"There is talk of the history going back to but no proof of our particular Herbert name linked to the below text"
The Herbert name at the end of the fifteenth century was prominent
in the counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth. In 1542 William Herbert was granted a coat of
arms and crest. The family motto, "ung je serviray" is "One I will Serve". In 1551 he was
created Lord Herbert of Cardiff and Earl of Pembroke. Henry Herbert, the present I?* Earl of
Pembroke and 14th Earl of Montgomery was born in 1939.
Thanks in advance
