A
DISCOVERIE
OF
DIVERS
ERRORS

PVBLISHED
IN

ANNO
1594
,
preiudiciall
to
the
discents
and
successions
of
most
of
the
auncient
Nobilitie
of
this
Realme
.
TVtburie
castle
was
built
by
Henry
Lo.
Ferrars
a
Norman
,
THe
Catholike
credite
of
your
great
learning
,
(
which
might
haue
beene
a
clubbe
to
daunt
the
courage
of
vnlettered
Heraulds
,
and
cause
them
to
retire
the
fielde
,
from
encountring
with
you
)
hath
beene
the
drumme
that
hath
summoned
me
out
,
not
as
a
champion
,
but
as
a
defendant
(
by
my
oth
and
profession
)
for
the
triall
of
the
truth
,
and
defence
of
the
vnspotted
honour
of
Armes
,
and
auncient
Nobilitie
.
The
sacred
bodie
of
my
sweete
and
natiue
Countrie
Britannia
,
I
embrace
.
The
phrases
of
your
scholler-like
language
,
I
esteeme
as
gorgeous
ornaments
vpon
a
Matrone
that
is
naturallie
beautifull
:
the
reliques
of
industrious
Leyland
,
together
with
his
farre-fetched
and
deare
bought
Antiquities
,
I
admire
:
almost
I
had
saide
adore
,
but
for
religion
sake
.
Onlie
the
disgrace
of
auncient
Herauldie
:
(
wherwith
England
hath
much
flourished
in
former
age
,
)
the
empeachment
of
manie
illustrious
families
,
the
misreport
of
many
honorable
discents
,
and
the
daungerous
errors
auouched
by
your
lowd-sounding
pen
,
I
must
repeale
and
reuerse
with
a
writ
of
Quo
warranto
,
least
in
time
,
the
countenance
of
your
world-wondred
and
selfe-conceited
knowledge
,
cause
naked
truth
to
be
helde
in
scorne
of
others
,
as
it
is
in
captiuitie
by
your selfe
.
My
humble
requestis
,
that
the
honourable
beholders
of
our
combat
blush
not
,
nor
the
scholasticall
Readers
bite
the
lippe
,
to
see
an
English
Herauld
encounter
with
an
antique
Hercules
.
Let
not
the
fore-running
breath
of
deepe
renowmed
science
blow
vp
the
weight
of
long
experience
:
you
may
enioy
the
reputation
of
Artes
,
but
in
Armes
and
Herauldie
we
except
against
your
skill
.
And
because
I
intend
onely
a
freedome
of
truth
in
matter
of
mine
own
profession
,
you
shal
vnderstand
,
that
I
wil
not
intermeddle
with
any
other
the
commendable
discoueries
of
Antiquitie
,
(
beeing
without
the
lists
and
compasse
of
mine
exception
)
but
onelie
where
the
auncient
pedegrees
of
honourable
families
are
either
clipped
,
or
strange
feathers
imped
into
their
traines
:
there
am
I
bold
to
note
the
defects
,
and
to
declare
the
excesse
that
may
make
a
worthie
progenie
seeme
some
monstrous
ofspring
,
if
the
truth
bee
not
vnfolded
.
What
cause
I
haue
to
vndertake
this
charge
,
may
appeare
by
these
fewe
erronious
slippes
(
gathered
out
of
manie
)
in
your
Britannia
.
In
the
detection
whereof
,
I
haue
not
followed
your
Methode
,
a
long
by
the
Riuers
side
,
from
shire
to
shire
,
and
towne
to
towne
(
for
that
were
a
iourney
too
tedious
,
and
out
of
my
way
)
but
I
haue
fastened
first
vppon
that
noble
Ferrarian
line
,
whose
present
issue
,
so
glorious
at
this
time
,
seemeth
to
commaund
a
redresse
of
that
iniurious
obscuritie
,
wherewith
your
superficiall
skill
,
or
rather
ignorance
,
hath
somewhat
eclipsed
the
former
excellencie
thereof
.
First
therefore
,
I
am
prest
to
encounter
you
at
the
castle
of
Tutburie
,
in
the
honour
of
whose
founders
,
I
am
to
spend
my
first
breath
and
valour
:
to
the
ende
I
may
reuiue
the
race
of
them
which
you
haue
ouerthrowne
,
by
falsifying
and
extinguishing
foure
discents
in
seuen
.
If
you
demaund
how
?
I
answere
,
in
making
Robert
Earle
Ferrars
,
grand-childe
of
Henrie
Lord
Ferrars
the
Norman
,
to
bee
that
Robert
which
did
forfait
all
his
landes
to
king
Henrie
the
third
:
when
in
truth
,
it
was
the
said
Roberts
great
great
grand-child
.
And
therefore
,
to
build
vp
againe
this
honourable
discent
and
succession
of
the
Earles
Ferrars
,
(
which
you
haue
ruinated
)
I
will
first
begin
with
Henry
Lord
Ferrars
the
Norman
,
vnto
whom
(
by
the
booke
of
Domesday
)
William
the
Conquerour
gaue
manie
large
possessions
in
the
counties
of
Stafford
,
Leicester
,
Bedford
,
Glocester
,
Oxford
,
Bucking
and
Barkshire
.
He
had
issue
Robert
Earle
Ferrars
,
who
founded
the
Abbay
of
Muriuall
,
in
king
Henrie
the
first
his
time
,
and
died
the
19.
of
king
Stephen
:
whose
eldest
sonne
William
Earle
Ferrars
,
and
Lord
of
Tutburie
being
slaine
in
his
lodging
in
Lumbards
streete
in
London
,
without
issue
,
Robert
his
second
son
succeeded
,
and
was
Earle
Ferrars
Lord
of
Tutburie
and
Oucam
.
He
kept
the
towne
of
Leicester
for
king
Henrie
the
second
against
the
yong
king
,
and
had
issue
William
Earle
Ferrars
,
and
first
earle
of
Derbie
,
who
maried
Margaret
,
daughter
and
heire
of
William
Peuerell
Lord
of
Nottingham
,
and
died
the
12.
of
Henrie
the
thirde
,
leauing
issue
William
the
second
Earle
Ferrars
and
Derbie
his
sonne
:
who
tooke
to
wife
Agnes
,
the
third
sister
,
and
coheire
of
Ranulph
Earle
of
Chester
and
Lincolne
:
and
died
1242.
vnto
whome
succeeded
the
thirde
William
Earle
Ferrars
,
and
Derbie
,
who
maried
Margaret
daughter
and
coheire
of
Roger
Quincy
earle
of
Winchester
.
On
whom
he
be
got
Robert
Earle
Ferrars
,
and
Derbie
,
who
in
the
fiftie
yeare
of
king
Henrie
the
third
,
was
taken
prisoner
at
the
battell
of
Chesterfield
,
and
imprisoned
in
the
castle
of
Chipenham
:
where
he
for
the
obtaining
of
his
liberty
made
assurance
before
Iohn
Chishall
then
Lord
Chancelor
of
England
,
of
all
his
lands
(
except
Chartley
and
Bolbroke
)
to
Lorde
Henrie

of
the

of
50000.
poundes
on
a
day
,
at
one
entire
paiment
,
to
Lord
Edmond
the
Kings
sonne
.
Which
day
&
paiment
being
broken
,
and
not
performed
,
the
said
Lord
Edmond
,
by
the
surrender
of
the
sureties
aforesaid
,
tooke
possession
of
those
his
lands
,
and
enioyed
the
same
during
his
life
:
and
after
left
them
to
his
heires
,
the
same
being
then
valued
at
two
thousand
pounds
by
the
yeare
.
And
this
is
that
Robert
,
whom
you
verie
vntruly
haue
set
downe
to
be
grand-child
to
Henrie
Lorde
Ferrars
that
liued
in
the
time
of
the
Norman
conquest
,
he
being
the
seuenth
in
line
all
discent
from
him
:
(
as
by
your
owne
words
in
the
title
of
Derby
.
pag.
430.
it
may
appeare
)
where
you
confesse
William
to
be
the
father
,
&
William
the
grandfather
of
this
Robert
,
that
forfeited
his
lands
in
king
Henrie
the
third
his
time
.
Now
,
to
let
you
knowe
the
inconuenience
arising
hereby
:
It
is
the
concealment
and
losse
of
three
most
notable
inheritrices
,
that
were
married
vnto
three
of
these
Ferrarian
Earles
.
The
first
was
the
daughter
and
sole
heire
of
William
Peuerell
,
Lord
of
Nottingham
(
whose
sonne
was
honoured
with
the
title
of
earle
of
Notingham
.
)
The
second
was
the
sister
,
and
coheire
of
Ranulph
Earle
of
Chester
and
Lincolne
,
who
inriched
this
familie
with
the
Castle
and
honour
of
Chartley.
The
third
being
the
daughter
and
coheire
of
Roger
Quincy
Earle
of
Winchester
,
who
brought
with
her
the
honor
and
barony
of
Grooby
.
Of
which
fruitfull
mariages
,
if
you
make
a
fained
nullitie
,
or
deuorce
,
you
intercept
those
noble
plants
,
from
whence
sprung
sundry
the
most
famous
branches
of
our
nobilitie
,
florishing
in
this
our
declining
age
.
CHartley
Castle
builded
by
Ranulph
earle
of
Chester
,
came
to
WHere
you
affirme
in
this
place
,
Ranulph
Earle
of
Chester
to
haue
builded
the
Castle
of
Chartley
,
which
after
came
to
be
the
possession
of
Robert
earle
Ferrars
and
Derby
,
by
marying
Agnes
the
daughter
of
the
foresaide
Ranulph
:
and
that
there
did
discend
of
the
said
Robert
&
Agnes
seuen
barons
in
direct
line
successiuely
:
hereto
I
answere
,
that
Ranulph
Earle
of
Chester
builded
indeed
the
castle
of
Chartley
,
in
the
fourth
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
third
,
&
died
An.
1236.
But
that
he
was
father
to
the
said
Agnes
,
I
vtterlie
denie
:
affirming
him
to
die
without
any
issue
at
all
.
And
for
proofe
hereof
,
I
appeale
to
your self
,
in
perfect
remembrance
,
testifying
the
same
against
your selfe
,
in
the
title
of
Earles
of
Chester
,
Pag.
471.
And
for
the
foresaid
Robert
Earle
Ferrars
,
he
neuer
maried
any
such
woman
.
So
that
by
this
your
not
vnderstanding
,
you
haue
obscured
and
made
vnperfect
that
noble
line
of
the
Earle
Ferrars
.
Nay
you
haue
done
them
a
farre
greater
wrong
,
for
hereby
haue
you
(
contrarie
to
all
law
and
reason
)
made
the
said
Agnes
to
be
daughter
to
her
owne
brother
,
and
the
said
Robert
to
be
husband
vnto
her
that
was
his
grandfathers
wife
.
By
which
vntrue
wresting
,
you
haue
thrust
out
of
their
places
,
not
only
two
of
the
greatest
Earles
of
their
time
,
but
also
the
coheire
of
Quincy
,
who
(
as
before
I
saide
)
brought
into
that
family
the
barony
of
Grooby
.
Therfore
that
you
may
reforme
this
your
error
,
I
will
here
set
you
down
the
truth
of
this
discent
,
prooued
by
good
authoritie
,
beginning
first
with
William
Earle
Ferrars
and
Derby
,
grandfather
of
the
said
Earle
Robert
,
who
maried
the
forenamed
Agnes
,
the
third
sister
,
and
coheire
of
the
forenamed
Ranulph
Earle
of
Chester
and
Lincolne
,
(
and
not
his
daughter
,
as
you
haue
written
.
)
This
saide
William
died
in
the
27.
yeare
of
king
Henrie
the
thirde
,
and
left
issue
William
Earle
Ferrars
,
and
Derbie
,
his
sonne
,
Lord
of
Chartley
,
who
maryed
with
Margaret
Ladye
of
Grooby
,
daughter
and
coheire
of
Roger
Quincy
Earle
of
Winchester
,
on
whome
he
begot
Robert
Earle
Ferrars
and
Derby
,
and
after
died
in
the
38.
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
third
.
Which
Robert
was
he
that
you
would
haue
to
mary
Agnes
the
daughter
of
Ranulph
Earle
of
Chester
,
who
was
in
trueth
his
grandmother
.
But
for
your
further
satisfaction
,
vnderstand
,
that
the
said
Robert
maryed
to
his
wife
the
daughter
of
the
Lord
Basset
,
and
was
taken
prisoner
soone
after
by
King
Henry
the
third
,
in
the
Barrons
warres
,
and
forced
to
paye
at
one
entyre
payment
for
his
ransome
,
&
deliuery
,
to
Lord
Edmond
the
Kings
sonne
,
the
summe
of
fiftie
thousand
poundes
:
for
the
assurance
of
which
payment
he
bound
ouer
all
his
landes
:
as
before
in
the
title
of
Tutbury
I
haue
set
downe
.
He
died
in
the
seuenth
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
1278.

