English peer. He was the son of
John Grey, 1st Earl of Tankerville and his wife Joan Charleton, co-heiress and 6th Lady of Powys.
Life
He became the 2nd Earl of Tankerville on 22 March 1420/1421 and was invested as a
Knight in 1426.
Tankerville had
Sir Gruffudd Vychan summarily executed in
Powis Castle in 1447, in violation of a safe conduct given. It is not known whether he suspected Vychan of
Yorkist sympathies, whether it was in retribution for the death of Sir Christopher Talbot at Sir Gruffudd's hand, or whether he wished to eliminate Vychan's claim to Powis.[3]
