The Great East ("Jesse") Window, of St. Mary's Church, Shrewsbury. ... 38

Along the foot of the window is this inscription in Norman French: Pray for Johnde Charlton who caused this glass to be made, and for the Lady Hawis his wife.

"The history of Sir John Charlton and his wife is fairly well known. She was HawisGadarn, of well-nigh royal birth, in her descent from the Princes of Powisland, andwas, moreover, the heiress of Castel Goch or Powis Castle and its lands. Bom in

the year 1291, she was married to Sir John Charlton in 1310. The inscription does

not invite prayers for the soul of either of them, as it would certainly have donehad he or she been dead. Both of them, therefore, must have been living when the

glass was made. We do not know when the Lady Hawis died, but Sir John died in

1353. His death thus fi.\es a date, before which the glass must have been executed."

There are eight figures in the bottom line of panels "Of these one is seated, repre-

senting the blessed Virgin with the infant Saviour; the other seven kneel. Next to

the Virgin on the spectator's right is the Lady Hawis, and behind her two of her

daughters. On the left kneels King Edward HI, and next Sir John Charlton; while

behind him are figured two of his sons. Both of these are wearing surcoats and spurs,

and must therefore have been of an age to be knighted, an event which could not

scarcely have occurred before 1334. So that at some time between these two dates,

viz., 1334 and 1353, we mav safelv fix the execution of the window." (.Archdeacon

GREY, LORDS OF POWYS

DAVID GREY, of Northumberland County, England, the

first of the line. "That this name hath been ancient in Northumber-land, and famous for divers military exploits, is evident from manyauthorities." ^

SIR THOMAS GREY of Berwick in the county of North-

umberland,^ married Jane, daughter of John, Lord Moubray, andhad:

SIR JOHN GREY, who married Joan, the eldest daughter andco-heiress of Edward de Cherleton, Lord of Powys. He was a manof great action, and was held in high estimation by Henry V. In the

second year of the latter's reign, he was with the King at the siege

of Caen in Normandy. "In the will made by Henry V, on the 24th

July, in the third year of his reign (1415), preparatory to his invasion

of France, the king bequeathed to him a golden cup."

Sir John Grey was one of the knights sent August 14, 1415,

"under the command of Sir John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon, to

reconnoitre Harfleur, and to choose a proper position for the King's

army before it landed." ^ He took part "in the famous Battle of

Agincourt,^ in which he had a retinue of thirty-three lances, although

it cannot be averred with absolute certainty that it was this noble-

Arms of Grey,

Lords of Powys.

In 1417, he was retained by indenture to serve the King in his

wars of France, with forty men-at-arms. In reward for his vahantservices he had "a grant from the King of the castle and lordship of

Tilye, in Normandy, to hold to him and the heirs male of his body,which castle and lordship did belong to Sir Philip Harcourt, Knight,than an adherent to the King's enemies." ^

He was sent with a guard into Powys land in 1417, where Sir

John Oldcastle, the chief of the Lollards, had been captured, to bring

him before the parliament. It was, on this occasion, it may bereasonably surmised, that he became acquainted with his future wife,

Joan, the elder daughter of Sir Edward de Cherleton, Lord of Powys." In the following year he was Captain of Maunt, and, in further

consideration of his service, had a grant, bearing date at Rouen, 31

January, of the Earldom of Tankerville in Normandy, with all the

appurtenances ... to hold to him, and the heirs male of his bodyby homage and the delivery of a basinet (or helmet) at the Castle of

Rouen, on the feast of St. George, yearly." ^

" During the siege of Rouen the Sovereign appears to have held

a Chapter of the Order of the Garter, and to have caused four knights

to be elected, namely. Sir Hugh Stafford, Lord Bourchier, Sir JohnGrey, Sir John Robesart, and Sir William Phelyp, sometimes styled

Lord Bardolf. All the new companions had often distinguished

themselves by their services in the field, and had fought both at

Harfleur ^ and at Agincourt. Sir William Phelyp was then treasurer

of the King's Household, and Sir John Grey was created Earl of

Tankerville in Normandy." This is a confirmation of Sir John Greybeing entitled to be on the Roll of the Battle of Agincourt.*

He was again in the wars of France in 1420, and was made the

Governor of Harfleur, and in the next year he had a further recom-

pense for his many and great services, a grant of certain Lordships

in Normandy which he had recovered from Sir John Harpeden,Knight. He was also made Governor of the castle of Gournay in

Normandy.^The Earl predeceased his father-in-law, Edward de Cherleton.

On the third of April, 1421, he was slain with the Duke of Clarence

(the King's brother), the Earl of Kent, and others, at the Battle of

Beauge," when passing a river and marsh near the castle of Beaufort.''

It is said that he was buried in the chancel of Welshpool Church.^

The Earl left his widow, Joan, who, on the death of her father, Edwardde Cherleton, Lord of Powys, on Friday before Palm Sunday, 1421,

had livery of her paternal inheritance, whereof the Lordship of

Powys was a part. She died in 1425.

SIR HENRY GREY, Earl of Tankerville and Lord Powys,succeeded to the earldom upon the death of his father in 1421, but

was under age. After the death of his mother, the custody of his

lands was granted to John, Duke of Bedford, October 27, 1425.

"In the same year Henry Grey received the honour of knighthood,

from the Regent, John, Duke of Bedford, at the time when the Kinghimself was knighted." '^ He was of the retinue of the Duke of

Bedford in the French Wars in 1435.^

In 1441-2, "Henry Grey received livery of his lands, and in

the following year there was a partition of the lands belonging to

Joan, late Countess of Kent, between the Earls of Somerset, West-minster, and Salisbury, the Duke of York, Joyce, the wife of JohnTiptoft, and Henry Grey de Powys." ^ Henry Grey endowed King's

College, Cambridge, with the Priory of Kersey, in the county of

Suffolk and all its possessions.

By an ordinance of the King, dated 18th August, 1449, it is

stated that, "whereas for to aide the King in setting forth of the

armies the which the Lord Powys, the Lord Zouches, and RobertVeere, knight, that lede," certain loans had been promised to the

King by the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

In this year the war was renewed with the French, who invadedNormandy, which soon fell into their hands. One of the places

earliest taken was the castle of Tankerville, which was surrendered

CHERLETON, FEUDAL BARONS OF POWYS^

" In compiling an account of the Feudal Barons of Powys, it is

difficult to tix upon the precise period in the history of the Ancient

Princes of Upper Powys when they can be said to have definitely

acknowledged the supremacy of the English Crown, and consented

to hold their hereditary territories, as a fee of a foreign sovereign.

Their position was for a lengthened period of an equivocal anomalouscharacter, they asserted their princely prerogatives whenever cir-

cumstances permitted, and they could act independently of the

English Sovereign, but whenever adversity overtook them, and theywere threatened with destruction by their rival princes, or by superior

force, they forthwith claimed English protection, and submittedthemselves to the foreign yoke.

"The princedom of Powys had a crown of its own, within its

own limits, called the Crown of Mathraval, which together with its

lands and tenements to the same Crown of Mathraval joined andannexed, were subject to the Princes of North Wales, and held of

the Crown of AberfTro. After Edward I, King of England, subduedNorth Wales, the rights attached to the Crown of Aberffro devolvedupon him and his successors as Prince of Wales; and, the Princes

of Powys surrendering their princely rights, the Lordship of Powys,as it then became, is said to have been held of the King of England,as Prince of Wales, in capite, by baronial service.

"The Barony or Lordship of Powys at an early period becameone of the Lordships Marcher in Wales. These lordships in general

owed their origin to the difficulty the Kings of England had in makingconquest of Wales, who, therefore, gave to the lords and other great

men in England such countries in Wales as they could win from the

Welshmen. These are the words of divers of their grants. By these

means many were drawn to bring great armies of Englishmen andNormans into Wales, who conquered many great lordships, which

they held to them and their heirs forever, of the Kings of England, aslands purchased by conquest and the Lords Marcher were permittedto assume such quasi-royal prerogatives and authority as were neces-sary for the quiet government of the country. It is said that norecords can be found of any grant constituting a Lordship Marcherin Wales.