IN
making
Reignald
Earle
of
Cornewall
to
dye
without
issue
,
you
offer
great
iniurie
to
diuers
worshipfull
families
,
depriuing
them
of
their
Auncestor
from
whome
they
are
discended
.
For
the
said
Reignald
had
issue
three
daughters
,
his
heires
:
one
maryed
to
Baldwin
Riduerse
Earle
of
Deuon
,
of
whome
discended
the
honorable
families
of
Courtneys
:
and
an
other
to
Valitort
,
of
whose
issue
many
remaine
at
this
present
.
KIng
Richard
the
second
honored
William
le
Scroope
,
first
,
ALthough
your
rash
,
and
ouer
hastie
penne
,
haue
seemed
vnto
you
so
priuileged
,
as
that
thereby
you
durst
aduenture
the
preiudice
of
many
honorable
persons
in
their
discents
and
ensignes
of
honor
(
as
you
haue
done
)
yet
me
thinkes
that
her
Maiesties
sacred
name
might
iustly
haue
lymited
your
writings
within
such
boundes
of
loyall
duetie
,
as
that
your
hand
should
haue
trembled
to
endite
,
or
your
hart
once
to
admitte
the
publishing
any
vntrueth
,
whereby
her
honor
might
in
any
part
be
eclipsed
.
Heere
you
say
,
that
Iames
Butler
Earle
of
Wiltshire
had
a
grand-childe
(
by
his
namelesse
sonne
)
which
was
mother
vnto
Thomas
Bullen
Earle
of
Wiltshire
,
graund-father
to
the
Queenes
most
excellent
Maiestie
that
now
is
:
in
which
you
greatly
wrong
her
,
she
being
not
discended
of
the
said
Iames
,
but
of
Thomas
Butler
Earle
of
Ormond
his
brother
.
And
the
better
to
manifest
the
same
,
the
said
Iames
was
atteinted
by
Acte
of
Parliament
,
for
high
treason
,
&
suffered
for
the
same
at
New-castle
,
in
the
first
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
fourth
,
without
any
issue
of
his
body
at
all
to
beget
such
a
grand-child
,
as
you
say
,
was
the
mother
to
Sir
Thomas
Bullen
.
Which
being
true
(
as
it
cannot
be
denyed
)
I
admire
that
a
man
of
your
learning
,
and
professing
such
skill
in
Heraldy
,
would
so
vnaduisedly
publish
in
print
,
to
the
view
of
the
whole
worlde
,
so
great
an
vntrueth
,
you
hauing
neither
proofe
,
nor
warrant
for
the
same
.
And
not
contented
herewith
,
after
,
for
maintenance
and
colour
of
these
your
errors
,
you
further
affirme
,
that
the
said
Sir
Thomas
Bullen
was
created
Earle
of
Wiltshire
in
right
of
Margaret
his
mother
,
graund-childe
(
as
you
say
)
of
the
said
Iames.
In
which
so
saying
,
you
shewe
your selfe
very
ignorant
in
the
discents
of
dignities
.
And
for
answere
hereunto
:
First
I
say
,
that
Margaret
the
mother
of
Sir
Thomas
Bullen
was
second
daughter
and
coheire
of
Thomas
Butler
Earle
of
Ormond
,
brother
of
Iames
Earle
of
Wiltshire
,
and
not
the
saide
Iames
his
grand-childe
:
and
so
in
that
poynt
,
haue
you
falsified
this
discent
.
Secondly
,
where
you
would
haue
this
dignitie
of
Wiltshire
to
discend
to
Thomas
Bullen
in
right
of
his
mother
,
that
doe
I
also
denye
:
and
for
proofe
thereof
say
,
that
the
said
Iames
,
being
both
the
first
and
last
Earle
of
Wiltshire
of
that
surname
,
did
by
his
attainture
forfaite
the
same
to
king
Edward
the
fourth
:
by
reason
whereof
,
the
said
honor
reuerted
to
the
crowne
,
and
there
remained
vntill
king
Henry
the
eight
,
of
his
meere
grace
and
great
fauour
,
did
bestowe
the
same
vpon
Sir
Thomas
Bullen
,
grandfather
to
our
most
gracious
soueraigne
lady
Queene
Elizabeth
.
And
thus
was
Sir
Thomas
Bullen
aduaunced
to
this
dignitie
,
and
not
as
in
any
right
discended
to
him
from
Iames
Butler
Earle
of
Wiltshire
,
from
whome
he
did
not
discend
.
TOtnes
,
the
auncient
possessions
of
Iudeall
,
surnamed
de
Totnes
:
TO
that
part
where
you
affirme
,
George
Lord
Cantelup
of
Abergaueny
to
haue
issue
a
daughter
and
heire
maryed
vnto
the
Baron
Zouch
:
I
answere
,
that
the
said
George
had
no
daughter
at
all
,
but
dyed
without
issue
:
as
by
his
office
taken
after
his
death
,
in
the
first
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
it
doth
plainely
appeare
:
and
therefore
haue
you
greatly
erred
,
in
making
him
to
haue
issue
a
daughter
.
IN
the
time
of
king
Richard
the
second
,
Torbay
was
the
seate
of
IT
seemeth
vnto
me
very
strange
,
that
you
will
affirme
Torbay
to
be
the
Seate
and
habitation
of
the
honorable
familie
of
Briwers
,
in
the
time
of
king
Richard
the
second
,
when
as
you
are
not
able
to
proue
any
of
that
surname
to
liue
in
almost
an
hundreth
and
fiftie
yeares
before
:
for
William
Briwer
,
the
last
of
that
progeny
,
dyed
without
issue
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
raigne
of
king
Iohn
,
leauing
his
fiue
sisters
his
heires
,
of
whome
are
discended
many
of
our
Nobilitie
now
liuing
.
HAccombe
was
in
times
past
the
Mansion
of
Iurdan
Fitz-Stephens
HAccombe
was
neuer
the
Mansion
or
possession
of
Fitz-Stephens
:
but
alwayes
the
seate
and
inheritance
of
the
familie
of
Haccombs
,
and
did
continewe
in
that
surname
vntill
their
heire
generall
was
maryed
to
Archdeacon
.
And
for
proofe
that
these
were
two
seuerall
families
:
Haccombes
bare
for
their
Armes
,
argent
three
Bends
sables
:
Fitz-Stephens
was
an
other
familie
,
alwayes
seated
at
Norton
in
the
countie
of
Deuon
,
and
neuer
at
Haccombe
,
and
did
beare
for
their
Armes
,
gules
an
Eagle
displayed
golde
.
But
because
I
see
you
are
at
a
stand
,
I
will
heere
helpe
you
with
an
excuse
,
giuing
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
about
the
reigne
of
king
Edward
the
second
,
there
was
one
Stephen
de
Haccombe
,
who
dwelling
at
Haccombe
,
had
a
sonne
named
Waren
(
which
happily
might
be
called
Waren
filius
Stephani
de
Haccombe
)
And
so
I
thinke
,
that
worshipfull
familie
of
Carewes
will
confesse
:
to
whose
iudgement
I
referre
my selfe
in
this
point
,
and
you
to
be
corrected
:
as
also
to
say
whither
Nicholas
Baron
Carewe
did
euer
marye
with
Iane
,
the
daughter
and
sole
heyre
of
Peter
Courtney
.
Which
Peter
(
by
my
bookes
)
as
yet
had
neuer
other
father
then
your selfe
.
EXceter
had
three
Dukes
,
vidz
.
Iohn
Holland
Earle
of
Huntingdon
,
IN
this
place
haue
you
committed
a
dangerous
error
,
to
the
hazard
of
disinheriting
many
honorable
families
,
by
publishing
in
print
,
that
Henry
Holland
duke
of
Exceter
,
had
issue
one
sole
daughter
and
heire
,
maryed
to
the
familie
of
Neuills
:
when
as
it
is
manifest
,
that
after
his
depriuation
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
the
first
of
Edw.
the
fourth
,
he
was
found
drowned
in
the
sea
,
the
12.
yeare
of
the
said
kings
reigne
,
without
any
issue
:
and
therefore
,
no
such
daughter
of
his
could
be
maryed
to
Neuil
(
as
you
affirme
.
)
And
that
you
may
the
better
knowe
the
said
Henry
Holland
,
as
also
his
coate
of
armes
,
I
wish
you
to
see
his
tumbe
,
where
he
lyeth
buryed
in
the
South-side
of
Saint
Peters
Church
at
Westminster
,
which
you
haue
heretofore
auouched
to
be
the
tumbe
of
Iohn
of
Eltham
Earle
of
Cornewall
.
But
if
you
will
take
good
viewe
thereof
,
you
shall
finde
him
that
lyeth
thereon
,
to
weare
on
his
head
a
Dukes
crowne
(
no
fit
ornament
for
Iohn
of
Eltham
,
being
but
an
Earle
)
and
to
beare
in
his
shielde
the
armes
of
England
within
a
border
of
Fraunce
.
The
which
shielde
and
armes
to
be
the
said
Henry
Hollands
,
it
doth
appeare
by
diuers
his
deedes
yet
extant
,
with
their
seales
affixed
to
the
same
.
WIscombe
appertained
to
William
Baron
Bonuill
,
who
HEre
you
make
William
Lord
Bonuile
,
that
maryed
the
daughter
and
heire
of
the
Lord
Harington
,
to
dye
without
issue
male
,
leauing
one
sole
daughter
maryed
to
Graye
Marquis
Dorcet
,
when
as
in
trueth
the
said
William
had
issue
a
sonne
,
that
succeeded
him
in
his
dignitie
,
and
no
daughter
at
all
.
And
if
you
would
knowe
his
name
,
I
answere
William
,
who
caryed
both
the
title
of
Lord
Bonuile
and
Harington
,
and
had
to
wife
Katherine
,
daughter
to
Richard
Neuill
Earle
of
Salisburie
,
by
whome
he
had
issue
Cecilie
his
daughter
and
sole
heire
,
maryed
to
Thomas
Gray
Marquis
Dorcet
.
Which
Cecilie
you
would
haue
to
be
sister
to
her
father
,
and
daughter
to
her
grandfather
:
by
which
mistaking
the
father
for
the
sonne
,
and
the
sonne
for
the
father
,
you
haue
obscured
,
and
made
vnperfect
this
discent
of
the
Lord
Bonuills
,
of
whome
many
honorable
families
at
this
day
are
discended
.
BAldwin
Riuers
was
by
king
Henry
the
first
,
made
Lorde
of
HEre
doe
you
wrong
this
discent
of
the
Earles
of
Deuonshire
,
making
Baldwin
Ryuers
to
be
the
first
Earle
of
Deuonshire
,
and
Lord
of
Twyfferton
and
Plympton
,
in
king
Henry
the
first
his
time
:
when
as
it
is
very
manifest
,
that
Richard
Ryuers
,
father
of
this
Baldwin
was
the
same
person
vnto
whome
king
Henry
the
first
gaue
Twifferton
,
Plimpton
,
and
the
yle
of
Wight
,
with
the
Earledome
of
Deuonshire
,
and
not
to
Baldwin
his
sonne
(
whome
you
name
:
)
as
is
very
well
prooued
by
the
booke
of
Brightley
and
Forde
,
where
those
of
that
familie
doe
lye
buryed
,
as
also
by
your
owne
Testimonie
against
your selfe
,
in
the
tittle
of
Iles
,
in
your
booke
,
Pag.
710.
Secondly
,
to
your
affirmation
,
that
Baldwin
the
third
Earle
of
Deuon
did
change
his
Auncestors
Escucheon
gules
a
griffon
gold
,
vnto
a
shield
golde
a
Lyon
azure
:
I
answere
,
it
is
a
fault
in
a
meane
person
to
be
founde
vntrue
in
his
reportes
,
much
more
in
you
to
publish
in
print
such
an
vntrueth
as
this
:
for
you
can
not
euer
prooue
the
said
shielde
gules
with
the
griffon
golde
to
haue
bene
borne
or
vsed
by
any
of
the
said
familie
:
or
any
other
Armes
at
all
of
theirs
can
you
shewe
,
vntill
that
Baldwin
the
third
did
vse
for
his
Armes
the
foresaid
Lyon
azure
vpon
golde
.
Thirdly
,
because
in
the
beginnning
of
this
succession
of
Earles
of
Deuon
you
abridged
vs
of
the
first
,
now
to
make
amendes
for
the
same
,
and
to
fill
vp
the
number
againe
,
you
doe
here
name
for
an
Earle
of
Deuon
,
William
de
Fortibus
,
who
neuer
as
yet
attayned
vnto
that
dignitie
.
And
therefore
,
no
reason
why
you
should
thus
adde
or
substracte
,
to
,
or
from
noble
persons
dignities
at
your
pleasure
.
But
here
peraduenture
yee
will
say
,
Isabel
the
wife
of
the
aforenamed
William
de
Fortibus
,
did
in
her
widowhood
write
her selfe
Countesse
of
Albermale
,
and
Deuon
,
and
Lady
of
the
Ile
:
which
if
I
graunt
vnto
,
that
she
did
,
it
was
in
respect
that
she
was
the
onely
heire
then
left
aliue
of
that
honorable
familie
:
and
yet
will
not
that
make
a
necessitie
,
that
her
husband
must
be
Earle
of
Deuon
.
THe
Barony
of
Stoke-Curcy
was
so
named
of
the
Lordes
YOur
errors
here
committted
are
these
:
first
,
you
make
William
de
Curcy
,
that
was
Sewer
to
K.
Henry
the
first
,
to
haue
issue
a
sonne
named
William
:
which
is
vntrue
,
for
that
he
dyed
without
issue
,
and
left
Robert
de
Curcy
his
brother
his
heire
.
Secondly
,
you
say
,
the
said
William
de
Curcy
had
a
grand-childe
by
his
sonne
William
,
called
Auice
,
maryed
to
Warrin
Fitz-Gerald
,
who
had
issue
a
daughter
and
heire
maryed
to
Baldwin
Earle
of
Deuon
.
In
which
you
are
also
deceiued
:
For
,
the
first
William
(
as
I
saide
before
)
had
not
any
issue
at
all
,
and
therefore
no
such
grand-childe
.
And
where
you
affirme
the
said
Warin
Fitz-Gerald
to
haue
issue
by
Auice
his
wife
but
one
onely
daughter
:
it
is
manifest
that
he
had
issue
a
sonne
named
Warin
Fitz-Gerald
,
who
had
issue
the
third
Warin
Fitz-Gerald
.
But
for
your
better
instruction
herein
,
and
to
correct
this
your
errour
,
I
will
set
you
downe
the
truth
of
this
discent
,
as
followeth
:
Robert
de
Curcy
,
a
great
Baron
and
Councellour
vnto
William
Rufus
,
had
issue
two
sonnes
,
William
and
Robert
.
William
the
eldest
sonne
dying
without
issue
,
Robert
his
brother
succeded
him
in
his
dignitie
,
and
was
a
witnesse
to
the
Charter
of
king
Stephen
,
of
landes
that
hee
gaue
to
the
Abbay
of
Westminster
,
by
the
name
of
Robert
de
Curcy
the
kings
Sewer
.
After
whose
death
,
Robert
de
Curcy
his
eldest
sonne
,
Sewer
to
king
Henry
the
second
,
being
slaine
in
Ireland
without
anie
issue
,
William
the
seconde
sonne
succeeded
,
and
was
a
witnesse
to
the
Charter
of
king
Henrie
the
second
,
of
landes
and
liberties
that
he
gaue
to
Saint
Peters
at
Westminster
.
He
had
issue
Iohn
de
Curcy
gouernour
of
Vlster
in
Ireland
,
in
the
time
of
king
Iohn
,
who
hauing
no
issue
,
left
his
rich
patrimonie
to
Alice
(
or
Auice
)
his
sister
,
then
the
wife
of
Warin
Fitz-Gerald
:
which
Warin
was
a
witnesse
to
the
Charter
of
king
Iohn
,
of
his
submission
to
the
Pope
,
1212.
Hee
had
issue
by
his
said
wife
,
the
second
Warin
Fitz-Gerald
,
Lord
of
Harewood
,
father
to
the
third
Warin
.
THe
greatest
glorie
of
Bridgewater
was
,
that
king
Henrie
the
IF
the
making
of
Gentlemen
heretofore
hath
beene
greatly
misliked
by
her
Maiestie
in
the
kinges
of
Armes
,
much
more
displeasing
(
I
thinke
)
it
will
be
to
her
,
that
you
being
no
Officer
of
Armes
,
should
erect
,
make
,
and
put
downe
Earles
and
Barons
at
your
pleasure
,
publishing
in
print
falslie
their
admittance
or
depriuation
:
as
in
this
place
you
haue
done
,
making
Giles
Dawbeney
to
be
created
Earle
of
Bridgewater
by
King
Henrie
the
seuenth
,
when
as
the
said
King
neuer
aduaunced
him
nor
any
other
to
that
dignitie
,
neither
was
the
said
Giles
euer
anie
Earle
during
his
life
.
And
therefore
here
haue
you
no
great
cause
to
boast
of
your
skill
in
Heraldie
.
But
,
to
pleasure
you
,
I
will
bring
you
to
the
marke
whereat
your
vnaduised
penne
hath
roued
,
which
is
to
Henrie
Dawbeney
,
whome
king
Henrie
the
eight
on
the
21.
day
of
Iulie
,
in
the
30.
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
did
at
his
Mannor
of
Ocking
create
Earle
of
Bridgewater
:
which
Henry
was
both
the
first
and
last
that
euer
caried
that
title
of
dignitie
,
and
died
without
issue
.
All
which
I
hope
you
will
confesse
to
bee
true
,
and
acknowledge
your
fault
.
HVngerford
was
a
familie
of
great
account
euer
since
the
time
YOur
fault
committed
here
,
is
far
greater
then
that
before
in
the
title
of
Bridgewater
:
for
in
that
you
added
a
supposed
earle
that
neuer
was
:
&
from
this
discent
of
Hungerford
you
haue
subtracted
a
Baron
that
was
,
in
making
Robert
Lord
Hungerford
,
who
maried
the
daughter
and
heire
of
the
Lord
Mollins
,
to
be
son
of
Walter
lord
Hungerford
(
that
was
Treasorer
to
King
Henrie
the
sixt
)
and
father
to
Thomas
which
was
slaine
at
Salisburie
.
In
which
you
are
greatly
deceiued
:
for
that
Robert
,
who
(
you
say
)
maried
the
daughter
of
Lorde
Mollins
,
was
grand-childe
to
Walter
,
and
sonne
to
Robert
Lord
Hungerford
and
Margaret
the
daughter
and
heire
of
William
Lord
Botreaux
.
By
which
your
errour
you
haue
not
onely
thrust
quite
out
of
this
discent
,
Robert
the
true
sonne
of
the
foresaide
Walter
,
but
his
wife
also
the
heire
of
the
Lord
Botreaux
:
to
the
great
preiudice
of
the
now
Earle
of
Huntingdon
,
who
is
heire
generall
both
to
the
said
Lord
Robert
,
and
Margaret
his
wife
.
And
for
your
better
satisfaction
,
that
there
were
two
Roberts
,
the
father
and
sonne
,
betwixt
Walter
that
was
Treasorer
to
king
Henrie
the
sixt
,
and
Thomas
that
was
slaine
at
Salisburie
,
looke
into
the
Parliament
holden
at
Westminster
,
in
the
29.
yeare
of
king
Henrie
the
sixt
,
and
there
shall
you
find
both
the
said
Roberts
,
the
father
by
the
name
of
Robert
Lord
Hungerford
the
elder
,
and
the
son
by
the
name
of
Robert
Lord
Mollins
.
PHilibert
de
Chandew
a
Bretaigne
,
borne
in
France
,
was
by
WHat
your
meaning
is
,
by
so
often
falsifying
the
petigrees
and
discents
of
the
Nobilitie
,
I
know
not
:
but
wish
there
were
some
good
order
taken
in
time
for
reformation
of
the
same
,
least
these
and
other
like
vntruths
bee
receiued
generally
for
infallible
verities
,
to
the
disparagement
of
noble
families
,
as
well
in
their
fame
,
as
right
of
inheritance
.
And
especially
would
I
desire
,
your selfe
being
famous
for
learning
(
which
you
acknowledge
)
through
all
the
prouinces
of
Christendom
,
to
recant
such
erroneous
fallacies
:
that
the
worlde
may
perceiue
in
your
great
learning
,
a
spirit
of
singlenesse
,
not
obstinately
resting
in
the
loue
of
your
selfconceited
opinion
,
but
willingly
subscribing
to
the
cleare
shining
truth
:
which
truth
hath
vncharged
the
noble
succession
of
honorable
houses
,
from
the
mist
of
your
ignorant
coniectures
,
by
the
meanes
of
vs
contemned
Heraulds
.
And
now
to
manifest
your
errour
committed
in
this
succession
of
Earles
of
Bath
,
I
affirme
you
haue
thereunto
added
an
Earle
,
who
neuer
had
other
father
then
your selfe
.
If
you
demaunde
his
name
,
I
answere
Iohn
,
whom
you
make
to
bee
sonne
to
Iohn
the
first
Earle
of
Bathe
,
and
grandfather
to
William
that
now
liueth
.
But
that
you
may
the
better
amend
this
your
rash
and
vnaduised
writing
,
I
will
set
you
downe
the
truth
of
this
discent
,
beginning
with
Iohn
Bourchier
Lord
Fitz-Warrin
,
whom
king
H.
8.
on
the
9.
day
of
Iulie
,
1536.
created
Earle
of
Bathe
.
He
had
issue
Iohn
Lord
Fitz-Warin
,
that
died
before
his
father
at
Hengraue
in
Suffolke
.
1560.
leauing
issue
William
nowe
Earle
of
Bath
:
to
whose
honourable
iudgement
I
submit
my self
,
to
say
whether
he
had
any
such
grandfather
.
KIng
Henrie
the
second
,
and
Robert
the
sonne
of
Harding
,
IN
this
title
of
Berkley
,
you
make
Morice
the
sonne
of
Robert
Fitz-Harding
to
be
sonne
to
his
owne
wife
,
and
the
said
Robert
to
marrie
his
sonnes
wife
:
which
vnnaturall
mariages
,
though
well
liked
of
by
your selfe
,
yet
neuer
knowne
nor
allowed
of
by
any
others
.
And
where
you
affirme
Robert
Fitz-Harding
to
marrie
the
onely
daughter
and
heire
of
the
Lord
Berkeley
:
therein
will
you
faile
of
your
proofe
:
for
Roger
Lord
Berkeley
of
Dursley
(
whome
you
meane
)
had
issue
a
sonne
,
of
whom
are
discended
manie
liuing
at
this
present
.
But
,
that
you
may
both
knowe
and
confesse
yout
fault
,
I
will
set
you
downe
againe
the
true
discent
hereof
,
with
my
authoritie
for
the
same
:
beginning
first
with
Harding
the
Dane
,
who
(
by
the
Booke
of
Domesday
)
in
the
20.
yeare
of
William
the
Conquerour
,
helde
of
Brictric
,
in
morgage
,
the
Mannor
of
Witenhort
,
in
the
Countie
of
Glocester
.
He
had
issue
Robert
Fitz-Harding
,
who
founded
the
Abbay
of
Saint
Augustines
,
and
the
hospitall
of
Saint
Iohns
in
Bristow
,
1135.
and
maried
one
Eua
:
by
whom
he
had
issue
Morice
Fitz-Robert
,
who
tooke
to
wife
Alice
the
daughter
of
Roger
Berkley
Lord
of
Dursley
:
as
doth
appeare
by
the
said
Rogers
deede
,
made
in
the
sixt
yeare
of
the
reigne
of
King
Stephen
,
where
hee
giueth
vnto
the
saide
Morice
Fitz-Robert
,
in
franke
mariage
,
with
Alice
his
daughter
,
the
Mannor
of
Slimbridge
,
in
the
Countie
of
Glocester
.
And
this
I
hope
will
bee
sufficient
to
make
a
deuorce
of
this
your
forenamed
vnlawfull
and
vnnaturall
mariage
.
WAlter
d'Eureux
,
Earle
of
Rosmar
in
Normandie
,
had
THe
more
plainlie
to
decipher
your
errours
in
this
title
of
Salisburie
,
I
will
first
beginne
with
Edwarde
d'Eureux
,
whom
I
finde
to
liue
in
the
21.
yeare
of
King
William
the
Conquerour
,
and
to
bee
a
witnesse
to
the
said
kings
Charter
touching
the
foundation
of
the
Abbay
of
Selbie
,
by
the
name
of
Edward
Earle
of
Salisburie
.
Which
proueth
,
that
Patrike
his
grand-childe
was
not
then
the
first
Earle
of
Salisburie
,
of
that
familie
(
as
you
affirme
.
)
Secondly
,
where
you
hold
for
a
certaintie
,
that
Walter
the
sonne
of
Edward
aforesaid
(
before
his
monasticall
profession
)
left
issue
to
succeede
him
,
Patrike
his
sonne
.
To
that
I
answere
,
that
Sybill
his
wife
,
after
the
death
of
the
said
Walter
her
husband
,
took
vpon
her
the
habit
of
a
Nunne
,
and
hauing
continued
in
that
estate
but
one
moneth
,
&
perceiuing
her selfe
to
be
with
child
,
forsooke
that
order
again
,
and
afterwards
was
deliuered
of
a
son
,
which
was
named
Patrike
,
who
was
after
steward
to
Maude
the
Empresse
:
by
whose
meanes
king
Henry
the
second
,
in
the
28.
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
confirmed
vnto
the
said
Patrike
the
earledom
of
Salisburie
.
Thirdly
,
concerning
your
affirmation
,
that
William
sonne
of
the
said
Patrike
had
but
one
only
daughter
named
Ella
,
maried
to
William
Longa-Spatha
,
who
in
her
right
was
Earle
of
Salisbury
,
and
did
beare
her
Armes
.
To
this
I
say
,
you
do
hereby
greatly
preiudice
the
honorable
familie
of
Howards
:
for
,
the
said
William
had
not
onely
two
sonnes
,
but
also
two
daughters
(
as
appeareth
by
the
booke
of
Bermondsey
in
Southwarke
)
viz.
Patrike
,
William
,
Mabell
,
and
Ella
.
Mabell
was
maried
to
Nigell
Lord
Mowbray
,
of
whom
all
the
Howards
,
with
many
others
are
discended
:
Ella
was
maried
vnto
William
Longa-Spatha
,
base
sonne
to
Henrie
the
second
,
who
afterward
by
the
speciall
fauour
of
King
Richard
the
first
,
in
the
9.
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
was
made
Earle
of
Salisburie
:
and
not
in
right
of
his
wife
(
as
you
would
haue
it
.
)
And
where
you
say
,
the
said
William
Longa-Spatha
and
Ella
had
issue
William
,
who
succeeded
his
father
in
that
dignitie
,
and
left
issue
the
third
William
,
which
lost
that
Earledome
through
displeasure
of
King
Henrie
the
third
.
I
answere
,
that
I
maruaile
howe
you
can
inuent
two
so
great
vntruths
,
as
,
first
to
affirme
these
two
last
Williams
to
be
Earles
of
Salisburie
,
when
neither
of
them
both
were
euer
Earles
,
either
of
that
or
anie
other
place
.
And
that
the
saide
William
did
vse
or
beare
the
Armes
of
his
wife
,
I
take
it
,
you
haue
no
other
proofe
for
the
same
then
your
owne
bare
imagination
:
which
with
you
is
verie
great
.
Lastly
,
where
you
affirme
Henrie
Lacie
to
bee
Earle
of
Salisburie
,
in
right
of
his
wife
,
the
daughter
and
heire
of
the
last
William
Longa-Spatha
:
I
say
that
neither
hee
the
saide
Henrie
,
nor
any
other
of
his
Surname
were
euer
at
anie
time
honoured
with
that
title
or
Earledome
.
And
nowe
,
to
manifest
the
mariage
of
the
Lorde
Nigell
de
Mowbray
with
Mabell
daughter
of
William
Fitz-Patrike
,
I
will
set
you
downe
for
proofe
,
the
said
Nigels
deed
,
which
is
as
followeth
.
SCiant
presentes
&
futuri
,
quod
ego
Nigellus
dominus
de
Mowbray
,
dedi
&
concessi
,
&c.
Know
ye
,
that
I
Nigell
Lord
Mowbraw
,
haue
giuen
and
confirmed
,
from
my
Mannor
of
Bensted
in
Surrey
(
which
I
had
in
mariage
with
Mabell
my
wife
,
heire
of
William
Fitz-Patrike
)
the
Church
of
Bensted
,
to
the
canons
of
Southwarke
,
in
whose
possession
I
found
the
said
Church
,
confirmed
by
Richard
Bishop
of
Winton
,
&c.
TOuching
the
Earles
of
Winchester
(
as
our
Herauldes
report
)
WHom
you
vnderstand
by
the
terme
of
our
Heralds
,
I
knowe
not
:
my selfe
being
one
of
her
Maiesties
Heralds
,
do
approue
for
truth
that
Seer
de
Quincy
was
Earle
of
Winchester
,
and
did
vse
in
his
shield
for
his
Armes
,
a
Fesse
,
and
a
Labell
of
13.
points
,
and
not
of
5.
(
as
you
misreport
to
haue
seene
in
his
seales
.
And
,
to
proue
my
assertion
true
,
I
haue
diuerse
deedes
with
the
Seales
of
the
saide
Quincies
in
my
custody
,
made
aswell
in
the
reigne
of
king
Richard
the
first
,
as
in
the
times
of
king
Iohn
,
and
Henry
the
third
.
As
for
Hugh
Spencer
,
he
was
made
Earle
of
Winchester
,
&
high
Treasurer
of
England
in
the
15.
yeare
of
King
Edwarde
the
second
,
and
in
the
19.
yeare
of
the
said
kings
reigne
hee
was
executed
at
Bristow
by
Queene
Isabell
:
so
that
the
dignitie
ceased
in
himselfe
,
and
not
in
his
sonne
(
as
you
affirme
)
who
neuer
had
,
or
was
possessed
of
that
dignitie
.
Lastly
,
where
you
say
,
that
King
Edward
the
fourth
did
giue
to
Lewes
of
Bruges
the
Earledome
of
Winchester
,
with
the
Armes
of
Quincies
:
I
answere
,
you
haue
not
onelie
misreported
the
same
:
but
also
shewed
your selfe
to
be
very
ignorant
in
matters
of
Armes
,
for
those
Armes
giuen
by
Edward
the
fourth
to
Lewes
of
Bruges
,
were
neither
the
armes
of
Quincies
,
nor
any
thing
at
all
resembling
the
same
.
And
for
proofe
hereof
,
I
pray
you
let
vs
a
little
compare
them
both
togither
:
first
the
armes
giuen
by
K.
Ed.
4.
to
the
said
Lewes
were
,
Azur
ten
mascles
gold
:
the
armes
of
Quincies
were
,
Gules
7.
masclesgold
:
Bruges
did
beare
in
his
armes
a
canton
Gules
charged
with
a
Lion
passant
gardant
of
the
second
:
Quincy
had
neither
Canton
nor
Lion
in
his
Armes
.
So
that
here
is
neither
colour
nor
charge
,
to
induce
a
man
of
any
iudgement
or
knowledge
,
to
thinke
or
say
,
that
this
gift
of
Edward
the
fourth
was
the
Armes
of
Quincy
.
And
for
better
proofe
hereof
,
I
will
here
insert
the
wordes
of
king
Edwardes
graunt
,
concerning
the
gift
of
the
said
Armes

