The Visitation contained in the following pages was made by-
Robert Glover, Somerset Herald, as deputy to his father-in-
law, William Flower, Norroy King of Arms.

Glover, who was made Somerset Herald in 1571, was born
at Ashford in Kent in 1543. Erdeswick styles him " the
only sufficient man in his time for armorye and descents in
this land," and Sir William Dugdale considered him " the best
Herald that did ever belong to the office." So high was his
reputation for professional skill and unwearied attention, that
the contemporary provincial Kings of Arms sent him on several
occasions to visit the counties in their marches ; and, besides
Staffordshire, he either visited or assisted in the Visitatioi] s of
the several counties of Chester, Derby, Durham, Lancaster,
Northumberland, and York. But his " Somer too soone set,"
for he died at the early age of forty-five in 1588.

The manuscript from which the Visitation here printed is
transcribed is a small folio in the William Salt Library, which
I have ventured to designate " The Stukeley MS."

It has a somewhat curious history. Inside the cover is
written in a large bold hand :

" Wm Stukeley.

This book I redeem'd

from a shop where

it was to be used

as waste paper,

1756,

and giveu to Eabdley Wilmot."

This is the handwriting of the learned antiquary Dr. Wil-
liam Stukeley, who was born in 1687, and died in 1765.
On the flyleaf is the autograph of " John Eardley Wilmot,
July 1811 ;" and inside the cover are pasted two armorial
bookplates of the Wilmot family, viz., " Sir John Eardley

b 2

Vlll INTRODUCTION.

Wilmot, Knt., London," and "JohnEardley Wilmot, Berkswell
Hall."

From the Wilmots the manuscript passed into the posses-
sion of William Hamper, F.S.A., from whose representatives
it was acquired by Mr. Salt.

By whom or when this MS. was written I am unable to say;
but a pencil note by Mr. Hamper, dated 1817, states that it
" evidently belonged to Win. Booth, of Witton, Esq. (the
friend of Dug-dale), from his notes in various parts of it."
This William Booth was an eminent barrister and a noted
antiquary. Dugdale, in his " Warwickshire," speaks of him as
" a gentleman so well affected to antiquities that by his
judicious observation of sundry notable things concerning this
part of the countie (which with much freenesse he hath im-
parted toward this present work) he deserves a better acknow-
ledgment from me than by a few words can be expressed."
Hamper (" Life of Dugdale," p. 1 25) states that he had retrieved
a few of Mr. Booth's collections (this very MS. being no doubt
one of the few), but that he had sought in vain for one of his
volumes, entitled " Descents of some gentlemen, and others
our neighbours, in and about Birmingham, set down by me
William Booth, of the Middle Temple, London, according to
the best intelligence I could have from old men, and from
notes and papers which concern others in our study, 1641."
Shaw, the historian of Staffordshire, found this MS. in the
possession of Erasmus Darwin of Derby in 1791, and from it
copied the (not quite accurate) pedigree of Stamford of Perry
Hall given in his second volume, p. 109.*

The original, or office copy, of Glover's Visitation of Staf-
fordshire had in Dugdale's time " long been purloined from
the office." But Noblef asserts that the true original, " written
by Somerset at the time of the Visitation, and signed by those
gentlemen who gave him information relative to their families,"
is in the library of Queen's College, Oxford.

Noble's work has been described by a competent judge as
" careless and inaccurate," and he himself as a " perpetual

* In the College of Arms is a quarto volume of pedigrees in the handwriting of
Nicholas Charles, Lancaster Herald, with additions by Mr. Booth. At the
beginning is written, " William Booth of Witton his book, 1660."

blunderer." But in this case he is generally allowed to be
correct.

The MS. to which he refers has every appearance of being
the original, and if the signatures* are not genuine they are
very clever imitations. With this volume the Stukeley MS.
agrees in almost every particular. But in order to perfect his
MS. Mr. Salt caused it to be carefully collated with the
reputed original; several missing pedigrees were supplied,f
and all variations noted. The gentleman employed in this
work was Mr. Thorpe, who speaks of the Queen's College MS.
as " Glover's original Visitation, in an old vellum binding."
Mr. Thorpe's notes upon this and several other manuscript
copies of the Visitation are in the William Salt Library, and
will be more particularly referred to in the sequel.

The first entire Visitation ever published was that of
Durham taken by Flower (assisted by Glover) in 1575. This was
issued in 1820, and is noticed in the " Gentleman's Magazine "
for that year (July, p. 45). The reviewer describes it as "a
perfect novelty in the annals of genealogical literature." For,
says he, " notwithstanding that several copies of these records
are extant both in our public and private libraries, they have
never yet been made accessible through the medium of the
press." This was followed in the same year by the Durham
Visitation of 1615 (of which only 50 copies were printed), and
by the Visitation of Middlesex in 1663. Since then a goodly
number of these records have been printed, the Harleian
Society alone having issued sixteen volumes, which, with two
exceptions, are, or purport to be, County Visitations. The
Surtees Society has issued Tonge's " Visitation of the Northern
Counties in 1530," and Dugdale's valuable "Visitation of
Yorkshire in 1665-6;" and the Chetham Society has placed in
the hands of its subscribers four Visitations of Lancashire. In
addition to these, we have the Visitations of Yorkshire in 1584

* I may here note that in the Stukeley MS. the signatures attached to the
several pedigrees do not in all cases agree with the original. For example, in the
former MS. the Endesore pedigree is signed " Richard Endesore," and that of
Wyrley "John Wyrley." Mr. Thorpe has noted all these variations, and the
several signatures here printed are as in the original.

f The pedigrees thus supplied are Ashenhurst, p. 35 ; Aston, p. 37 ; Biddulph,
p. 50 ; Giffard, p. 81 ; Hawkes, p. 97 ; Himiett, p. 99 ; Noel (" ex chartis "), p. 119 ;
K-udyerd, p. 126; and Somerford, p. 131.

and 1612, edited by Mr. Joseph Foster; those of Suffolk in
1561, 1577, and 1612, edited by Mr. Metcalfe; and several
others.

It must, however, be admitted that some of these publica-
tions, though of considerable value as collections of county
pedigrees, are not precisely what they claim to be. They are
copied as a rule from some MS. in the Harleian Library,
which, though purporting to be a Visitation of a certain
county on such a date, often contains the result of two Visita-
tions combined and amalgamated ; and in some cases is so full
of additions and continuations by " other hands " that (to use
Wanley's words) " it is no easy matter to shew what belongs
to the Visitation and what not." On the other hand some of
these MSS. contain but a selection of the descents given in
the original, and these but mere abstracts or outlines. For
example, the Harl. MS. 6104 is stated to contain Dugdale's
Visitations of Staffordshire in 1663-4, and of Derbyshire in
16G2-3 ; but a comparison of the MS., with the original Visita-
tions remaining in the College of Arms, will reveal innumerable
errors both of omission and commission. And yet the latter
portion of this MS. has been recently published under the title
of "The Visitation of Derbyshire, taken in 1662, and reviewed
in 1663, by William Dugdale," which, with every respect for
its learned editor, I humbly conceive to be an unfortunate
mistake. Again, the "Visitation of Lancashire in 1664-5,"
published by the Chetham Society, contains towards the end
much matter quite foreign to the Visitation. The pedigree of
Trafford, for instance, ascends to Saxon times, whereas in
Dugdale's original it goes back only to the grandfather of the
then head of the family. This, as the editor of a recent pub-
lication of the Chetham Society points out, " cannot fail to be
very misleading," since it gives the sanction of the great
name of Dugdale to a composition in which he had no hand.

I ought perhaps to apologise for these critical remarks as
being somewhat out of place ; but I have made them, not for
the purpose of unkindly criticising these valuable publications,
but to draw attention to what I have already ventured to call
an unfortunate mistake, and more especially to explain why,
though there are numerous manuscripts in existence by the

INTRODUCTION. xi

aid of which many of the pedigrees contained in the following
pages might be amplified and extended, I have, in professing
to print Glover's Visitation, given nothing but that Visitation,
and have carefully avoided all " continuations " and " enlarge-
ments," except in a few instances (and they are all noted)
in which I have utilized the information supplied by the
"HathertonMS." •

By this name I refer to a transcript in the William Salt
Library (made by Mr. James Broughton) of a manuscript
belonging to Lord Hathertoh. This MS. purports to be a copy
of Glover's Visitation, but, like most of the so-called copies, it
contains much additional matter. It is identical — even in its
errors — with John Withie's " Copie of the Visitation book of
Staffordshire made in 1583 " (Harl. MS. 1077), which is dated
1621. Mr. Broughton wrote an account of this volume in the
"Gentleman's Magazine" for September 1829 (p. 212); and in
the Preface to his transcript he suggests that his original " is
in the handwriting of Sampson Erdeswick and his amanuensis
Wyrley." But he gives no reasons for this opinion, and it is
manifest from internal evidence that the MS. is of a more
recent date than he supposes.

