Notes: The Herbert family of Troy, near Monmouth, was established by Sir William Herbert, a bastard son of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke of the first creation. This Sir William Herbert was an annuitant of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, and a frequent visitor with his wife and sons of Thornbury Castle, Gloucestershire, where Charles Herbert first appears in 1508. He is next met with in 1524 when with George Whitney of Iccomb, Gloucestershire, he stood surety for James Whitney as receiver of Monmouth for the duchy of Lancaster. In Jul 1533 he himself became deputy to Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester, as duchy steward for Monmouth, and he remained in the duchy's service until he ran into debt towards the end of his life; he also took as his second wife the daughter of a chancellor of the duchy. By the time the valor ecclesiasticus was compiled Herbert held a number of offices with religious houses. After the Union he was one of the leading figures of the newly formed shire and was pricked its first sheriff. In 1544 he went to France for the Boulogne campaign, supplying seven men for the expedition; he was also chosen as the King's standard-bearer at a wage of 10 shillings a day.
The last years of Herbert's life saw his fortunes crumble. Under Edward VI he remained active locally and received a knighthood, but with the advent of Mary his arrears of payments to the duchy caught up with him and in Aug 1554, John Phillip Morgan was put in charge of his office. His indebtedness was the main theme of the will which he made on 23 Apr 1552. BEF providing for his children, wife and mother, he directed his executors to sell his manors of Wonastow and St. Wogan's to meet his arrearages, Wonastow being bought by his brother Thomas. He named as executors Edward Herbert and William Herbert. As the will was not proved until 22 Jan 1558 Herbert survived its making by several years, probably dying shortly before his replacement on 20 Mar 1557 as the duchy's steward for Ebbw.

Notes: BEF the dissolution Thomas Herbert held office in three monasteries in the Welsh marches. In 1545 he and William Breton bought the site and various possessions of one of these, Grace Dieu, for 517 pounds, as well as ex-monastic property in the Fenlands, Herefordshire and London. Although Herbert's public career was confined to Monmouthshire, his two marriages gave him some standing in Warwickshire. After 1550 his position in his own shire was strengthened first by the financial troubles which overtook his eldest brother Charles, on whose death in 1557 he bought the manor of Wonastow, one of two set aside for the payment of debts, and then by the death of the next brother without male issue. It was Charles Herbert whom he succeeded as knight of the shire in Mary's second Parliament. He was to win a contested election in 1559 but thereafter his only contribution to the Commons was the son Henry whom he returned as sheriff in 1572.
