubreys, lords of the manor of Slwch, which lordship was bestowed upon Sir Reginald Awbrey by Bernard Newmarche, in the reign of William Rufus. Some small vestiges of this building may still be traced, and an aged yew tree, with a well at its foot, marks the site near which the chapel formerly stood.

But Gryffyth ap Rees hering this, sent to Gruffyth ap Conan, prince of North Wales, desiring him of his aid, and that he might remaine safelie within his countrie; which he granted, and received him joiouslie for his father's sake."

And at a subsequent period, he sent for Owen ap-Cadogan said to him, "Owen, I have found thee true and faithful unto me, therefore I desire thee to take or kill that murtherer, that doth so trouble my loving subjects." But Gruffyth escaped all the snares which the king had laid for him, and in the year 1137 died a natural and honourable death; he is styled in the Welsh chronicle, "the light, honor, and staie of South Wales;" and distinguished as the bravest, the wisest, the most merciful, liberal, and just, of all the princes of Wales.

Aubrey, William, LL.D. (1529-1595) and eminent civilian an grandfather of the antiquary, John Awbrey was born at Cantre [Cantreff], Brecknockshire, in or about 1529, and was educated at Oxford, where he graduated B.C.L. in 1549. He became fellow of All Souls� was appointed principal new In Hall, 1550, and professor of civil law in 1553. I appears that he discharged the duties of his professor by deputies; for William Mowse filled the chair in 1554. In 1559 he resigned in favour of John Griffth. Having taken the degree of D.C. L. (1554) Aubrey was admitted an advocate in the court of Arches, and afterwards officiated as judge-advocate in the expedition against St. Quentin. He died on 23 July 1595, leaving three sons and six daughters. In Dugdale�s History of St. Paul�s Cathedral� there is a drawing of Aubrey�s monument and effigy in St. Paul�s. His grandson, the antiquary, writes: �I have his originall picture. He had a delicate, quick, lively and piecing black eie, a severe eie browe, and a fresh complexion. The figure in his monument at St. Paules is not like him- it is too big�.

William Aubrey came of a well-established family of Breconshire. According to his greatgrandson John Aubrey he �learned the first grounds of grammar in the College of Brecon�, whence he proceeded to Oxford at the age of 14, where: (in a few years he so much profited in humanity and other recommendable knowledge, especially in rhetoric and histories, as that he was found to be fit for the study of the civil law, and thereupon was also elected unto the fellowship of All Souls College)
We also have in on John Aubrey�s authority that his ancestor was 25 when he received his doctorate: he had certainly not yet done so when on 7 Oct 1553 he was appointed joint professor of civil law. The post had previously been held by John Story, first alone and later with Robert Weston, but as Story had not had the last grant sealed it was again at the crown�s disposal. Of the stipend of L 40 a year Aubrey presumably received half , but at some time during his tenure he acquired Story�s interest and it was he alone who surrendered the office on 22 Feb 1559. He appears to have discharged its duties by deputy: in 1554 the lectures were given by William Mowse and in 1557 Aubrey went to France as judge marshal of the army led by William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke. Aubrey�s patronage by Pembroke, to which John Aubrey bore testimony, went back at least to the first year of Mary�s reign, for it was to the earl that he must have owed his election to the Parliament of April 1554; Pembroke was constable of Carmarthen castle and wielded much influence in the borough. By January 1558, when Aubrey was next returned to the House, the connexion had been strengthened by their wartime service together, and it was as the hero of St. Quentin, as well as chancellor and chamberlain of Brecon and constable of the castle, that Pembroke could procure Aubrey�s Membership of this Parliament is the entry of his name of Brecon Boroughs on the original Crown Office list: its omission (with 16 others) from a copy Of this list apparently made in preparation for the second session is a peculiarity which has yet to be explained but which hardly casts doubt upon his election. What part Aubrey played in the proceedings of either Parliament is unknown.

In 1558 Aubrey had most of his life and career still ahead of him: he was to rise high as a civil lawyer and ecclesiastical administrator and to be a Member of three Elizabethan Parliaments, the last of them separated by nearly 40 years from the one in which he had first sat. He died on 25 June 1595 and was buried in St. Paul�s cathedral.

He died on 23 July 1595, leaving three sons and six daughters. In Dugdale�s History of St. Paul�s Cath edral� there is a drawing of Aubrey�s monument and effigy in St. Paul�s. His grandson, the antiquary, writes: �I have his originall picture. He had a delicate, quick, lively and pi ecing black eie, a severe eie browe, and a fresh complexion. The figure in his monument at St. Paules is not like him- it is too big�.

William Aubrey came of a well-established family of Breconshire. According to his greatgrandson John Aubrey he �learned the first grounds of grammar in the College of Brecon�, whence he proc eeded to Oxford at the age of 14, where: (in a few years he so much profited in humanity and other recommendable knowledge, especially in rhetoric and histories, as that he was found to be fit for th e study of the civil law, and thereupon was also elected unto the fellowship of All Souls College)
We also have in on John Aubrey�s authority that his ancestor was 25 when he received his doctorate: he had certainly not yet done so when on 7 Oct 1553 he was appointed joint professor of civil l aw. The post had previously been held by John Story, first alone and later with Robert Weston, but as Story had not had the last grant sealed it was again at the crown�s disposal. Of the stipen d of L 40 a year Aubrey presumably received half , but at some time during his tenure he acquired Story�s interest and it was he alone who surrendered the office on 22 Feb 1559. He appears to hav e discharged its duties by deputy: in 1554 the lectures were given by William Mowse and in 1557 Aubrey went to France as judge marshal of the army led by William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke. Aubreyï¿ s patronage by Pembroke, to which John Aubrey bore testimony, went back at least to the first year of Mary�s reign, for it was to the earl that he must have owed his election to the Parliament o f April 1554; Pembroke was constable of Carmarthen castle and wielded much influence in the borough. By January 1558, when Aubrey was next returned to the House, the connexion had been strengthened b y their wartime service together, and it was as the hero of St. Quentin, as well as chancellor and chamberlain of Brecon and constable of the castle, that Pembroke could procure Aubrey�s Membersh ip of this Parliament is the entry of his name of Brecon Boroughs on the original Crown Office list: its omission (with 16 others) from a copy Of this list apparently made in preparation for the secon d session is a peculiarity which has yet to be explained but which hardly casts doubt upon his election. What part Aubrey played in the proceedings of either Parliament is unknown.

In 1558 Aubrey had most of his life and career still ahead of him: he was to rise high as a civil lawyer and ecclesiastical administrator and to be a Member of three Elizabethan Parliaments, the las t of them separated by nearly 40 years from the one in which he had first sat. He died on 25 June 1595 and was buried in St. Paul�s cathedral.