In addition to the pedigrees, the Queen's College and
Stukeley MSS. contain numerous extracts from old deeds and
charters, and tricks of seals illustrating the descents and arms
of the families whose genealogies are recorded. These I have
omitted, and personally I regret the omission. But it has been
considered that these documents would be more fittingly in-
troduced into the Staffordshire Chartulary commenced in the
second volume of these Collections. I have also omitted some
preliminary matter, such as extracts from " Domesday," the
" Liber Rubeus," and sundry other documents which have been
already printed either by the Record Commissioners or by
Shaw, or have been made public in other ways. I should also
add that I am alone responsible for the alphabetical arrange-
ment of the pedigrees. They are not so arranged in my
original, but, besides the obvious utility of such an arrano-e-
ment for purposes of reference, there are several cogent reasons
(with which I need not trouble the reader) which have influ-
enced me. On pages xix and xx, however, will be found a

Xll INTRODUCTION.

list of the pedigrees in the order in which they are given in
the original.

An examination of the list of those summoned by Glover to
appear before him and record their descents (pp. 3-11) will
shew that 204 persons, or about 183 heads of families, were
ordered to put in an appearance. Of these forty-seven were
" Ignobiles,"* and were "disclaimed," together with some who
in the list are styled "gentlemen." Some were " extra com."
or "hors du pays," that is out of the jurisdiction of the
visiting Herald, or absent and unable to appear. Making due
allowance for all these, it follows that at least forty heads of
families made default, or, as Glover would term it, " disobedi-
ently and contemptuously " refused to appear before him ; and
these defaulters bore such well-known names as Congreve,
Wolseley, Sneyd, Fowke, Lane, Kynnersley, Draycott, Chet-
wynd, Stanley, Skeffington, Swynfen, etc., etc.f

With regard to this last-named family Edmund Lodge,
Lancaster Herald (writing in 1797), remarks how strange it is
that the Swynfens of Swynfen should have neglected to enter
their pedigree in any of the Staffordshire Visitations; and
tenfold more strange (he adds) that Dugdale, the son of
Elizabeth Swynfen, should have nowhere given any further
account of this his mother's family than the mere names of her
father and grandfather.

The late Mr. J. G. Nichols, in noticing the Lancashire
Visitations published by the Chetham Society, observes that
though it is a decided testimony to the antiquity of a family
that it should appear in a Visitation, yet its absence is not a
positive proof to the contrary. There is (he continues) an
amount of accident as to the admission or omission of families

* " Nohiles" says Coke, "sunt qui arma gentilicia anticessorum suorum proferre
possunt." By the word ignobilis the Heralds simply meant " not entitled to bear
arms," or, as it is sometimes expressed in English, " no gentleman."

t When Sir W. Dugdale visited Yorkshire in 1665-6 nearly one-third of the
whole number of gentry whom he called upon to appear before him with proofs of
their arms and pedigrees treated his summonses with neglect. In the Preface to
the printed Visitation a list of the persons who were contumacious is given, and in
this list may lie recognised a few of the well-known ancient gentry of the county,
besides many headjs of families whose descendants at this day would have rejoiced
had 1 bey then placed their pedigrees on record. There will also be found a long
list of defaulters at the same Herald's Visitation of Lancashire, 1664-5, in the
Introduction to the Chetham Society's printed copy.

INTRODUCTION. Xlll

in the Visitation books. Ormerod has remarked that the very
ancient family of Hulton of Hulton is entered only in the first
and last Visitations of Lancashire, and that of Gerard of Bryn
in none.

Some men, no doubt, were too proud to have their ancient
standing brought at all into question, or to allow that it
required recognition. Others were altogether careless and in-
different, and their tastes were for very different objects.
Others would be absent from home at the time of the Heralds'
circuit ; or, if summoned to attend them at a neighbouring
town, were possibly prevented by illness, or indisposed by
domestic sorrow and trouble.*

With regard to the degree of credit to be attached to
Visitation pedigrees, the same writer remarks that the Visita-
tions stand in the position of a witness at a trial, supposed to
be the person best informed upon the subject of inquiry, but
who may be mistaken from defect of memory or other accidental
circumstances. Still, he adds, such evidence, collected by
officers whose business it was to gather the truth, must at
least be important, if not always authoritative, and of course
all the more worthy of credit, so far as it is contemporaneous,
or nearly so, with the facts related. f

The principal authority possessed by the Visitation books is
undoubtedly the signature of the head of the family therein
recorded. But it is notorious that subscribers frequently
attached their names to most defective and imperfect genea-
logies— genealogies from which the maiden and even christian
names of their own wives and mothers are frequently absent ;
and though it must be admitted that the visiting Herald was
in a great measure dependent on the individual who furnished
the information, yet surely he should be held responsible for
these frequent omissions of names and facts which, it is
obvious, the person who entered the pedigree could easily
supply. One of many examples of this strange and unaccount-
able carelessness will be found in the descent of Arblaster in
this Visitation. Thomas Arblaster, who signed this pedigree,
must at least have known his mother's name ; and his father,

* " Herald and Genealogist, vii., p. 47.

XIV INTRODUCTION.

who was then living, could assuredly, if asked, have supplied
further information. Of course this is by no means a solitary
instance of such a state of things, but I am not aware that
any satisfactory explanation of the astonishing ignorance
apparently displayed by the subscribers of Visitation pedigrees
— or the extreme carelessness of the Herald who recorded
them — has yet been offered. The Heralds were enjoined by
the Eoyal Commission under which all their Visitations were
made, not only to " peruse and take knowledge " of " all
manner of Arms," etc., but also to take " notes of the descents,
pedigrees, and marriages " of the " nobiles " in their provinces.
Yet it seems to me that as a rule they paid far more attention
to the former than the latter ; and provided that a right
to arms was satisfactorily established, they did not trouble
themselves to ascertain, even by oral testimony, the names or
parentage of females who, being neither heiresses nor co-
heiresses, were not in a position to transmit their armorial
insignia to posterity.

In the College of Arms there are three copies (so called)
of Glover's Visitation, which collectively contain a vast deal of
additional and indeed extraneous matter. These are Dugdale's
own copy, Vincent's, and a volume called E.D.N. 13.

The first-named manuscript is in Dugdale's own hand-
writing. I here copy its instructive titlepage: "A Copye of
the Visitation of Staffordshire made by William Flower, Norroy
King of Armes, in A0 mdlxxxiii (the Originall having been
long since purloyned* out of this Office) : which Copye was
taken from a Transcript thereof sometimes belonging to
Edward Gwynn, late of FurnivalPs Inne, in Com' MiddP (but
now in the Library of William Pierpoint, of Thoresby, in
Com' ISTott' Esq1"), by William Dugdale, Esq1', Norroy King of
Armes, and given unto this Society vj° Maij, mdclxviii. In
which transcript, though there be divers errors and mistakes ;
yet considering that the Originall is thus lost, it was thought
better thus to preserve a Copye, wdl possibly may in time be
rectified, than to have nothing at all thereof." In addition to
the Visitation with its " errors and mistakes," the volume

* It is ratlier singular that the original of Glover's Visitation of Yorkshire in
1584 is also stated to have been " purloined " from the College.

INTRODUCTION. XV

contains a series of other pedigrees which Dugdale says did
not, in his opinion, form a part of the Visitation.

From the disappearance of the original until the year 1668,
therefore, the Heralds did not even possess a copy of this
Visitation. But on the death of Ralph Sheldon, of Beoley,
co. Worcester, in 1684, the College acquired under his will the
two other manuscripts above named, one of which (Vincent 133)
was, in the absence of the original, allowed to be put in evidence
in 1785 in a trial respecting the manor of Mere, as appears by
a note inserted in the volume by Francis Townsend, Windsor
Herald.

Other manuscripts in public and private, collections pur-
porting to be copies of this Visitation (most of which were
carefully examined and abstracts of their contents taken by
Mr. Thorpe) are : —

1. A copy in the library at Loxley Park, transcribed by

Captain Fernyhough.

2. A copy in the Bodleian Library, Oxford : Gough's

Staffordshire MSS., No. 1. This contains many
additional pedigrees, one dated 1750 and another
1752, and the Arms of Sir T. Broughton dated
1768.

3. A second copy in Queen's College library, Oxford.

4. Harl. MS. 818. A book in folio, containing, inter alia,

pedigrees from Glover's Visitation and from Erdes-
wick's Collections, written partly by Ralph Brooke
and partly by others.

5. Harl. MS. 1077. A folio MS., " the far greater part of

which was written and tricked a.d. 1621 by the
hand of John Withie, the arms painter." It is a
copy of Glover's Visitation, but has " many addi-
tions." This, as has been already stated, corresponds
nearly page by page with Lord Hatherton's MS.,
excepting the additions of which Wanley (Harl.
Catalogue) speaks, which are in another hand.
There are also inserted pedigrees of a later date :
inter alia, a pedigree of Mynors drawn up by John
Tilston in 1678, a pedigree of Foljambe " seeming
to be in the handwriting of Sir Henry St. George,"

XVI INTRODUCTION.

a pedigree of Nott of Cannock, and two pedigrees
of Leveson. It is noted in the Catalogue that
" Mr. Withie has transcribed the subscriptions of
the gentlemen at the bottom of their descents into
this book." It should be mentioned that the rota-
tion of the pedigrees in this MS. is quite different
to the Queen's College and Stukeley MSS.

