818 Sir John Harrington said "he was a man well spoken, properly seen in languages, a comely and good personage, had scarce an equal, and, next to Sir Philip Sidney, no superior in England." Stapylton, Sir Robert (I1585)
 
819 Sir Roger Wilbraham, temp. Elizabeth, relates a smart retort, made apparently by this Lord, to Henry VIII. "The L. of Burgaveny had morgaged that house; the King having an ynkling thereof at his meeting with him said 'God morow my L. of Burgaveny without Burgaveny;' the Lord more boldly than discreetly said to the King 'God morow my liege Lord, King of France without France.' This tale is not only amusing, but has a practical bearing; for if Abergavenny were a Barony by tenure, and if the fond "conceipt that the Castle and Lordship of A. should draw the stile and dignity" were true, then a mortgage, which transfers the legal ownership, would have also transferred the peerage; but the Lords having no notice of the transfer would have continued to summon Mr. Nevill, and by so doing would (according to modern peerage law) have conferred a new peerage on him of the same date as the summons, while as soon as the mortgagee had foreclosed on Abergavenny and taken possession, they could not refuse him his writ of summons to the ancient Barony. It is clear that such a process might recur, and that by now we might have a collection of Lords Abergavenny of various dates, which, as Euclid says, is absurd. (Neville), George 5th Lord Bergavenny (I2312)
 
820 Slain at sea while defending the Duke of Montrose packet (which he commanded) against a French privateer. Dyneley, Birt (I1697)
 
821 Slain at the Battle of Agincourt (Plantagenet), Edward of Norwich, 2nd Duke of York (I434)
 
822 Slain at the Battle of Edgcote, near Banbury. Neville, Hon. Sir Henry (I904)
 
823 Slain at the Battle of Northampton, where he fought in defence of the person of Henry VI, of whom he was a strenuous supporter. (Percy), Thomas 1st Baron Egremont (I914)
 
824 Slain at the Battle of Winceby, which was fought on 11 October 1643 (not 14 October 1643 as stated in Foster's pedigree). Hopton, Sir Ingram (I1521)
 
825 Slain fighting for the Yorkists at the second Battle of St. Albans Poynings, Hon. Robert (I791)
 
826 Some time afterwards they encountered the Nevilles at Stamford Bridge, "a battayll set" ensued, and they were taken prisoners. They were condemned to pay to the Nevilles 16,800 marks, and, in the meanwhile, Egremont was committed to Newgate. He escaped thence, 13 November 1456. (Percy), Thomas 1st Baron Egremont (I914)

 		Guildford, Sir John (I717)
 
830 South African War. Mentioned in despatches. Received D.S.O. (Gordon-Lennox), Colonel Charles Henry 8th Duke of Richmond (I969)
 
831 Succeeded in 1430 to the estates of his paternal uncle of the half-blood, John (Neville), Lord Latimer. (Neville), George 1st Lord Latimer (I897)
 
832 suddenly, unmarried (Baring), John 2nd Baron Revelstoke of Membland (I78)
 
833 Sworn 22 May 1746. (FitzGerald), James 1st Duke of Leinster (I1266)
 
834 The 1514 creation was afforded the precedency of the 1397 creation. (Howard), Thomas 2nd Duke of Norfolk (I404)
 
835 The Barony of Willoughby of Broke fell into abeyance, on the death of the 2nd Lord s.p.m.s., 10 November (1521) 13 Henry VIII, between his three granddaughters and coheirs. Two of these died without issue, before the death of their sister, Dame Elizabeth Greville (who died in 1560), who, according to modern doctrine, would have been entitled suo jure to the Barony. She would have been succeeded therein by her son (1560[sic]-1606) and, subsequently, by her grandson, Fulke Greville, created in 1621, Baron Brooke. It was not, however, till 13 February 1695/96 (when the representation had passed from the family of Greville) that this Barony was allowed to her descendant and representative, Richard Verney; this being the first decision whereby a Barony by Writ was allowed to the heir at law (through a female) after it had been in abeyance. The older and better doctrine was, that, as the effect of abeyance was to vest the dignity in the Crown, no right of succession, after such vesture, could subsequently ensue, other than by the special favour of the Crown. G.E.C. The case is discussed by J. H. Round, in his Peerage and Pedigree, where it is shown that the Attorney General actually argued that the acceptance of the Brooke barony in 1621 had the effect of extinguishing the claimant’s right. V.G. Greville, Sir Fulke de jure 4th Lord Willoughby de Broke (I2614)
 
