From "Duncan the fat's descendants become Robertsons" by Joe Adair:
http://www.adair.ca/Robertson/Robertson.html
Duncan's son, Robert became second Lord of Struan about 1355. Through his second marriage, he acquired the lands of Stermont. However, his first marriage to the daughter of Sir John Sterling of Glenesk created some friction due to shared inheritance of the lands of Glenesk in Angus with her sister who married Sir Alexander Lindsay. The Lindsays had a son, Sir David Lindsay.
The Lindsays were very powerful, owning 2/3 of Angus County and were overlords of the highland district of Strathnairn. The division of land to the two sisters may have annoyed our chief.
Sir David Lindsay expected trouble from his aunt's family, and quite rightly so as it turned out. He arranged a meeting with Robert to discuss the matter. Robert did not attend. Sir David Lindsay sent a scout to find out what was going on. The scout never returned. Robert did not attend the meeting, instead secretly met with Sir Duncan Stewart who was backed by his men and the Roses from Strathnairn.
Robert had 3 younger half brothers, through their father's second marriage. They were Patrick of Lude, Thomas of Strowan and Gibbon. These brothers led a small army of our clansmen and secretly joined with Sir Duncan Stewart and his men to form an army of over 300 in 1392. They marched into Angus to the east and killed many Lindsays and their Ogilvies allies and their homes were burnt. Three thousand head of Angus cattle were stolen and driven to Rannoch.
The surviving enemy regrouped and caught up with our clan near Blairgowrie. At the battle of Glasclune, the Angus men were defeated, but we suffered heavy losses. The cattle were driven along the valley of Strathardle to our clan territory.
Still the enemy was not content to let it stand. Sir Walter Ogilvie, hereditary Sheriff of Angus, got it in his head that our clan's action was on shaky legal ground. He and his possy joined the retreating Angus men previously defeated and caught up with our men at Glenbrierachan in western Strathardle, six miles northeast of Pitlochry. Sixty mounted knights and sundry others comprised the enemy.
This steel armour and long lances were matched against our array of weapons:
Claymore - large broadsword, sharp on both edges
Targe - small, light shield which sacrifices defense to make offence easier
Dirk - dagger that can be used while the enemy fends off your claymore
We sent the Angus cattle ahead and positioned ourselves on rough ground, difficult for the enemy horses. Thus a charge by the knights with lances lowered would be difficult.
The battle did not last long. Sir David Lindsay had pinned one of our men to the ground. Our clansman pulled himself up using Sir David's own lance and using his claymore, penetrated Sir David's stirrup and armour steel boot to nearly sever Sir David's foot off, having cut through to the bone. Unfortunately, our brave clansman died later of his wounds.
In the quick defeat of the enemy and their subsequent panic, Sir Walter Ogilvie (the now late sheriff), his brother, nearly a dozen knights and about 60 others were killed by our clan. After so much harassment over this simple cattle transaction, our clan realized that | OGILVY, Sir Walter Of Auchterhouse (I28962)

Shrewsbury, Earldom of: His [Roger, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury's] son, the2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (or Shropshire) of the 1074 creation, was killedby a missile launched from a Norse (or conceivably Irish) raiding partyoff the Anglesey coast while riding along the forshore on that islandtrying to fend them off. He was accounted gentle by the English andNormans but a Hammer by the Welsh. Under the systerm then prevailing theEarldom passed to an elder brother, Robert de Belleme, who constructedBridgnorth Castle and continued the family policy of harrying the Welsh.He rebelled against Henry I and in 1102 was deprived of the Earldom ofShrewsbury/Shropshire, together with his English and Welsh estates.[Burke's Peerage, p. 2604]