6. Harl. MS. 1173. A transcript of Withie's book ; " but

it is to be noted that notwithstanding many gross
faults in this copy through the ignorance and care-
lessness of the copyiste, it is of value because of
many considerable additions made to it which are
wanting in Mr. Withie's book ; as Mr. Withie's
also has many recent additions inserted in it since
this transcript was made." (Wanley.)

7. Harl. MS. 1415. A folio volume, containing, besides the

Staffordshire Visitation, that of Yorkshire taken by
Glover in 1584-5. Wanley says he cannot be positive
as to who wrote this MS., "because it is known
that many officers of Arms wrote very like to one
another." In this MS. the last name in the list of
Staffordshire disclaimers is industriously blotted
out ; " the posterity or relations of him," writes
Wanley, "being perhaps grown ashamed of that
disclaiming." The name thus erased was " John
Coleman of Canke."

8. Harl. MS. 1429. Contains a few arms and memoranda

from Glover's Visitation ; also a few descents from
Dugdale's Visitation of 1663-4, inserted by John
Saunders. It also contains a so-called Visitation of
Hertfordshire, but this, says Wanley, is " a painter's
title," for arms painters (he adds) " when they see
a book of pedigrees relating to one county alone
usually call them Visitations without further exami-
nation."

9. Harl. MS. 1570. "Written and tricked by divers

hands ; more espescially by Mr. Nicholas Charles
and Mr. Eichard Mundy." It contains "a very
good copy " of Glover's Visitation, but with " very

INTRODUCTION. XV11

many enlargements and continuations by Richard
Mundy and others," and " some descents entered by
Mr. Mundy which were either not at all registered
at the Visitation of the County in 1583, or at least
not in so ample a manner."

10. Harl. MS. 6128. A very valuable collection of pedigrees

of Staffordshire families, which has been largely used
by genealogists and almost invariably quoted as
"The Visitation of 1583" — which it certainly is not.
Its date is circa 1620.

11. A copy referred to by Shaw (vol. 2, Introd., p. xxx) as

being then in the' possession of Mr. Sharpe "the

ingenious antiquary of Coventry." He describes

it as " a most curious copy of Glover's Visitation of

1583, transcribed by William Smith, Rouge Dragon,

1597, and illustrated with various additions by

Erdeswick, Rowland Frith [of Thornes, Shenstone]

the Herald, and others ; also a coloured map of the

county, and a later Visitation at the end."

In conclusion 1 desire to call special attention to Mr.

Parker's able article on the Wastineys family, and to express

a hope that it may be regarded as a precedent for similar

papers in illustration and correction of this Visitation.

What is to be performed by the heralds at their

Somerset's warrant, directed to the bailiff of the

Hundred of Cudleston, to summon the Esquires and

Gentlemen inhabiting within the said Hundred

to appear before him in order to the

enregistering of their several

arms and descents.

To John Berwike, baylif of the Hundred of Cudleston

in the countye of Stafforde, his Deputie or

Deputies.

These are to require you, and in the Queene's Majestie's

name to charge and commande you, that forthwth upon the

sight hereof you warne these Esq13 and Gent11 whose names

are hereunder written p'sonally to apeare before mee

Somersett, Marshall and Deputy to Norrey Kinge of Amies,

at Stafford on beinge the daye of ... .

at nyne of the clocke before Noone the same day, whereat I
doe intende to sytte for the better registeringe of all the
Gent, w'thin the sayde Hundred; and that they bringe
wth them such Armes and Creasts as they nowe use and
beare, wth their Pedigrees or Descentes, and such of theire
evidence or matter of record e and credite as may (if neede so
require) justifie the same : to the intent that I, knowinge
howe they use and chalenge the names of Esqr and Gentle-
man, and beare their Armes, may accordingly make
entrance therof and recorde the same ; or else to proceede
as the Vertue of my comissyon bindeth me in that behaulf .

Alsoe will such of them as have receaved either Armes,
Creasts, or Pedigrees of one WilPm Dakins,* the late lewde

* It would appear that this "lewde usurper" of Norroy's functions was a
member of the family formerly seated at Stubbing Edge, in Derbyshire. For Mr.
Glover, in his " History of Derbyshire," mentions a tablet in Ashover Church in
memory of sundry Dakeynes of Stubbing, and among those commemorated is
" Gulielmus Dakeyne, Norroy." Dallaway (" Heraldic Inquiries," p. 318) has printed
a copy of a "Warrant issued in 1597 by the then Earl Marshal directing the appre-
hension of this man. He is described as "a notable dealer in Armes, and maker of
false pedigrees," for which fault (it is added) " about xx years past he lost one of
his ears, and about a year past he was apprehended for the like and imprisoned."
It appears that Dakyns had compiled spurious pedigrees for nearly one hundred
families, and that his son Christopher Dakyns, and one Edward Waterhouse — the
latter " falsely calling himself servant to Clurenceux " — had carried on a like
nefarious trade.

usurper of the office of Norrey Kinge of Armes, to bringe

founde justifiable, to receave the same at my handes wth war-
ran dize, as I am espetyally comanded by her Matie and the

And these that may not comodiously bringe wth them such

would serve to prove the antiquitie of theire race and

honor or dignitye, as Esqr, or Gentleman, or other, as by her
Highnes' gratious l'res patentes and comission under the greate

the sayd Somersett, for the accomplishment of her Maties
desire, and furtherance of her Highnesse service that waye,
at this present makinge my survey wthin the Hundred
of Pirehill, in the county of Stafforde, have founde these
persons, whose names are hereunder written, preasumptuously,
wthout any ground or authoritie, to have usurped the name and
tytle of Gent, contrary to all righte and to the most auncient
custome of this lande, and to the usage of the lawe of Amies :
wch name and tytle they are by me admonished noe more from
henceforth to use or take upon them, upon such further paine
and perill as by the Earle Marshall of Englande is to be
inflicted or layde upon them. And for that purpose the
Sherife, and Clarkes of the Assises, and of the Peace, of this
Countie are by me to be admonished to forbeare herafter to
write or call them by that name and tytle ; wherof alsoe, as
my comission byndeth mee, I thought good hereby to advertise
all other her Maties good and lovinge subjects of this Hundred,
that as they tender her Highnes' pleasure and desire in this
behalf, they from henceforth shunne and avoyde the like, and
forbeare to use in any writinge or otherwise, the addityon of an

* Opposite this name in Harl. MS. 1429, is written, "This Gent, aproved
himselfe to he of good antiquity and of a good and auneient family." As the name
of Humphrey Wigbtwiok does not appear in the list of those summoned, Glover
would seem to have gone out of his way to brand him as " Ignobilis." The
Heralds sometimes made mistakes of this kind. At the Visitation of Derbyshire in
1611, Stephen Langsdon of Langsdon in that shire was disclaimed, but he was sub-
sequently admitted to be a gentleman and to have a right to arms. The following
certificate by St. George, Norroy (extracted from Harl. MS. 1470), so curiously
illustrates this subject that I make no apology for introducing it here: — "The
king's most excellent Matie being desirous that ye Gentry of his kingdom might be
preserved in every degree, estate, etc., and to that end hath given full power and
authority under the Greate Seale of England unto mee, Richard S' George, Norroy
King of Armes, not only to summon all the Gentlemen w'th in my Province, but also
to distinguish and make infamous by Proclamation all such as shall usurpe or take
upon thorn the name of Esquire or Gentleman without just authority. And
whereas Stephen Longsdon, of Longsdon, in co. Derby, appeared before me in my
Visitacon and disclaimed the title of a gentleman under his hand, as not knowing
how he might justifio the same, I proceeded against him according to my Com'ission.
Since wch tymo, he, making further inquiry, and finding that his Auncestors have
been of long time reputed Gentlemen and borne Amies, wch (as I am informed by
some of good sort in the Contrey) he is able to prove by evidence and other good
record, he hath desired me to aflirme his right and publish the same. "Wherefore
these are to make knowne unto all manner of p'sons whatsoever that the said
Stephen Langsdon may lawfully use and bear such Armes and Creasts as his
Auncestors have done before him, and as he may lawfully justifie ; And also that it
shal be lawful] for him to beare the name, title, and dignity of a Gentleman in such
manner and forme as any of his predecessors have done, or as he may lawfully
justifie. In witness whereof I the said Norroy King of Armes have sett to my
hand and seale of my office. Dated the xxth clay of November in the ixth yeare of
o'r Sovereigne Lord James by the grace of God King of Great Prittaign, Prance,
and Ireland. Rich : Sl George, Norroy King of Armes."

Banerez de Engleterre," and contains the arms of the said knights blazoned in
French and arranged under counties. Sir Harris Nicolas, under whose able editor-
ship the entire Roll was published in 1829, dates it between the second and seventh
years of Edward II. This, he says, is " manifest from internal evidence, and the
handwriting is undoubtedly of that age." The same Roll had been previously
printed by Sir Francis Pal grave in the volume of Parliamentary "Writs edited by

John de Chandose port de argent a une pile de gules ;' whereby it appeareth that
the said Roll was made in the time of Edward III." (Edit. 1844, p. 102.) From
this it appears that Erdeswick's copy was in blazon.