" But the Barony or Lordship of Powys had its origin, not fromconquest, as the other Lordships Marcher had, but by the submissionof the Princes of Upper Powys to the English Crown, and their con-senting to hold their lands in fealty and per baroniam. Griffith, thesecond son of Meredith, the son of Blethin ap' Convyn Prince of

Powys, was, it is said, the first that yielded to the English yoke."In 1177, Owen (Cyveiliog) the son of Griffith ap Meredith,

attended the summons of Henry II to a parliament held at Oxfordabout the first of May in that year, to confer with him on the affairs

of Wales.- Gwenwynwyn, the son of Owen Cyveiliog, was summonedto attend a council at Shrewsbury, in October, 1202,^ and again in

1207 he attended a council at Shrewsbury, and was thrown into prisonand not released until the year 1208, when he covenanted to servethe King (John) de se et de terra sua in perpetuum}

Upon Gwenwynwyn's death, the King exercised the right ashis feudal superior, and conceded his lands to the custody of Llewelynduring the minority of his heir. Griffin,^ who, after attaining his

majority in 1241, was fined three hundred marks for seisin of his

father's lands, and the King took his homage.'' Although summonedto perform military service on several occasions, he does not appearto have been summoned to parliament; but in 1275, upon his break-ing with Llewelyn, his territory was placed under English protection,

and "from this time forward," even if not before, it can be said

"his principality of Powys may be regarded as an English barony,held under the crown of England, like any other Lordship Marcher,^and Griffin ended his life, as he had begun it, a subject of the English

King, and transmitted his lands to his heirs to be held as an English

barony.""Owen de la Pole (also known as Owen of Arwystli, the eldest

son of Griffin ap Gwenwynwyn, appeared at the parliament held at

Shrewsbury in 1283, and surrendered to King Edward I all his lands,

and received them back again sub nomine et tenura liber i Baronagii

nonien et circulum principatus}

Here, from the express surrender of the name and crown of a

prince, it would appear that, notwithstanding four in succession of

his ancestors had submitted to the crown of England and yielded to

hold their lands per baroniam, still, the titular princedom of Powyscontinued in him, and by the jealous policy of the English sovereign

was required to be absolutely, and forever, abandoned in precise and

formal terms.

From the foregoing, it seems safe to affirm that several of the

last princes of Upper Powys, without altogether relinquishing their

princely rights, did become barons of England by tenure, holding

their lands in capite from the English crown.

Owen de la Pole died before October, 1293, leaving an infant

son. Griffin de la Pole, who died in June, 1309, under age, and before

he could succeed to his father's barony. Owen left also a daughter

Hawyse (known as Hawyse Gadarn, or the hardy), who was born

in July, 1291, and was found to be eighteen at the time of her brother's

death, when she became heiress of Powys.The King gave her in marriage shortly afterward to an illus-

trious soldier, John de Cherleton, who had livery of the barony of

La Pole on the 26th August, 1309.^

JOHN DE CHERLETON was undoubtedly a man of great

eminence during the reign of Edward H, and was highly esteemed bythat monarch. A document of the year 1306 names John de Cherleton,

while as yet he was not a knight, and before his future patron. KingEdward H, had ascended the throne. Three months after his acces-

sion, September 18, 1307, Edward II speaks of John de Cherletonas dilectus valettus noster, and gives him a charter of free warren in

all his demesne lands in Pontesbury, in the county of Salop.

Another deed, dated at Cherleton on Wednesday, September18, 1308, marks well the growing importance of John de Cherleton,

the messuage thereby granted being described as bounded on oneside by land of Sir John de Cherleton, Knight.^ And in the list or

roll of the names and arms of the bannerets of England, said to have

of certain lands in the ville of Halghton, jz<.vto Ideshale, in the countyof Salop. It is dated at Dublin, and the seal contains a coat-of-arms,

marriage, he and his descendants bore the armorial ensigns of Powys.The King confirmed the Manor of Pontesbury, which he had

acquired from Master Rese ap Howell, clerk, in exchange for certain

lands in Talgarth, to John de Cherleton, March 20, 1309, in rewardfor his good services, to hold in general tail by the services anciently

due for the same.^

On June 25, 1309, Grififin ap Owen was deceased without issue,

and John de Cherleton having, by license and gift of the King, mar-ried Hawyse,'' in her right acquired the feudal barony of Pole, held

in capite from the crown. And, giving security for payment of his

relief, he had liberty of those lands which, by the death of the said

Griffin descended to her, viz., the barony of Pole, whereunto these

townships did belong, viz., Argingewith, Lamrevel, Kenewyd, Lessin

(Lyssin), Nanneyghand, Kekedena, Buthegedyn, Trenedrite, andBremannyarth, which were held of the King, in capite, by barony;

as also of the manor of Botynton, with its members, viz., Treweenand Hope, saving, nevertheless, the dower of Ela, the widow of the

deceased Griffin.

"The custody of Griffith and Hawyse, the two infant children

of Owen de la Pole, was, first, that is in 1295, granted by KingEdward I, to their grandmother, Hawyse, who was widow of Griffith

ap Wenunwen, but, at the same time, an Englishwoman, for she wasdaughter of the third John le Strange, of Nesse and Cheswardine.

In the first year of Edward II (1307-8), though Hawyse, the grand-

mother, was still alive, the King, for some cause, gave the custody

of Pole Castle and of all the lands, late Owen de la Pole's, to Griffin

de la Pole, although he was at that time a minor." ^

On the 18th June, 1310, Edward II having resolved upon an

invasion of Scotland to repress the rebellion and insolence of Robert

de Brus, issued his writs to the Lords Marcher of Wales to cause foot

soldiers to be raised from their respective lordships. One was directed

to John de Cherleton, ordering his personal attendance as one of the

barons or military tenants, and another to Griffin de la Pole (the

brother of Owen de la Pole, and uncle of the minors, Griffith andHawyse) and John de Cherleton, to raise four hundred men fromtheir land of Powys (terra de Powys)}

At the end of the same year. Griffin de la Pole, pretending a

right to the castle of Pole (subsequently called Red Castle), raised

a great power of the Welsh and laid siege to it. John de Cherletonand Hawyse his wife being then in the castle, the King directed his

precept to Roger de Mortimer, then justice of Wales, to marchthither for their relief and protection, which he accordingly did, andsettled them therein. For this service he had a grant from them of

the inheritance of certain lands in Powys, as also the forest of Uchel-

dre, situate between the rivers Ryw {Rhiew) and Elegy {Luggy),

adjoining to his lordship of Kedewyn."Being thus put into quiet possession, John de Cherleton did

homage to the King for his whole barony, but in the following year

the same Griffin seized upon the territory of Mechan Iscoyt, belonging

to John de Cherleton and his wife Hawyse. Whereupon complaintwas made to the King, and command was given to the Sheriff of

Shropshire ^ to bring Griffith before the King to make answer thereto.

After which, in the seventh year of Edward H, for the better strength-

ening of their title, John and Hawyse procured the King's charter,

for confirmation of all their lands and castles in North Wales, SouthWales and Powys; with license for a market on the Monday, everyweek, at Pole. As also for two fairs every year; the one on the eve,

day and morrow after the Feast of the Ascension of our Lord, andthe other on the eve, day and morrow after the Feast of St. Edwardthe King. Likewise, for a market at Maghenthleyth, in the commotof Keynelvok, upon the Tuesday every week; and two fairs yearly,

one on the eve, day and morrow of the Apostles Peter and Paul, andthe other on the eve, day and morrow of St. Edmund, the Arch-bishop.''

In the seventeenth year of Edward H (1323-4) by a charter

which passed at the said castle of Pole on the Thursday next after

the Feast of Easter, Lord John de Cherleton Dominus Powis (Hawyse,his wife, not joining therein) granted and confirmed to his belovedburgesses of the town of Pole, common of pasture daily for their

cattle of all kinds, in those lands which Lord Owen, son of LordGriffith ap Gwenwynwyn, his predecessor, had perambulated for theuse and profits of the said burgesses, within certain specified bounds,

and subject to a condition that the lands should not be tilled orapplied to any other use than pasturage.

This title of Powys land is the appropriate designation of theterritory which John de Cherleton derived through his marriage withthe heiress of the princes of Upper Powys. The ancient principality

of Powys, doubtless, originally comprised a much larger extent of

country, but was divided into two portions on the death of Meredithap Blethin, the one called Powis Fadoc, and the other called PowysGwenwynwyn. The latter portion, with the exception of the commotor lordship of Mowddwy, became vested in John de Cherleton, thefeudal baron, if not the parliamentary peer, of Powys, and in the

writ before mentioned of 18th June, 1310 (3d Edward II), the termterra de Powys is applied to the territory which devolved upon himin right of his wife. The other Lords Marcher,^ w'ho held as baronsby tenure the territories w-hich constituted the principality of PowysFadog, were addressed by their proper titles, and their possessions

designated by the names which they held, distinct from the desig-

nation of Powys.On the 24th March, 7th Edward II (1314), John de Cherleton is

again directed to raise five hundred foot soldiers from his lands of

Powys. ^ In 1316, a number of Welsh rebels had risen against the

King's authority, and John de Cherleton was by writ of 26th Feb-ruary in that year, enjoined to quell their wickedness, and the Justiciar

of Chester was commanded to muster all the able-bodied men of his

bailiwick, as well horse as foot, and to march with them under the

command of John de Cherleton. Again, on 27th June, 10th Edward II

(1317), he was charged to raise two hundred foot soldiers in his lands

of Builth, and three hundred in his lands of Powys; and on the 4th

and 8th June, 12th Edward II (1319), to raise five hundred foot

soldiers out of his lands of Powys.

^

The King, in consequence of hostile demonstrations at Breck-

nock on the 13th April, 14th Edward II (1321), issued writs to nine

of the Lords Marcher, enjoining them to cause peace to be preserved

in their respective lordships. That to John de Cherleton was ad-

dressed to him as Dominus de Powis. ^ On the 12th November fol-

lowing, he was enjoined not to attend the meeting of good peers,

illegally convened by the Earl of Lancaster on the 29th of that

month. This did not prevent John de Cherleton joining in the

rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster, and taking up arms against the

King, who, in retaliation, appears to have taken possession of his

rebellious barons' lands.