EARLDOM OF ARUNDEL (II) 1094
EARLDOM OF SHREWSBURY (II) 1094
HUGH (DE MONTGOMERY), EARL OF SHREWSBURY, 3rd but 2nd surviving son by1st wife, was born probably between 1053 and 1059 (b). In December 1079he was at the Castle of Bures when his mother was murdered there and hepursued the murderers in vain. In the summer of 1080 at Caen he joinedhis brothers in attesting his father's charter for Troarn for the soul oftheir mother. Before his father's death he was already recognised as hisheir in England. In 1092 he was at the siege of Breval and with othermagnates he made peace between William de Bréteuil and Ascelin Goel. OnRoger's death in 1094 he succeeded him as EARL OF SHROPSHIRE orSHREWSBURY and to all his lands in England and Wales. In that year theWelsh rose in arms. Hugh fought them with some success in North Wales,but in 1095 they took Montgomery and slaughtered the garrison. Hugh tookpart in the conspiracy against William II in 1095, but he bought theKing's favour for £3,000. In 1098 with the Earl of Chester he invaded andconquered Anglesey, treating the Welsh with great cruelty. When aNorwegian fleet appeared off the coast of North Wales, the 2 Earls met atDiganwy (co. Carnarvon) and crossed to Anglesey. As the fleet approachedthe land, the Earl rode along the shore and was struck by an arrow shot,or a javelin thrown, from a ship and fell dying into the sea. Thus hedied unmarried about 31 July 1098 and was buried about 17 August atShrewsbury Abbey.[d] [Complete Peerage XI:688-9, (transcribed by DaveUtzinger)]
(b) He may or may not have been the 3rd child. According to a Welshannalist, he was fighting in Wales in 1072; but this seems impossiblyearly. [Note: I think that many of Roger II's children were born earlierthan CP states.]
[d] The Normans and English long sought for his corpse, drawn away by thetide, and found it at length; and on the 17th day after his death bore itto Shrewsbury, where it was buried in the abbey amid great mourning. Hewas the only one of the sons of Mabel who was gentle and amiable. Thisseems hardly compatible with the alleged cruelties to the Welsh inAnglesey.
Note: Hugh died unmarried, but I have a son, undoubtedly illegitimate, byhim. | MONTGOMERY, Hugh De 2nd Earl Of Shrewsbury (I19695)

Shrewsbury, Earldom of: In early December 1074 Roger de Montgomery was created Earl of Shropshire or Shrewsbury. As with other medieval earldoms, little distinction was then made between the county town and county proper when designating a specific name for a title, chiefly because an earl, who was then more or less and official, albeit often hereditary, was inconceivable except as earl of a county.
Roger was son of another Roger de Montgomery, seigneur of the Norman places (St Germain-de-Montgomery and Ste-Foy-de-Montgomery) of that name in the Calvados region. He was a prominent member of the nobles grouped around William (later William I of England, The Conqueror) of Normandy well before the 1066 invasion of England but stayed behind in Normandy during the actual enterprise. The year after Hastings he went to England and received land grants in Sussex. He is thought to have constructed the Castle of Montgomery (now in Powys, but formerly named Mongomeryshire after his family), doing so shortly before the Domesday Survey.

According to Winston Churchill in "A History of the English Speaking People", the Montgomeries (a very great house of Norman England) sided with Robert, Duke of Normandy, against his brother Henry I, in the war of succession after William Rufus, William The Conqueror's designated heir for England was killed in a hunting accident [in which Henry I was involved--some think more than an "accident"]. Henry I destroyed the power of the Montgomeries starting in September, 1100. He captured Robert in Normandy in the battle at Tinchebrai and combined England and Normandy again.

