- Occupation Notes
- This family are owners of Picton Castle in Wales. They retain a Royal title, and a Coats of Arms obtained from King Richard II some years before. They are known to spend part of each year in the Royal Court at London, where marriages and the birth of children can be noted in the files in this family tree, and part of each year at the castle in Wales, as well as in various estates in Shropshire and Carmethan, near the castle. Some photographs and stories may be found. The Wogan line of Picton ended in an heiress who married Owain Dwnn, and the Dwnns in turn ended in an heiress, Jane, who in the late 15th century married Sir Thomas Philipps of Cilsant, esquire to the body of Henry VII. The Cilsant family, which held extensive lands in West Carmarthenshire was descended from a late 11th-century magnate named Cadifor Fawr. Cadifor's great-grandson, Aaron ap Rhys, took part in the Third Crusade, became a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre, and is said to have added the golden collar and chain to the back of the lion rampart which is the insignia of the Philipps family. The Philippses have held Picton Castle since the days of Sir Thomas.