your selfe

And
that
you
are
meerely
ignorant
in
matter
of
Armorie
,
I
thinke
there
needeth
no
further
proofe
then
your
owne
writing
,
touching
the
Armes
of
Bygot
Earle
of
Norfolke
,
Longa-spatha
Earle
of

,

,
and

,
both
Earles
of

,
all
in
this
booke
mentioned
:
as
also
this
of
Arundell
,
touching
which
,
well
am
I
assured
,
that
vntill
you
adde
sable
for

to
the

of
this
coate
,
and
an

Swallowe

this
is
vnperfect
Armory
,
and
no
ensigne
or
armes
pertaining
to
the
familie
of
Arundels
,
(
as
you
say
it
is
)
nor
any
coate
of
Armes
at
all
.
WIgot
a
Saxon
was
Lord
of
that
honor
,
at
the
time
of
the
THe
great
trouble
,
and
late
suite
in
the
Starre-chamber
,
for
setting
downe
in
Pedigree
a
forged
heire
generall
of
Anthony
Lord
Grey
of
Ruthin
,
to
the
great
danger
of
of
disinheriting
an
honorable
person
now
liuing
,
might
be
a
warning
both
to
you
,
&
others
,
how
they
commit
the
like
fault
hereafter
.
Which
notwithstanding
,
I
see
it
is
not
regarded
,
for
that
not
long
since
I
haue
seene
a
petigree
made
by
your selfe
,
more
faultie
then
that
before
spoken
of
:
which
to
let
passe
,
I
will
come
to
answere
this
title
of
Wallingford
.
Here
you
affirme
,
Robert
d'
Oyley
to
haue
issue
a
daughter
and
heire
named
Maude
,
maryed
to
Miles
Crispine
:
by
which
imagined
heire
,
you
wrong
most
of
the
honorable
families
of
this
Realme
now
liuing
,
discended
of
the
said
d'Oylye
.
And
to
redresse
this
,
I
will
heere
set
you
downe
the
true
discent
of
the
said
Robert
d'Oylye
:
in
which
it
shal
appeare
,
no
such
daughter
euer
to
haue
bene
(
as
you
affirme
.
)
First
by
the
booke
of
Domesday
it
is
set
downe
,
that
William
the
Conqueror
did
giue
vnto
Robert
d'Oylye
these
landes
following
:
Watelinton
,
Garinges
,
Bernecester
,
Hochenorton
,
Chedelinton
,
Eton
,
and
Braiton
,
with
many
other
goodly
possessions
in
the
countie
of
Oxford
.
Likewise
in
the
booke
of
Osney
I
finde
,
that
in
the
time
of
the
Norman
conquest
,
there
liued
two
brothers
of
the
familie
of
d'Oyleys
,
Robert
,
and
Nigell
:
and
that
Robert
dyed
without
issue
,
leauing
Robert
(
his
nephew
by
his
brother
Nigel
)
to
succeede
him
in
his
possessions
.
Also
by
diuers
euidences
in
my
custodie
,
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
foresaid
Robert
the
nephew
,
founded
the
Abbey
of
Osney
in
the
time
of
king
Henry
the
first
,
and
had
issue
Henry
d'
Oyley
Constable
to
king
Henry
the
second
:
to
whome
succeeded
the
second
Henry
d'
Oylye
his
sonne
,
that
was
likewise
Constable
to
king
Richard
the
first
,
and
died
without
issue
,
leauing
Margaret
his
sister
and
coheire
,
maryed
to
Henry
Newborough
Earle
of
Warwicke
:
of
whome
that
great
and
honorable
familie
of
Beauchamps
Earles
of
Warwicke
did
discend
.
So
that
hereby
you
may
see
the
true
line
of
heires
males
continued
from
the
first
Robert
,
in
William
the
Conquerors
time
,
vnto
Richard
the
first
,
very
apparantly
prooued
:
to
the
ouerthrow
and
auoyding
of
your
feigned
heire
generall
.
Whereby
also
you
may
take
a
caueat
,
to
alter
&
recall
in
againe
your
late
coyned
pettigree
,
being
of
the
same
stampe
.

WAlter
Hungerford
,
high
Treasurer
of
England
to
IN
this
discent
of
Hungerford
,
you
haue
made
the
grand-childe
to
be
sonne
to
his
grandfather
.
If
you
desire
to
know
how
:
I
answere
,
in
making
Robert
Earle
Hungerford
to
bee
sonne
to
Walter
Lorde
Hungerford
,
Treasorer
to
King
Henry
the
sixt
,
(
who
was
in
deede
his
grand-childe
.
)
In
which
doing
,
you
haue
not
onely
bereaued
the
said
Walter
of
his
lawfull
sonne
:
but
also
Robert
Earle
Hungerford
,
both
of
his
father
,
and
mother
.
And
to
manifest
,
that
there
was
a
Robert
betweene
Walter
which
was
Treasorer
to
king
Henry
the
sixt
,
and
Robert
called
Earle
Hungerford
,
I
will
first
here
inserte
the
discent
with
the
seuerall
marryages
,
beginning
at
the
said
Walter
Lord
Hungerford
,
who
maryed
the
daughter
and
heire
of
Peuerell
,
and
had
issue
Robert
,
that
tooke
to
wife
Margaret
the
daughter
and
heire
of
William
Lord
Botreaux
:
by
whome
he
had
issue
the
second
Robert
Earle
Hungerford
,
which
in
the
life
of
his
grandfather
Walter
,
and
Robert
his
father
,
marryed
the
daughter
and
heire
of
the
Lord
Mollens
,
and
in
her
right
was
summoned
to
the
Parliament
:
Anno
25.
of
Henry
the
sixt
,
by
the
name
of
Robert
Lord
Mollens
.
And
after
the
death
of
the
forenamed
Walter
,
the
said
two
Roberts
were
both
at
one
time
of
the
Parliament
,
Anno
29.
of
Henry
the
sixt
,
the
father
by
the
name
of
Robert
Lord
Hungerforde
senior
,
and
the
sonne
by
the
Name
of
Robert
Hungerforde
Lord
Mollens
Iunior
.
Which
I
take
to
be
so
strong
a
proofe
,
as
vpon
the
sight
hereof
,
you
will
recant
and
subscribe
to
the
same
.
WIdehay
was
the
auncient
seate
of
the
Barons
Saint
Amend
,
WHat
an
vngodly
course
is
this
you
take
,
to
depriue
noble
men
both
of
their
honor
and
honestie
,
framing
to
some
vnnaturall
mariages
,
falsifying
the
discentes
of
other
,
and
making
legitimate
heires
,
illegitimate
?
which
abuses
,
by
reason
of
my
oath
taken
at
my
creation
,
I
may
not
let
passe
,
without
telling
you
thereof
.
Vnderstand
therefore
,
that
where
you
affirme
William
Beauchamp
Lord
Saint
Amond
(
who
maryed
Elizabeth
grand-childe
to
Gerald
Braybrooke
)
to
haue
issue
one
onely
sonne
,
and
he
a
Bastard
:
therein
doe
you
greatly
both
wrong
and
scandalize
him
,
for
he
had
in
lawfull
matrimonie
by
his
said
wife
,
Richard
Beauchamp
Lord
Saint
Amond
,
his
legitimate
sonne
that
succeeded
him
in
the
dignitie
of
Saint
Amond
,
and
maryed
Anne
the
daughter
of
Sir
Walter
Wrotesley
knight
.
And
therefore
,
very
vntruely
haue
you
charged
the
said
William
,
to
haue
had
any
such
Bastard
.
THe
Barons
of
Windsore
tooke
their
original
from
William
the
HEre
would
you
impeache
the
credite
of
that
worthie
Officer
of
Armes
Robert
Glouer
,
in
making
him
the
Authour
of
your
imagined
dreames
,
he
hauing
vnder
his
owne
hand
in
the
Petigree
of
the
honorable
Lord
Windsor
,
both
denyed
,
that
William
de
Windsor
was
sonne
to
Other
,
keeper
of
the
Castle
of
Windsor
:
as
also
,
that
the
Earle
of
Kildare
,
and
Desmond
were
discended
from
the
said
William
.
By
which
your
vntrue
misse-alledging
the
said
Somersets
workes
,
to
serue
your
turne
,
you
shewe
your selfe
very
vngratefull
towardes
him
,
out
of
whose
bookes
,
(
in
the
custodie
of
the
late
Lorde
Treasorer
)
you
gathered
the
flowers
wherewithall
you
haue
made
your
vnperfect
garland
,
which
you
in
your
last
edition
so
much
haue
boasted
of
.
But
here
would
I
not
,
that
you
,
or
any
other
should
misconceaue
my
meaning
,
that
I
thinke
or
iudge
Somerset
Herald
hath
written
or
set
downe
in
his
said
bookes
any
of
these
vntruthes
:
but
rather
,
that
you
,
not
rightly
vnderstanding
them
,
nor
able
to
discerne
the
true
vse
of
his
trauels
,
haue
thorough
ignorance
committed
these
your
errors
,
in
affirming
William
de
Windsor
to
be
sonne
to
Other
,
and
auncester
to
the
Earles
of
Kildare
and
Desmond
in
Ireland
:
of
which
two
pointes
you
cannot
prooue
any
one
:
for
the
originall
auncester
of
these
before
spoken
of
,
was
Walter
the
sonne
of
Other
,
and
not
William
sonne
of
Other
:
for
Walter
had
two
sonnes
,
William
,
of
whome
are
discended
the
Lordes
of
Windsor
:
and
Gerald
,
who
was
auncester
to
the
Geraldines
Earles
of
Kildare
and
Desmond
.
And
where
you
make
William
de
Windsor
to
be
sonne
of
Other
:
therein
are
you
also
deceiued
,
for
the
same
William
you
speake
of
,
was
sonne
of
Walter
,
and
grand-childe
to
Other
:
as
doth
appeare
by
the
Charter
of