Siemomysl or Ziemomysl (died c. 950– 960) was the third duke of Polans of the Piast dynasty, and the father of Poland's first Christian ruler, Mieszko I. He was listed by Gallus Anonymous in his Gesta principum Polonorum and was the son of Lestek, the second known Duke of the Polans. According to Gallus' account and historical research, Siemomysl has been credited with leaving the lands of the Polans, Goplans and Masovians to his son Mieszko I, who further expanded them during his reign.
According to modern Polish historian Henryk Lowmianski, Siemomysl aided the Ukrani uprising against the Germans in 954 AD.
He supposedly reigned from around 930 (although some historians believe that he reigned from around 950). Siemomysl united the lands of Polanie, Goplanie, and Mazowszanie (however, some historians think that perhaps his father did it first). His burial place is unknown.
Siemomysl's wife (or wives) is unknown. There is a theory that the daughter of Wlodzislaw, prince of the Ledzianie tribe, could have been Siemomysl's wife, but there is no historical evidence to support this. Formerly it was thought that his wife was named Gorka, but Oswald Balzer refuted this view in 1895. Mieszko I and Czcibor were his sons. | PIAST, Ziemomsyl I King of Poland (I594764498)

Sigebert was born in 629-630 as the eldest son of Dagobert I, King of the Franks, and his concubine Ragnetrude. The king recalled and made peace with Saint Amand, who was previously banished for criticizing the king's vices, and asked him to baptize his new-born son. The ceremony was performed at Orléans and Charibert II, Dagobert's half-brother who was King of Aquitaine at the time, was the god-father. Dagobert assigned the education of Sigebert to Pepin of Landen, who was the mayor of the palace in Austrasia under his father Chlotar II, until 629. Pepin took the young Sigebert and moved with him to his domains in Aquitane, where they stayed the next three years.
In 633, a revolt of the nobles forced Dagobert to make the three-year old Sigebert king of Austrasia, similar to how his father Chlotar II had made him king of Austrasia in 623. However, he refused to give the power to Pepin of Landen by making him mayor of the palace for the child-king. Instead he had put Sigebert under the tutelage of Adalgisel as mayor of the palace and the Bishop of Cologne Saint Cunibert as regent, while keeping Pepin in Neustria as hostage. In 634 Dagobert's second son, Clovis II, was born, and the king forced the nobles to accept him as the next king of Neustria and Burgundy, setting up a new division of the empire.
On the death of Dagobert in 639, the two Frankish kingdoms became independent once again under Sigebert III and Clovis II. Both kingdoms were under child-kings – Sigebert was around eleven years old and Clovis was five – and were ruled by the respective regents. It was under Seigbert's reign that the mayor of the palace began to play the most important role in the political life of Austrasia, and he has been described as the first roi fainéant— do-nothing king— of the Merovingian dynasty.[4] Pepin replaced Adalgisel as mayor of the palace of Austrasia in 639 but died the following year, in 640, and was replaced by his son Grimoald. | AUSTRASIA, King Siegbert III Of (I28686)