The King addressed a writ, 11th February, 15th Edward II

(1322) to Robertus de Sapy, Custos of the land of Powys, command-ing him in fide et dilectione to raise all the knights and esquires andall men-at-arms and foot soldiers of his lordship. The clause threaten-

ing punishment is omitted, but it is intimated that those who refuse

to comply will be considered disalifected to the King.

Robertus de Sapy, together with Grififin ap Owein, Madoc deHendor, and Madoc Thloyt, was appointed commissioner of array

on the fourteenth day, the last named month, for raising no less a

force in the land of Powys than fifteen hundred men.^ The writ of

that date recites that the King wished to proceed against the Scots,

who, upon the expiration of the truce, had invaded England, andagainst certain magnates of the kingdom who had long been rebellious

against the royal authority, and had besieged the castle of Tickhill.

The Battle of Boroughbridge' took place, the 16th and 17th

March, 15th Edward II (1322), in which the King was victorious overthe Earl of Lancaster, and the other rebellious barons, a large numberof whom were slain or taken prisoners. In the long list of such appearthe names of six knights who surrendered themselves, and received

pardon of the King. John de Cherleton was one of the six, and healso obtained the King's letters to all his tenants who held of his

castle of Pole, and in Powys, granting them pardon in order that

they may not withhold their services.^

So speedily, however, did the King overlook John de Cherle-

ton's rebellion, and so highly did he value his bravery and skill, that

on the 25th of the same month the latter was again summoned to

perform military service in person against the Scots in the following

June.^

In the recognisances which he entered into on the 11th July,

16th Edward II (1322), as one of the manucaptors, for the good behav-iour of Gulfridus de Beaufour, on his being discharged from imprison-

ment as an adherent of the Earl of Lancaster, he is termed JohannesDominus de Powis} On 12th April, 16th Edward 11 (1323), he is again,

as Dominus terrae de Ponys, charged to raise five hundred foot soldiers.^

By a writ dated the 14th November, 17th Edward II (1323), in

which he is addressed as Seign' de Powys, he is prohibited from hold-

ing any correspondence with Roger Mortimer de Wygemor after his

escape from the Tower, and ordered to pursue and arrest him.^

In the second year of Edward III (1328-9), in a letter from theKing to the Abbot of Citeaux, requesting that the visitation of theAbbey of Strata Marcella, in Powys land, should (in consequence of

the dissolute lives of the monks, its inmates) be committed to theAbbot of Buldewas instead of the Abbot of Alba Domus, the original

visitor, whose discipline had been too lax, the King mentioned his

beloved and faithful John de Cherleton, Knight, as the patron of theabbey, an office which he doubtless acquired of his wife Hawyse, theheiress and representative of her ancestor, Owen Cyveiliog, founderof the monastery. The King had received from John de Cherleton,

as such patron, a faithful report of the state of the monastery, whichprobably led to the correction of the enormous abuses which hadgrown up, and to the removal of the Welsh monks and the placing

of English monks in their stead.

^

Senior, he was constituted Justice of Ireland. And in the seventeenthof the same reign, ^ he entered into an agreement by indenture withRalphe, Lord Stafford, that John, his grandson and heir, should marryJoan, the daughter of the said Ralphe and of Margaret his wife

(daughter of the Earl of Gloucester), and thereupon he should settle

the territory' of Dendor in Powys upon them and the issue of the

marriage, her portion being a thousand pounds and a thousandmarks.

burgesses of Llanidloes in 1344, which was confirmed by his succes-

sors.'* In the Calais roll of Edward III, appears Charlton: Or a lion

1347, after a siege of eleven months, and that he then bore the

ancient armorial ensigns of the princes of Powys. Upon apprehensionof some danger from the French, he was ordered to raise one hundredmen from his lands of Powys, in 1353.^

John de Cherleton was summoned to parliament among the

barons of the realm from 26th July, 7th Edward II (1313), to 25th

July, 27th Edward III (1353), as Johanni de Cherleton, and from30th July, 12th Edward III (1338), to 30th July, 20th Edward III

his son and heir, fourteen years of age, and Joan, his wife, him sur-

viving. She was deceased in 21st Richard II (1397).^

John de Cherleton, the fourth of the name, making proof of

his age in 6th Richard II, and doing homage, had livery of his lands

and in 11th Richard II was made Justice of North Wales. ^ He wassummoned to parliament as Johanni de Charleton de Powys, from 9th

August, 6th Richard II (1382), to 3d October, 2d Henry IV (1400).*

He married Alice, the daughter of Richard Fitz Alan, Earl of Arundel,*

and died on Wednesday after the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist,

namely, 19th October, 3d Henry IV (1401), leaving no issue, butEdward, his brother and heir, thirty years of age, who, subsequently

doing homage, had livery of his lands. "^

At the privy council held in November, 3d Henry IV (1401),'

among other things brought forward was the matter touching the

land of Powys and the Castle de la Pole, which had lately comeinto the hands of the King by the death of the Lord of Powys, andalso touching the governance of the castle of Montgomery, and the

three other castles on the border of the heritage of the Earl of March,whether they should be committed for the time to the charge of the

Lord Burnell. Dugdale states that Lord Burnell was appointedgovernor of the castles of Montgomery, Dolvoreyn (Dolvorgan) andKenles.

EDWARD DE CHERLETON, Lord of Powys, took posses-

sion of the lands he inherited from his brother, and of his castle of

La Pole, but he lived in troublous times, and the rebellion which wasthen raging caused him great concern. In a letter of the 5th August,4th Henry IV (1403), he advised the privy council of the incursions

of the Welsh into the marches, and prayed them to send reinforce-

ments that the garrisons of the marches might be supplied with men

who could secure the crops and prevent the rebels taking possessionof the same, carrying them oflf to the mountains for their futuresupport, and thus enabling them to continue their traitorousdesigns.

On the 8th day of September, 1403, Henry IV took means for

securing the Welsh castles, by placing over them persons of tried

fidelity, and by his writ of that date issued at Worcester, he com-mitted the custody of the castle of Carylon and Usk to EdwardCherleton, of Powys, Knight. This was a few months after the Battleof Shrewsbury,^ in which Hotspur- was defeated and killed, and thecircumstances of Edward de Cherleton being appointed to take chargeof a castle in South Wales, and at a considerable distance from his

own estates, leads to the inference that the rebels moved from his

neighbourhood.In the same year (1403) Lady Powys, the first wife of Sir

Edward de Cherleton, represented to the King'^ the charge she wasat in the maintenance of her two daughters by her first husband,Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, and likewise the devastation of all

her dowry in Wales, and also the spoil upon her then husband's.Lord de Powys', lands by the Welsh. She obtained the grant of all

annuities, forfeitures and reversions of annuities which the said

Earl, her first husband, had assigned to several persons, of the valueof £105 per annum.

In the next year we find that at the council held about the30th August, 1404, permission was given to the county of Salop to

make a truce with the country of Wales, until the end of November,and the King assented also to the Lord of Powys making the like

truce for his castle of Pole.^ On the 29th day of June, in the seventhyear of Henry IV (1406), Edward de Cherleton Dominus Powys, byhis charter of that date, after noticing the charter from Griffith apGwenwynwyn, and the two charters from John de Cherleton to the

burgesses of Pole, ratified the same to the said burgesses who (he

states) in the time of the rebellion of Owen ap Griffith, were always

faithful to otir sovereign lord the King and to us. And he extended

their privileges and enlarged the boundaries of their borough, andgranted them certain immunities within his lordship of Powis.

Sometime prior to April 1408, Edward de Cherleton was (with

five others, among whom were Eric, King of Denmark, and John the

First, King of Portugal) elected a Knight of the most Noble Orderof the Garter, and received the robes for the Feast of St. George in

'July 21 or 23, 1403.' Percy, surnamed Hotspur, son of the Earl of Northumberland, had conspired to dethrone Henry

1408 and 1409. ^ In the 8th Henry IV, he was one of the Baronspresent at the settlement of the succession of the Crown.

-

In the ninth year of Henry IV, Edward de Cherleton sustained

great loss in the rcbelhon of Owen Glendower, in consideration whereof

he obtained the King's pardon^ for those of his tenants in Powyswho submitted.

One of the chief incidents in the hfe of Edward de Cherleton

was the part he took in the apprehension of Sir John Oldcastle, LordCobham, who had been condemned for maintaining the doctrines

of Wycliffe. Sir John Oldcastle, escaping from the Tower in 1413,

lay concealed with some Lollard friends at Broniarth,^ in Powys land,

and near the residence of Sir Griffith Vaughan. King Henry the

Fifth issued a proclamation ^ in 1414 that 500 marks should be given

to any person who discovered the Lord Cobham, so that he mightbe taken, and that he who apprehended him should be rewarded with

a thousand marks. Again ^ in 1416 the King issued a proclamation

that Oldcastle, Lord Cobham having refused to come in and throwhimself on the King's mercy, any person who apprehended himshould have the reward of a 1000 marks in money, and twenty markspaid him during his life and that any city or town which caused himto be seized should be free from paying all tenths and fifteenths or

other taxes, and should on all occasions enjoy the benefit of the

King's special favour.