Henry

as

,
all
the

which
before
were
the
possessions
of
William
sonne
of
Walter
his

,
and
of

.
Wherefore
I
will
&c.
that
he
hold
it
,
as
his
fee
and
inheritance
,
&c.
peaceably
,
freely
,
and
honorably
,
euen
as
his

and

held
the
same
,
in
the
time
of

,
and
of

William
my

,
Reignald
the
Earle
,
and

Baillol
&c.
WIlliam
Rufus
king
of
England
,
made
William
Earle
ALthough
I
omit
here
to
tell
you
,
that
the
first
William
Earle
Warren
was
made
Earle
of
Surrey
by
William
Conquerour
,
and
not
by
William
Rufus
:
yet
will
I
(
by
your
patience
)
put
you
in
minde
of
an
other
error
by
you
here
committed
,
of
more
importance
,
which
is
:
if
you
remember
,
in
the
title
of
the
Earles
of
Norffolke
,
Pag.
370.
You
there
haue
made
Roger
By
got
Earle
of
Norffolke
to
be
husband
vnto
Maude
the
eldest
daughter
and
coheire
of
William
Marshal
Earle
of
Penbrooke
:
and
now
in
this
place
,
you
make
the
said
Maude
to
be
the
widowe
of
Hugh
Bygot
,
father
of
the
foresaid
Roger
:
which
I
take
to
be
incest
,
for
the
sonne
to
marry
his
owne
mother
.
And
therefore
,
least
all
their
modest
posteritie
might
blushe
at
such
an
incestuous
Oedipus
,
as
your
poeticall
fansie
hath
brought
vpon
the
stage
,
I
would
wishe
you
to
correct
this
your
tragicall
fable
.
KIng
Richard
the
second
made
Thomas
Holland
Earle
of
Kent
(
being
his
halfe
brother
by
the
mother
)
Duke
of
Surrey
:
WHere
you
say
,
that
Thomas
Beauford
,
after
the
attainder
of
Thomas
Holland
,
was
aduaunced
to
the
dignitie
of
Duke
of
Surrey
,
and
dyed
Anno
1410.
(
as
Walsingham
saith
.
)
To
the
first
I
answere
,
the
said
Thomas
Beauford
was
neuer
dignified
with
the
title
of
Duke
of
Surrey
,
by
K.
Henry
the
fourth
,
or
any
other
king
.
And
to
proue
the
same
,
I
finde
,
that
the
saide
king
,
in
the
13.
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
did
create
the
said
Thomas
Earle
of
Dorset
:
in
which
dignitie
he
continued
vntill
the
fourth
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
fift
:
in
which
yeare
he
sate
in
Parliament
by
that
name
of
dignitie
,
and
after
was
made
Duke
of
Exceter
.
And
therefore
herein
haue
you
failed
.
And
to
the
second
,
concerning
the
time
of
Thomas
Beaufordes
death
:
it
maketh
me
much
to
muse
,
how
the
said
Duke
should
dye
,
Anno
1410
,
and
being
deceased
,
how
he
should
start
vp
out
of
his
graue
,
and
make
personall
appearance
at
the
high
courte
of
Parliament
holden
at
Westminster
1425.
fifteene
yeares
after
,
except
you
can
shewe
some
strange
Metamorphosis
,
or
prooue
that
dead
men
being
summoned
,
did
take
their
places
in
that
Parliament
:
which
cannot
be
without
some
Negromancie
,
or
strange
worke
beyond
nature
.
THe
Barons
Botreaux
,
alias
Boterels
,
did
beare
for
their
FIrst
,
in
making
Botreaux
and
Boterell
to
be
all
one
family
,
and
name
,
you
do
much
erre
:
they
being
seuerall
,
and
not
one
:
as
may
be
proued
by
William
Botreaux
Sherif
of
Cornwall
,
who
liued
in
the
ninth
yeare
of
king
Iohn
,
and
bare
for
his
Armes
(
as
you
fay
)
three
Todes
Sable
:
and
William
Boterell
,
that
liued
in
the
fift
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
(
and
was
summoned
amongst
other
Barons
,
for
the
leuying
of
an
armie
against
Llewellin
Prince
of
Wales
)
did
beare
for
his
Armes
,
checkie
gold
and
Gules
a
cheueron
Azur
.
By
which
two
great
differences
,
both
of
the
name
,
and
Armes
,
it
doth
euidently
appeare
,
that
they
were
not
one
,
but
two
seuerall
families
.
Secondly
,
in
affirming
that
William
Botreaux
maried
Alice
the
daughter
of
Richard
Corbet
,
sister
to
her
that
was
Paramour
to
king
Henrie
the
first
,
and
mother
to
Reignald
Earle
of
Cornwall
,
you
are
also
greatly
deceiued
:
for
the
mother
of
the
said
Reignald
,
was
daughter
and
coheire
of
Robert
Corbet
,
and
not
of
Richard
:
as
by
the
gift
of
king
Henrie
the
first
,
to
the
saide
Robert
his
Concubines
father
,
of
the
borough
of
Alencester
,
in
the
Countie
of
Warwicke
,
it
is
manifested
.
But
I
need
not
striue
much
against
you
for
this
point
,
seeing
I
may
oppose
your
owne
narration
,
pag.
438.
of
your
booke
,
against
your selfe
:
and
therefore
I
leaue
you
to
quarell
with
your
owne
memorie
,
not
doubting
,
but
you
can
take
it
best
,
to
bee
controller
to
your selfe
.
Thirdly
,
your
Arithmeticall
pen
,
can
as
well
multiplie
,
for
a
neede
,
as
detract
when
it
list
,
hauing
as
quicke
a
slight
to
make
Barons
,
as
the
heathens
had
to
make
gods
,
which
were
something
in
name
,
but
manie
times
nothing
in
nature
:
for
here
you
make
eleuen
Barons
of
the
familie
of
Botreaux
,
one
to
succeede
the
other
,
after
the
first
William
.
Whereas
you
are
able
to
proue
but
foure
.
And
to
make
your
computation
aright
,
you
must
begin
first
with
William
Botreaux
,
who
began
his
Baronie
,
at
a
Parliament
holden
at
Westminster
the
first
day
of
May
,
in
the
24.
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
third
:
which
William
had
issue
William
,
that
was
the
second
Baron
:
who
begat
William
the
third
,
father
of
William
the
fourth
,
and
last
Baron
of
that
familie
.
Of
which
second
,
and
third
Barons
,
you
haue
made
the
father
to
marry
his
sonnes
wife
,
and
the
sonne
to
marry
his
own
mother
.
To
which
most
vnnatural
matches
I
wonder
how
you
could
euer
giue
your
consent
,
you
being
the
onely
parent
of
seuen
of
those
eleuen
Barons
,
who
had
all
their
conceptions
and
births
in
the
wombe
of
your
pregnant
braine
.
Lastly
,
I
denie
that
any
of
the
saide
Williams
,
Lordes
Botreaux
,
did
marie
with
anie
Katherine
that
was
coheire
to
Katherin
Twenge
,
as
you
vntruly
haue
set
downe
.
Pemsey
Castle
was
sometime
belonging
to
the
Earle
Morton
:
THis
Castle
tooke
not
the
title
of
honour
of
the
Eagle
,
of
Gilbert
who
tooke
part
against
King
Henrie
the
second
(
as
you
say
:
)
for
King
William
the
Conquerour
gaue
to
Stephen
Earle
of
Blois
and
Charters
,
with
Ella
his
daughter
,
the
Earledome
of
the
Eagle
in
Normandie
,
and
the
Castle
and
honour
of
Pemsey
in
Suffex
.
Which
foresaid
honours
the
said
Stephen
enioyed
,
and
afterward
gaue
the
same
to
Henrie
of
Bloys
his
sonne
:
who
enioied
the
same
,
vntil
he
resigned
them
vnto
Richard
his
sonne
,
and
became
Abbot
of
Glastenburie
,
and
after
Bishop
of
Winchester
.
This
Richard
being
Earle
of
the
Eagle
,
and
Lord
of
Pemsey
,
liued
in
King
Stephens
time
,
and
was
a
witnesse
to
the
couenants
of
peace
betwixt
him
and
Henrie
Duke
of
Normandie
,
by
the
name
of
Richard
Earle
of
the
Eagle
.
He
gaue
his
said
Earledome
,
and
honour
of
Pemsey
,
to
William
Earle
of
Morton
his
Cosen
germane
,
sonne
to
King
Stephen
.
Which
gift
,
with
the
said
titles
of
honour
,
King
Henrie
the
second
did
confirme
:
but
not
long
after
▪
he
constrained
the
said
William
to
surrender
vnto
him
againe
,
aswel
those
honours
,
as
also
all
other
lands
that
he
had
,
both
in
Normandie
,
and
in
England
,
vpon
condition
,
that
the
said
king
should
re-assure
vnto
him
al
those
lands
which
king
Stephen
his
father
was
possessed
of
,
at
the
death
of
king
Henrie
the
first
.
And
how
truly
you
affirme
,
the
honour
of
Pemsey
to
haue
belonged
to
any
Earle
Morton
before
the
reigne
of
King
Stephen
(
William
sonne
to
king
Stephen
being
the
first
Earle
Morton
which
enioyed
the
same
)
it
is
thought
as
vnworthie
of
credit
,
as
that
before
,
where
you
alledge
,
Pemsey
castle
to
haue
taken
his
first
honour
from
Gilbert
Lord
of
the
Eagle
,
in
the
reigne
of
King
Henrie
the
second
when
it
is
trulie
proued
,
to
bee
an
honour
at
such
time
as
William
the
Conquerour
gaue
the
same
in
marriage
with
his
daughter
.
FIue
Earles
of
Sussex
were
of
the
familie
of
the
Albeneys
,
who
IN
this
succession
of
Albeneys
,
Earles
of
Sussex
,
you
haue
taken
great
paines
,
making
fiue
of
that
surname
,
to
haue
beene
Earles
both
of
Sussex
and
Arundell
:
when
as
you
can
prooue
but
foure
in
all
to
haue
beene
Earles
of
that
familie
,
and
but
two
of
them
Earles
of
Sussex
,
viz.
William
,
whom
king
Henrie
the
second
made
the
first
Earle
of
Sussex
,
and
Hugh
his
sonne
,
who
died
without
issue
,
in
the
27.
yeare
of
king
Henrie
the
third
:
for
that
William
whom
you
call
the
fourth
Earle
of
Arundell
,
I
deeme
as
yet
neuer
borne
.
And
the
first
William
,
which
married
Queene
Aelidise
,
the
widow
of
King
Henrie
the
first
,
who
you
say
was
both
earle
of
Sussex
and
Arundell
,
I
make
great
doubt
of
,
thinking
you
not
able
to
make
proofe
he
was
Earle
of
either
.
For
sure
I
am
,
that
his
owne
deed
doth
shew
the
contrarie
,
that
he
was
onelie
Earle
of
Chichester
,
and
not
of
Arundell
and
Sussex
:
which
to
manifest
I
haue
here
set
downe
his
deed
,
as
followeth
.
GVilielmus