Silas T Oliphant Biography: [1]
"...I was born June 30, 1859, in Rutherford county at a place call La Verne about fifteen miles south of Nashville, which makes me eighty years old my last birthday. I am a son of Presley Ward Oliphant, whose father came from Scotland and settled in Rutherford county when my father was about two years old. My mother was before her marriage to my father, Mary Fitzhugh, who was born in Davidson county on the Nolensville Pike. My father was a carpenter by trade, but later took up farming as his occupation.
I don't remember but very little about the beginning of the Civil War, except the last two years. My father was too old for service in the War. He was gray as far back as I can remember. About that time I remember seeing the Yankees having six wagons in our field gathering our corn. Three years after the War we moved to the First District in Williamson county.
In regard to my father's family, there were 13 children born, seven boys and six girls. All lived to be grown except the youngest boy, who died at fourteen years of age. There were six boys and three girls older than myself. I have outlived all of then except my brother B.M. Oliphant who has lived on Beaverdam Creek about sixty-two years. He and also his wife are members of the Over-eighty Club.
From the time I was nine years old to fifteen years I got what little schooling I have, which is very limited. At about that time, I bagan to have, as I thought the best time of my life. I would ride as far as anyone to a night dance. Would dance and court all night and work all next day. It was very common for a boy of this age to love the last girl he is with the best, until he meets the right one, which, on the Christmas following, 1877, I met the right one on the ballroom floor where the Rev. J. O. Reavis now lives, which was known as the "Mason Hall." On entering the Mason ballroom, Jim Hall came to me and I noticed Lundy White, a friend of mine, was dancing with a girl who attracted my attention, and I turned to Jim and asked him who Lundy was dancing with, and he said she was his sister-"hacked again." I asked Lundy to make me acquainted with Miss Hall, which he did, and I asked her to dance with me the next set, which was accepted. I was in her company all the time I could be from the time I met her in the latter part of 1877 until September 1878. We were at the Bill Austin old place sitting under the old weeping willow, and there it was I asked her to be my wife. She asked for time to make me an answer as she was very young. Her father took sick and died before I saw her again. We were together often during the fall and winter of 1879, so in April of that year at her home I asked her what she thought about the question I asked her under the willow tree. She told me she hadn't thought anything about it but at this time we became engaged and were married October 16th of that year.
We began keeping house the following Christmas at the Ben Hall place, one and a half miles north of Burns. We were the parents of six children. Two died in infancy and the other four include: Leonard Oliphant, of Marietta, Ga.; Maggie Walp, deceased, of Burns; Rose Dunn of Burns, and Beulah Jones, deceased, of Burns. Eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren are living.
We moved with our family to Burns in February 1896 and were united with the old Baptist Church at Burns the Fourth Sunday in August 1903. On Saturday before the fourth Sunday in May 1904, we were ordained to the office of Deacon. My wife served as Deacon's Wife 32 years, she having much better qualifications than I had. The good Lord saw fit to call her home June 5, 1936, making our wedded life sixty years...

Biography
Pedigree from The Visitation of Cheshire and Ormerod's History of Cheshire 1st and 2nd Ed
Andrew Brereton of Brereton was the son of Sir William Brereton and his wife, Phillippa, the daughter of Sir Hugh Hulse, and the sister of Thomas Hulse.

After Andrew's mother, Philippa, died, his father married between 16 and 19 Edward IV (4 March 1476-3 March 1480), a second wife, Matild, the daughter of John Dutton of Dutton, esq, and widow of sir William Bothe of Dunham, Inq 5 Henry VII (22 August 1489-21 August 1490), they had no children.[3]

Pedigree from The Breretons of Cheshire
Sir William de Brerton VIII, tenth Lord of Brereton succeeded his grandfather in 1426, died in 1485, married:
•Matilda, daughter of John Dutton of Dutton, widow of sir William Booth of Dunham, married in 1478,[5] and Sir William Brereton and Matilda had:
1.William, died issueless, married Katherine, the daughter of Sir John Byron, of Horestan Castle, Derbyshire;[5]
2.Andrew, succeeded his father as eleventh Lord of Brereton, 1495;[5]
3.Robert;[5]
4.Roger;[5]
5.Henry;[5]
6.Matthew;[5]
•a daughter of Sir Hugh Hulse of Elwood Hall, Cheshire,[5] and daughter Hulse and Sir William had:
1.Sir John Brereton of Lea Hall, who married 1) the daughter of Maurice Berkeley of Beverstone, Gloucester, widow of John, Lord Stourton, and 2) John, the daughter and heiress of Sir Geoffrey Masey, of Hatton, widow of Sir William Stanley;[5]

