Owen Blayney
(Owain ap Ieuan Blaene)
Esquire of the body of King Edward 4th
born 1405 died ?
Owen lived in the Aberbechan Mansion, five or so kilometers (7.5km by "string on the map") away from his brother Gruffydd at Gregynog [See Location page], with whom he had such a harmonious relationship they become the subject of poetry by Lewis Glyn Cothi.
White as the Lily
Are the swans of Tregynon;
Leaders of men are the two
Scions of Iewan Blayney.
Owen, stout is the point of his spear,
And Griffith, a stag of gentle birth.

Deputy Steward to Richard, Duke of York and later Esquire of the Body to Richard's son, King Edward IV. [240] [337]
Owen was the eldest son of Ieuan Blayney (Evan Blayney), of Tregynon, who, according to custom, left his younger brother, Grufydd, in possession of the paternal mansion. [229]