&c.
William

and
to

as
well

as

&c.
Knoweye
,
that
I
haue
giuen
and
granted

to
the

Lastly
,
where
you
say
,
that
after
the
familie
of
the
Albeneyes
were
extinct
,
the
Earldome
of
Sussex
lay
dead
,
vntill
he
21.
yeare
of
king
Henrie
the
eight
,
who
then
created
Robert
Radcliffe
Earle
of
Sussex
.
To
that
I
answere
:
it
did
not
lie
dead
all
that
while
:
for
after
the
death
of
Hugh
de
Albeney
,
1242.
king
Edward
the
first
,
in
the
18.
yere
of
his
reigne
,
made
Richard
Fitz-Allen
Earle
of
Arundell
knight
:
at
which
time
he
also
girded
him
with
the
sworde
of
the
Earldome
of
Sussex
.
In
whose
issue
it
continued
diuers
discents
:
and
then
,
by
attainture
fell
vnto
the
crowne
.
As
in
my
booke
,
entituled
the
Nobilitie
of
England
,
which
I
meane
shortly
(
God
willing
)
to
publish
,
you
may
see
at
large
.
RIchard
Earle
of
Clare
,
builded
the
Castle
of
Tunbridge
,
hauing
THis
discent
of
Godfrey
Earle
of
Aniou
,
and
Brionie
,
is
forreine
,
and
bredde
beyond
the
Seas
in
Normandie
,
from
whence
you
haue
had
little
intelligence
:
&
therfore
not
so
much
to
be
condemned
,
for
mistaking
the
right
father
of
the
saide
Godfrey
,
making
him
the
sonne
of
William
the
second
duke
of
Normandy
,
when
as
he
was
sonne
to
Richard
the
first
Duke
of
Normandie
.
Which
fault
(
notwithstanding
)
I
woulde
wish
you
to
amende
in
your
next
edition
:
and
also
to
take
away
from
this
Richard
(
his
grandchilde
)
the
title
of
Earle
,
vntill
such
time
as
you
haue
a
better
commission
for
making
of
Earles
.
And
for
your
warrant
to
doe
this
,
you
shall
haue
both
the
booke
of
Domesday
,
and
diuerse
charters
of
William
the
Conqueror
,
wherein
the
said
Richard
was
a
witnesse
by
the
name
onely
of
Richard
Fitz-Gilbert
,
without
any
other
title
of
honor
.
THe
Creuecueurs
,
(
so
named
de
crepito-corde
)
builded
the
TO
reconcile
your
contradictions
,
in
these
two
titles
of
Leedes
Castle
,
and
Folkestone
,
I
thinke
it
a
verie
harde
matter
:
for
in
the
first
you
say
,
That
Hamon
Creuecueur
(
who
marryed
the
daughter
and
heire
of
the
Baron
of
Folkestone
(
had
issue
Hamon
,
that
succeeded
him
:
which
Hamon
had
issue
Robert
,
who
dying
without
issue
,
gaue
his
patrimonie
to
king
Edwarde
the
first
.
And
after
,
in
the
title
of
Folkestone
you
affirme
the
contrarie
:
saying
,
That
the
same
Hamon
had
issue
a
daughter
that
carried
Folkestone
,
by
her
marriage
,
to
Iohn
of
Sandwich
.
By
which
thus
still
ouermuch
busying
your selfe
in
matters
passing
your
skill
,
it
maketh
you
so
forgetfull
,
that
oftentimes
you
are
faine
to
vtter
matters
incoherent
,
and
much
contradictorie
.
Wherefore
vnderstande
,
that
Hamon
Creuecueur
,
(
who
you
say
married
the
daughter
and
heire
of
the
Baron
of
Folkestone
)
had
issue
Hamon
,
who
succeeded
his
father
:
and
he
had
issue
Robert
,
(
which
died
without
issue
)
and
foure
daughters
:
Eleonor
married
to
Bertram
Criell
,
Agnes
to
Iohn
of
Sandwich
,
Isolde
to
Nicholas
Lenham
,
and
Isabell
to
Henrie
Hawt
.
Of
which
foure
daughters
you
haue
left
out
the
first
,
and
two
last
,
naming
but
onely
the
second
,
married
to
Iohn
of
Sandwich
:
who
was
not
the
daughter
of
the
first
Hamon
(
as
you
affirme
)
but
of
the
second
,
whom
you
haue
casscered
out
of
this
discent
.
And
whereas
,
in
the
title
of
Leedes
castle
,
you
say
,
that
the
last
Robert
Creuecueur
,
dying
without
issue
,
gaue
his
patrimonie
to
K.
Edward
the
first
.
Before
I
answer
there
unto
,
I
first
demaund
of
you
,
how
that
may
be
?
When
your selfe
,
in
the
title
of
Folkstone
,
haue
set
downe
the
said
Roberts
sister
to
carie
Folkestone
by
her
marriage
to
Iohn
of
Sandwich
:
which
was
a
part
of
the
said
Roberts
patrimony
.
And
for
direct
proofe
,
that
the
said
Robert
did
not
giue
his
patrimony
to
king
Edward
the
first
(
as
you
haue
said
:
)
it
appeareth
by
an
inquisition
taken
after
the
death
of
the
saide
Robert
,
in
the
thirtieth
yeare
of
King
Edward
the
first
,
that
his
foresaide
foure
sisters
were
his
heires
,
and
that
Eleonore
the
eldest
had
for
her
part
of
her
brothers
inheritance
,
the
Mannor
of
Estwell
in
Kent
,
and
Agnes
the
second
sister
had
Folkestone
:
the
other
two
had
other
landes
that
descended
to
the
said
Robert
from
his
auncestors
,
which
I
take
to
be
his
patrimonie
.
HVbert
de
Burgo
,
was
made
Earle
of
Kent
by
king
Henry
the
IF
this
be
true
,
that
Hubert
de
Burgo
Earle
of
Kent
dyed
without
issue
(
as
you
here
report
hee
did
)
then
doth
the
now
Lord
de
La-ware
wrong
,
to
quarter
the
said
Huberts
Coate
of
Armes
,
pretending
thereby
to
bee
his
heire
.
But
whether
the
said
honourable
person
doth
wrong
therein
,
or
you
wrong
him
in
so
saying
?
Let
vs
examine
this
matter
a
little
better
.
First
it
doth
appeare
in
a
summons
of
the
Nobilitie
of
this
realme
,
for
the
leuying
of
an
army
against
Llewellin
Prince
of
Wales
,
in
the
fift
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
that
Iohn
de
Burgo
,
Baron
of
Lammale
,
grandchilde
to
Hubert
by
his
sonne
Iohn
,
was
by
the
name
of
Iohn
,
sonne
of
Iohn
de
Burgo
,
called
thereunto
.
Also
by
an
inquisition
taken
after
the
death
of
the
said
Iohn
,
in
the
same
kings
reign
,
it
was
found
,
that
Deruergulda
the
wife
of
of
Robert
Fitz-Walter
Lord
of
Woodham
,
and
Hawise
the
wife
of
Robert
Greylie
of
Manchester
,
were
the
daughters
and
heires
of
the
said
Iohn
de
Burgo
,
and
that
the
foresaide
Hawise
did
holde
of
the
inheritance
of
Hubert
de
Burgo
her
great
grandfather
,
the
Mannor
of
Werkerley
in
Northamptonshire
,
and
the
Mannor
of
Portland
in
Essex
.
Which
discent
being
thus
farre
prooued
to
Greyley
,
I
doubt
not
but
you
will
confesse
,
that
Ioan
the
onelie
daughter
of
the
saide
Robert
Lord
Greyley
was
married
to
Iohn
Lord
de
La-ware
.
Which
done
,
I
hope
you
will
yeeld
your selfe
to
haue
erred
herein
,
and
acknowledge
the
said
noble
person
now
to
be
right
heire
,
and
that
the
said
Hubert
died
not
without
issue
,
as
you
very
daungerously
haue
affirmed
he
did
.
HErbert
married
the
sister
of
William
Earle
of
Hereford
,
and
YOur
often
and
suspitious
obiections
,
whereby
you
call
in
question
the
credit
of
her
Maiesties
Heraulds
(
as
though
you
iudged
them
scarce
worthy
to
be
belieued
)
doth
proceed
(
as
I
suppose
)
from
a
malignant
humour
in
you
,
rather
then
from
any
grounds
or
sufficient
reasons
that
might
moue
you
thereto
.
But
I
trust
,
those
of
discretion
will
sooner
giue
credit
vnto
them
,
in
matters
that
they
shall
auerre
by
good
warrantise
,
and
authoritie
,
then
to
you
,
who
ground
your
contradicting
arguments
vpon
heare
sayes
,
and
opiniatiue
imaginations
.
And
where
you
charge
the
Heraulds
,
to
haue
made
Anthonie
Fitz-Herbert
,
(
that
was
Lorde
chiefe
Iustice
of
England
)
to
bee
discended
from
that
familie
of
Herberts
,
which
married
the
sister
of
William
Earle
of
Hereford
:
I
say
,
they
haue
done
therein
like
honest
and
learned
Officers
of
Armes
:
and
those
that
haue
,
or
shall
deriue
the
saide
Anthonie
,
or
anie
of
that
familie
of
Fitz-Herberts
,
from
anie
other
originall
,
then
that
aforesaid
,
they
haue
and
shall
erre
from
the
trueth
,
IN
the
time
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
the
barons
of
Winterborne
YOur
Barons
of
Winterborne
must
be
turned
out
of
the
plurall
into
the
singular
number
:
and
where
you
make
them
Barons
in
the
reigne
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
therein
are
you
much
deceaued
:
for
Thomas
Bradston
the
first
and
last
Baron
of
that
surname
,
began
his
dignitie
at
a
Parlement
holden
at
Westminster
,
in
the
21.
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
third
,
and
dyed
aboute
the
34.
yeare
of
the
said
kings
reigne
,
leauing
issue
a
daughter
and
heire
marryed
to
Poole
,
who
had
issue
a
daughter
and
heire
marryed
to
Ingeldesthorpe
,
which
likewise
had
a
daughter
and
heire
marryed
to
Neuill
Marquis
Montacute
:
who
hauing
diuers
daughters
his
heires
,
one
of
them
was
marryed
to
Browne
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
and
an
other
to
Stoner
,
of
whome
the
Lord
Wentworth
is
discended
.
So
,
that
hereby
it
may
appeare
,
that
the
Vicount
Montacute
,
and
the
Lord
Wentworth
,
are
discended
from
Bradston
,
by
these
foresaid
three
seuerall
families
,
whereof
you
haue
left
out
Poole
the
first
of
them
,
without
which
the
other
cannot
discend
from
Bradstone
.
And
thus
haue
you
through
ignorance
obscured
,
and
made
vnperfect
this
honorable
discent
,
to
the
preiudice
of
many
worthie
families
discended
of
the
same
.
SVdley
was
lately
the
seate
of
Giles
Baron
Chandos
,
whose
father
YOu
thinke
by
your
perswasions
,
to
make
men
beleeue
you
haue
seene
that
which
God
knoweth
you
were
neuer
neare
by
many
a
mile
:
otherwise
(
I
take
it
)
you
would
not
doe
as
heere
you
haue
done
,
making
Edmond
Bruges
father
of
the
now
Lord
Chandos
,
to
be
the
first
Baron
of
his
surname
,
and
that
hee
was
created
into
that
dignitie
by
Queene
Elizabeth
:
Because
(
say
you
)
he
was
discended
of
the
auncient
familie
of
Chandos
.
So
that
here
is
both
a
cause
layde
downe
,
&
a
time
,
for
a
colour
and
shadowe
to
this
your
vntrue
imagination
:
to
the
no
small
preiudice
of
that
honorable
house
.
But
,
to
manifest
these
your
delusions
,
and
to
restore
againe
this
honorable
person
to
his
right
:
knowe
you
for
certaintie
,
that
Iohn
Bruges
,
the
grandfather
of
the
now
Lord
Chandos
,
was
the
first
Baron
,
and
not
Edmond
his
father
,
(
as
you
very
vniustly
haue
written
.
)
And
for
proofe
here
of
,
I
affirme
,
that
the
said
Iohn
,
was
created
Baron
Chandos
by
Queene
Mary
,
at
her
manner
of
Saint
Iames
,
the
eight
day
of
Aprill
,
in
the
first
yeare
of
her
reigne
,
1553.
as
by
his
letters
patents
,
bearing
date
the
same
day
and
yeare
aboue
said
,
it
may
appeare
.
Which
being
true
,
I
would
now
gladly
knowe
heere
of
you
,
how
you
can
make
good
,
that
Edmond
Bruges
was
the
first
Baron
,
and
had
his
creation
by
Queene
Elizabeth
.
OVr
Heralds
haue
thrust
vpon
vs
William
Fitz-Eustace
,
to
be
YOu
heere
charge
the
Heraldes
with
thrusting
vpon
you
one
Earle
that
you
cannot
finde
,
nor
thinke
as
yet
euer
to
haue
bene
borne
.
And
sure
,
I
suppose
this
was
but
a
flourish
of
your
flowing
stile
,
whereby
you
loue
to
girde
at
Heraldes
.
Yet
,
graunt
they
did
obtrude
some
such
Earle
,
you
are
euen
with
them
:
for
you
force
on
them
here
two
Earles
of
Glocester
which
neuer
attained
vnto
that
dignitie
,
vidz
,
Peter
de
Gaueston
,
and
Hugh
de
Spencer
.
Wherefore
,
the
better
to
satisfie
you
,
and
those
that
haue
written
Peter
Gaueston
to
be
Earle
of
Glocester
,
and
to
haue
succeeded
Raphe
Mont-Hermerye
.
I
affirme
,
that
the
said
Raphe
Mont-Hermerye
sate
in
Parliament
in
the
27.
yeare
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
as
Earle
of
Glocester
,
and
continued
in
all
Parliaments
by
that
name
,
vntill
the
last
yeare
of
the
said
kings
reigne
,
when
yong
Gilbert
de
Clare
his
wiues
sonne
came
of
age
:
who
the
next
yeare
after
(
being
the
first
yeare
of
K.
Edward
the
second
)
was
placed
in
Parliament
by
the
name
of
Gilbert
de
Clare
Earle
of
Glocester
.
He
continued
in
that
dignitie
,
vntill
he
was
slaine
at
Sterling
in
Scotland
,
in
the
sixt
yeare
of
the
same
kings
reigne
,
which
was
a
yeare
after
the
said
Peter
Gaueston
was
beheaded
by
the
Earle
of
Warwicke
.
Which
I
hope
is
sufficient
proofe
against
the
said
Peter
.
And
touching
Hugh
de
Spencer
,
that
he
was
euer
Earle
of
Glocester
,
I
vtterly
deny
the
same
:
and
therefore
now
it
standeth
you
vpon
,
being
in
the
affirmitiue
,
to
proue
it
:
otherwise
neither
I
,
nor
any
other
are
bound
to
beleeue
you

Lastly
,
where
you
haue
made
Sibill
to
be
the
onely
daughter
and
heire
of
Robert
Fitz-Hamon
,
and
wife
to
Robert
Earle
of
Glocester
,
called
the
Consull

I
deny
,
not
onely
that
the
one
had
euer
any
such
daughter
named
Sibill
,
but
also
that
the
other
euer
marryed
any
such
wife
.
And
for
proofe
hereof
,
I
will
desire
no
other
then
your
owne
Author
,
the
booke
of
Tewkesbury
,
which
you
haue
so
greatly
wronged
.
IF
it
please
you
to
beleue
our

these
TO
this
your
scoffing
sporte
,
that
you
make
your selfe
,
vpon
the
credite
of

:
I
answere
,
that
there
is
great
reason
,
(
and
so
I
hope
all
men
will
acknowledge
)
that
her

at

I

it

And
for

I
will
here
inserte
the

very

that

HAresfield
,
the
Patrimonie
of
Richard
Earle
of
Clare
,
in
THat
there
was
one
Richard
Fitz-Gilbert
,
in
the
time
of
William
the
Conqueror
,
which
held
Haresfield
of
the
king
,
it
is
manifest
by
the
booke
of
Domesday
:
but
,
that
he
was
euer
Earle
of
Clare
,
and
that
Haresfield
was
his
patrimonie
,
I
vtterly
deny
.
And
for
proofe
hereof
,
I
say
,
that
he
being
the
first
of
his
name
that
euer
came
into
this
realme
,
and
that
possessed
any
landes
here
,
could
haue
no
possessions
left
vnto
him
by
his
Auncestors
,
which
might
be
said
to
be
his
patrimonie
.
And
where
you
nominate
the
said
Richard
to
be
Earle
of
Clare
:
that
are
you
not
able
to
proue
,
for
in
diuers
Charters
of
William
the
Conqueror
,
and
William
Rufus
,
the
said
Richard
is
a
witnesse
,
by
the
name
of
Richard
Fitz-Gilbert
Dapifer
:
as
also
in
the
booke
of
Domesday
,
by
the
name
of
Richard
,
sonne
of
Earle
Gilbert
.
And
this
doe
you
your
owne
selfe
confesse
against
your selfe
,
in
the
title
of
Clare
,
in
your
booke
,
Pag.
350.
Dunmow
was
the
towne
of
the
Fitz-walters
,
who
issued
from
HEre
haue
you
made
Gilbert
the
grandfather
of
Robert
Fitz-Richard
,
to
be
Earle
of
Clare
:
which
Gilbert
neuer
arriued
in
England
,
till
your
penne
conducted
him
hither
:
but
was
slaine
in
Normandie
by
Raphe
Waceio
,
Anno
1033.
Which
was
33.
yeares
before
the
Norman
Conquest
:
And
Richard
his
sonne
was
the
first
of
that
familie
that
came
into
England
with
William
the
Conqueror
,
who
had
issue
Gilbert
,
and
this
Robert
:
to
which
Robert
,
king
Henry
the
first
gaue
the
Towne
of
Dunmowe
,
by
the
name
of
Robert
Fitz-Richard
his
Sewer
.
As
witnesseth
your
Author
of
Dunmowe
,
whome
you
alledge
,
though
very
vnfaithfully
:
for
had
you
alleadged
the
same
truely
,
and
put
downe
what
king
Henry
he
was
,
which
gaue
to
the
said
Robert
Dunmowe
(
as
your
Author
doth
)
you
should
then
haue
disclosed
your
owne
error
,
and
saued
me
a
labour
.
RIchard
sonne
of
Gilbert
,
Earle
of
Angy
in
Normandie
,
(
for
YOur
historicall
reportes
are
very
changeable
:
for
in
the
title
of
Haresfield
,
Pag.
312.
you
tell
vs
that
Richard
was
Earle
of
Clare
in
William
the
Conquerors
time
:
and
now
here
,
you
affirme
that
Gilbert
his
sonne
was
the
first
Earle
of
Clare
,
of
that
familie
.
And
againe
,
in
the
title
of
Dunmowe
,
there
haue
you
set
downe
this
Robert
the
third
sonne
of
Earle
Richard
,
truely
,
to
be
the
sonne
of
the
first
Richard
that
came
into
this
land
with
William
the
Conqueror
:
but
here
will
you
haue
him
to
be
great
grand-child
to
the
same
Richard
.
Which
by
no
meanes
,
the
now
Earle
of
Sussex
will
consent
vnto
,
because
thereby
he
shall
loose
two
of
his
greattest
auncestors
,
with
their
wiues
,
they
being
the
daughters
and
heires
of
Saint-Lyce
Earle
of
Northampton
,
and
the
Lord
Lucy
:
which
were
both
marryed
,
the
one
to
the
said
Robert
,
and
the
other
to
Walter
his
sonne
:
as
more
plainely
doth
appeare
by
the
true
discent
here
following
.
Richard
sonne
of
Gilbert
Earle
of
Angy
in
Normandye
,
was
Lorde
of
Tunbridge
and
Clare
in
England
,
by
the
gift
of
William
the
Conqueror
,
and
had
issue
Gilbert
Earle
of
Clare
,
Roger
that
dyed
without
issue
,
1173.
and
Robert
who
was
Sewer
to
king
Henry
the
first
,
and
Lord
of
Dunmow
,
by
the
said
kings
gift
.
He
maryed
Matilda
de
Sainct-Lice
lady
of
Bradham
,
and
had
issue
Walter
,
Lord
and
Baron
of
Woodham
,
that
had
to
wife
Matilde
the
daughter
and
coheire
of
Richard
Lucy
,
Lord
chiefe
Iustice
of
England
in
Henry
the
seconds
time
.
Of
which
Walter
,
the
honorable
familie
of
Fitz-walters
tooke
first
their
surname
.
He
dyed
1198.
leauing
the
second
Robert
his
sonne
to
succeede
him
:
who
dyed
in
the
19.
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
third
.
So
that
,
by
this
your
mistaking
,
you
would
cut
off
the
first
Robert
and
Walter
his
sonne
,
making
the
second
Robert
to
be
the
first
that
came
from
the
maine
line
of
the
familie
of
Clares
.
And
for
proofe
hereof
,
I
wish
you
to
examine
Gemiticensis
,
who
will
affirme
the
same
,
to
be
true
that
I
haue
here
said
.
GEffery
Magnauill
,
made
Walden
the
seate
and
head
of
his
THe
dignitie
and
Earledome
of
the
Magnauills
,
whilest
they
were
honored
with
the
title
of
Earles
,
was
Essex
,
and
not
Walden
.
Well
that
familie
might
be
Lordes
and
owners
thereof
,
but
that
neuer
the
head
of
their
honour
,
and
Earledome
.
Wherefore
,
if
your
Author
so
write
,
hee
did
it
rather
like
a
nouice
,
then
an
Herauld
:
and
your
discretion
may
be
suspected
,
in
that
you
played
not
rather
your
parte
,
to
teach
him
to
speake
more
Herauld-lyke
,
then
to
bring
in
his
absurd
tearmes
for
a
testimonie
,
amongst
Earledomes
and
Honors
.
THe
first
Earles
of
Essex
of
the
Norman
race
,
was
Geffrey
YOur
vndiscreete
wordes
vsed
in
this
place
,
may
make
those
noble
personages
deceased
to
be
called
in
question
for
that
which
nature
abhorreth
:
but
it
were
better
your
penne
should
prooue
a
false
witnesse
,
then
so
heynous
a
matter
true
.
Shall
we
surmise
(
as
you
write
in
this
page
)
that
Humfrey
de
Bohun
,
sonne
of
Henry
,
did
marrye
his
owne
mother
.
Assuredly
we
might
seeme
in
so
dooing
,
not
onely
ouer-credulous
,
but
also
irreligious
.
Yet
you
say
here
,
Humfrey
Bohun
marryed
the
sister
and
heire
of
William
Magnauill
Earle
of
Essex
(
who
dyed
without
issue
1227.
)
Which
by
no
meanes
we
may
beleeue
,
because
the
match
were
against
nature
,
if
it
be
true
,
that
Henry
Bohun
marryed
with
that
sister
and
heire
of
William
Magnauill
aforesaid
:
which
is
so
vndoubted
a
trueth
,
that
voluntarily
it
drops
out
of
your
owne
penne
.
Pag.
479.
of
your
booke
,
in
the
title
of
the
Earles
of
Hereford
.
Besides
that
,
it
is
most
euident
,
that
the
saide
Henrie
,
in
the
right
of
his
wife
aboue
mencioned
,
was
the
first
Earle
of
Essex
of
that
familie
:
as
appeareth
by
a
Charter
of
king
Henrie
the
thirde
,
in
the
25.
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
concerning
lands
that
he
gaue
to
the
Abbay
of
Westminster
:
whereunto
the
said
Henrie
was
a
witnesse
,
by
the
name
of
Henrie
de
Bohun
Earle
of
Hereford
and
Essex
,
and
Constable
of
England
.
And
further
,
to
manifest
that
it
was
not
Humfrey
the
sonne
of
this
Henrie
that
married
with
Matilda
,
Know
you
,
that
she
died
1236.
in
the
one
and
twentie
yeare
of
king
Henrie
the
third
,
which
was
during
the
life
of
the
said
Henry
her
husband
,
and
foure
years
before
he
was
a
witnesse
to
the
kings