3.Elizabeth, wife of John Ratclyffe of Ordeshall, Lancashire;[5]
4.Jane, wife of Cotton of Rudware;[5]
5.Eleanor, the wife of Hugh Cholmundeley;[5]
6.Matilda, the wife of Thomas Needham of Shavington;[5]
Discussion of the validity of Robert Brereton's pedigree: Brereton says Sir William married in 1478, Matilda, who had previously been married to Sir William Booth, then they had six children together, then Sir William married his second wife, daughter Hulse, then they had six children together, then he died in 1485.[5]
This is not possible as:
•Sir William Booth of Dunham knight, son and heir of sir Robert, married Maud, the daughter of John Dutton of Dutton, esq, in 21 Henry VI, 1442, and they had 12 children, before Sir William died in 16 Edward IV, 1476,[6] An abstract of the Inq p m of William Bothe miles says he entailed land on himself and his wife Matilda, and his son and heir was George Bothe, esq, aged 32.[7]
•Matilda, late wife of sir William Brereton, and widow also of sir William Bothe, knight, survived Sir William Brereton, and had assignment of dower by settlement dated 13 June, 19 Edward IV (1479) from Sir William Brereton's property;[4]
•in 2 Richard III, 1484/5, William Brereton, esq, was found to be son and heir of Sir William Brereton, knight, and to the property that Matilda, his father's widow had held in dower;[4]
•On 10 June 3 Richard III, 1485, the escheator was ordered to deliver Matilda's dower from Sir William Brereton, knight, to William Brereton, esq, son and heir of sir William Brereton, knight, so William, Andrew's brother, was in his majority in 1485, therefore born before 1464.[4]
Robert Brereton also alleges Andrew succeeded his father as eleventh Lord of Brereton, 1495.[5] There is no evidence for that:

--------------------------------------------
BARONY OF WINDSOR (I)
ANDREW, or ANDREWS, WINDSOR, of Stanwell (b), Middlesex, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir of Thomas WINDSOR (d), of the same, Constable of Windsor Castle, by Elizabeth, 1st daughter and coheir of John ANDREWS, of Baylham, Suffolk, was born 1467 and succeeded his father, 29 September 1485, being then aged 18; Bencher, Middle Temple, before 1500; Keeper of the Great Wardrobe for about 37 years, 16 July (as from 20 April last) 1506 till his death; K.B. 23 June 1509, at the Coronation of Henry VIII; Steward of Windsor, 1512; was appointed to join the retinue of Sir William Sandys for the unsuccessful expedition to Guienne in 1512; and served as Treasurer of the King's Middleward in the campaign of 1513, being made a Banneret probably after the battle of the Spurs, 16 August 1513. He was a Commissioner to survey the Navy in the Thames, 26 July-11 August 1514, and to enquire into the imparking of land in 7 counties, 28 May 1517; attended the marriage of the Princess Mary to Louis XII at Abbeville, 9 October 1514; was appointed to be present at the Field of Cloth of Gold, June, and at the meeting with the Emperor, July 1520; served again in France under the Earl of Surrey, in 1522, and under the Duke of Suffolk, August-December 1523; P.C. before 5 February 1525/6; was pricked as Sheriff of Beds and Bucks, November 1526; M.P. for Bucks in the Parliament which met on 3 November 1529. Shortly afterwards, almost certainly by patent, but possibly by writ, or even par parole, he was created LORD WINDSOR, or LORD WINDSOR (of Stanwell), being admitted to the House of Lords, 1 December 1529; and he was summoned to Parliament from 1529 to 1541/2, by writs directed Andreæ Windsor de Stanwell or Andreæ Windsor. He signed the letter to the Pope in favour of the King's divorce, 13 July 1530; was one of the peers summoned for the trial of Queen Anne Boleyn and Lord Rochford, 15 May 1536 (a); was appointed to attend on the King's own person with 200 men during the Northern Rebellion of 1536; and accompanied Henry VIII to Blackheath to receive Anne of Cleves, 3 January 1539/40. On 27 April 1542 he was compelled to surrender to the Crown his manor of Stanwell, with all its appurtenances in cos. Midx., Surrey, Bucks, Berks and Hants and a make-weight of £2,197 5sh. 8d., in exchange for the manor of Minchinhampton, Glos., which had belonged to Sion Monastery, and other lands of St. Peter's, Westminster, St. Alban's Abbey, the Abbey of Bordesley, Worcester, &c (d2).
He married Elizabeth, elder sister and coheir (1475) of Edward (BLOUNT), 2nd BARON MOUNTJOY, daughter of William BLOUNT (son and heir apparent of the 1st Baron), by Margaret, daughter and eventually coheir of Sir Thomas ECHINGHAM, of Etchingham, Sussex. She, who was living, 22 February 1513/4, died before him and was buried at Hounslow, Middlesex. He died 30 March 1543 and was also buried there, aged about 76. [Complete Peerage XII/2:792-4, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(b) The manor of Stanwell was held in 1086 by Walter FitzOther, whose eldest son, William, succeeded his father as Constable of Windsor Castle and took the name of Windsor. In this family the manor remained for nearly 500 years, till on 27 Apr 1542, Henry VIII compelled the the owner, Andrew, Lord Windsor, to surrender it to him, as stated in text above. From Walter's younger son, Gerald, descend the former Earls of Desmond, the Duke of Leinster and the Marquess of Lansdowne.
(d) This Thomas was son and heir of Miles Windsor, who d. 30 Sep 1451 in Italy, when Thomas was said to be aged 11. He came of age before 8 Nov 1461 and m. Elizabeth Andrews before 1 Feb 1465/6, when a settlement was made of Stanwell.
(a) He also took part in the trials of Lords Darcy, and Hussey, 15 May 1537, of Lord Montagu and the Marquess of Exeter, 2 and 3 Dec 1538, and of Lord Dacre of the South, 27 June 1541.
(d2) For this high-handed action see Dugdale, who had the traditional story from Thomas, the 6th Lord. Apparently the King dined at Stanwell, and, on leaving, told his host "that he liked so well of that place, as that he resolv'd to have it....[and] that it must be." Lord Windsor was later shown "a Draught, ready made, of an Exchange...Whereof being contrain'd to accept, he was Commanded to quit Stanwell forthwith, though he had then laid in his Christmas-Provisions." | WINDSOR, Andrew 1St Baron Of Stanwell, Kb, Sir (I13262)