Somerie, the Erdingtons bore Azure, two lions passant or — the Somerie coat with
the colours reversed. In the Roll of temp. Edw. II., Sir Henry de Erdiugton
bears the coat within a border gules. And, according to Dugdale, Sir Giles de
Erdiugton, who died 49 Edw. III., bore for his arms a bend over his two lions.

t After this name in Harl. MS. 1570 is written " Finis E-otuli." And there is
really no doubt that the ancient Roll ends with Thomas Sutton, the succeeding
coats being of a much later date. Who Sir William Warter was I have not ascer-
tained, but Burke (" General Armory ") states that a similar coat was borne by a
Sir Wm. Warter temp. Henry VIII. The same writer ascribes this coat to Warter
or Walter of Cimdall, co. York, and it was allowed at the Visitation of Middlesex
in 1663 to William Walters of Edmonton, second son of Christopher Walters of
Cundall, co. York. The Walcots of Shropshire bear a somewhat similar coat.

§ The same coat was borne by Brome of Warwickshire. See the Visitation of
that county taken in 1619.

|| This is the coat of Spelman quartering Narborough as borne by the famous Sir
Henry Spelman of Narborough, co. Norfolk (5. 1562, ob. 1641). Gwillim (first
ed. 1611, p. 253) gives a cut of these arms, and says, " These coat-armors thus
marshalled are borne by Sir Henry Spelman, Knight, a man very studious, a
favourer of learning, and a careful preserver of antiquities." I have not been able
to discover any connection between this family and the county of Stafford.

f Theobald's, Herts, then the seat of the famous Lord Burleigh, but afterwards
the royal palace of King James I., who acquired it from Sir Eobert Cecil in ex-
change for Hatfield. We learn from a survey of crown lands, made in 1650 by the
Parliamentary Commissioners, that on the east side of the house was a cloister and
over it a long gallery, called the " Green Gallery," in which were " excellently well
painted" the arms of the noblemen and gentlemen in the "severall shires in
England."

and Frauncis Lee were Baylifes and Justices of Peace within
the libertyes therof, Frauncys Cradocke recorder of the sayde
Towne, likewise Justice of Peace w'thin the liberties therof; and
these whose names hereafter ensue were of the companie and
brotherhood of the same Towne that is to say : Mathew Cra-
docke, Thomas Whitby, Martyn Nowell, James Shirewood,
William Blackborne, John Homersley, Roberte Lee, Edmond
Blore, Richard Sterton, George Cradocke, Thomas Dorrington,
Edward Lee, Richard Cotton, William Morres, William Dun-
calf, Richard Dorington, and Willyam Phillippes.

The Seale of the Towne of Leichfeilde.

[Here is a trick of the Seal.~\

The Cittie of Lichfeilde, in the Countye of Stafforde, is in-
corporated by the name of Baylifes, Burgesses, Cittizens, and
the Commonaltye of the same Cyttie, by the noble prince of
famous memorye Kinge Edwarde the Sixth, in the firste yeare
of his Raigne. And at the tyrne of this present Visitac'on of
Staffordshire were Baylifes therof, John Chatterton and
Humfrey Ilsley ; and John Blounte was sherife. And these,
whose names doe herafter followe, were then Citizens and of
the Corporation of the same Cittye, that is to saye : Humfrey
Lowe, Nicholas Birde, James Weston, John Feckenam, George
Bagshawe, Walter Whitwicke, Thomas Tewe, John Walkelate,
George Holmes, Humfrey Madocke, John Burnes, Will'm
Baylie, John Byrde, Henry Hanson, Roger Perkins, John
Lovate, Rob'te Dale, Symon Byddulle, John Anrpe, Kenelmus
Hawkes, Richard Burwaye, Richard Otteley, and James
Cruchley. Moreover Thomas Edgerton esqr Solliciter to the
Queene's Matlc was then Recorder, and Richarde Broughton
was Stewerde of the libertyes of the same Cittye.

The Com'on Seale of the Burgh of Newcastle under Lyne.

[Here is a trick of the 8eal.~\

The Towne and Burgh of Newcastle under Lyne is antyently
encorporated by Kinge H. 3, Kinge of Ingland an0 reg' sui 19
by the name of Mayor and Burgeses ; wherof was mayor at the

The doubtful arms of Staffordshire.

[The ensuing list does not appear in the Stukeley MS. nor
in the (presumed) Original, but it is given in Lord Hatherton's
MS. and several other copies of the Visitation. It no doubt
contains those coats which were disallowed or " respited" by
Glover. I here print it from the Harl. MS. 1570, where, as
the Harleian Catalogue has it, the arms are " hastily tricked
within printed escocheons." It is there headed, "Here be-
ginneth the doubtfull Armes of Staffordshire."]

difference.

* An evident interpolation, for Sir Simon was not a knight in 1583, and his
father, James Weston, was then living. The latter made his will in 1589, and
therein names his son James, then under twenty-four years of age, and his son and
heir Simon. It may he here mentioned that the elaborate pedigree of Weston
printed in Harwood's " Erdeswiek " was fabricated in 1632 for Eichard, Lord
Weston, then Lord Treasurer of England. (Vide Mr. Chester- Waters's " Memoirs
of the Chesters of Chicheley.") It should be added that Sir Simon does not appear
in the lists of doubtful coats given in Lord Hatherton's MS. and in the Harl.
MSS. 1077, 1173.

* In the presumed original (Queen's College MS.) this pedigree is crossed out;
and, as will have been seen (ante, p. 15), John Ashenhurst of Ashenhurst was
publicly disclaimed at Uttoxeter. This John died Oct. 20, 1597, and has a brass in
Leek Church, whereon are represented the following arms : Or, a cockatrice, the
tail terminating in a serpent's head and nowed sable, the comb, wattles, and head
gules, in the beak a sprig vert. Crest : A cockatrice as in the arms. According to
the Harl. MS. 1570, these bearings were granted by Dethick, Garter, in 1603,
perhaps for the special purpose of being placed on this monument. There is a
drawing of the brass in Mr. Sleigh's "History of Leek," facing p. 73.

* This is a mistake. Margery Staunton was daughter of John Stanley, son and
heir of Sir John and Maude. (See Shaw under Elford, and also the pedigree of
Brooke of Haselor in this Visitation, post, page 57.) The pedigree given in Lord
Hatherton's MS. is more complete than the above, and includes the issue and
descendants of Sir Humphrey Stanley of Pipe. According to that pedigree, Sir
John Stanley (son of Sir Thomas by the heiress of Arderne) had two sons, John of
Elford, and Humphrey of Pipe. The former had issue (by Elizabeth his wife)
three daughters, his coheiresses, viz. : Maud, married to William Ferrers of Tarn-
worth ; Anne, married to Christopher Savage of Worcestershire ; and Margery,
wife of William Staunton. William Perrers is no doubt an error, for, according to
Dugdale's " Warwickshire," and the Visitation of that county taken in 1619, it was
Sir John Perrers of Tamworth who married Maud Stanley. Sir Humphrey Stanley
" of the Pype " (continues the pedigree) married Ellen, daughter of Sir James Lee
of Stone, and by her had issue three sons and two daughters, viz. : (1) Sir John of
the Pype, who was father, by Margaret his wife, daughter of Sir Thomas Gerard, of
two daughters and coheirs, viz., Isabel, married to Walter Moyle of Kent (and
had a daughter and heiress Mary, married to [Erasmus] Heveningham), and
Elizabeth, wife of Sir John Hercy of Grove, Notts; (2) William Stanley, who
married [Margaret], daughter of [Thomas] Comberford, and had issue an only
child Dorothy, married to Christopher Heveningham ; (3) Humphrey Stanley,
" parson of Clyfton." The daughters were, Maud, wife of Thomas Wolverston, and
Alice, wife of Thomas Swinnerton. According to Poster's " Lancashire Pedigrees,"
Sir John Stanley's first wife was Matilda (Maud), by whom he was father of John
of Elford, and Humphrey of Pipe ; his second was Isabella, daughter of Sir Richard
Vernon, by whom he had three daughters, Alice, Isabel, and Catherine ; and his
third wife was Dulcia, daughter of ... . Legh, by whom he had a son lloger.

With regard to the two Heveningham matches named above, it is observable
that, according to the Visitation of Staffordshire taken in 1614 (Harl. MS. 1439),
Erasmus Heveningham had issue by the " da. & heire of .... Moyle " a son
Christopher, who married Dorothy, " da. of .... Stanley," that is to say that
Christopher Heveningham married (if this pedigree be correct) the daughter of his
great-grandfather's brother. This is stated (Erdeswick, p. 41) to be " not impossible
as to dates," and it appears that Isabella Moyle was but thirty-five years older than
her grandson.

There is an able article on the Stanleys, Pipes, etc., of Elford and Clifton-
Campville (signed with the well-known initials " S. P. W."), in the second volume
of the " Topographer." Vide also Shaw, i., 354, where this article is extensively
cpuoted.

