Humphrey Llwyd (1527-1568), was son and heir of Robert Llwyd and Joan Pigot. After graduating from Brasenose College he studied medicine and became personal physician to Lord Arundel. He became M.P. for East Grinstead and later Denbigh. He married Barbara, sister and heiress of John, last Lord Lumley. Llwyd is chiefly remembered for being an antiquary and maker of 'Cambriae Typus', one of the earliest maps of Wales. He also advised his brother-in-law Lord Lumley on his book collection, much of which was bought by James I and now forms part of the British Museum Collection. J. Steegman (Portraits in Welsh Houses, Vol. I, 1957, p.242, illus.) records another similar portrait of the sitter in the collection at Rhiwlas, which as exhibited at the National Museum of Wales in 1941. Both pictures would seem to be copies after a lost original.