Sir Edmund Arundel, knt (c. 1327 – 1376– 1382), the only child of the marriage between Richard FitzAlan and Isabel le Despenser, was bastardized by the annulment of his parents' marriage. He thereafter was known by the name of Arundel.
He married at the age of twenty, in the summer of 1347, Sybil Montacute or Montague, a younger daughter of William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Catherine Grandison, whose elder sister Elizabeth was married to his mother's brother.
Because he has been declared illegitimate after the annulment of his parents' marriage, after his father died the estates that should have gone to Edmund went to his younger half-brother Richard, then about 29. "Sometime before the end of 1376, Edmund and at least fourteen of his supporters attacked the six manors of Essex which his father had granted to his late mother Isabella for her sustenance in 1344/4 after the annulment of their marriage . . . They broke into houses, fished in Earl Richard's fishery, stole £100, and assaulted and imprisoned Richard's servants." When the incidents came to the attention of the authorities, Edmund with his cousin Henry Despenser as his lawyer appeared before the king and "agreed to settle the 'quarrel, dissensions, strife and controversy' between them. Edmund appeared again before the king and his council on 16 February 1377 and was imprisoned in the Tower of London, though was released on 5 June that year. . . ."
"Little is known of Edmund Arundel after late 1377. In July 1379, he and his son-in-law Sir Richard Sergeaux of Cornwall borrowed £500 from Matthew Gurney . . . By 1390, Sergeaux had still not paid Gurney Back.
"Edmund Arundel was still active in February 1381, now in his mid-fifties, and appointed attorneys to act for him when he went to Gascony on a military expedition. He was dead by February 1382, when his two surviving daughters, Elizabeth Meriet (formerly Carew) and Philippa Sergeaux, and Robert Deincourt, his grandson from his other daughter Katherine, were involved in a legal case."