Under these circumstances, piety, patriotism, or cupidity

moved Edward de Cherleton to aspire to the glory of arresting the

fugitive. The friends of the bishops corresponded with him fromtime to time, and are described as feeding him with lordly gifts andpromises to accomplish their desire, which in the end he did. In

the latter end of the year 1417, Edward de Cherleton being informed

where he lay hid, came with a strong guard to seize him. They foundit a more difficult and dangerous business than they had contem-plated, to take a man of his courage, who bravely defended himself,

and wounded several of those who assaulted him. At last a rabble

gathering about him, he was overpowered, and being hurt in the leg

he fell after receiving many wounds.^ Another writer quaintly says:

It cost some blows and blood to apprehend him, till a woman with astool broke Lord Cobham's legs, whereby he became lame} The scene

of the capture is situate in the township of Broniarth, in the parish

Immediately it was known that he was taken, Sir John Greywas sent down by the parliament to convey him to London, whichhe did under a strong guard, and he was brought before parliament,

on the 18th December, 1417. Having before been outlawed for

treason in the King's Bench, and excommunicated for heresy, it wasadjudged that he should be carried to the new gallows in St. Giles's

Fields, to be hanged as a traitor and burned as a heretic, and thewarrant for his execution was instantly signed. He was hanged onthe gallows by a chain fastened about his middle, and recommendinghis soul to his Redeemer, was consumed in the flames of a great fire

kindled under him . . . Thus dyed the great Lord Cobham, and as

this was the first noble blood that was shed in England on account of

religion by Popish cruelty, so perhaps never any suffered a more cruel

martyrdom.One other proceeding immediately followed the condemnation

of Sir John Oldcastle. A motion was made, and unanimously agreed

to by the parliament, that Edward de Cherleton should be thankedand rewarded according to the proclamation for the signal service

he had rendered the State in bringing to justice the traitor andheretic, who for four years had successfully eluded all the efforts

that were made to apprehend him.' Edward de Cherleton after-

ward conferred favours upon the persons who played the subordinate

parts in this transaction. Upon Sir John Grey he bestowed the handof his elder daughter, Joan.

Edward de Cherleton was summoned to parliament as^ EdwardCherleton de Poivys from 2d December, 3d Henry IV (1401), to 26thFebruary, 9th Henry V (1421). He died on Friday before PalmSunday, 14th March, 9th Henry V (1421), being then seized of ^ the

castle and manor of Pole, etc., leaving issue by Alianore, his first

wife, daughter of Thomas and one of the sisters and co-heirs of

Edmund Holland, Earl of Kent (widow of Roger Mortimer, Earl of

March), two daughters, namely Joan, aged twenty-one years, andJoyce, aged eighteen, his co-heiresses, and also leaving Elizabeth,

his second wife him surviving, she being the daughter of Sir JohnBerkeley, of Beverstone, and having subsequently married John deSutton, fourth Baron Dudley.* She died in 1479.^

THE PRINCES OF UPPER POWYS

"The history of the W^elsh princes, though they have never

wanted bards or chroniclers to recount their martial deeds, is too often

but a tissue of family feuds and acts of mutual recrimination andplunder. The fatal law of gafel, under which each of the sons claimed

a share of his father's inheritance, by dividing their interests, so

reduced their strength as to render them at length a prey to their

common enemy, the Normans. Their history, however, is by nomeans wanting in deeds of valour or individual gallantry; and the

protracted resistance which they offered to the repeated aggressions

of their powerful neighbours is a sufficient proof of their courage andmartial spirit. They fell at length rather from their own internal

dissensions than to the force of the English arms." In the time of Roderic the Great, A.D. 850, the whole of Wales

was united under one rule; but at his death, in 877, it was divided

between his sons into three principalities, best known as North Wales,

South Wales and Powys, over each of which the princes of Gwyneth,or North Wales, had a nominal supremacy assigned to them.

"The principality of Powys, or the country above the Wye,which fell to Mervyn, the third son, comprehended Montgomeryshire,parts of Shropshire, and Merionethshire, and parts of the present

counties of Brecknock, Denbigh, and Radnor."^

BLETHIN AP CONVYN ap GWERYSTAN, known as the

founder of the third royal tribe of Wales, held the principality of

Powys in 1064. He "also assumed the sovereignty of North andSouth Wales to the exclusion of their lawful princes, and thus again

united the dominions of his maternal ancestor, Roderic. His title

to Powys was derived in female succession from his great grand-

mother Angharad, who was the granddaughter and representative

of Mervyn, son of Roderic the Great.

^

MEREDITH ap BLETHIN, Prince of Powys, succeeded to

the greater portion of Powys after his father's death in 1073. Hedied in 1129.

GRIFFITH AP MEREDITH, second son of Meredith apBlethin, died in the hfetime of his father in 1125. All we hear of

him is that, in the year 1113, in conjunction with his cousin, Einion

ap Cadwgan, he attacked the castle of Uchtryd ap Edwin at Cymmerin Merioneth, and took from him the districts of Merioneth, Cyveilioc

and Penllyn, which the conquerors divided between them.The sons of Griffith ap Meredith were minors at the time of

their father's death, and fell under the guardianship of their uncle

Madoc after the death of their grandfather Meredith.^

OWEN DE CYVEILIOC, otherwise called Owen ap Griffin,

Prince of Upper Powys, was in the King's pay, September 29, 1158,

and by the name of Owen, son of Griffin, received five marks of

silver from the King's treasury. On September 29, 1160, a similar

entry occurs in the Pipe Rolls, of a gift of forty shillings from the

King to Owen, son of Griffin." It would seem that his lands, or a part of them, were at this

time withheld from him by Owen Gwyneth, Prince of North Wales;for the chronicle informs us that, in 1161, Howel ap Jevaf got pos-

session of the castle of Tafolwern in Cyveilioc through treachery,

and that this was a cause of great grief to Owen Gwyneth, who re-

taliated by invading Arustli, the territory of Howel, which he spoiled,

and afterwards rebuilt his castle (of Tafolwern). If the Prince of

North Wales had thus for a time had the lands of Owen Cyveilioc

in his possession, it is probable that they were restored to the latter

before the year 1165, at which time we find him, in concert withOwen Gwyneth, and the rest of his countrymen, resisting the in-

vasion of King Henry, and bearing an honourable share in the battle

of Corwen, whence the king was forced to retreat with considerable

loss and personal danger."^

A serious quarrel occurred between Owen Gwynedd, Rhys apGrufTydd and Owen de CyveiHoc in 1167. The latter, with Nor-man aid came off the victor. In 1177, he attended the summons of

Henry II, to a parliament held at Oxford, about the 1st of May in

that year, to confer with him on the affairs of Wales.^

When Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, made a visitation

of Wales, in 1188, for the purpose of preaching the Crusade, andcelebrated mass in all the cathedrals, which had never been done byeither of his predecessors, he does not appear to have been welcomedby Owen. Giraldus, who accompanied the prelate in his tour, informs

us that after Easter in that year he came with his retinue fromOswestry to Slopesbury (Shrewsbury), where they remained somedays to refresh themselves; and many assumed the cross in obedience

to the precepts of the archbishop, and the gracious sermons of the

Archdeacon of St. David's. Here, also, they excommunicated Owende CyveiHoc, because he alone, of all the Welsh princes, had not ad-

vanced to meet the archbishop.'

Owen Cyveilioc died in 1197 at a very advanced age, after put-

ting on the habit of religion at Ystrad Marchell, the monastery hehad founded. His designation of Cyveilioc or Kevelioc, as it wasusuallj' written by the English, was taken from the commot or lord-

ship of that name, in the southwestern part of the present county of

Montgomery, which contains the parishes of Darowen, Kemmes,Llanbrinmare, Llanwrin, Machynlleth, and Penegoes. The ruins of

his castle are still to be seen at Tafolwern in Cyveilioc* Owen wasa distinguished bard, and lived in the Augustan age of Welsh poetry.

His poem called Hirlas Owain affords a specimen of his martial

spirit.

"Giraldus Cambrensis records that he was the most eloquent

of the Welsh princes and conspicuous for the good management of

his territory. Having generally favoured the Royal cause, he hadcontracted a great familiarity with King Henry II, and being with

the king at table in Shrewsbury, Henry, as a mark of peculiar honourand regard, sent him one of his own loaves, Owen immediately brake

it into small pieces, like bread given away in charity; and having,

like an almoner, placed them at a distance from him, he took themup, one by one, and ate them. The king requiring an explanation of

this proceeding, Owen, with a smile replied, / thus follow the example

of my lord, keenly alluding to the avaricious disposition of the king,

who was accustomed to retain for a long time in his own hands the

vacant ecclesiastical benefices." ^

"Owen Cyveilioc is said to have married Gwenthlian, the

daughter of Prince Owen Gwyneth, by whom he had one son, Wen-wynwyn, who inherited his patrimony entire,'^ except the commot of

Llannerchhudol, and the lordship of Broniarth, which were bestowedby Owen upon his natural son, Caswalhon Maeleri, for life, andafterwards reverted to Wenwynwyn, or his son."