AFter
the
death
of
the
familie
of
Bigots
,

Vffords
,
Richard
WHat
is
it
that
you
will
not
vndertake
to
write
,
and
publish
of
a
meane
person
?
when
you
verie
vniustly
haue
wronged
that
honorable
familie
of
De-la-Pooles
,
reporting
Michael
De-la-Poole
,
the
first
Earle
of
that
name
,
to
haue
beene
aduaunced
by
Richard
the
second
,
from
a
Merchant
of
Hull
,
(
Pag.
549.
)
to
the
dignitie
of
Earle
of
Suffolke
,
he
being
a
knight
of
the
noble
order
of
the
Garter
:
by
the
Statutes
whereof
,
none
can
bee
elected
vnlesse
hee
be
borne
gentle
three
discents
,
both
of
father
and
mother
.
Also
it
doth
appeare
by
an
inquisition
taken
the
9.
of
Edwarde
the
third
,
that
sir
William
De-la-Poole
knight
Banneret
,
father
of
this
Michael
,
was
sonne
and
heire
of
sir
William
De-la-Poole
knight
.
All
which
testimonies
might
haue
satisfied
you
,
or
any
other
reasonable
person
,
both
to
haue
thought
and
written
more
reuerentlie
of
him
.
But
not
herewith
contented
,
you
after
depriue
him
the
saide
Michaell
,
both
of
his
sonne
,
and
eldest
grandchild
,
which
succeeded
him
in
the
said
dignitie
,
the
one
after
the
other
,
by
the
names
of
Michaell
the

to

Michaell
,
William
De-la-Poole
duke
of

,
his

.
In
both
which
points
howe
much
you
haue
erred

of

with

the
true

:
whom
you
make
sonne
to
his

Michaell
the

And
for
the
better
satisfying
of
the
world
,
that
this
Michaell
De-la-Poole
the

,
of

was

I
haue
hereto
added
a

comming
to
speake
of
the
Barons
of

,
let
mee
,
by
your
patience
,
put
you
in
minde
of
a
late
conference
had
before
the
now
right
honourable
Earle
marshall
of
England
,
concerning
the
true
coates
of
the
two
families
of
Bygot
Earle
of
Norfolke
,
and
Marshall
Earle
of
Penbroke
.
Master
Garter
hauing
before
that
time
set
downe
and
quartered
in
diuerse
noble
personages
atchieuements
,
for
Marshals
coate
,
quarterly
gold
and
vert

(

latelie
deuised

)
and
for

coate
,
perpale
golde
and
vert
a
Lion
rampant
Gules
:
neither
of
them
both
being
in
truth
their
right
coates
.
My selfe
being
commaunded
to
say
what
I
knew
touching
these
matters
,
shewed
,
for
Marshals
coate
,
one
faire
deed
with
a
seale
of
Armes
thereto
,
of
Iohn
Marshall
father
of
William
Marshall
Earle
of
Penbroke
,
and
Anselme
,
that
was
father
to
Iohn
Marshall
Baron
of
Rhia
:
on
which
seale
was
written
,
Iohn
Marshall
,
and
in
his
shield
or
escucheon
,
a
bend
fuzulie
.
Also
I
shewed
a
transcript
of
an
other
deed
of
the
said
Iohn
,
in
which
was
written
:
Iohn
,
sonne
of
Iohn
the
Kinges
Marshall
,
with
the
same
Armes
,
of
a
bend
fuzulie
,
testified
vnder
the
hand
of
an
Officer
of
armes
,
long
before
that
time
deceased
.
Lastly
,
I
shewed
an
old
roll
of
Armes
,
wrought
in
colorus
,
in
Henrie
the
thirds
time
:
wherein
was
the
same
coate
,
viz.
Gules
a
bende
fuzulie
golde
,
and
ouer
the
heade
thereof
written
the
name
of
Marshall
.
All
which
proofes
notwithstanding
,
your selfe
being
there
then
present
,
verie
stedfastlie
denied
the
same
to
bee
the
coate
of
Marshall
Earle
of
Penbroke
,
affirming
that
bend
fuzulie
to
be
the
peculiar
coate
of
Marshall
Baron
of
Rhia
:
who
was
(
as
you
then
said
)
of
no
consanguinitie
to
Marshall
Earle
of
Penbroke
.
For
further
maintaining
of
which
your
speach
,
you
then
shewed
two
newe
petegrees
,
lately
contriued
and
made
by
your
consent
,
declaring
the
saide
two
Marshals
to
bee
seuerall
families
,
and
not
one
.
Since
which
time
(
perusing
well
your
Britannia
(
fol.
360
,
)
I
finde
the
same
there
auouched
by
yourselfe
for
truth
,
which
at
that
time
you
so
confidently
denied
before
the
said
Earle
Marshall
:
viz.
That
Iohn
Marshall
Baron
of
Rhia
,
was
nephew
to
William
Marshall
Earle
of
Penbroke
by
his
brother
:
which
is
quite
contrarie
to
your
speeches
before
vsed
.
By
this
your
information
of
these
Marshals
to
be
seuerall
families
(
without
which
you
had
no
colour
to
maintaine
your
errour
:
for
that
the
Barons
of
Rhia
alwayes
vsed
for
their
coate
of
Armes
the
said
bend
fuzulie
)
the
right
coate
of
Marshall
,
is
like
now
to
bee
neglected
,
and
the
Lion
in
the
parted
field
vsed
in
stead
thereof
,
the
same
being
the
peculiar
coate
borne
by
Marshall
and
Bygot
,
when
they
were
Marshals
of
Englnd
,
and
not
belonging
to
anie
one
priuate
name
:
as
by
many
other
good
proofes
it
may
appeare
.
And
because
I
would
not
haue
any
heareafter
to
stand
doubtfull
which
of
vs
both
are
to
be
beleeued
touching
these
two
Marshals
to
bee
discended
of
one
parent
.
I
will
here
set
downe
the
record
that
doth
warrant
the
same
.
Which
being
proued
,
I
trust
you
will
shew
vs
some
reason
,
why
the
yonger
brother
did
beare
the
bend
fuzulie
,
if
not
discended
to
him
from
his
father
.
That
done
,
I
will
then
shew
you
proofe
,
howe
and
when
,
both
the
elder
Marshall
,
and
Bygot
did
beare
the
Lion
on
the
parted
field
,
which
you
missed
to
find
in
Master
Somersets
Notes
,
and
Master
Leylands
twelue
bookes
lent
you
by
master
Iohn

excellent

KIng
Stephen
gaue

to
his

William
,
from
whom
IF
your
wordes
here
had
beene
but
coniecturall
,
or
gathered
by
reports
,
as
in
many
other
places
they
are
,
you
should
haue
lesse
discredited
your selfe
,
then
by
affirming
you
had
seene
that
,
which
in
truth
you
did
neuer
see
:
for
where
you
say
:
We
thinke
that
the
Bygots
builded
this
Castle
,
because
wee
haue
there
seene
Lions
saliant
in
the
same
forme
engrauen
in
stone
as
the
Bygots
vsed
in
their
seales
before
they
obtained
the
honour
and
office
of
Marshall
:
certaine
it
is
,
that
on
the
said
Castle
there
are
no
Lions
saliant
,
nor
any
such
Ensigne
or
token
as
the
Bygots
did
beare
in
seale
or
shield
,
or
any
Armes
at
all
.
And
,
for
that
you
did
of
late
,
(
as
before
)
vpon
conference
had
before
the
now
Earle
Marshall
of
England
,
affirme
the
saide
Lious
saliant
vpon
the
Castle
walles
of
Norwich
,
to
bee
the
true
Armes
of
the
Bygots
,
before
they
came
to
bee
Marshals
of
England
,
my selfe
hauing
seene
diuerse
deedes
of
the
said
Bygots
to
prooue
the
contrarie
,
the
Seales
whereof
were
,
Shieldes
charged
onelie
with
a
plaine
Crosse
,
(
which
coate
you
then
auouched
to
be
the
Armes
of
Vlster
)
whervpon
,
I
for
my
better
satisfaction
therein
,
did
ride
to
Norwich
for
to
search
the
truth
of
your
speach
:
and
going
into
the
said
castle
,
I
founde
ouer
the
first
gate
,
two
great
stones
fixed
,
of
some
yarde
square
,
and
vppon
each
of
them
a
Lyon
passant
cowardie
,
their
tayles
turning
vnder
their
bellies
,
and
comming
ouer
their
backes
,
but
in
no
Shielde
or
Escucheon
.
And
seeking
more
diligentlie
all
other
places
about
the
saide
Castle
,
I
did
finde
ouer
the
hall
doore
,
other
two
like
stones
,
with
a
Lyon
also
vppon
each
of
them
,
but
contrarie
to
the
former
,
for
these
were
passant
,
regardants
with
their
tayles
ouer
their
backes
,
and
the
endes
in
their
mouthes
:
yet
neither
in
Shielde
,
nor
Escucheon
.
And
therefore
no
such
coate
armour
is
there
vppon
the
Castell
of
Norwich
,
as
you
sayde
you
had
seene
,
that
the
Bygots
did
vse
in
their
Shieldes
and
Seales
.
In
consideration
of
this
my
great
paines
,
and
iourney
,
I
desire
but
that
you
will
from
hencefoorth
make
a
difference
betweene
the
Antique
fictions
of
a
caruers
braine
,
and
the
right
ensignes
of
our
auncient
Nobilitie
:
which
you
say
,
Were
in
King
Henrie
the
thirds
time
but
euerie
mans
owne
inuentions
,
they
being
long
time
before
,
the
honorable
rewardes
and
tokens
of
valorous
persons
.
WOrmegay
,
commonly
called
wrongay
,
was
giuen
by
William
YOur
bare
imagination
concerning
the
gift
of
Wormegay
,
by
William
Earle
Warren
,
to
his
yonger
brother
,
is
nothing
probable
:
for
Reignald
de
Warren
had
the
same
by
marriage
with
the
daughter
&
heire
of
William
de
Wormegay
,
&
not
by
any
gift
of
his
brother
.

