MARTIN-p. 370.

By a public record it appears, that William Martin, lord of Camois, or Kemeys, had a son and heir, named Edward, for whom he obtained the king's licence to marry Jonetta, daughter of John lord Hastings; the like licence, he also had, that Alianor (or Eleanor), his daughter, might marry William, son and heir of the said John lord Hastings.

The aforesaid Edward is not noticed in the Martin family by Dugdale. At line 5 from the bottom, William, should be read Philip de Columbers.

Nicholas, his son and heir, who the same year had livery* of his inheritHe had summons to parliament from the 6th to the 15 Edw. II. inclusive, in which year he died without legitimate issue, John, his brother, being his next heir, and then upwards of forty years of age; which John, by Catherine his wife, (who died 19 Edw. III.) deceased the 23 Edw. III., having had issue a son John, who predeceased him the 5 Edw. III., leaving another John heir to his grandfather; which John dying without issue, his sister Alice was his heir, who married, first, John (or Robert) de Boulton; secondly, sir Walter Boynton, knight; and thirdly, William Percy: by both of which last-mentioned husbands she had issue. Thus the first barony of Meinell became vested in the heirsgeneral of Nicholas, summoned to parliament 22 Edw. I.

But Nicholas, the son of the said Nicholas, though his brother John was his heir-at-law, had a natural son, Nicholas, by Lucy his concubine, the repudiated wife of William le Latimer; which

Nicholas Meinell had summons to parliament from the 9th to 16 Edw. III., and thereby acquired a new barony, which, on his death, descended to 16 Edw. III. Elizabeth his only daughter and heir, married, first, to John, lord Darcy, and secondly, to Peter de Mauley.

Among other lands, whereof he died seised, was the manor of Whorlton, which he held of the archbishop of York, by the service of being his cupbearer on the day of his consecration.

MESCHINES-p. 136.

According to a correction made by John Charles Brooke, late Somerset Herald, in a note on the account given by Dugdale of this family, he says, that William de Meschines married Cecily, daughter and heir of Robert de Romeley, and thereby acquired Skipton castle. He then erases Dugdale's statement, that Cecily, daughter of William Meschines, married Robert de Romeley; and asserts, that the said William Meschines left a daughter and heir Alice de Romeley, who married William Fitz-Duncan.

MORTIMER OF ATTILBERG H-p. 380.

William Mortimer, summoned to parliament the 22nd and 25 Edw. I., died the 1st November, 1297,* having had issue by Alice his wife, Con- * Esch. stantine, his son and heir; which

Constantine, at the death of his father, was in minority: he died, according to the History of Norfolk, in 1334, and was interred in Mortimer's chapel; which, if the fact, shows that it was not he who was summoned to parliament the 16 Edw. III. By Sibyl, his wife, he had issue, Constantine, Robert, and Thomas. Of these sons,

Constantine was his successor, and must have been the same who had the writ of summons of 16 Edw. III.: he died without issue, leaving

Robert, his brother and heir, who, by Margery his wife, had two sons, Thomas and Constantine; which last was of Great Elingham, and Bernham, in Norfolk.

Thomas Mortimer, the eldest son, died before his father, having married Mary, daughter of Nicholas Park, (and mother of the famous sir John Falstaff,) by whom he had three daughters, his co-heiresses. Of these,

Elizabeth married, first, Ralph Bigot, of Stockton; secondly, Henry Pakenham; and thirdly, Thomas Manning; and had issue by her first and last husband.

Cecily married, first, sir John de Herling; and secondly, sir John Ratcliffe, by both of whom she had children.

Margery married sir John Fitz-Ralph, whose grandson, another John, left two daughters his co-heirs, whereof Elizabeth was the wife of sir Robert Chamberlayne; and Maud, of sir Robert Conyers.

The heir of this barony is said to be Thomas Davison Bland, esq., of Yorkshire, who can prove his descent, and the sitting of his ancestor, under the writs of summons.

MICHAEL DE LA POLE, Earl of Suffolk.

(a) This Roger, circ. 1374, conveyed the Lordship of Kimberley, in the
county of Norfolk, to his niece Catharine de Brewse, who, 49 Edw. III.,
confirmed the grants of her ancestors to Raveningham College.

By a fine levied between John de Norwich, querent, and others, deforci-
ants, certain manors in Norfolk were settled, after the death of Catharine,

widow of Walter de Norwich, on Sir John and his heirs male; remainder to Thomas, his brother, and his heirs male; remainder to Roger, brother of Thomas, and his heirs male.-History of Norfolk, Vol. VII. p. 88. Ibid. Vol. II. p. 75.

The various accounts in the printed Baronetages, and among the MS. gealogies preserved in the College of Arms, the Bodleian and Harleian collections, as also in the pedigrees possessed by the representative branches of this eminent family, are so incongruous, as to render it a task of great difficulty to reconcile by public record the discordant statements. It, however, appears most certain, that, exclusively of the writs of summons under which Metham became the heir-general of Milo de Stapleton, who was called to parliament in the reign of Edward II., the intermarriages