WENW^NWYN DE CYVEILIOC, the son of Owen.^ " In the

lifetime of his father, he conquered the cantred of Arustli, probably

from the Prince of North Wales, to whom it had been given byHenry II in 1171; and he recovered his castle of Pole, or PowysCastle, from Archbishop Hubert, the King's Justiciary, by whom it

had been previously taken in September 1196.^ The recapture of

the castle is placed by Hoveden and Stowe in 1197. His first exploit

had been of a less worthy character. In conjunction with his base

brother Caswalhon, in 1186, he had treacherously attacked and slain

his father's cousin, Owen Vachan ap Madoc, at the castle of Carre-

ghova, near Oswestry." In 1197, Wenwynwyn succeeded to the territory of his father,

which was henceforth called Powys Wenwynwyn. At this period hemust have been at peace with the English; for at Michaelmas, 1198,

the sheriff of Shropshire paid Wenonwen fitz Oen £2 : 3 : 4 in recom-

pense for injuries done him by Caswallahus, his brother in a time of

peace}

"But this peace was not of long duration; for in the sameyear, according to Yorke, we find him rising against them. Promptedat once by a pardonable ambition, and in revenge for the cruel murderof his kinsman, Trahaiarn Vachan, at the hands of the English,

Wenwynwyn conceived a great design, no less than the restoration

of the Welsh to their ancient rights and liberties, and the extensionof his country to its ancient limits.^ With views so popular, hespeedily raised a large army, and being joined by the other Welshprinces and chieftains, proceeded to attack William de Braose, theinstigator of Trahaiarn's murder, at Pain's Castle in Radnor. TheLords Marcher, being unable to relieve the place, released their

prisoner Griffith, Lord of South Wales, who had previously beengiven up to them by Wenwynwyn. Griffith collected his followers

and joined his forces to the English, who then attacked Wenwynwynin the open plain near the castle. In this action the latter wasdefeated, and the allies remained masters of the field.

^"

"In the year 1201, by the name of Wenwynwyn, son of OwenKyfeiliog, he gives to God, the glorious Virgin Mother, and the

monks of Strath Marchel, for the repose of his soul, all the pasturagein the whole province of Kyfeiliog. In the following year, October1202, he was summoned to attend a council at Shrewsbury, andLlewelyn seized the opportunity afforded by his absence to invadehis possessions.^ At the close of that year, however, we find himreconciled to the Prince of North Wales, through the mediation of

the other Welsh princes whom Llewelyn had summoned to his

assistance; and the Lord of Powys was then induced to take the

same oaths of allegiance to Llewelyn as he had before done to the

King of England, from which last he had been discharged by a dis-

pensation from Rome."This change of circumstances gave him an opportunity of

retaliating upon his former enemies, of which he was not slow to

avail himself; and on January 18, 1203, the King's letters patent

were issued to G. Fitz-Peter, ordering him to repair the injuries

done by Wenwynwyn and his followers to William de Braose and his

men, since he returned to the King's peace, and also to render themsuch assistance as should enable them to defend themselves against

his future attacks. In the following year this turbulent chieftain

appears to have been willing to listen, at least, once more to terms

of peace. A letter from King John, dated August 10, 1204, informs

Wenunwin de Kevelloc that the King has appointed Hugh Pantulf

and Robert Corbet to ensure him a safe conduct if he comes to a

court shortly to be held at Woodstock;^ though it does not appear

that the King's overtures were accepted."" In the year 1207, having again quarrelled with Llewelyn, Wen-

wynwyn fell into the hands of the King, who, after having insidiously

invited him to Shrewsbury to confer with his council, threw him into

prison in order to win the favour of Llewelyn. Nor was the captiveprince released until he had consented to certain hard articles of

accommodation.^ By this convention, before alluded to, which is

dated on the eve of St. Denis, in the tenth year of John's reign

(October 7, 1208), the King being then at Shrewsbury, the Prince,

therein called Wennuen ap Owen Keveliac, covenanted to serve the

King de se et de terra sua in perpetuiim, and bound himself to find

twenty hostages as his security. If he failed to procure twelve of

them in the course of a week, he was to remain as a forfeited captive,

and to abide for the eight others; but after all the hostages hadarrived, then Wennuen himself should be set free."^

During his captivity, his lands, which had been nominallytaken into the King's custody, were seized and devastated by Llew-

elyn. On the 25th of June, 1209, Robert Corbet was entrusted bythe King with twenty merks, which he w'as to convey as a present

to Woenwnoen Walensis.' "But if we may believe an old chronicle

of the Fitzwarins written when Ludlow belonged to the Lacys, andconsequently, not later than 1240, the perfidious monarch was amplyrepaid for his treachery towards the Prince of Powys, for the latter

soon after united his forces with the Lord of Whittington (Fulke

Fitzwarin), and defeated the King with immense loss, obliging himto retire with disgrace from the country. It was with English assist-

ance, however, that he recovered his lands of Powys, and, in con-

junction with other of the Welsh princes, he seems to have takenpart with King John in his campaign against Llewelyn in 1211, the

result of which was the temporary pacification of Wales, and the

submission of all the Welsh princes.^

"This peace, however, was of short duration; for in the fol-

lowing year (1212) the Welsh, encouraged by the Pope, again rose

in arms against the King, and took from him certain of his castles

in North Wales. In this war Wenwynwyn threw off his forced

allegiance and oath of fidelity to the King, from which he had oncemore been absolved by the Roman pontifif, and recovered the Castle

of Mathraval in Powys, which had been raised by Robert Vipont,and garrisoned for the King.

"On August 18th, 1214, King John, being then at Angouleme,deputes John le Strange and Robert Corbet as the royal commis-sioners to swear to a truce, which the King had recently negotiated

with Llewelyn, Wenunwen, Maelgon, Madoc ap Griffin, and otherWelshmen.' But the revolt of the English barons in the following

year afforded Wenwynwyn another pretext for hostilities; and as

Fulke Fitzwarin was one of the first to rise on this occasion, it mayperhaps have been at this time that these worthies accomplishedtheir joint raid against the King as recorded in the Fitzwarin chron-icle. The manor of Ashford, which had formerly been bestowed uponWenwynwyn, was given in the following year to B. de Insula, to

hold during the King's pleasure.

"This was the period of Wales's greatest triumph, when the

Welsh recovered a great portion of their ancient possessions, andeven Shrewsbury was for a year or more in the hands of Llewelyn.

It was captured in 1215 by Llewelyn with the assistance of Wenwyn-wyn and others; and as it was in early times the capital of Powysland, it is by no means improbable that the Lord of Powys may haveexpected to have it given up to him, as the conquests in South Waleshad been relinquished to the hereditary princes of the house of

Dynevor."Margaret, the wife of Wenwynwyn, was the daughter of

Robert, Lord Corbet of Caus." -

GRIFFIN AP WENWYNW\"N (otherwise called Griffin deKeveolec and Griffin de la Pole), Prince of Powys, was a minorwhen his father died about the year 1218, and his lands were in the

custody of Llewelyn ap Jerwerth, Prince of North Wales.

"In 1240, Llewelyn ap Jerwerth, the aged prince of NorthWales, died, and was succeeded by his son David. In the following

year, we find Griffin ap Wenwynwyn, with other leading men of

Wales, petitioning the King for the release of Prince Griffin, the

elder son of Llewelyn, who had been imprisoned by his brother

David." '

David was subsequently compelled to make terms with the

King; and among other conditions, it was stipulated that he should

restore to the King's subjects all the lands which had been taken

from them since the commencement of the wars between King Johnand his father Llewelyn, and that he should give up to the King all

the homages that King John had received, or ought to have received,

especially from the noblemen of Wales.^

"Powys land was now made over to its rightful prince; andabout the month of August of the same year, 1241, Griffin, son of

Wennunwen, fined three hundred merks for seisin of all his father's

lands, saving the right of any other; and the King took his homage.Grifiin, on his part, promised faithful service for himself and his

heirs, and in default, that his lands should be forfeited; for whichhe gave hostages. ^ In the next year we find him married to Hawyse,daughter of John le Strange, of Knockin, and by the King's license

assigning her dower in the manor of Ashford, county Derry." ^

"The Lord of Powys had commenced his early life under the

protection of King Henry III, and in his service, his Welsh baronybeing in the hands of Llewelyn ap Jerwerth, Prince of Wales, fromwhose son David it was recovered to him in 1241. He remained true

to his English allegiance for many years, and his loyalty survived

the first outburst of Welsh glory and success. It was not until his

country had been conquered by Llewelyn and lost to the English

beyond all reasonable hope of recovery, and his claims upon that

more English portion of his ancient territory lying east of the Severn,

had been practically repudiated in favour of the Lord of Caus, that

at length he joined the standard of his native country, entered into

an alliance offensive and defensive with Llewelyn, and received backfrom him his territory' to be held of the Prince of Wales. This state

of things was subsequently recognized by the King of England, whoacknowledged the title assumed by Llewelyn and consented to his

receiving the fealty and homage of all the barons of Wales, so that

Powys land was thus once more annexed to the principality of Wales,

and so continued for a period of about twelve years."*

"On Ash Wednesday (February 27), 1286, by deed dated at

Botinton, the aged Lord of Powys, made over to Griffin, his youngerson, the land of Mechain Uchcoed, together with the reversion of

Mochnant Uch Rhaiader after the death of his mother, which latter

had before been held by Llewelyn, another of his younger sons." *

This is the last record of Griffin de la Pole, the son of Wenwynwyn,who must have died soon after. The inquest taken after his deathwas preserved among the records of 14th Edward I (1285-6).