you
affirme
,
the
said
Reignald
had
a
grandchild
by

named
Nicholea
married

WIlliam
the
Conquerour
made
Raph
the
first
Earle
of
THe
errors
herein
are
these
:
first
you
say
,
that
Hugh
Bygot
was
Earle
of
Norfolke
,
and
had
the
third
pennie
of
that
Countie
(
as
appeareth
by
his
Charter
of
creation
,
giuen
him
by
king
H.
the
first
.
For
answere
I
say
:
you
haue
not
seene
,
nor
can
proue
any
such
Charter
as
you
here
auouch
:
neither
was
he
the
said
Hugh
,
or
any
of
that
familie
Earle
before
the
first
yeare
of
king
Stephen
,
who
then
made
him
Earle
of
Norfolke
:
because
he
being
present
at
the
death
of
king
Henrie
the
first
,
testifie
before
the
Archbishop
of
Canterburie
and
other
the
Barons
of
this
realme
,
that
hee
heard
king
Henry
vpon
his
death
bed
say
,
his
will
was
,
that
his
Nephew
Stephen
,
and
not
Maude
his
daughter
,
should
succeede
him
in
his
kingdome
of
England
.
Secondly
,
where
you
reckon
a
confused
succession
of
these
Earles
:
saying
,
That
from
the
first
Hugh
in
Henry
the
first
time
,
succeeded
in
direct
line
from
father
to
sonne
,
Hugh
that
tooke
parte
against
king
Henry
the
second
,
&c.
To
this
I
answere
,
that
you
were
in
a
Labyrinth
,
not
able
to
finde
out
what
issue
there
was
betwixt
the
first
and
second
Hugh
.
And
to
vnfolde
this
your
error
:
I
affirme
,
that
the
first
Hugh
,
and
those
that
you
say
succeeded
betweene
from
father
to
sonne
,
to
that
Hugh
,
whome
you
name
the
second
,
were
all
but
one
person
:
for
he
that
was
Steward
to
king
Henry
the
first
,
and
was
after
made
Earle
of
Norffolke
by
king
Stephen
,
was
the
same
person
that
liued
in
the
time
of
king
Henry
the
second
,
and
that
tooke
part
with
the
yong
king
against
his
father
.
Thirdly
,
where
you
affirme
,
that
the
last
Earle
Roger
surrendred
all
his
honors
,
and
almost
all
his
inheritance
vnto
king
Edward
the
second
,
it
seemeth
a
matter
vnto
me
very
vnlike
,
that
the
said
Roger
dying
in
the
life
of
king
Edward
the
first
,
could
in
the
reigne
of
king
Edward
the
second
make
any
such
surrender
.
But
here
haue
you
done
very
wisely
,
in
leauing
out
the
cause
of
the
kings
displeasure
against
the
said
Roger
:
for
therein
would
you
haue
disclosed
your
owne
error
.
But
,
because
I
would
not
haue
you
ignorant
of
the
same
,
king
Edward
the
first
in
the
fifteenth
or
sixteenth
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
required
this
Roger
Bygot
Eerle
of
Norffolke
,
Gilbert
de
Clare
Earle
of
Glocester
,
and
Humfrey
de
Bohun
then
Earle
of
Hereford
,
to
goe
with
him
into
France
:
whose
request
these
three
noble
persons
refused
,
whereupon
,
at
the
said
kings
returne
againe
into
England
,
he
forced
Gilbert
de
Clare
,
and
Humfrey
de
Bohun
the
yonger
sonne
of
the
soresaid
Humfrey
,
to
marrye
with
two
of
his
daughters
,
without
either
land
or
money
,
and
the
said
Roger
Bygot
(
to
appease
the
kings
indignation
)
did
make
ouer
vnto
him
most
part
of
his
landes
,
with
the
office
of
Marshall
of
England
.
And
this
was
done
by
king
Edward
the
first
,
and
not
by
Edward
the
second
,
as
you
haue
here
set
downe
.
KIng
Edward
the
third
,
gaue
the
Earledome
of
Cambridge
THe
Earledome
of
Cambridge
vtterly
decayed
not
with
Richard
of
Conesborough
,
yonger
sonne
of
Edmond
of
Langley
Earle
of
Cambridge
,
and
Duke
of
Yorke
(
who
was
executed
in
the
third
yeare
of
Henry
the
fift
,
(
as
you
say
)
but
was
after
reuiued
againe
in
Richard
his
sonne
,
whome
king
Henry
the
sixt
,
in
the
fourth
yeare
of
his
reigne
created
Earle
of
Cambridge
,
and
after
Duke
of
Yorke
,
Regent
of
Fraunce
,
and
protectour
of
England
.
HVntingdon
had
these
Earles
,
Syward
and
Walthe
of
his
sonne
,
BEfore
I
enter
to
open
your
errors
in
this
succession
of
the
Earles
of
Huntingdon
,
I
would
entreate
you
,
of
this
number
of
eleuen
Earles
,
to
put
out
fiue
of
them
at
the
least
.
And
because
you
shall
take
them
right
,
I
will
first
nominate
vnto
you
those
which
ought
to
stand
,
beginning
with
Walthe
of
Earle
of
Northumberland
,
vnto
whome
William
the
Conqueror
gaue
in
mariage
with
Iudith
his
neece
the
Earledomes
of
Huntingdon
,
&
Northampton
.
This
Walthe
of
had
issue
Maude
,
who
was
giuen
in
marriage
vnto
Dauid
,
brother
to
Alexander
king
of
Scots
:
which
Dauid
was
after
a
witnesse
to
the
Charter
of
king
Henry
the
first
,
touching
landes
and
liberties
that
the
said
king
gaue
vnto
the
Cittie
of
London
,
by
the
name
of
Dauid
Earle
of
Huntingdon
.
After
the
death
of
Dauid
,
the
foresaid
Maude
was
marryed
againe
to
Simon
Sant-lize
a
Norman
gentleman
,
who
had
with
her
the
Earledome
of
Northampton
.
Dauid
before
named
,
had
issue
Henry
,
who
in
the
life
of
his
father
was
Earle
of
Huntingdon
,
and
dyed
in
the
18.
yeare
of
king
Stephen
,
leauing
issue
three
sonnes
,
Malcolme
,
William
,
and
Dauid
.
Malcolme
being
king
of
Scottes
,
rebelled
against
king
Henry
the
second
:
for
which
cause
,
the
king
seised
into
his
handes
the
Earledome
of
Huntingdon
.
After
the
said
Malcolmes
death
,
William
his
brother
succeeded
him
in
the
kingdome
of
Scotland
.
He
likewise
rebelled
against
his
Lorde
king
Henry
the
second
,
and
being
taken
prisoner
,
was
caryed
into
Normandie
,
Anno
1174.
Where
he
compounded
to
pay
for
his
raunsome
ten
thowsand
markes
,
and
to
release
all
his
title
and
interest
of
the
Earledomes
,
both
of
Huntingdon
,
and
Northumberland
.
After
which
,
king
Henry
gaue
the
Earledome
of
Huntingdon
to
Dauid
,
the
third
sonne
of
Dauid
Earle
of
Huntingdon
before
mentioned
.
Which
Dauid
was
a
witnesse
to
the
Charter
of
king
Richard
the
first
,
of
landes
that
he
gaue
to
the
Abbey
of
Peterborough
,
Anno
1189.
by
the
name
of
Dauid
Earle
of
Huntingdon
.
He
dyed
in
the
second
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
third
,
and
left
issue
Iohn
his
sonne
,
surnamed
Scotte
,
who
succeeded
him
:
which
dyed
without
issue
in
the
22.
yeare
of
king
Henry
the
third
.
Thus
haue
I
rightly
set
downe
the
succession
of
the
Earles
of
Huntingdon
,
vnto
Iohn
surnamed
Scotte
:
which
vnlesse
you
can
by
good
authorities
disproue
(
as
I
assure
my selfe
you
cannot
)
I
hope
you
will
not
onely
confesse
your
error
:
but
will
abate
in
your
next
impression
those
fiue
,
which
in
deede
were
neuer
Earles
of
Huntingdon
:
vidz
.
Syward
who
was
but
Earle
of
Northumberland
:
then
the
three
Simons
Sant-lizes
,
that
were
Earles
of
Northampton
onely
,
and
lastly
,
William
king
of
Scottes
.
Ashbye

BY
ayming
at
successions
without
sure
grounde
,
you
still
misse
the
marke
whereat
you
doe
shoote
:
as
here
,
when
you
say
,
That
the
daughters
and
heires
of
the
grand-childe
of
Alane
Baron
Zouch
were
marryed
to
the
families
of
Holland
:
Who
long
time
continued
in
the
name
and
title
of
Barons
:
you
being
not
able
to
proue
but
one
of
those
daughters
marryed
to
Holland
,
and
he
no
Baron
,
nor
any
of
his
posteritie
,
other
then
of
your
making
.
And
where
you
say
,
That
the
said
Hollands
inheritance
discended
to
the
families
of
the
Louells
and
Saint
Mawres
,
I
answere
:
Well
may
you
dreame
of
such
a
succession
,
but
neuer
can
you
produce
any
testimony
for
the
same
.
For
,
had
you
knowne
the
trueth
hereof
,
you
would
haue
said
,
that
both
Holland
&
Saint-Mawre
maried
the
two
daughters
and
coheires
of
Zouch
:
and
not
haue
made
Saint-Mawre
to
discend
from
Holland
,
when
there
was
neuer
any
such
matter
.
NOw
let
vs
come
to
the
Earles
of
Warwicke
.
And
to
let
passe
BY
this
may
all
men
euidently
see
your
malicious
and
disdainefull
humour
against
her
Maiesties
Herauldes
of
Armes
,
in
that
you
cannot
be
contented
in
many
other
places
of
your
booke
,
to
make
doubt
and
question
of
their
reportes
and
dooings
,
whether
the
same
may
be
credited
,
yea
or
no
:
but
heere
most
iniuriously
and
falsely
,
you
charge
them
to
haue
brought
forth
for
Earles
of
Warwicke
,
Guare
,
Morindus
,
Guy
the
bel-ringer
,
and
many
others
of
that
rancke
,
of
which
,
though
Rouse
of
Warwicke
,
and
others
haue
written
of
Guy
,
yet
are
not
you
able
to
iustifie
,
that
the
Herauldes
were
Authors
of
any
such
suspected
Chieftaines
.
And
in
that
you
make
your
worship
mery
(
with
The
fruitefull
wittes
of
our
Herauldes
:
supposed
by
you
,
To
haue
bin
brought
a
bed
with
those
imagined
Earles
all
at
one
birth
.
)
I
wonder
that
so
cunning
a
midwife
should
make
vs
the
reputed
fathers
of
those
which
we
neuer
wrapped
vp
within
the
sheets
or
leaues
of
our
Recordes
.
But
such
a
midwife
,
such
a
nursse
are
you
,
as
haue
not
onely
changed
other
mens
children
in
the
cradle
and
sophisticated
the
reportes
of
worthie
Authors
:
but
also
most
vngratefully
haue
charged
the
parents
,
and
first
collectors
of
many
sounde
notes
(
helpefull
to
your
credite
and
labours
)
as
the
inuentors
of
your
misreportes
,
whereby
you
haue
not
onely
falsified
in
your
booke
,
many
things
concerning
the
discents
of
noble
families
,
imagining
of
your
owne
braine
,
diuers
nobles
to
haue
bene
,
that
neuer
were
,
&
extinguishing
the
memoriall
of
others
that
were
:
But
also
most
vntruely
haue
made
her
Maiesties
Herauldes
the
Authors
of
feigned
stories
,
and
legends
of
lyes
,
when
beside
concealement
of
many
fauours
receaued
from
the
Heraulds
,
you
cease
not
to
carpe
at
them
,
from
whose
workes
you
haue
borrowed
the
substance
of
your
Herauldy
,
and
the
groundes
of
your
skill
in
discents
,
therefore
owe
them
good
wordes
at
the
least
,
for
your
owne
credite
,
least
they
should
call
for
their
lent
feathers
againe
,
and
leaue
you
naked
of
your
Armorie
,
as
Esops
crowe
.
EArles
of
Leicester
were
of
the
Saxons
,
first
Leofrike
,
who
was
HEre
will
we
not
stand
to
examine
the
trueth
of
your
Saxon
Earles
:
but
receaue
them
as
mattter
indifferent
to
fill
vp
a
roome
in
your
booke
.
And
touching
these
other
Earles
of
Leicester
:
I
say
,
your
wittes
haue
misconceiued
and
brought
forth
Rainulph
Earle
of
Chester
,
Almarike
Earle
Mountfort
,
Simon
his
sonne
,
William
of
Bauare
,
and
others
,
which
as
yet
were
neuer
Earles
of
Leicester
,
with
whose
vntimely
byrth
,
you
were
so
payned
(
as
it
seemeth
)
that
you
quite
forget
foure
other
Earles
that
were
rightly
inuested
,
and
succeeded
in
that
dignity
vidz
.
Thomas
&
Henry
,
grand-children
to
king
Henry
the
third
by
his
sonne
Edmond
:
After
Henry
,
succeeded
the
second
Henry
his
sonne
:
And
after
him
his
grand-childe
by
his
daughter
Blanch
(
called
Henry
of
Bullingbrooke
)
who
was
after
king
of
England
by
the
name
of
Henry
the
fourth
.
And
therefore
I
would
intreate
you
to
leaue
out
in
your
next
and
fift
edition
,
your
first
foure
Earles
here
mentioned
:
in
which
doing
,
you
should
make
roome
for
the
other
foure
,
whome
very
iniuriously
you
haue
thrust
out
of
their
right
place
of
succession
.
HInckley
(
if
our
Heraults
deceaue
me
not
)
had
for
Earles
TRuely
I
must
needes
confesse
that
her
Maiesties
Herault
hath
deceaued
you
,
and
contrary
to
your
expectation
,
hath
answered
some
of
your
vntruthes
:
but
that
the
Heraults
doe
affirme
Hugh
Grentemaisnill
to
be
Earle
of
Hinckley
I
vtterly
denye
the
same
.
And
now
comparing
your
speaches
here
,
with
those
before
in
the
title
of
Earles
of
Leicester
,
I
finde
them
very
variable
,
and
your selfe
forgetfull
to
contradicte
your selfe
:
in
so
little
a
distance
:
for
in
that
before
,
you
make
erroneously
Hugh
Grantemaisnill
to
haue
had
but
one
onely
daughter
and
heire
named
Parnell
,
that
was
maryed
to
Robert
Earle
of
Leycester
,
and
here
you
acknowledge
that
he
had
a
second
daughter
named
Alice
,
marryed
to
Roger
By
got
ancester
to
the
Earles
of
Norfolke
:
By
disanulling
of
which
Alice
,
you
endanger
the
succession
and
inheritance
of
most
of
the
Nobilitie
of
this
Realme
,
which
are
from
her
discended
.
But
vnderstand
that
I
doe
not
produce
this
your
assertion
as
erronious
in
this
place
:
but
rather
to
confirme
your
opinion
here
as
true
,
that
your
owne
wordes
before
disagreeing
from
this
trueth
,
may
not
receaue
any
credite
when
they
shall
be
read
.

I

some

fitting

lesse
preiudiciall
to
the

,
for
here
(

you
haue
confused

falsified
this
petigree
of
Lacies

making
Henrie
Lacie
Lord
of
Pomfret
to
haue
issue
but
one
only
daughter
,
and
sole
heire
named
Albrede
,
when
as
hee
had
a
sonne
named
Robert
that
succeded
him
,
and
no
daughter
at
all
.
After
you
auouch
that
daughter
Albrede
,
to
bee
wife
to
Robert
de
Luzurs
(
a
man
as
yet
vnborne
)

to
haue

him
a
daughter
and
sole
heire

To
which
I
answere
,
that
the
same
Albrede
,
who
(
you
say
)
married
Robert
de
Luzurs
was
the
widow
of
Henrie
Lacie
,
and
not
his
daughter
.
And
that
daughter
and
sole
heire
you
affirme
to
be

Fitz-Eustace
,
was
the
onelie
heire
of
Eudo
de
Luzurs
by
Albrede
the
relict
of
Henrie
Lacie
,
and
not
of
Robert
de

.
And
for
proofe
that
Henrie
Lacie
did
marrie
with
Albrede
,
and
had
issue
Robert
Lacie
,
that
died
1193.
as
also
that
the
said
Albrede
after
the
death
of
Henrie

married

You
there
haue
set
downe

to
the

of

And
here
you

which
is
true
indeede
,
and
the
other
false
:
but
as
you

amended
one
errour

so
haue
you
likewise
committed
an
other
,
in
auouching
Peter

to
be
the
saide
Robert

grandchilde
,
when
as
the

had
neither

was

,
were

ancient

here
,
vntill
that
in
TO
this
may
I
answere
as
to
manie
others
:
That
you
write
you
knowe
not
what
,
otherwise
you
would
not
here
so
vntruly
haue
affirmed
Hugh
Handlo
,
to
be
sonne
of
Iohn
Handlo
,
and
Maude
Burnell
his
wife
:
they
neuer
hauing
any
such
sonne
,
nor
you
any
other
proofe
then
your
owne
imagination
for
the
same
:
And
for
approbation
hereof
,
it
appeareth
by
diuerse
offices
,
in
the
time
of
king
Edward
the
third
,
that
Iohn
Handlo
,
in
right
of
Maude
Burnell
his
wife
was
seased
of
the
Mannors
of
Holgat
,
and
Acton

the
Remainder
to

,
sonne

And
therefore
no
such
Hugh
,
as
you
auouch
to
be

of

:
but
had
you
said
,
that
Hugh
had
bene
grand-childe
of

then
had
you
in

a

HArewood
Castell
came
from
the
Curcyes
to
Waryn
Ftz-Gerald
,
YOur
errors
committed
in
this
Title
of
Harewood
Castell
,
are
worthie
some
censure
:
For
,
first
you
say
,
that
Harewood
Castell
came
from
the
Curcyes
to
Waryn
Fitz-Gerald
,
and
that
his
daughter
Margaret
caryed
the
same
by
marriage
to
Bauldwyn
Ryuers
;
Wherein
,
you
are
greatlie
deceaued
:
For
Waryn
Fitz-Gerald
,
which
first
possessed
Harewood
Castell
,
by
marrying
the
sister
&
heire
of
Curcy
,
had
issue
a
sonne
,
and
no
daughter
:
which
sonne
,
had
issue
an
other
sonne
and
two
daughters
;
and
so
your
discent
verie
vntrue
in
that
poynt
.
Secondly
,
you
affirme
that
after
the
death
of
the
said
Margaret
,
Harewood
Castell
did
discend
by
inheritance
,
to
G.
Lisley
.
To
that
I
answere
;
Had
you
knowne
the
trueth
of
this
discent
,
you
would
haue
set
downe
both
the
time
,
and
how
the
said
G.
Lisley
was
the
said
Margarets
heire
,
whether
by
lineall
,
or
collaterall
discent
:
but
that
being
a
matter
too
intricate
for
you
to
performe
,
in
steede
thereof
you
were
forced
to
leaue
for
his
name
a
bare
letter
G.
and
his
right
of
inheritance
,
for
the
readers
of
your
Booke
,
to
finde
in
nubibus
.
And
although
for
some
speciall
cause
,
I
do
forbeare
heere
to
lay
open
this
honorable
progenie
of
Lisles
,
yet
by
the
way
will
I
tell
you
,
that
there
was
neuer
anie
one
of
that
familie
,
whose
name
began
with
a
G.
that
possessed
Harewood
as
an
inheritance
discended
to
him
(
from
the
foresaid
Margaret
;
)
nor
that
wanting
heires
male
,
his
issue
carried
the
same
by
marriage
to
the
familie
of
Aldborough
,
as
you
verie
vndiscreetly
haue
heere
set
downe
:
for
all
those
Lysleys
that
were
owners
of
Harewood
,
were
called
by
the
name
of
Iohn
.
Thirdly
,
that
the
sister
and
heire
of
Robert
Lysley
,
transported
this
inheritance
by
marriage
,
to
William
de
Aldborough
,
I
vtterly
deny
the
same
;
and
for
proofe
say
,
that
Elizabeth
the
wife
of
Sir
William
Aldborough
was
sister
and
heire
of
Iohn
Lisley
,
in
the
time
of
king
Edward
the
thirde
,
and
not
of
Robert
.
And
lastly
,
whereas
without
any
probabilitie
,
you
affirme
,
that
the
foresaid
Sir
William
Alborough
had
issue
by
his
wife
one
onely
daughter
and
heire
,
married
to
Sir
William
Ryther
.
I
answere
,
that
in
saying
he
had
but
one
onelie
daughter
,
you
wrong
diuers
Worshipfull
families
now
liuing
,
that
are
discended
of
Elizabeth
an
other
daughter
and
coheire
of
the
said
Sir
William
Aldborough
,
and
his
wife
;
who
was
first
married
to
Sir
Bryan
Stapleton
,
and
after
to
Sir
Richard
Redman
,
as
by
an
inquisition
taken
after
the
death
of
the
said
Sir
William
Aldborough
and
Elizabeth
his
wife
,
in
the.
12.
yeere
of
king
Richard
the
second
,
it
doth
appeare
.
FOkingham
,
now
the
habitation
of
the
Clyntons
,
in
auncient
time
FIrst
,
in
your
assertion
,
that
(
Gilbert
the
Earle
,
sonne
and
heire
to
Walter
de
Gaunt
)
had
but
one
onely
daughter
:
It
is
manifestly
to
be
prooued
that
he
had
two
sonnes
,
and
a
daughter
;
both
which
sonnes
had
issue
.
Secondly
,
I
say
that
neither
the
daughter
of
Gilbert
came
to
the
inheritance
,
nor
any
such
vncle
Robert
succeeded
her
in
that
dignitie
:
the
right
thereof
euer
remayning
in
her
brothers
,
who
with
their
issue
,
succeeded
in
the
dignitie
.
Thirdly
,
that
the
foresaid
Robert
was
not
father
to
the
third
Gilbert
(
as
you
report
)
whom
Lewis
the
Frenchman
made
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
but
great
vncle
(
if
any
such
Robert
were
euer
at
all
:
)
and
the
better
to
manifest
the
same
,
I
haue
heere
set
you
downe
the
rrueth
of
this
discent
,
as
ensueth
.
WAlter
de
Gaunt
,
sonne
of
Gilbert
de
Gaunt
,
that
founded
the
House
of
Gauntes
in
the
citie
of
Bristow
in
William
Conquerours
time
,
had
issue
Gilbert
,
(
made
Eare
of
Lincolne
by
king
Stephen
)
Walter
,
Henrie
,
Bawldwyn
,
Gonora
,
and
Agnes
.
The
said
Earle
Gilbert
,
maried
Hawise
,
daughter
of
the
first
William
Romare
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
and
had
issue
Gilbert
,
the
second
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
disinherited
by
Henrie
the
second
,
Bawldwyn
Lord
of
Borne
,
and
Alice
wife
to
Simon
Sanctolice
Earle
of
Northampton
.
Gilbert
the
seconde
had
issue
the
thirde
Gilbert
,
whom
Lewis
the
Frenchman
made
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
and
that
died
sanz
issue
in
Henrie
the
thirdes
time
.
Bawldwyn
second
sonne
of
the
first
Earle
Gilbert
,
was
by
the
gift
of
his
father
Lord
of
Borne
,
and
Deeping
:
he
founded
the
Abbay
of
Borne
.
1140.
in
the
honour
of
Henrie
the
second
his
Maister
,
and
died
the
4.
of
May
.
1156.
leauing
Emme
his
onely
daughter
and
heire
,
maried
to
Hugh
Lord
Wake
of
Lydell
,
of
whom
the
noble
families
of
Wakes
descended
.
And
now
to
returne
againe
to
Walter
de
Gaunt
Lord
of
Folkingham
,
seconde
sonne
to
the
first
Walter
,
(
whom
you
name
Robert
)
he
had
issue
Gilbert
de
Gaunt
,
father
to
the
second
Gilbert
:
whose
sonne
,
Gilbert
the
third
,
was
the
first
Baron
of
Folkingham
;
and
was
by
that
name
in
a
Parliament
holden
at
Worcester
.
49.
of
Henrie
the
thirde
.
This
Gilbert
had
great
liuinges
geuen
vnto
him
by
Gilbert
the
last
Earle
of
Lincolne
his
kinsman
:
He
died
,
leauing
issue
Gilbert
de
Gaunt
his
sonne
,
(
who
was
Baron
of
Folkingham
.