* The Genealogists are silent as to this second marriage of Isabel Nevill with
Sir William Smith. Her first husband was Sir William Huddleston, Knt., and he
acquired with her the manor and estate of Sawston in Cambridgeshire, still enjoyed
by the family. By her Sir William was father of the Richard Huddleston, named
above, who married the daughter of his stepfather by his first wife, Anne Staunton,
The marriage of Sir William Smith with Isabel, " unius hseredum Johannis Nevyle,
militis, Marchionis de Monteacuto," is asserted on his monument at Elford, and she
is stated to have died October 12, 1516.

t Shaw (i., 388) asserts that this John Brooke was the son of Sir Robert Brooke
of Lapley, Knt., who died 1 Ed. VI. (1547). Harwood, in his notes to Erdeswiek
(edit. 1844, p. 458), repeats Shaw's mistake, and further complicates the pedigree by
ignoring altogether the existence of Robert, who entered and signed this pedigree.
"John Brooke" (he says) "died 1 June, 13 Eliz. (1571), and was succeeded by
William Brooke his son, who died in 1641." The AVilliam Brooke to whom he here
refers was really the " 2 sonne " of Robert and Catherine nee Agarde (James, the
eldest son, having died s.p.), and he succeeded his father (Robert) in 1597. Dates
do not seem to have hud any importance in the eyes of Dr. Harwood. As a matter
of fact, the William Brooke who died in 1641 was, according to his M.I. at Elford,
aged 62 at his death. This would give 1579 as the date of his birth, that is to say
eight years after the death of his assumed father.

Richard, who had issue John, who had issue Thomas, who had issue Richard, who
had issue Thomas, father of Francis Broughton, both living." A pedigree (said to
be in the handwriting of Sir Henry St. George the elder) in the Harl. MS. 1439,
brought down to 1623, commences with Simon de Chorleton, living 1256, whose
daughter and heir married Henry Napton, and had issue a " da. & sole heir " Julian,
married to Roger Broughton. Their son and successor was "Ely Broughton,"
living 1331, who married " da. & coheire of Reynold of Charnes," and was father by
her of John Broughton, living 1368. This John had issue by Margaret his wife,
daughter of Sir John Bromley, Knt., a son Thomas, living in 1405, who married
" Elena filia et coheres Bic'i Greneway de Bidulfe," and had Thomas, living 1463,
who married Margaret, da. of John Younge of Charnes.

Another version of the Broughton pedigree will be found in Betham's
"Baronetage" (ii., 242), and also in Kimber and Johnson (ii., 182). This version
is said to be taken from " a MS. genealogy in the possession of the present baronet,"
and it appears to have been compared with Vincent's Staffordshire in the College of
Arms. Here the family is deduced lineally from the Vernons of Shipbrook. Adam
de Napton, we are informed, was son of Richard de Vernon, a younger son of Hugh,
Baron of Shipbrook. This Adam de Napton was " so called from the place of his
abode [Napton, Co. Warwick] and possessions," and he " gave for arms Or, on a
fesse Azure three escallops of the field." He was father of Henry de Napton, who,
by " the sister of Roger Meuland, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry," had issue a
second son Roger, Lord of Broughton, etc., which Roger married Julian de Charnes
(or, "as some pedigrees say, Julian, daughter and heiress of Roger Napton"), and
had issue " Ely, and Reginald a priest." This Ely, we are told, married Margaret,
daughter of Sir John Bromley, and was great-great-grandfather of the John
Broughton who married the coheiress of Greneway.

It is singular that the Broughtons abandoned the three brocks, and subsequently
adopted a totally different coat, viz., Argent, two bars gules, on a canton of the last
a cross of the first. Crest : A sea-dog's head gules, finned and eared argent.
These are the bearings allowed to Sir Bryan Broughton of Broughton, Bart., by
Dugdale at his Visitation in 1663-4, and they are still borne by the family.

George Ensor was a son of John Ensor of "Wilnecote, and brother of Barnaby Ensor

* His mother was named Brownlow, and at one period he was known as " Fol-
jambe alias Brownlow." See an elaborate pedigree of Foljambe in " Coll. Top. et
Gen.," vols. i. and ii.

f These arms were probably granted since 1528, for in that year died Sir Richard
Fowler of Rycote, son and heir of Richard Fowler, the Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, and the arms on his monument in Trinity Church, London, were Argent,
three wolf's heads erased gules, within a bordure azure charged with castles, or
chess-rooks, or (being the coat of Rycote, alias Vis-de-lou, of Rycote), quartering
Barton, ~Englejield, and Gernon. The same coat, with a crescent for difference, is on
the monumental brass of Sir Richard's uncle, Thomas Fowler, in the chapel of Christ's
College, Cambridge.

J William Fowler married Cecilia, daughter and heiress of Nicholas Englefield
by Johanna Rycote, his wife, heiress of the family and estate of Rycote.

§ Thomas Fowler's first wife is called Mary or Margery, daughter of Edward
Lee or Lester, or of ... . Coleville. His second wife was Alice, widow of John
Hulcote of Hulcote, Northamptonshire, and daughter and heiress of John Houghton
of Ellesborou^h, Bucks. His third wife, who survived him, was Edith Dynham,
sister (it is presumed) of John, Lord Dynham, and her arms (Dynham quartering
Arches) are on the brass above named. He appears to have had three sons, Thomas,
Edward, and William.

* This Edward is probably not joined on to the former pedigree because it was
doubtful whether he was son of Thomas Fowler the younger ; for in many of the
pedigrees he is so placed, and then an erasure has been made, leaving him son of
Thomas the elder. The latter is doubtless correct, for Thomas the younger appears
to have had female issue only, one of whom, Margery, is stated to have married
William Symons of " Bodill " in Cornwall. In one pedigree the wife of Edward
Eowler is called Margaret Colwich, and a family of that name lived at Richmond
and Isleworth. See their pedigree in "The Visitation of Yorkshire, 1563," edited
by Mr. Norcliffe for the Harleian Society, p. 63. ■

f This second pedigree of Giffard has been inserted in the Stukeley MS. by Mr.
Thorpe from the presumed original in the library of Queen's College, Oxford. It
should be mentioned, however, that the last-named MS. contains both pedigrees.
It is not improbable that John Gill'ard failed to appear in person at the place and day
named by Glover lor holding his court for the hundred of Cudleston, and that, in
his absence, Glover, unwilling to omit all notice of so influential a family, entered so
much of the pedigree as he could discover from — it may be — the Squire's steward or

" Nomina Nobilium " (ante, p. 4), and the absence from that list of the word
appeared or entred seems to support my view. However it may be, we have in the
pedigree before us ample evidence of the fact that John Giffard did sometime appear
and " do right to posterity " by recording his armorial honours and — a portion of — his
ancient pedigree.

* It appears from a pedigree of Uoord in the "Topographer and Genealogist"
(i., 34) that she was one of the daughters of Thomas Hoord of Bridgnorth (who died
11 June, 1488) by Joyce, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Stapleton of Staple-
ton, Knt.

annex a drawing of the Standard* from a contemporary MS. in the
College of Arms. This MS. contains beautifully executed drawings of
the Standards borne in the field by Peers and Knights in the reign of
Henry VIII., and has been fully described in Bentley's " Excerpta
Hisfcorica." Though I lay myself open to the charge of ' using vain
repetitions,' I venture to append the following description of the
Standard from that Work (p. 331) : — " Four stripes or and azure, A on
a wreath argent and sable, a demi-archer, looking towards the sinister,
couped at the knees, in armour proper ; from his middle a short coat
paly argent and gules, at his left side a sword, and at his right a quiver
of arrows or, in his hands a bow and arrow drawn to the head of the
last ; between in the dexter chief and sinister base, two representations
of the following Crest, viz., On a wreath argent and azure, a leopard's
head guardant erasedf or, spotted azure and gules, vomiting flames of
the last. In B two, and in C three leopard's heads as in A. Motto. —
' Preigns alaine tires fort.' "]

* From tho same source I have obtained a tracing of another Giffard Standard,
also here represented.

t In the Visitation the panther's head is represented couped, and it is so given
in Dugdale's Visitation, 1663. At this last-named Visitation two crests are recorded,
first the archer, second the panther's head, — the former apparently taking aim at
the latter. Of course there is a "legend "attached to these crests, which the curious
may read in Burke's " Anecdotes of the Aristocracy."

* It is clear from the researches of the late well-known genealogist, Mr. Joseph
Morris of Shrewsbury, that the Grosvenors of Bushbury were not, as here and else-
where stated, a junior branch of the Grosvenors of Eaton. Ilumphrey Grosvenor,
who heads this pedigree, was of Farncote, Co. Salop, the son of William Grosvenor,
or Gravenor, of Broughton, in the parish of Claverley, and the descendant of a
family which derived its name from a place called Gravenor in the same parish.
A complete pedigree from Mr. Morris's MSS. will be found in the " Herald and
Genealogist," iv., 481, and v., 33.

t According to the Visitation of Warwickshire in 1619 this lady was " Jocosa

This pedigree should be carefully compared with that printed in
vol. ii. of " Collections " (part ii., p. 70), and with Mr. Bridgeman's
remarks in vol. i., p. 382. According to Lord Hatherton's and other
MSS., Thomas Hareourt of Ranton, who married Hugh Egerton's
daughter, was the son of John Hareourt by Margaret, daughter of
William Bracy of Pembridge, co. Hereford, which John was son of Sir
Richard by his second wife, Eleanor Lewknor. In Lord Hatherton's
MS., and in the Harl. MSS. 1077, 1167, etc., a more full and complete
account of the Hareourt family is given ; but as all these pedigrees
require revision in their earlier descents, I have thought it best to
simply reproduce the genealogy as it is given in the Stukeley MS., which
I take to be the descent noted by Glover when he visited the county.