Griffin ended his life, as he had begun it, a subject of the

English King, and transmitted his lands to his heirs to be held as

an English barony. By his wife Hawyse, the daughter of John le

Strange of Nesse and Cheswardine, he had six sons and a daughter,Margaret, wife of Fulke Fitzwarin of Whittington.^

Hawyse, the widow of Griffin, survived her husband manyyears. During his Hfetime she had acquired the royal manor of

Church Stretton by the gift of her brother, Hamo le Strange.^ Hamoaccompanied Prince Edward to the crusade of 1270, and before his

departure made over his estates at Ellesmere and Stretton to his

brother Roger and his sister Hawyse.^ In 1294-5, Hawyse, widow of

Griffin de la Pole, had the custody assigned to her of the castle of

La Pole, and all the lands which had belonged to her son Owen de la

Pole, deceased, which he had held of the King in capite, and whichwere in the King's hands by reason of the minority of his heir.

She died about November 1310. The writ of diem clausit

extremum was issued on November 22d.^ The inquest after her deathwas taken at Westbury, on January 10, 1311. Her granddaughterHawyse, sister of Griffin, son of Owen de la Pole, was her heir, andalready married to John de Cherleton; and the said Ha^\yse wasnineteen years of age on the feast of St. Margaret the Virgin last

past (July 20, 1310).^

OWEN DE LA POLE, better known as Owen of Arustli, eldest

son of Griffin ap Wenwynwyn, appears to have held the cantred of

Arustli during his father's lifetime,for in the 8th of Edward! (1279-80),

he had a charter for a weekly market on Saturday at his town of

Thlanidleys (Llanidloes, in the cantred of Arustli), as also for twoannual fairs there, to be held respectively, on the eve and on the

day of St. Margaret the Virgin (July 19, 20), and on the eve and the

day of St. Luke the Evangelist (October 17, 18).^ His father hadprobably made over to him his interest in this disputed territory,

which appears to have subsequently fallen into the hands of Prince

Llewelyn ap Griffin. On the death of the latter, December 11, 1282,

it was reoccupied by Owen,^ whose right was doubtless acknowledgedby the Crown, for he afterwards obtained a renewal of his charter

for a market and fairs at Thlanidleys.

At the parliament held at Shrewsbury, in the autumn of the

year 1283, he surrendered all his lands to King Edward, and received

them back again under the name and tenure of free baronage of

England, on resigning to the King and his heirs and to the Crown of

England, the name and crown of a prince.^ On the 4th July, 1292,

Philip de Montgomery, warden of the forest of Canok, was ordered

to allow Owen de la Pole to have ten bucks from the said forest of

the King's gift.^

Joanna, the wife of Owen, is said to have been the daughter

of Sir Robert Corbet of Wattlesburgh, and Moreton Corbet, by his

first wife Catherine (Ida?) daughter of John le Strange, who would

thus have been his first cousin. Owen de la Pole died before October

15, 1293, leaving two infant children of about two and three years

of age. The inquest post mortem was ordered October 15, 1293, and

held at La Pole on the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday

before, and on (Sunday) the feast of St. Nicholas (December 1, 2, 3,

5 and 6), 1295. The jury reported that he died seized of the follow-

ing manors and estates, namely, the manor of Mathravel in Karey-

non, Soetlanverwodel with the adjacent hamlets, the town of LaPole, the manor of Walwerne in Keveylok, the town of Mathenli in

Cavelok, the town of Lanlidelas in Arwystli, the manor of Penpres

in Iscoet (or Penpres in Arwystli) with the adjacent hamlets, the

manor of Talgart in Arwystli with certain hamlets adjacent, and the

town of Langerik, all of which were held by the service of the baronyof La Pole. Griffin, his son and heir, was of the age of two years onthe Palm Sunday last past.^

In the same year Malcolm de Harley had orders to take in

hand the lands and tenements which were of Owen de la Pole de-

ceased. In 1294, Joanna, the widow of Owen de la Pole, was assigned

her dower in Walwern Keveyllock and Mathravel. The following

year she had the custody assigned to her of two parts of the lands

and tenements in Powys, which were of Ludowicus (Llewelyn) de

la Pole, which the said Ludowicus had held of the King in capite,

and which were in the King's hands by reason of the minority of his

heir.

She was afterwards married to Roger Tromwyn, of Cannockin the county of Stafford, sheriff of Staffordshire in 1308, and again

in 1317. In 1319, Sir Roger Tromwyn was admitted a burgess of

Shrewsbury; and, from many circumstances, appears to have been

frequently resident there and in its neighbourhood. We learn from

the Parliament Rolls of 1st Edward II, says Blakeway,^ that he

held, in right of the dower of Joanna his wife, certain lands in

the parts of Powys in Wales, the reversion whereof pertained to

Griffin ap Owen de la Pole.

Joanna survived her second husband, and had her dower in

Herdwicke-juxta-Sardon. In 1333, as Johanna de la Pole, quondamuxor Rogeri Tromwyne militis, she gave to her son Robert Tromwyn,clerk, all her lands in Le Herdwyke, within the manor of Sardon.^

HAWYSE, the daughter of Owen de la Pole, better known as

Hawyse Gadarn, or the hardy, born in July, 1291, succeeded to the

lands of Powys upon the death of her brother Griffin de la Pole,

which occurred before June 25, 1309. "The King gave her in mar-riage shortly after to John de Cherleton, who, on August 26th of the

same year (1309), had li\ery of the barony of La Pole, saving the

dower of Ela, widow of the deceased Griffin."^

Sir John de Cherleton, Lord of Powys, was high in the King's

esteem, and constantly employed by him in matters of great trust

and importance. He died in 1353, at the advanced age of eighty-

five, having been summoned to parliament from July 26, 1313, to

July 25, 1353, as Johanni de Cherleton; and from August 25, 1338,

to July 30, 1346, with the addition of seniori? Mr. Yorke says of

his wife Haw}se de la Pole that she died some time before him; and,

as I learn from Dugdale and John Salisbury of Erbistock, she lies

buried in the dissolved house of the Grey Friars, of her own foundation,

MORTIMER OF WIGMORE^

Arms: Barry of six or and azure, on a chief of the first, three pallets between

two esquires, bast dexter, and sinister of the second, an inescutcheon

argent.

RALPH DE MORTIMER accompanied William the Con-queror in his invasion of England, "being one of the chiefest com-manders in the whole army. And shortly after that signal conquest,

as the most puissant of his captains, was sent into Wales, to encounterEdric, Earl of Shrewsbury, who would not submit to the Normanyoke."

After a long siege in Wigmore Castle he subdued Shrewsburyand delivered him into the King's hands, "who thereupon rewardedhis services with all the earl's lands, and he seated himself at Wig-more." By his wife Millicent he had two sons: Hugh, his successor,

and William, Lord of Chelmersh, and a daughter Hawyse, wife of

Stephen, Earl of Albemarle.

HUGH DE MORTIMER, son and heir of Ralph, "being

proud and turbulent, opposed the accession of Henry II, but at

length became a canon in the abbey of Wigmore, begun by his father

but perfected and endowed largely by himself." He died in Cleo-

bur>' in 1188, leaving issue by Maud his wife, daughter of William

Longespe, Duke of Normandy, four sons: Roger, Hugh, Ralph andWilliam.

ROGER DE MORTIMER, third Lord of Wigmore, "was a

brave man, and much enlarged his territories, and drove away thieves

[55 1

and robbers from those parts; and was also a benefactor to the abbeyof Wigmore."

He married first, Millicent, daughter of Ferrers, Earl of Derby,by whom he had Hugh, his son and heir; married second Isabel,

sister and heir to Hugh de Ferrers of Oakham. He died in 1216,

and was succeeded by his son Hugh, who "having been much woundedin a tournament, died the eleventh year of Henry HI" (1227).

RALPH DE MORTIMER, half brother of Hugh, was his

successor, and "being of a military disposition, built several strong

castles, whereby he exceedingly enlarged his possessions against the

Welsh, and so restrained their incursions, that Prince Llewelyn,

gave him his daughter Gladuse (widow of Reginald de Braose) in

marriage." He died in 1246.

ROGER DE MORTIMER, eldest son of Ralph, succeeded.

In 1247, "paying 2000 marks to the king, had livery of all his lands,

excepting the dowry of Gladuse his mother." He married Maud,daughter of William de Braose of Brecknock by Eve his wife, "oneof the sisters and co-heirs of the last Mareschall, Earl of Pembroke.Whereby his great possessions were still more augmented.

