The Keep of Coity Castle started by Payn de Turberville

Payn de Turberville (also Payn II de Turberville ) († before 1208) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman.

Payn de Turberville came from the Anglo-Norman family Turberville . He was the eldest son of Gilbert de Turberville and his wife Agnes. Together with his father he testified several documents for Earl William of Gloucester , the Lord of Glamorgan . In 1183 at the latest Payn inherited the rule Coety and other possessions in Glamorgan from his father, and as a vassal of the Earl of Gloucester he was lord of South Molton in Devon . He crushed the Welsh revolt that broke out after the death of William of Gloucester in 1183, and in 1185 he was one of the leaders of a royal army set up to repel Welsh raids on Glamorgan. In addition to Coity Castle , where he probably had the Keep built, he also owned Nolton , Newton and Coychurch in Glamorgan. He was finally able to assert his claim to Newton and Coychurch in court against Walter de Sully , who also made old claims of his family on these properties. However, he had to allow the Sully family to pay half a mark annually from Coychurch's income.

Turberville died between 1202 and 1208 at the latest. His son Gilbert de Turberville became his heir .
