In 1171, in conjunction with Richard Strongbow, Rhys Fitzgerald led an expedition into Ireland, and owing to his achievements there received the name of Maur Rhys, that is "Great Rhys." In the course of time his de- scendants have changed the name into Mau- rise, Maurice and Morris.


William Morris, a descendant of Maur Rhys Fitzgerald, lived in the first half of the seven- teenth century in Monmouthshire, on an estate called Tintern, situated near historic Tintern Abbey. Children: I. Colonel Lewis, inherited Tintern estate; was second in com- mand of Parliamentary troops at the siege of Chepstowe Castle, in 1648, and in memory of his achievements at that time the present crest and motto were added to the family arms.