BARONY OF FERRERS OF CHARTLEY (CP doesn't give numbers/recognize the title?)
SIR EDMUND FERRERS, of Chartley, &c., usually called LORD FERRERS OF CHARTLEY, son and heir, by 2nd wife, aged 26 and more, or 27 and more, at his father's death. The King took his homage and fealty, and he had livery of his father's lands, 14 April 1413. Soon afterwards, assisted by his brothers, Thomas and Edward, he carried on a sort of private war with the Erdeswikes of Sandon, near Chartley: both parties petitioned Parliament in 2 Henry V, each claiming to be the one aggrieved. In consequence of these and many other lawless occurrences, the King accompanied Chief justice Hankeford to cos. Leicester, Stafford, and Salop, to hear plaints in person. Edmund had been presented for having, on Christmas Day 1413, given liveries of green and white cloth--3 yards apiece--to many persons not of his household: he appeared before the King in Court in June 1414, and eventually obtained a pardon, 24 January 1414/5, for all treasons, murders, and other offences committed up to 8 December, saving murders if any-committed after 19 November, 1414. He accompanied the King to France in August 1415, and was at the siege of Harfleur, August to September, at the battle of Agincourt, 25 October 1415, and at the relief of Harfleur by the Duke of Bedford, August 1416. He accompanied the King to France in August 1417, and was at the siege of Rouen, July 1418 to January 1418/9, being in the division commanded by the Earl of Huntingdon: at that of Melun, July to November 1420, and at that of Meaux, October 1421 to May 1422.
He married Ellen, 2nd daughter and coheir of Thomas Roche, of Castle Bromwich, co. Warwick, by Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir Thomas BIRMINGEHAM, and niece and heir of Sir John BIRMINGEHAM, of Birmingham, co. Warwick, Kingston Bagpuze, Berks, &c. They had livery of that portion of her inheritance which Elizabeth, Lady Clinton, formerly wife of the said Sir John Birmingeham, had held in dower or otherwise, 1 December 1423. He died 17 December 1435. His widow's dower was ordered to be assigned, 7 February 1435/6, the manor of Castle Bromwich, and the moieties of the manors of Whitacre and Birmingham, which he had held in her right as of her inheritance, having been liberated to her, 4 February 1435 /6. She had licence to marry whom she would, for a fine of £40, 28 August 1436. She married, 2ndly, as 1st wife, before 3 May 1438, Sir Philip CHETEWYND, of Ingestre, co. Stafford, and Grendon, co. Warwick. She died 4 November 1440. He died 10 May 1444. [Complete Peerage V:317-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] | FERRERS, Edmund 6Th Baron Of Chartley, Sir (I12941)

SIR EDWARD BRAY, knt. of Vachery Park, in Cranley, Surrey, was sheriff of Surrey and Sussex in the 30th of HENRY VIII. and represented the former county in the two parliaments of Queen Mary. Sir Edward, who appears to have been bred a soldier, was one of the knights appointed to accompany King Henry to Calais to meet the French monarch; and he is stated to have been Master of the Ordnance in the time of Queen Mary, and to have marched at the head of some troops to Charing-Cross to attack Wyatt in the insurrection which he had fomented against her majesty. He m. first, Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of Henry Lovell, esq. of Sussex, but by that lady, from whom he was divorced, and who espoused, secondly, Sir Anthony Windsor, he had no issue. He wedded, secondly, Beatrice, daughter of R. Shirley, esq. of Wiston, in Sussex, and had two sons and one daughter, viz.
Sir Edward survived his second wife, and married, thirdly, Jane, daughter of Sir Matthew Browne, of Betchworth Castle, in the parish of Dorking, but had no more issue. He died in 1558, and by his will, dated in that year, directed that his body should be buried in the parish church of Cranley, and that all the poor folks for whom he had made houses should carry his body to the church, and have for their reward twelvepence each. The will then proceeds, after some minor legacies, to affirm the settlement of divers manors and lands for his wife's jointure, and to state that "she should quietly enjoy the same without interruption of his son Edward." It further provides, in case the said Edward, or his heirs, should attempt to disturb the quiet possession of his step-mother, that that lady should have all the testator's fee-simple lands, tenements, rents, reversions, and hereditaments whatsoever. Lady Bray survived for several years, and resided at the mansion-house at Vachery, where she carried on the iron forge which had been established there, and soon took occasion to quarrel with Sir Edward, her step-son. Amongst other things, she wrote to William More, of Loseley, that he, Sir Edward, had summoned her workmen there to her great damage, and she desired Mr. More's favour. At another period she complained that he had broken down the head of her pond, and at other times had been guilty of such like disturbances; under cover of which she availed herself of the power so improperly given by her husband's will, and sold great part of the estate in Cranley and Ewhurst for little more than nominal considerations, as appears by several deeds, in many of which were conveyances to her own relatives and dependents. What remained of Sir Edward Bray's great estates at the decease of his widow, devolved on his son,