"He took an active part in favour of Henry HI against his

rebellious barons; and after the fatal battle of Lewes, wherein the

King himself and Prince Edward, were taken' prisoners, is recorded

to have been the person who contrived and effected the escape of

the Prince from Robert de Ros, then his keeper; for which, his

faithful services, he was rewarded with considerable grants from the

crown. In the 7th year of Edward I when all was quiet, having pro-

cured the honour of knighthood for his three sons, he, at his owncosts, held a tournament at Kenilworth; where he sumptuouslyentertained one hundred knights, and as many ladies, for three days,

the like whereof had never been before in England ; and there begana Round Table (so called from the place wherein they practised those

feats), which was environed with a strong wall made in a round form.

And upon the fourth day, the Golden Lion, in sign of triumph, beingyielded to him, he carried it, with all that company, to Warwick.The fame whereof being spread into foreign countries, occasioned the

Queen of Navarre to send him certain wooden bottles bound withgolden bars and wax, under the pretence of wine, but, in truth, filled

with gold, which for many ages after were kept in the abbey of Wig-more. Whereupon, for the love of that Queen, he added a carbuncleto his arms. Soon after when he died; viz., the 10th year of Edward.He had issue divers sons; whereof Sir Ralph, the eldest, died in his

lifetime. Edmund was his successor. Roger was lord of Chirke.

Sir William was an eminent soldier, and married Hawyse, the heir

of Robert dc Musegros. Sir Geflfery, the other son, was also a knightand died in his father's lifetime."

EDMUND, the next Lord of Wigmore, "was mortally woundedin the battle of Buelt, against the Welsh; and dying of his woundsat Wigmore Castle, had sepulture in the abbey there, the 32d yearof Edward I. This Edmund had summons to parliament among the

barons of the realm, from the 22d to the 30th year of Edward I in-

clusive; and by Margaret his wife, daughter of William de Fendles

a Spaniard (kinswoman to Queen Eleanor), had issue: Roger, his

son and heir; John; Hugh; Walter, and Edmund; which three last

named were all priests; as also three daughters. Whereof Maudemarried Theobald de Verdon; and Joane and Elizabeth were nunsat Lyngbroke."

ROGER, eighth Lord of Wigmore, "was he who is so well

known in our general histories as the favourite of Isabel, the queenof Edward H. In the parliament begun the 2d year of Edward III,

he caused himself to be advanced to the title of Earl March; and the

same year [held] a Round Table at Bedford. After which. King Edwardmaking a progress into the Marches of Wales, was magnificently

entertained by this Roger, in his castles of Ludlow and Wigmore;so likewise in his forests and parks, with great costs in tiltings andother pastimes.

"But hereupon he grew proud beyond measure; insomuch as

his own son, Geffery, called him the King of Folly. He also kept the

Round Table in Wales for a pride, in imitation of the knights of KingArthur's Round Table. His other acts of extravagance and inso-

lencies are well known; of which the king being at length madesensible, caused him to be suddenly surprised in the castle of Not-tingham (by means of a subterraneous passage; which, from this

circumstance, is yet called Mortimer's Hole). When being secured,

he was afterwards accused in parliament of certain high crimes; and

[57 1

being found guilty, received sentence to be drawn and hanged:

which sentence was executed at the common gallows, called the

Elmes, near Smithfield. And his body was permitted to hang there

two days and two nights, naked, and then buried in the Grey Friars;

but many years afterwards translated to Wigmore. So great is the

vicissitude of human greatness.

"This eminent but unhappy man married Joane, daughter of

Peter, son of Geffery de Genevil, Lord of Trim, in Ireland, and hadissue four sons, viz. : Edmund, Sir Roger, Sir Geffery, Lord of Towyth;and John, slain in a tournament at Shrewsbury. As also seven

daughters, viz. : Catherine, wife of Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of

Warwick; Joane, of James, Lord Audley; Agnes, of Laurence, Earl

of Pembroke; Margaret, of Thomas, son and heir of Maurice, LordBerkeley; Maude of John de Cherleton, son and heir of John, Lord

of Powys; Blanch, of Peter de Grandison; and Beatrix, first, of

Edward, son and heir of Thomas of Brotherton, Earl Marshall of

England, and afterwards of Sir Thomas de Braose."

EDMOND PLANTAGENET, "a younger son of King Ed-ward I, by Margaret of France, his second wife, and surnamed of

Woodstock, from the place of his birth, was created Earl of Kent, byhis brother, King Edward II, by whom, the 14th of his reign, he wassummoned to parliament as Baron of Woodstock. But in the reign

of Edward III (his nephew), he was arrested, and adjudged to die

for high treason; for conspiring, with other nobles, to deliver his

brother. King Edward II, who had been deposed, out of prison.

Whereupon, by the management of Queen Isabel, with her minion,

Robert Mortimer, he was beheaded at Winchester, after he had stood

upon the scaffold, from noon till five o'clock in the evening, waiting

for an executioner; no one being ready to perform the odious office,

till a base wretch, a malefactor, from the Marshalsea, performedthe barbarous act, 4th year Edward III (1331).

"This Edmond married Margaret, daughter of John, LordWake, sister and heir to Thomas, Lord Wake; by whom he hadissue: 1st, Edmond, his eldest son, who was restored Earl of Kentthe same year his father died, the attainder being reversed; but he

deceased unmarried, and in ward to the king, 6th year Edward III.

2d, John, second son, succeeded his brother Edmond, and married

Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of Juliers; but died also issueless,

26th vear Edward III."

JOAN PLANTAGENET, "only daughter to Edmond, Earl of

Kent, and heir to her brothers, Edmond and John, was, for her

admirable beauty, called the Fair Maid of Kent. She married first

William Montacute, Earl of Salisbury; but from him was divorced,

and married to SIR THOMAS HOLLAND, afterwards Earl of Kent;

and on his decease (retaining still a great share of her beauty and

perfections), she captivated the heart of the Prince of Wales, that

gallant hero, surnamed the Black Prince; and was married to him,

WAKE

Arms: Or, two bars gules, in chief three torteauxes.

HUGH LE WAC married Emme, daughter of Baldwin Fitz-

Gilbert by Adelhidis, the daughter of Hugh Evermur."The Wakes are mentioned by Brompton amongst the nobles

and others who came over with the Conqueror, but it is the opinion

of skilful antiquaries that the Wake mentioned in the Roll of Battle

Abbey was one of those who, weary of Harold's usurpation, fled into

Normandy to invite Duke William into England and came over with

him."As to the first rise of the name of Wake, it is observed by Dr.

Patrick that Herewaldus, or Hewaldus was surnamed de Wake, or

le Wake. He was one of the bravest heroes of his age and country

whose actions are celebrated by Ingulphus; and was the last whosubmitted to the Conqueror.

"His daughter and heir was married to Hugh Evermur, whose

granddaughter Adelhidis (daughter of Richard de Rullos) was weddedto Baldwin Fitz-Gilbert, brother to Walter, the father of Gilbert de

Gant, the first earl of Lincoln of that family. By which Baldwin she

had a daughter Emme, heir to him and to the before-mentioned Here-

wald, as appears from an ancient charter of the abbey of Brunne.

In the time of Henry I, she is mentioned to be the wife of Hughle Wac; and it is agreed she settled her name upon her husband.

They left issue: Baldwin le Wac (so called from his maternal grand-

father, Baldwin Fitz-Gilbert)."

^

BALDWIN LE WAC, son of Henry le Wac above mentioned,

was one of the barons at the coronation of King Richard I (1189),

and died in the third year of the reign of King John (1202).

W'illiam de Briwer, and died in 1214.

HLIGH LE W^\C, son of the last named, married Joan, daughterand heir of Nicholas de Stutevil, and died during the reign of KingHenry III (1216-1272).

BALDWIN LE WAC, son of Hugh, was one of the barons whorebelled against Henry II, "but at length submitted to the king,

and had his pardon." Dugdale says he married Hawyse, daughterand co-heir of Robert de Quinci. But Nicholson and Burne, in their

history of the counties of Cumberland and W^estmoreland,^ assert that

he married Eleanor, daughter of Sir John Montgomery, and died in

1282, succeeded by his son:

JOHN LE W'AC, who was summoned to parliament as a baron

of the realm, from 1295 to 1300, when he died, survived by his wife

Joan. He was succeeded by his eldest son John, who soon died,

and was succeeded by the second son, Thomas le Wac, who died

May 31, 1350, without issue, leaving his sister Margaret his heir.

MARGARET, daughter of John le W'ac, and sister and heir

of Thomas last named, married Edmund Plantagenet of Woodstock,Earl of Kent, son of Edward I, King of England.^

BOHUN, EARLS OF HEREFORD^

Arms: Azure, a bend argent, between two cottizes, and six lions or.

HUMPHREY DE BOHUN, the first mentioned of this noble

family, was "a kinsman of the Conqueror, who came with him into

England, being called Humphrey with the beard, by reason that mostof the Normans did then totally shave their faces." At the time of

the general survey he "appears to have possessed no other lordships

in this realm than Taterford, in the county of Norfolk."