THE VISITATION OP STAFFORDSHIRE, A.D. 1583.

The pedigree, as given in the MSS. above referred to, commences with
Sir William Harcourt, who married Alice, "ladie of Ellenhall," living
11th John, daughter and coheiress of Thomas Noel of Ellenhall and
Ronton by Margaret his wife, sister of Guy L'Estrange. By the lady
of Ellenhall Sir William had issue Sir Richard, his son and heir, lord of
Stanton and Ellenhall, who married " Orabell, sister of Robert Quincy,
E. of Winchester." The editor of the fifth edition of Collius's "Peerage "
(1779, vol. v., p. 264), sub "Harcourt," refers to " The Visitation of
Staffordshire, anno 1583," as asserting that the above Sir Richard
married Orabella, daughter of Robert de Quincy. This is an example
of the loose way in which genealogical writers refer to Visitations. No
doubt what this writer quotes is one of the numerous so-called copies of
this Visitation existing in some public or private library, which may or
may not be reliable ; but to cite it as " the " Visitation is misleading.

of " Edge alias Hawkins " of Shropshire, viz., xlrgent, a hawk proper,
standing on a staff ragulee couped vert.

aged 78, and that he was twice married — first to " Elizaheth da. of Thomas Ellys of
Yorkshire, esquier, which deceased in April 1559, and liad noe issue," and secondly
to Jane, daughter of John Francis of Eoremark, Esq. This is one of many examples
of the careless manner in which Visitation pedigrees were compiled. Here we have
a man actually attesting by his signature a document which asserts him to be the
son of a lady who, according to a monument (in all probability erected by himself),
" had noe issue " !

arms (together with the crest, a leopard's head between two wings expanded or) are
stated to have been granted to " John Hunt of Lindon in Com. Rutland, Esq., by
.Robert Cooke, Clar., 20 July 1585, 27 Q. Elizabeth." I take it, therefore, that this
pedigree was not recorded by Glover on circuit, but entered in the Visitation book
when the arms were granted, two years later.

* This quartering is usually stated to be for Boghey, but it is manifestly Praers.
There was a match temp. Edw. III. between a coheiress of Praers and an ancestor of
Edward Mainwaring, but as the issue of this marriage failed, and the line was
carried on by the descendants of a second marriage, the coat of Praers could not be
legitimately quartered by this family. But as a matter of fact it was so quartered,
and the Heralds seem to have definitely assigned it to Boghey, and thus accounted
for its appearance in the Mainwaring atchievement. It was allowed by Dugdale at
his Visitation in 1663 to the then Edward Mainwaring of "Whitmore.

t These Arms are stated in the Heraldic Dictionaries to have heen "confirmed "
to William Unwyn of Chatterley on the 18th of November, 24 Eliz. (1581). But
vide ante, p. 10, where, from the memorandum attached to the name of "William
Unwin, it would seem that his right to Arms was doubtful. It may be mentioned
as a curious circumstance that the page in the Harl. MS. 1570 which contained
this Unwin pedigree has been torn out, and on the opposite page is the following
note by Wanley : " Nov. 4, 1711. Mr. Bale, perusing this book, told me that in
certain books of the College of Arms one part of this pedigree of Unwyn is also
torn out, being ye same with that what was written upon p. 69. He says further
that he had observed folio G9 of this book to be missing some years since, while it
was in ye possession of Mr Comyns."

* Erdeswick, referring to the Wrottesley arms, remarks that the coat of three
piles and a canton " is set up in the Hall at "Wrottesley with a garter about it and
somewhat old ; and for their crest a boar's head ermine, which this present man
hath changed for a blue boar's head with bristles and tusks issuing forth of a crown
all gold. The coat I know of right to belong to Roger Bassett of Warwickshire,
and not the title or reason why Wrottesley should bear it." In the Roll of temp.
Edward II. (referred to ante, p. 20) the coat of " Sire Eoger Bassett " of " Ware-
wikschire " is as stated by Erdeswick, viz. " de or, a iij peuz de sable, a un quartier
de ermyne," and there is no doubt that these arms, together with the boar's head
crest, were adopted by Sir Hugh Wrottesley, K.G., in right of his mother, Joan,
who was a daughter of Sir Roger Bassett. In a Roll of the latter part of the 14th
century " Hugh de Wryottesley " bears Or, a bend engrailed sable ; and Glover told
Erdeswick that the same coat was " set up at Windsor " for Sir Hugh, K.G. The
second quartering in the Wrottesley atchievement is undoubtedly Baron, and was
brought in by Jane, wife of Sir Walter Wrottesley, who in the above pedigree is
called " da. and heire of ... . Barrey." She was really the only child and sole
heiress of William Barow, of Reading; which William Baron was one of the gentlemen
of Berkshire who bore arms from their ancestors (see Fuller's "Worthies"), and
whose names were returned for the defence of the Kingdom temp. Henry VI. The
Heralds seem to have disliked the " false heraldry " of this coat. In MS. E. D. N. 13.
Coll. Arm., and at the subsequent Visitations of 1614 and 1C63, I find it blazoned
Or, a chevron azure between three garbs gules, and Dr. Plot so blazons it in his
Table XL, dedicated to Sir Walter Wrottesley. Possibly the true blazon should be
Gules, a chevron counter -componee argent and azure between three garbs or, which
is given by Glover in his " Ordinary " as the coat of " Baron, temp. Edw. IV. ; " but
colour upon colour was not so very uncommon in the earlier daj's of Armory. With
regard to the third quartering, wherever it is named it is ascribed to Barrey, and it
would really seem that it was invented by the Heralds for the heiress whom they call
by that name. Shaw (ii., 205) mentions that among the arms formerly in the
gallery at Wrottesley was a shield of Wrottesley impaling " Per pale or, two bars
azure, counterchanged," and under it " Sir Walter Wrottesley, son and heir of
Hugh, married Jane, daughter and heir of AVilliam Barrery, Esq."

additional quarterings of Calcott (Argent, a fesse gules fretty or between three
cinquefoils gules) and Dod (Argent, on a fesse gules, between two cottises wavy
sable, three crescents or), are ascribed in the Harl. MS. 2187 to the Yardleys of
Calcott, Co. Chester, who are stated to be descended from Thomas, brother of Oliver
Yardley of Yardley, living temp. Henry VI., and his wife Emilia, daughter and
heiress of John de Calcott. In the Stukeley MS. is a modern trick (no doubt
inserted by Eardley-Wilmot) of the following atchievement — Quarterly :
1, Yardley or Eardley ; 2, Azure, a buck courant in bend in the dexter chief argent,
pursued by two greyhounds also in bend proper, for "Yardley of Kenilworth;"
3, Argent, a scythe sable, said to be for " Thickness of Warwickshire ; " 4, Argent,
a fesse between three bugle-horns stringed sable, for " Sutton of Cheshire." Crest :
as above.

No Arms appear to have been allowed at this Visitation, for, as will be seen
from the list of those summoned (ante, p. 10), William Yardley was "respited to Sir
Ralph Edgerton's." As to the Arms themselves, the canton is the coat of Audley,
and the blue chevron and garbs seem to have been suggested by the coat of Marbury.

* This John had issue Edward, who had two daughters and coheirs, Elizabeth
and Alice ; the former married to Robert Wilmot, whence the Eardley-Wilmots.

NOTES

ON THE

By Rev. F. PARKER.

The De Wastineys' pedigree, given in this Visitation of 1583,*
on the authority of an old French MS. belonging to the Gresleys, traces
the family in the main line from Hardolph, styled de Gastineys, to
Thomasine, the heiress who married Sir Nicholas Gresley : no notice is
taken of collateral branches ; and there are so many inaccuracies in the
descent that it is thought advisable to republish the pedigree in a more
correct and complete form.

If we may judge from the earliest spelling of the name (de "Gas-
tineys") the family must have come from the district called the
" Gastinois," lying to the south of Paris aud east of Orleans ; thus
much is certain, that the first of the English line was a follower of
Robert de Stafford (al. de Toni) and enfeoffed by that baron both in
his Lincolnshire and Staffordshire estates. The generally received
tradition, as already noticed, would recognise this ancestor in " Ar-
dulph," Lord of the Manor of Osgarthorp under de Ferrers, following
the French MS., which gives him plainly the surname de Gastineys ;
but it rests on no sufficient authority, for, while the long connection of
the de Wastineys with Osgarthorp, and the fact that (c. 1290 a.d.) Sir
Edmond de Wastineys gave the name of Hardulph to his eldest son, are
sound arguments in favour of some relationship, yet Ardulph's claim to
be the founder of the family would need to be established on much
clearer proof, even if it were not directly contradicted by an early char-
ter, which traces his true descent as follows: " Bertmmus de Verdon
omnibus hominibus Francis et Anglis, etc., .... conjirmasse Roberto
filio Walteri et heredibus quas liabebit de Domind Bind uxore ejus filid
Robertifitii Hardulphi Mam terram de Angodesthorpe (Osgarthoq))," etc.
Robert fitz Hardulph had previously received these lands from Bertram
de Verdon, who now settles them on Robert's daughter Dina, her
husband, and their heirs. A subsequent deed of partition of the lands

* Vide pp. 86 and 88.

NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OF DE WASTINEYS. 157

of Robert fitz Walter and Dina between their coheiresses shews how
Amphelis, the second of the three daughters and coheiresses, in turn
conveyed a portion of them by marriage to Sir Philip de Wastineys :
" Philippo vero de Wastineys et Amphelissa pro parte sua remanent
tenementa Robert! et Dina, et quod Robertas films Walteri tenuit in
Kirkebi, etc., et quod dicta Dina tenuit in Angodesthorpe,^ etc. Thus
the connection between the two families is proved to have been through
the female line, and, however wide the Leicestershire lands which his
great-granddaughter's marriage brought into her husband's name,
Hardolph can have no claim to be called " De Gastineys."

The true founder of the family was Goisfridus described in the
Lincolnshire " Domesday " as " homo Roberti de Stafford," and who held
lands in Brune, Carleby, Braseburg, and possibly in Dentune, besides
the Staffordshire fees at Colton, Tixall, etc., being all portions of the
great de Stafford barony, which were handed down for some centuries
in the De "Wastineys line. The " Liber Niger " and the Fine Roll of
Alan de Nevil, which appears on the Pipe Roll of 13 H. 2, compared,
later on, with the " Testa de Nevil " of both counties, the Hundred
Rolls of Lincolnshire, and other evidence, clearly prove that these
lands were possessed by Sir William and Sir Geoffrey de Wastineys,
circa 1167-8 A.d. Of these knights, the elder, Sir William, could not
have been born later than 1120 a.d., since his sons, together with Sir
Geoffrey, did suit in de Stafford's court between 1158 and 1165
{v. " Staffs. Coll.," vol. 2). This would leave but little time for re-feof-
mentto another family; whilst, supposing Goisfrid to have died without
issue, and an entirely new feofment to have been made, it is all but
impossible that it should have been formed from those identical manors
in the same counties. Mr. Eyton's authority (as General Wrottesley
suggests) may be quoted in support of this view : " That when a
certain tenant is found holding different manors of one feudal lord, and
you meet with the same manors held two or three generations after-
wards by a tenant under the same feudal superiors and by the same
service, the second tenant is the undoubted descendant of the first."
That the name "Geoffrey" continued in the family is proved by
" Liber Niger," and by the pedigree of the Tixal line.

Who succeeded " Goisfrid " we are unable to decide without fur-
ther evidence, for it seems most probable that the William and Geoffrey
de Wastineys of " Liber Niger " were not his sons, but his grandsons,
and, if so, one generation has been lost ; that Sir Geoffrey held the
Tixall fee, and founded that branch of the family is certain from Alan
de Nevill's Roll. Sir William, the elder, was married, we believe, to
Alice de Acton, and had certainly two sons, William and Robert, the

158 NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OF DE WASTINEYS.

same already alluded to as present in Robert de Stafford's court, and
again in a Lincolnshire trial of 3 R. 1 (1191 a.d.). After the death
of Robert, his widow Agatha married William de St. Landa, a Lincoln-
shire knight ; a dispute arose about her dower, and she was compelled
to call her son Joceus de Wastineys to be her warrantor, when chal-
lenged by Sir Philip de Wastineys the opponent. The suit will be
found given in the Assize Rolls, and is valuable for the help which it
lends us to understand the pedigree. If we are correct, as the dates
and other evidence imply, Sir Philip was the son of William (2) de
Wastineys by Matthania, sometimes called " de Col ton," because her
dower was settled on that fee, vide the Assize Rolls, circa 1199 a.d.,
where Sir Philip her son is called to warrant his mother's claim. The
same records have preserved a suit for Colton property brought by
"Agnes" and "Anselm" de Wastineys, who were very probably
younger children of William and Matthania. Amongst other trials of
this date is a claim for land at Osgarthorp raised against Sir Philip and
Amphelis his wife, the latter being represented by Elias de Cohnjch, her
attorney. This is worth mention, as another link connecting the
Staffordshire and Leicestershire estates. Joceus de Wastineys, the son
of Robert and Agatha, sued Sir Philip for a freehold in Brune (Lincoln-
shire), and established his right ; in a second attempt for two caru-
cates at Carleby he was less successful, but we learn from the evidence
that he had been brought up as a ward of Sir Philip's. In 7 King
John Sir Philip himself is plaintiff against John, son of Stephen de
Acton, for two- thirds of a fee in Acton (Trussell ?) formerly the property
of Alice his grandmother. The case was referred for trial by the great
Assize, though it had been tried previously when Sir Philip was in
wardship and a minor ; difficulties and delays continued, however, to be
raised, so that at one time we find Geoffrey de Colton, at another Wil-
liam Bagot, appearing for Sir Philip, and the ultimate result has been
lost to us entirely, for the Roll of Feb. 9, 1207, remains unfinished.

Sir Philip de Wasteneys was opposed to King John, but came in
and did homage (vide the Close Rolls) in 1216-17 a.d. at Mount Sorrel.
The Sheriffs of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire are there-
fore ordered to give him seizin of his lands. The same Rolls of 1219
contain the Royal Warrant to the Sheriffs of the two former counties,
certifying them that Sir William (3) de Wasteneys, Sir Philip's son
and heir, is authorized to represent his father in all matters concerning
those counties and wapentakes, during Sir Philip's absence in Scotland
on his own business. A single entry in the Assize Roll of 1228 A.D.
gives some insight into the state of public affairs, and suggests no
doubt the right explanation of Sir Philip's sudden recovery of his

NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OF DE WASTINETS. 159

lands and his reconciliation with the King, already noticed. It comes
out incidentally, when William de Wastineys sues John le Mareschal
for depriving him unjustly of certain Colton lands which his father had
made over to him as part of his maintenance. Until this Assize Roll
came to light it was impossible to account for any"Le Mareschal"
interest in Colton ; but the whole is easily understood when we learn
that Sir Philip had been captured at Mount Sorrel, and carried prisoner
to Nottingham, where John le Mareschal had forced him to sign a sur-
render of the lands in question. The " Le Mareschal " interest was
certainly paramount at Court until the date of the Regent Pembroke's
death in 1219 a.d., whilst the Royal party had so much the upper hand
in that part of Lincolnshire where the de Wastineys property chiefly
lay, that Sir Philip's submission is easily understood, even if this sur-
render of land were not, as is most probable, the ransom which opened
his prison-door. Sir Philip's death must have occurred somewhere
between 1228 and 1235 a.d. ; his wife Amphelis died, we should con-
clude, before 1224, since her son, Sir William, presented in that year to
the living of Osgarthorp, a part of his mother's estate, while Sir Philip
was yet alive.

Sir William de Wasteneys (3) is returned in 1235 A.d. (vide
" Testa de Nevil ") as holding lands in Lincolnshire of Hugh Wake,
Hugh holding of Harvey Bagot by interpolated tenure, and Harvey of
the King in capite of old feofment. Five years later the Crown gave
Sir William the right to hold a weekly market every Friday at his
Colton Manor. The Harl. MS., B. M., No. 506, mentions some grants of
his in the same place, but they are of local rather than general import-
ance. Sir William's wife is called Margaret in the pedigrees, on what
ground we have not been able to discover — probably that of some early
charter ; by her we believe that he left two sons, both bearing their
father's name " William," though the younger is invariably distinguished
as Sir William " le Jovene." It was a practice common enough in
early times to give the same Christian name to two brothers ; indeed,
an instance might be quoted from the Tixall branch of this very family,
where the names of Roger de Wastineys the elder, and Roger the
younger, his brother, occur in the same deed of entail. Few difficulties,
however, could arise to hinder more effectually the exact unravelling of
a pedigree, in its early stage, than this recurrence of the same Christian
name ; for, while the general descent remains beyond dispute, the dates
of succession in each individual case are left uncertain. After carefully
reviewing the whole question, we should conclude that the William de
Wastineys who, with Stephen his brother, witnessed a Leicestershire
deed of Agnes de Gresley, Prioress of Grace Dieu, in 1242 a.d., was the

160 NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OP DE WASTINETS.

son of Sir William (3) and grandson of Sir Philip. The Stephen here
mentioned must be the same who was admitted (by the Eoyal Warrant to
Philip Marmyun and William Bagod),A.D. 1267, into the King's peace
on giving security for good behaviour, and who gave further proof sub-
sequently of his turbulent character, when sent by his brother William
in 1271 to Emma Bagot's house in Hacunby. It appears from the
Hundred Rolls that the band under his command, not satisfied with
robbing her of property valued at 100s., carried off Simon Bagot her
brother and two Hoyland men prisoners. The latter they beheaded
summarily in the Park at Brune, whilst Simon was kept in captivity
for six years, until Emma Bagot paid Sir William twenty marcs for his
release : a strange picture of the lawlessness of those days. Sir William
de Wasteneys was himself Sheriff of Lincolnshire at the time. The fact
that, both in 1242 and 1271, Stephen is mentioned, with Sir William his
brother, who was certainly living in 1276 A.D., when the suit appears in
the Lincolnshire Hundred Rolls, makes it very unlikely that these could
be Sir Philip's sons, or that Sir William, who would then be at the
least seventy years of age, was the active and tyrannical Sheriff here
represented. On these grounds we prefer to identify the William and
Stephen in question with Sir Philip's grandsons and the sons of
William (3) de Wastineys. On any other supposition there must have
been a William and Stephen in each generation, which is not at all
probable.*

