Griffith Ryce

Griffith Ryce

Sir Griffith Ryce (died 1523) was a member of Prince Arthur's household.

On the death of Prince Arthur in 1502, Ryce was a prominent mourner. He accompanied the Prince's body from Ludlow to its final resting place in Worcester. The following contemporary record gives an account of Ryce as he travelled with the "rich chariot" which carried Prince Arthur's body:

"in mourning habit, rode next before the leading horse on a courser trapped with black, bearing the Prince's banner."

During the funeral service for the Prince in Worcester Cathedral, Ryce once again carried Arthur's "rich embroidered banner."

Ryce himself died in 1523 and his tomb is also in Worcester Cathedral.
