One of twelve Knights who accompanied Sir Robert Fitz Hammon to the aid of Jestyn ap Gurgant, king of Glamaorganshire, against Rhese, prince of South Wales, about the year 1090. Once Rhese was dead, however, Fitz Hammon turned his forces against Jestyn and conquered his whole dominion. He divided the land amongst his followers, giving Sir Payn de Turberville the castle and lordship of Coyty. Sir Payn confirmed his right by marrying the heiress of the last possessor of land and castle, a descendent of Jestyn ap Gurgant. He had three sons with her, and was succeeded by the eldest, Sir Simon de Turberville. Sir Simon died without issue, leaving his brother, Sir Gilbert, as heir to both the lordship of Coyty, and of Crûg Howell (now Crickhowell). Sir Gilbert had a son by his wife, Agnes, whom he named Payne. Sir Payne (the younger) had two sons- the eldest, his heir, named Gylbert/Gilbert, and the younger named Ermerod. Sir Gylbert became lord of Coyty Castle, while his brother, Sir Ermerod, became lord of Crûg Howell.

This ancie ===
Turberville, of Coyty Castle
This ancient and knightly family (the most powerful of all the Normans that settled in Glamorganshire) were, previous to their advent int that county, Lords of Crug Howell (now written Crickhowell), in Brecknockshire, which they obtained at the conquest of Brecknock, from Sir Bernard Newmarch, the Norman knight, who, in the early part of William Rufus' reign, entered Brecknockshire, and won the lordship from the then possessor, Bleddyn ap Maenyrch, a Welsh Prince.
Sir Payn de Turberville, was one of the twelve knights who accompanied Sir Robert Fitz Hammon to the aid of Jestin ap Gurgant, king of Glamorgan, against Rhese, prince of South Wales, about the year 1090. Subsequently on the death of Rhese, Fitz Hammon, turning his forces against Jestin, and conquering his whole dominion, divided it amongst his followers. To the share of Sir Payn de Turberville, were allotted the castle and lordship of Coyty, and he confirmed his right by marrying the heiress of the last possessor, a descendant of Jestyn ap Gurgant. Sir Payn had three sons, and was s. by the eldest. [Burkes Commoners IV:652-3]
___________________________
In Wales the descendants of Sir Pain de Turgerville, one of the twelve knights of Robert FitzHamon, continued till the last century. Sir Edward Mansel relates, that when Fitz Hamon had succeeded in wresting Glamorgan from Rhys, Prince of South Wales, and "after eleven of the knights had been endowed with land for their services, Pain Turbervill asked Sir Robert what was his share? to which Sir Robert answered 'Here are men and here are arms; go get it where you can.' So Pain Turbervill with the men went to Coity, and sent to Morgan the Welsh lord to ask whether he would yield up the castle: whereupon Morgan brought out his daughter Sara (Sar or Assar) by the hand, and passing through the army with his sword in his right hand, came to Pain Turberville, and told him if he would marry his daughter, and so come like an honset man into his castle, that he would yield it to him quietly; and 'if not,' he said, 'let not the blood of any of our men be lost, but let this sword and arm of mine, and those of yours, decide which shall call the castle his own.' Upon this, Pain Turbervill drew his sword, and took it by the blade in his left hand, and gave it to Morgan, and with his right hand embraced his daughter; and after settling every matter to the liking of both sides, he went with her to church and married her, and so came the lordship by true right of possession, and, being so counselled by Morgan, kept two thousand of the best of his Welsh soldiers in his castle." Coity (Anglice, wood-house) near Bridgend, was held by eleven generations of his descendants, ending with Sir Richard Turbervill, who leaving no legitimate son to succeed him, settled his property on the son of his sister Catherine, Sir Laurence Berkerolles, Lord of St Athan's. But this nephew likewise had no heir, and died a horrible death in 1412. His wife Maud, the daughter of Sir Thomas Despencer of Caerphilly, was found guilty of having "poisoned him so that he died," and expiated her crime by a frightful penalty. She "was buried alive, agreeable to the sentence pronounced upon her by the country and the lord, Sir Richard Begam, Lord of Glamorgan." Coity passed to the Gamages. [Battle Abbey Roll III:190]
_______________________________
Payn (Paganus) I was apparently granted the lordship of Coity, comprising the manors of Coity Anglia and Coity Wallia, by Robert Fitzhamon. Alone among the Glamorgan lordships it was held on the easy tenure of sergeanty of hunting, probably because of the importance of its strategic position. Payn I was known as 'the Demon' ('Y Cyrthraul"), but nothing is known of the reasons for this derogatory epithet. He only appears as witness to charters in 1126 and 1129. The pleasant story of his marriage to the daughter of the Welsh chieftain of Coity, and the less pleasant story of his giving Fitzhamon a blow that rendered him imbecile, seem to be devoid of historical foundation.
