Arms of Sir Richard Herbert (d. 1510) of Ewyas, Herefordshire: Herbert (Per pale azure and gules, three lions rampant argent), differenced by a bordure componée gules bezantée and or, to reflect his illegitimacy. The differenced arms were borne by his son William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423–1469) and grandson Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (c. 1539–1601), but the difference was dropped by later earls, who bore Herbert undifferenced[1]

Sir Richard Herbert (died 1510) of Ewyas, Herefordshire, was a Welsh knight, gentleman, landowner, and courtier. He was an illegitimate son of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423–1469), and Maud ap Howell Graunt, a daughter of Adam ap Howell Graunt (Gwynn).[2][3][4] Richard had a full brother named George.[4]

Richard Herbert of Ewyas should not be confused with his uncle, Sir Richard Herbert of Coldbrook.[5]
