Alys is known to have married Sir John Scudamore a sheriff of Herefordshire. A secret marriage would have been feasible for an influential man, well connected at all levels, in his family heartlands, where local bonds maybe count for more than the rule of law and outside legislators.
Glyndwr's harbourersedit
It is rumoured and postulated that they sheltered Owain Glyndŵr during the last years of his life when he disappeared, avoided capture, was not betrayed despite large rewards, ignored successive Royal pardons offered by King Henry V and was reputedly disguised as a family Chaplain and children's tutor.
In 1999, it was claimed that they knew the precise whereabouts of Glyndŵr's secret grave.[1]
In 2006, the Owain Glyndwr Society's president Adrien Jones said: "Four years ago we visited a direct descendant of Glyndwr, a John Skidmore, at Kentchurch Court, near Abergavenny. He took us to Mornington Straddle, in Herefordshire, where one of Glyndwr's daughters, Alice, lived. Mr Skidmore told us that he (Glyndŵr) spent his last days there and eventually died there.... It was a family secret for six hundred years and even Mr. Skidmore's mother, who died shortly before we visited, refused to reveal the secret. There's even a mound where he is believed to be buried at Mornington Straddle."[1]
