Editing Owen Tudor (section)

== Early life ==
The fact that little is known about Tudor's early life and that it has instead become largely mythologized is attributed to his family's part in the Glyndŵr Rising. At various times, it has been said that he was the bastard son of an alehouse keeper, that his father was a fugitive murderer, that he fought at [[Battle of Agincourt|Agincourt]], that he was keeper of Queen Catherine's household or wardrobe, that he was an esquire of Henry V, and that his relationship with Catherine began when he fell into the queen's lap while dancing or caught the queen's eye when swimming. 

The sixteenth-century Welsh chronicler [[Elis Gruffydd]] noted that he was her sewer (someone who places dishes on the table and tastes them<ref>{{cite book|title=Le Morte D'Arthur|page=Glossary Volume 2}}</ref>) and servant. However, it is known that after the Glyndŵr Rising, several Welshmen secured positions at court, and in May 1421, an 'Owen Meredith' joined the retinue of Sir [[Walter Hungerford, 1st Baron Hungerford]], the steward of the king's household from 1415 until 1421.<ref name="ONDB"/>