Nichola

to
Peter
Malolakue
,
and
Margaret
wife
to
William
Kyrdeston
.
Thus
by
my
long
and
laborious
iourney
,
in
the
ende
,
I
haue
brought
these
honorable
Families
descended
of
the
Lord
Wake
,
to
their
right
and
auncient
Auncestor
Gilbert
de
Gaunt
,
the
first
Earle
of
Lincolne
;
whom
you
would
haue
obscured
,
by
making
him
to
die
without
heires
male
,
he
hauing
issue
two
sonnes
,
as
before
in
this
place
I
haue
mentioned
.
THis
Countie
of
Lyncolne
boasteth
of
her
Earles
(
after
Egga
,
FIrst
,
where
you
affirme
Symon
de
Sanctolice
to
haue
been
Earle
of
Lincolne
in
right
of
Alice
his
wife
,
daughter
of
Gilbert
de
Gaunt
Earle
of
Lincolne
:
I
denie
that
there
was
euer
any
of
the
Sanctolices
Earles
of
Lincolne
;
as
by
their
seuerall
deedes
extant
is
to
be
prooued
,
wherein
they
write
themselues
onely
Earles
of
Northampton
,
and
not
of
Lincolne
.
Secondly
,
you
say
,
that
Ranulph
of
Chester
the
second
,
maried
Lucy
the
mother
of
William
Romara
Earle
of
Lincolne
,
and
begot
on
her
Ranulph
,
who
succeeded
his
father
in
the
Earledome
of
Chester
,
and
obtayned
of
Henrie
the
third
the
Earldome
of
Lincolne
.
In
which
saying
,
you
haue
brought
your selfe
into
a
laborinth
of
errours
:
for
,
if
you
meane
(
by
second
)
the
second
Earle
of
Chester
,
his
name
was
Richard
,
and
not
Ranulph
.
If
by
that
word
(
second
)
you
meane
the
second
of
that
name
;
the
second
Ranulph
maried
not
Lucy
,
but
Alice
,
the
daughter
of
Robert
Earle
of
Glocester
,
and
had
issue
by
her
Hugh
▪
Againe
,
if
you
confesse
that
you
mistooke
the
thirde
Earle
for
the
second
,
and
so
meant
Ranulph
the
first
to
haue
been
the
same
that
married
Lucy
,
Mother
to
William
Romara
,
and
begot
on
her
the
second
Ranulph
,
whom
king
Henrie
the
third
made
Earle
of
Lincolne
:
that
is
impossible
to
be
true
,
that
the
second
Ranulph
should
be
made
Earle
of
Lincolne
by
king
Henrie
the
third
,
he
being
dead
almost
an
hundred
yeeres
before
the
said
king
came
vnto
the
Crowne
.
But
to
helpe
you
out
of
this
perplexitie
,
and
that
your selfe
,
and
others
may
be
warned
for
falling
into
the
like
errour
hereafter
,
I
will
set
you
downe
what
I
finde
by
Recorde
and
Euidences
touching
the
same
;
which
is
,
that
Ranulph
the
first
of
that
name
,
and
thirde
Earle
of
Chester
,
had
issue
the
second
Ranulph
&
fourth
Earle
of
Chester
(
halfe
brother
to
William
de
Romara
)
who
married
Alice
daughter
to
Robert
Earle
of
Glocester
,
otherwise
called
the
Consull
;
and
had
issue
Hugh
the
fift
Earle
of
Chester
,
father
of
Ranulph
the
sixt
,

last
Earle
of
Chester
of
that
familie
:
vnto
whom
Henrie

thirde
gaue
the
Earledome
of
Lincolne

And
for

it
was
this
last
Ranulph

FRom
Lincolne

COncerning

is

Camme
from
your
wordes
before

tytle
of

Pag.

for
there
you
affirme
Bauldwyn
Ryduers
to
be
made
the
first
Earle
of
Deuonshire
,
by
king
Henrie
the
first
:
And
now
in

,
you
make
Richard
father
of
the
said
Bauldwyn
,
to
be
first
Earle
of
Deuon
in

kinges
time
:
which
Richard
must
needes
be
vnderstood

Richard

in

what

may
any
geue

WHat
thankes
you
looke
for

I
know
not
:
but
well
assured
I
am
in
this
place
,
as
in
many
others
,
you
haue
deserued
none
:
for
few
or
none
of
the
Noble
Families
,
with
whom
you
haue
had
to
deale
with
,
or
to
write
off
,
but
that
you
haue
iniured
them
in
some
one
poynt
or
other
.
And
now
that
we
are
come
to
speake
of
the
last
Peter
Bruse
Baron
of
Skelton
,
who
dyed
.
14.
Kalendes
of
October
,
1273.
I
pray
you
let
vs
examine
a
little
that
honorable
the
Lord
Lumley
his
discent
;
whom
(
in
your
owne
conceipt
)
you
haue
made
much
beholding
vnto
you
,
for
adding
to
him
one
Auncestor
(
such
as
I
dare
boldly
say
)
neither
he
,
nor
any
other
as
yet
euer
knew
or
heard
of
;
I
meane
Walter
Twenge
,
who
(
you
say
)
married
Lucy
the
sister
and
coheire
of
Peter
Bruse
Baron
of
Skelton
,
&
was
Auncestor
to
the
now
Baron
of
Lumley
.
But
that
you
may
the
better
reforme
this
,
with
many
other
your
faultes
,
I
will
for
your
better
instruction
,
manifest
vnto
you
the
name
,
&
true
husband
of
the
said
Luce
:
which
was
,
Marmaduke
Twenge
,
a
noble
Baron
in
king
Edward
the
first
his
time
:
who
died
in
the
Kalendes
of
March
.
1284.
and
was
buried
by
his
said
wife
Lucia
in
the
Church
of
Gwisborne
,
founded
by
Robert
Bruse
the
Norman
,
his
wiues
Auncestor
.
1129.
DAnby
came
from
the
successors
of
Walter
Twenge
to
the
Latymers
,
THat
Danby
was
the
possession
of
Walter
Twenge
,
and
that
from
his
successors
it
came
to
the
Latymers
,
who
were
after
Barons
of
Danby
,
I
answere
(
as
before
in
the
title
of
Skelton
)
.
That
there
was
neuer
anie
such
Walter
yet
borne
;
and
then
no
such
successors
of
his
could
carrie
the
same
to
the
Latymers
,
as
you
verie
vntruly
haue
heere
set
downe
:
for
proofe
hereof
,
I
referre
me
to
the
iudgement
of
the
honorable
Lord
Lumley
himselfe
;
who
hath
this
discent
most
exactly
set
downe
by
that
worthy
and
late
Officer
of
Armes
,
Sommerset
Herault
.
And
to
the
other
,
That
Ralph
Neuell
Earle
of
Westmerland
,
did
purchase
the
said
inheritance
and
honour
,
of
Iohn
Lord
Latymer
of
Danby
,
for
his
younger
sonne
George
:
I
graunt
for
true
,
that
he
purchased
the
Landes
,
but
not
the
dignitie
:
for
Iohn
Neuill
that
solde
the
said
landes
,
had
no
fee
simple
in
the
dignitie
to
sell
but
onely
an
estate
for
tearme
of
life
:
therefore
can
you
not
rightly
say
that
Ralph
Neuill
Earle
of
Westmerland
,
did
purchase
the
dignitie
which
George
his
sonne
enioyed
.
But
more
agreeable
to
the
trueth
had
it
been
,
if
you
had
said
,
that
George
sonne
of
Ralph
Neuill
in
regarde
that
he
had
the
Landes
whereof
the
dignitie
of
Latymer
was
erected
,
obtained
the
honour
by
the
Kinges
free
gyft
and
fauour
,
otherwise
that
title
and
dignitie
had
been
extinct
:
for
seldome
shall
you
finde
,
that
the
Kinges
of
this
Realme
did
euer
create
or
inuest
any
into
a
Baronie
,
which
tooke
the
name
of
dignitie
from
an
others
peculiar
place
of
inheritance
or
possession
.
THe
Barony
of
Burford
(
descended
from
the
posteritie
of
Theodericke
I
Doe
much
pittie
you
,
that
in
such
high
sayles
of
learning
,
you
should
haue
so
little
ballace
of
discretion
:
You
haue
a
great
facilitie
,
and
a
rare
gift
in
the
creating
and
making
of
Barons
with
the
dash
of
your
penne
:
But
it
argueth
how
shallow
you
are
in
the
true
definition
of
a
Baron
,
in
that
you
will
publish
in
print
that
the
familie
of
Cornwalles
were
Barons
of
Burford
;
you
being
not
able
euer
to
make
proofe
of
any
one
of
them
,
to
haue
had
that
dignitie
.
Notwithstanding
,
diuers
of
that
surname
haue
been
Knightes
:
of
which
number
,
king
Henrie
the
sixt
did
erect
Sir
Iohn
Cornwall
to
be
a
Baron
,
and
Peere
of
this
Realme
,
by
the
name
and
title
of
Lord
Fanhope
:
which
Iohn
,
was
both
the
first
and
last
Baron
of
that
familie
;
and
therefore
it
standeth
now
with
your
credite
,
to
make
proofe
of
these
your
Barons
of
Burford
:
which
,
I
thinke
,
wil
be
too
hard
and
difficult
a
matter
for
you
to
doe
.
KIng
Stephen
made
Walleron
Earle
of
Millent
(
brother
to
IS
it
possible
?
or
,
do
you
thinke
to
perswade
any
senscible
man
to
beleeue
,
that
this
late
borne
Britannia
was
of
your
owne
collection
?
(
you
as
it
seemeth
,
not
vnderstanding
the
same
.
)
No
,
assure
yourselfe
:
for
who
knoweth
not
,
that
the
contentes
thereof
are
neither
taught
,
nor
learned
amongst
children
in
Schooles
,
and
your selfe
neuer
employed
els
where
to
attaine
the
knowledge
thereof
.
Many
learned
,
thinke
it
more
fitter
you
had
waded
within
the
compasse
of
your
owne
profession
and
knowledge
,
in
which
your
errours
would
not
so
apparently
haue
been
descried
,
as
heere
they
are
.
In
this
Title
of
Earles
of
Worcester
,
you
make
Walleron
to
be
the
first
Earle
of
Worcester
:
and
that
his
issue
did
depart
this
Realme
to
their
auncient
patrimonie
in
Normandie
:
By
which
,
if
it
were
true
,
then
were
there
none
of
that
progenie
to
be
looked
for
heere
in
this
Realme
of
England
(
to
the
great
preiudice
of
many
honorable
Families
descended
of
the
said
Walleron
.
)
But
to
reforme
this
your
errour
,
I
wish
you
to
vnderstande
that
the
foresaid
Walleron
,
had
issue
Robert
Earle
of
Millent
,
Worcester
,
and
Lord
of
Ponttadomara
:
which
Robert
did
remaine
heere
in
England
,
and
maried
an
English
woman
named
Mauld
,
Lady
of
Estrumenister
,
Moreys
,
and
Rydlestone
;
And
by
her
had
issue
Henrie
,
Peter
,
Mabell
,
and
Mary
:
the
two
sonnes
,
and
the
youngest
daughter
,
dying
without
issue
;
Mabell
the
eldest
daughter
,
was
married
to
William
de
Vernon
,
alias
Ryduers
▪
Earle
of
Deuonshire
;
and
had
issue
Bauldwyn
Earle
of
Deuonshire
,
and
Mary
,
first
married
vnto
Sir
Robert
Courteney
,
by
whom
she
had
issue
:
(
of
whom
all
the
Courteneys
are
descended
:
)
After
she
married
Peter
de
Prouz
,
a
noble
Gentleman
of
Deuon
:
to
which
Peter
,
the
said
Robert
Earle
of
Millent
and
Worcester
,
did
by
his
deede
giue
in
franke
marriage
with
the
said
Marie
his
grand-child
,
the
third
part
of
all
his
Land
in
England
;
and
vnto
Bauldwin
his
gran-child
(
by
his
daughter
Mabell
)
all
his
Land
in
Normandie
,
with
the
Mannors
of
Estrumenister
,
Moreyes
,
and
Riddleston
in
England
.
So
that
heere
you
are
not
onely
found
to
faile
in
your
affirmation
,
that
there
was
not
any
Earle
of
Worcester
betweene
the
said
Walleron
in
King
Stephens
time
,
and
Thomas
Percy
,
who
had
that
dignitie
of
Richard
the
second
:
But
also
,
in
saying
his
issue
returned
to
their
auncient
Patrimonie
in
Normandie
;
when
it
is
manifest
that
his
sole
heire
continued
here
,
and
left
issue
:
of
whom
are
discended
many
of
our
noble
Families
at
this
present
.
THe
first
Lord
of
Gillesland
,
was
William
Meschines
,
AS
you
did
begin
at
the
first
,
so
haue
you
in
your
Booke
continued
vnto
the
ende
,
making
to
some
Nobles
vnnaturall
mariages
,
and
to
others
vnlawfull
issue
.
In
this
place
,
you
haue
made
the
sonne
to
be
brother
to
his
owne
father
,
by
affirming
William
Meschines
Lord
of
Gillesland
,
to
be
brother
to
Ranulph
Earle
of
Carlell
.
And
to
prooue
that
the
saide
William
was
sonne
of
Ranulph
Earle
of
Carlell
,
and
not
his
brother
,
I
will
first
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
reader
hereof
,
set
downe
a
briefe
of
the
said
Williams
discent
,
beginning
at
Hugh
Lupus
his
vncle
,
the
first
Earle
of
Chester
,
whose
sister
Margaret
was
married
to
Ranulph
Earle
of
Carlell
,
and
by
him
had
issue
two
sonnes
,
Ranulph
the
first
of
that
name
,
and
thirde
Earle
of
Chester
;
and
William
Mischines
Lord
of
Gilleslande
:
and
that
this
is
true
which
heere
I
haue
incerted
,
reade
this
Deede
following
:
which
done
,
I
trust
you
will
not
onely
recant
your
errour
,
but
also
acknowledge
from
whence
you
haue
receaued
the
trueth
hereof
.