836 The Beaufort children were legitimated by papal bull in September 1396 and by royal patent the following February. Family F248
 
837 The cause was crim. con. with her cousin, Lord William Gordon, which, however, did not prevent her marriage, 27 August 1781, (as his 2nd wife) with Col. the Hon. George Napier, by whom she was mother of eight children. Family F703
 
838 The compiler of College of Arms MS. Norfolk 4, page 141, was uncertain as to the county in which Sir John Stanhope's abode of "Melford" was located. The entry reads: "Margaret daughter of Sir John Stanhope of Melford in Com: . . . . . . . . Knight" [sic]. "The Bradford Antiquary, The Journal of the Bradford Historical and Antiquarian Society," New Series, volume I. (Bradford, 1900), page 326, identified the place as "Melford, Kent." It is noted, however, that Joseph Hunter, "Familiae Minorum Gentium," volume 3, pages 988-9, identified the father of Margaret Stanhope (the wife of Robert Dyneley) as "Sir John Stanhope of Stotfold in psh. of Hooton Paynel, & of Melwood Park in the Isle of Axholme." Perhaps "Melford" was therefore an error, and ought to read "Melwood." Stanhope, Sir John (I1600)
 
839 The couple gave a black marble font to the Church of South Kilvington, co. York (North Riding). It has shields in 9 compartments with the arms of Scrope (of Masham) and allied families. Family F784
 
840 The day of St. Saturninus MCCCCXXII. (Percy), Thomas 1st Baron Egremont (I914)
 
841 The Earl recovered possession as from 2 March 1469/70 (possibly the date of his coming of age), by the Act reversing his father's attainder, 1472. (Percy), Henry 4th Earl of Northumberland (I763)
 
842 The escheators in cos. Northumberland, York and 6 others, York City and Newcastle-upon-Tyne were ordered to cause him to have full seisin of his father's lands, 16 February 1455/56. (Scrope), Thomas 5th Lord Scrope of Masham (I1433)
 
843 The famous defender of Londonderry. Walker, George (I1631)
 
844 The Feast of SS. Simon and Jude 9 Hen. IV, the marriage portion being 440 marks. Family F1031
 
845 The following day, as Sir Henry Percy, Kt., he had a grant of the custody of his father's forfeited estates in Yorkshire, Cumberland, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and London. Neville had surrendered his grant so far as it concerned Northumberland, by the King's command, 22 February. (Percy), Henry 4th Earl of Northumberland (I763)
 
846 The King having fled to Wales, Henry was sent in pursuit and captured the King at Neath, taking him thence to Llantrisant, co. Glamorgan, 16 November 1326. He captured the younger Despenser at the same time. (Plantagenet), Henry 3rd Earl of Lancaster and of Leicester, Count of Provence (I596)
 
847 The marriage of Prince Henry, Duke of Sussex, to Rachel Meghan Engelson, née Markle, was valid in the Church of England according to the revision of its canon law made in 2002 by the General Synod, which provided “exceptional circumstances” in which “a divorced person may marry again in church during the lifetime of a former spouse.” Family F117
 
848 The marriage took place secretly, without parental consent, and was validated on 23 May 1408 by papal dispensation. It brought Richard no financial benefit, since Anne's only income was an annuity of £50 granted for her maintenance by Henry IV in 1406. It did, however, result in Richard's offspring's being the heirs general of Edward III. Family F221
 
849 The measures taken having proved ineffectual, strong letters were addressed to the two Earls, 8 October 1453, and Egremont and Neville were told that in contempt of the order of 27 July they "have multiplied and daily do gaderyngg' of people of oure subgitt' redy to goo to the feld' ... as it were in lande of werre," and they were again commanded to keep the peace on pain of forfeiture. (Percy), Thomas 1st Baron Egremont (I914)
 
850 The monumental inscription reads as follows:—
"Heare lyeth the Body of the Lady Vrsula Baynard, Daughter of Sir Robert Stapilton of Wyghall in the County of Yorke, Knight, and wife to Sir Robert Baynard, Knight, by whome shee had Issue Edward her Sonne heare buryed, and Mary hir Daughter. She lyved to the age of 36 yeares, and departed to God in most firme fayth in Christ in the yeare of our Lorde God 1623.
"Gods goodness made her wise and well beseeming,
Discreet and Prudent, Constant, True and Chaste,
Hir virtues rare won her much esteeming,
In Courte and Country, still with favour graste,
Earth could not yelde more pleasing earthly blisse,
Blest wth. two babes, though Death brought hir to this." 		Stapylton, Ursula (I2294)
