Penrhyn Castle
near Bangor, Carnarvonshire - Lord Penrhyn
"Roderick Molwynog, Sovereign of North Wales in the eighth century, was the owner
of Penrhyn Castle at the early date of 720. It was razed to the ground by Meredydd ap Owen
in 987, who invaded the country, and slew the then remaining monarch, Cadwallan ap Jevaf.
Gwillym ap Gryffydd possessed the estate in the reign of King Henry the Sixth, and rebuilt the house.
It then passed through the Gryffydd family to Piers Gryffydd, who sold the estate to his cousin,
The Right Rev. Dr John Williams, Lord Keeper, and Archbishop of York.
Penrhyn then passed from the Williams family to John Pennant, Lord Penrhyn, through the female line."