HUMPHREY the Second, called the Great, married Maud, the

daughter of Edward de Saresby, with whom he obtained a con-

siderable inheritance in Wiltshire. He had issue a daughter namedMaud, and a son:

HUMPHREY, who was steward to King Henry I, and mar-

ried Margery, eldest daughter of Milo, Earl of Hereford. This

Humphrey, at the instigation of his father-in-law, the said Milo,

adhered to the Empress Maud, against King Stephen, and fortified

his town of Trobredge on her behalf. To him it was, that in con-

sideration of his firm attachment to her in all her difficulties, the

said Empress Maud, by her special charter, granted to him the

offices of sewer - to her, both in England and in Normandy. Hedied 33d Henry H, and was buried in the chapter house of Lanthony.

' Banks, The Dormant and Extinct Baronage of England, Volume III, pp. 354-361.» From sew, to bring on and remove meat at table. Old French, sewer, squire.

[93]

HUMPHREY, called the Fourth, as also Earl of Hereford, andConstable of England, by descent from Margery his mother, marriedMargaret, daughter of Henry, Earl of Huntington, and sister to

William, King of Scots.

HENRY DE BOHUN, "who, in fact, according to Collins

and Milles, was truly the first Earl of Hereford of his family. Forso he was created by King John, by his charter bearing date at Por-

chester, 28th April, the 1st year of his reign" (1199). In 1205 "heanswered to the King, fifty marks and a palfrey, to have the posses-

sion of twenty knights fees belonging to the honour of Huntendon,as King Henry II gave to Margaret his mother, upon a verdict ob-tained by her for the same. But notwithstanding these marks of

royal favour, he soon after joined with the rebel barons, for whichhis lands were seized. Howbeit, the 17th John, he had restitution

of them again; and was one of the twenty-five who undertook for

the King's observing Magna Charta then ratified by him. Nextyear, however, the barons raising new troubles, the King procuredhim, and others, to be excommunicated, by the pope. Which onlyrendered them the more obstinate, and this earl so determined in his

opposition, that he returned not to his allegiance on the death of

King John, but was one of the commanders in the army of Louis theDauphin, and the barons, against Henry III in the battle of Lincoln; ^

but shortly after this he died on a voyage to the Holy Land, 4thHenry HI (1220) and was buried in the chapter house of Lanthony.

"He married Maud, daughter of Geoffrey Fitz-Piers, Earl of

Essex, and at length heir to her brother, W'illiam de Mandeville, thelast Earl of Essex of that family; whereby she brought the honourof Essex, and a great inheritance to this house. By her he had adaughter, Margery, who became the wife of Waleran, Earl of War-wick, and three sons, Humphrey; Henry, who died in youth; andRalph."

HUMPHREY succeeded his father; and in 1221 "had livery

of his castle of Caldecot. And possessing the honour of Essex, &c.,

by descent from Maud his mother, became earl also of that county;and at the great solemnity of the marriage of Henry III, performed

» The Fair of Lincoln, May, 1217.

[94]

the office of marshal in the King's house. He was a great stickler

for the liberties of the subject; and the 37th Henry HI (1253) waspresent, with others of the peers, when that formal curse was denouncedin Westminster Hall against the violators of Magna Charta, with bell,

book, and candle. In the great contest between the King and his

barons, he was on the part of the latter at the battle of Evesham,49th Henry HI where he was taken prisoner; but long did he notcontinue so, being received again into favour; and dying 3d Edward I

(1275) was buried with his ancestors at Lanthony."He was twice married; first to Maud, daughter to the Earl of

Ewe, by whom he had issue: Humphrey, his heir, who died in his life-

time, and four daughters. His second wife was Maud de Avenebye.

HUMPHREY, the eldest son, "was a man of very turbulentspirit, and a great stickler for the provisions of Oxford ; and a leaderof the barons army at the Battle of Lewes; ' where he performed suchnotable service, that he was made by them governor of the castles of

Goodrich and of Winchester; and the next year, general of their foot

at the fatal Battle of Evesham,- where he was taken prisoner; shortly

after when he died, and was buried in the Abbey of Cumbermere.By Eleanor his wife, one of the daughters and co-heirs of William deBraose, baron of Brecknock, he had issue, Humphrey, his son andheir."

HUMPHREY "succeeded his grandfather in the earldoms of

Hereford and Essex; and, 10th Edward I (1282) being appointed to

make his abode in Wales, he deputed John de Bohun, his uncle, to

attend the King for performance of the office of constable of Englandduring his absence. This nobleman, like his ancestors, was of a great

spirit; turbulent and unruly; an opposer of the court measures; often

in disgrace with the King, and as often restored to favour. He mar-ried Maud, daughter of William de Fienles; and dying the 26thEdward I (1298), was succeeded by his son and heir."

HUMPHREY; who "the 27th Edward I (1299) doing his

homage, had livery of his father's lands. And the 30th of the same

reign, by a formal conveyance, gave and granted unto the King, the

inheritance of all his lands and lordships in this realm, as also of his

earldoms of Hereford and Essex, and constableship of England. Butafterwards, upon his marriage with Elizabeth, the King's daughter,

circa, 32d Edward I (1304), the same were regranted to him, and

entailed upon his issue, lawfully begotten; and for default thereof,

and from and after the death of himself and wife, then the lordship

of Plessets, and certain other lordships in Essex, and elsewhere, to-

gether with the constableship of England, should remain wholly to

the King, and his heirs for ever. The 34th Edward I, he had a grant

to himself, and the said Elizabeth his wife, of the whole territory of

Annandale, in Scotland; but for want of issue, to remain to the

King, and his heirs. After this he was in the wars of Scotland; and

at the disastrous Battle of Stryvelin, where the English army was so

signally defeated by the Scots, was taken prisoner, 7th Edward J I.

But was exchanged for the wife of Robert de Bruce, who had been

long captive in England.""The 15th Edward II (1322) he was one of those who joined

with the Earl of Lancaster for the redress of certain grievances, andthe banishment of the Spencers, that King's two great favourites;

but this attempt proving abortive, and these potent rebels defeated

at Borough Bridge, this earl was unfortunately there killed; being

run through the body by a soldier that lurked underneath. His issue

were six sons, viz.: Humphrey, who died young; John; another

Humphrey; Edward; William, who became Earl of Northampton,and ^neas. Also four daughters, viz.: Margaret, who died young;

Alianore, wife of James Butler, earl of Ormond; Margaret, whomarried Hugh, son and heir of Hugh de Courtney, first earl of Devon;and Isabel, who died in her childhood. John, the eldest son succeeded

to the earldom, but died without issue in 1337, and was succeeded

by his brother Humphrey. The latter died unmarried in 1362."

WILLIAM DE BOHUN, son of Humphrey the fourth of the

name. Earl of Hereford, was created Earl of Northampton, in the

eleventh year of the reign of King Edward HI. "He was among the

most eminent men of his time; and was a knight of the garter at the

first foundation of that order. Which was designed, not to ornamentthe dress of a courtier, a fop, or an insignificant fellow; but to point

out and honour the most illustrious, whose noble services to their

country were as brilliant as the rays of the star wherewith they weredistinguished.

[96 1

"During the chief part of the warHke and glorious reign ofEdward III, this nobleman was a person of great action; and waspresent in most of the famous and splendid victories then achieved,and executed divers offices of the highest trust and importance. Hemarried Elizabeth, one of the sisters and co-heirs of Giles, LordBadlesmere, and died the 34th Edward II; having had issue adaughter, Elizabeth, who married Richard, son and heir of EdmundEarl of Arundel; and also one son Humphrey, who succeeded him in

the earldom of Northampton; as likewise his uncle Humphrey de Bo-hun, in those of Hereford and Essex, and was the last earl of hisgreat family." '

HUMPHREY DE BOHUN, Earl of Hereford, son and heir ofWilliam, Earl of Northampton. "This Humphrey, at the time ofhis accession to these great earldoms, as also that of Northampton,in right of his father, was in minority, and had his guardianshipcommitted to Richard, Earl of Arundel; but the year following, beingof full age, he had livery of his lands.

"This young and promising nobleman was, however, the last

of his house, that, in the male line, enjoyed its high and distinguishedhonours, for the 46th Edward III (1373) he deceased; leaving byJoane his wife, daughter of Richard, Earl of Arundel, only femaleissue; viz.: Eleanor, who became the wife of Thomas of Woodstock,Duke of Gloucester; and Mary, of Henry, Earl of Derby ,^ son of

John of Ghent, Duke of Lancaster, brother to the said Thomas, Dukeof Gloucester; between whom the inheritance was divided. In thepartition whereof, the earldoms of Essex and Northampton, with theconstableship of England, fell to the share of the Duke of Gloucester.But the title of Hereford was afterwards revived in the person ofthe said Henry, Earl of Derby; who, in 1398, was created Duke ofHereford, and at length ascended the throne, under the name ofHenry IV."

MARY DE BOHUN, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, marriedHenry, Earl of Derby, who became King of England in 1399.