The William de Wastineys who signed a Colton grant together
with William, styled the young Lord (le Jovene), is doubtless the same
who was fourth of his name, and whom we find obtaining (in 1264) the
right of free warren over the Lincolnshire, Staffordshire, and Leicester-
shire lands. The Colton estate of the family that same year is valued
at a knight's fee, and here (as we gather from the Assize Roll 1263)
Sir William " le Jovene " chiefly resided. In 1277 the Post M. Inqui-
sitions prove that he shared certain rights in Colton with William le
Mareschal lately deceased. Probably he did not live beyond 1281, for
the next year John de Wasteneys was the joint Lord with John de
Mareschal of the same land. Two daughters, Alice and Joan, besides
a son William, certainly survived him ; their names occur first in the
Roll as paying half-marc to have an assize. The son there can be
little question is the same William whom we meet again in 1299 and
1317 a.d. as William "le younge Louerd," or Le Lonerd de " Luttle-
hay," and who left a son called Robert, or Robert de " Luttlehay,"
mentioned in 1322.

* The whole question is obscure, and in the absence of better evidence must
remain an open one.

NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OF DE WASTINEYS. 161

To recur now to the elder line, i.e. to the children of Sir "William, the
Sheriff of Lincolnshire. Besides John, the heir, there was a son Regi-
nald, whose name occurs in 1308, and again in 1322 as the father of
another William {v. Patent Rolls). "We believe that the well-known
Sir Edmond de "Wastineys, who founded the Nottinghamshire branch
of the family, was probably another of Sir "William's sons. Sir John de
"Wastineys married Isabella Hay of Acton in Yorkshire ; like his father,
he too claimed free warren over the Colton estate in 1293 A.D., and
must have been residing there at that time, for, together with Edmond
de "Wastineys, he witnessed a Colton deed of gift. Sir John served
repeatedly on the Great Assize, sometimes with another John de "Wasti-
neys (possibly a younger brother, but that is uncertain) ; he acted also
as a juror for the perambulations of Cannock and Kinver Forests, and
was evidently in possession of the Leicestershire property at Osgar-
thorpe, Threngeston, etc. — witness an action which he brought against
the inhabitants of Tonge and Bredon for sending their swine to feed in
a certain wood, called "Wastenays Wood, situated at Osgarthorpe
(Abbrev. Placit. 1304). As holding two knights' fees in Lincoln-
shire he was summoned to attend the King against the Scotch, the
muster being appointed at Carlisle. The arms of his wife's family are
described to be — " Or, on a chief gules two mullets argent."

Besides two daughters — Constance, named in a deed of 25 Edward
III., and Elizabeth, wife of Sir John Cornwall, Kt. — Sir John left three
sons : Sir William (5), married to Joan Bret, daughter of Sir John Bret
of Norfolk, and widow of Adam de Cailley ; (2) Sir Philip, who, by
Willielma his wife, was father of the Thomas de Wastineys mentioned
on more than one occasion in the Gresley Chartulary (1324 and 1342
a.d.) ; and (3) John, Rector of Cranwicke (Norfolk), a living which
formed part of his sister-in-law's dowry in right of her former husband
Sir Adam de Cailley.

Sir William (5), the next representative of the de Wasteneys, in-
herited a greater estate and influence in five different counties ; person-
ally too he was of an active, enterprising character. We find him
serving in Scotland under Edward I., and not unknown at the Court of
Edward II., if we may judge from the notice in the " Collectanea Topo-
graphica " of the knights who tilted at the great Stepney tournament,
a.d. 1309, where he sided with the party of the Earl of Lancaster.
Proof may be seen in the Parliamentary Writs that in 1332 he was
summoned to assist the Sheriff of Lincoln in keeping the peace, and to
appear at Burton-on-Trent prepared to march on the King's service.

The following year he was ordered to raise 2000 soldiers in the

M

162 NOTES ON THE PEDIGREE OF DE WASTINEYS.

county of Lincoln (vide the Memorandums of Burghersh, Bishop of
Lincoln, and the Parliamentary Writs). Sir William was present at
the Lincoln election in 1334, and was himself returned to the Parlia-
ment at Westminster. In 1325 he was sent by Lord Wake in com-
mand of a body of troops across the seas ; but the climate of Gascony
brought on a disease, that proved rapidly fatal, not long after his return
to England. He left a numerous family of three sons and eight
daughters (vide G-resley Chartulary). The arms of Joan Bret his
wife are — "Argent, a bend gules, billetee of the field."

Sir Thomas de Wastineys, the eldest son and heir of Sir William (5),
was not yet of age when his father died, whereby a difficulty at once
arose touching his wardship and marriage, the latter being claimed by
Lord Stafford, of whom he held the manor of Colton.

How this claim was adjusted we are now unable to say : Sir Thomas
certainly appealed to Lord Wake, his father's patron, to interfere ; and
it can be proved that his marriage with Joanna, daughter of Sir John
Toly of Wymondham, soon took place, because their names occur
together in a Colton deed of 1339 a.d. Sir Thomas was quite as dis-
tinguished a soldier as his father; in 1834 we find him taking out
letters of protection whilst with the King in Scotland ; and again in
1343, when about to pass into France among the retinue of the War-
wickshire Baron Nicholas de Cantilupe ; three years later he was
serving in France under Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. It
is therefore all but certain that he fought at Cressy ; indeed, the very
next year he is pardoned for all offences he may have committed on
the ground of his good service against the French. The writ,
which is dated at Calais, Septbr 4th 20 Edward III., implies that he
shared likewise in the memorable siege. Sir Thomas was involved in
many law-suits ; down to the year 1364 his name is continually recur-
ring in the Patent and Fine Polls, etc. His brother, John de Waste-
neys, is mentioned in a grant dated 1346 a.d. The other brother may
(we believe) be identified with the Stephen de Wastineys of Brassing-
bury given in the Gresley Chartulary. Isabella, who married Robert de
Jortz, Kt. (1325 a.d.), is the only one of his eight sisters whose name has
come down to us, nor can we in her case speak with absolute certainty.
It is remarkable that Sir Thomas's three sons, William, John, and
Thomas, died childless, thereby defeating all their uncle John's efforts
to perpetuate the family greatness. The estates passed to Thomasine
their sister, and the ancient family of de Wasteneys died out in the
main line.

„ 9, line 7. Although Sampson Erdeswick is here stated to have appeared and
entered his descent, I do not think any such descent was really entered in
the Visitation book. At all events no pedigree is to be found in the
presumed original nor in the Stukeley MS. Three years later (viz., in
1586), Glover, as "Mareschall to Norroy Kinge of Armes," compiled and
certified a long and elaborate pedigree of the Erdeswick family "ad
instantiam et rogatu Sampsonis Erdeswike, armigeri." The original
vellum roll, signed by Glover, was presented to the British Museum
Library in 1791 by Thomas Blore, of Derby, Attorney-at-Law (Add. MS.
5410). It measures several yards in length, and the arms are very nicely
emblazoned in colours. What appears to be an imperfect copy of this,
transcribed from an old vellum roll belonging to Colonel Butler-Bowdon,
is printed in Dr. Howard's "Miscellanea," vol. iii., p. 4. Most of the
(so-called) copies of the Visitation (Hatherton MS., and Harl. MSS. 1415,
1570, 6128, etc.) give an Erdeswick pedigree, but of a later date than the
Visitation.

16, James Barnesley must, I think, be an error ; for the then head of the family
was either William Barnesley or Thomas, his son. The latter recorded his
descent in the College of Arms in 1597, when the arms and crest of the
Barnesleys of Barnesley Hall, Worcestershire (from whom he claimed
descent), were allowed to him, with a crescent for difference. This
pedigree is given in Lord Hatherton's MS., and has been printed by Shaw
in his second volume, p. 209. But Shaw has, by a stupid and inexcusable
blunder, made Thomas Barnesley (who was aged 3 at Dugdale's Visitation
in 1663) the grandson of the aforesaid Thomas, whereas he was really his
great-great-grandson; being son of William (aged 44 in 1663), whose
father Thomas (ob. circa 1636) was son of William, the " son and heir " of
the Thomas of 1597. (Of. orig. Vis. in Coll. Arm.)

,, 19, for Ham read Ham.

„ 25, Waringe. For falcons heads read lapwing's.

„ 30, James. I have not seen any other authority for this crest of James.
That usually ascribed to the family is, Out of a mural coronet azure, a
demi-lion regardant or, collared of the first, holding between the paws an
escallop sable.

„ 62, for Henryke read Kenryke.
