Sir David Owen was a son of the elder Owen Tudor, and thus an uncle of the
half blood to Henry VII, by whom he was much favored. He is a "former ancestor"
of mine (i.e. the line was rudely severed) and I'm afraid I haven't time to dig
into those files to find the references right now. The DNB should have an
article on him.