Sir Fulke Fitz-Warine, being under the tutelage of Sir Josce de Dinant, fell in love with his dau., Hawise, and marring her, proceeded with her father to Ireland and assisted him in his wars against Walter de Lacie. About the year 1122, this Fulke was constituted by King Henry I lieutenant of the Marches of Wales, and afterwards steward of the household, and lord and governor of those Marches. Of Sir Fulk it is stated that, at one time falling out with Prince John, King Henry's son, at a game of chess, and having his head broken by a blow of the chessboard from the prince, he returned the assault so violently as nearly to deprive his opponent of life. He d. some time before the year 1195, leaving a dau. Eve, and was s. by his eldest son, Fulke FitzWarine.

His former wife then left her convent, asserting that she had only entered it by compulsion, and as she also established the validity of her marriage, the infant daughter of Sir Geoffrey lost the inheritance as illegitimate, the manors of Worsley and Hulton passing into the hands of Alice sister of Sir Geoffrey and wife of Sir John Massey.

In addition other sources:
1 - In 1488 James III's eldest son was proclaimed James IV by a group of nobles consisting of the Humes and Hepburns in the south and the earls of Angus and Argyll in the north. The earls of Huntly, Crawford, Errol, and Buchan in the north with their respective clans remained loyal and the two sides clashed at the battle of Sauchieburn near Bannockburn.
2 - GEORGE, second Earl of Huntly, was appointed, with the Earl of Crawford, joint justiciary of the country beyond the Forth. He was a member of the Privy Council of James IlI. Though he was an accomplice of Bell-the-Cat and the other disaffected barons in the murder of the royal favourites at Lauder, in the final struggle between them and James, Huntly supported the cause of that unfortunate sovereign, and, along with the Earl of Athole, commanded the vanguard of the royal army in the battle of Sauchieburn, where the King lost his life. James IV., however, seems to have entertained no hostile feelings towards the Earl, for in 1491 he nominated him his lieutenant in the northern parts of Scotland beyond the North Esk river; and, in 1498, he appointed Huntly High Chancellor of Scotland. He resigned this office in 1502, and died soon after. The Earl was twice married. His first wife, Annabella, daughter of James I., bore to him six daughters and five sons. His eldest son became third Earl. His second son, Adam, married Elizabeth, Countess of Sutherland, and became Earl of Sutherland in her right. William, third son, was the ancestor of the Gordons of Gight, from whom Lord Byron was descended. James Gordon of Letterfourie, the fourth, was admiral of the fleet in 1513. Lady Catherine, the eldest daughter of Lord Huntly, who was regarded as the most beautiful and accomplished woman in Scotland, was given in marriage by the King to Perkin Warbeck, whose claims to the English throne he warmly supported. She accompanied that adventurer to England; after his execution King Henry granted her a pension, and assigned her a post of honour at the English Court, where she was known by the name of the White Rose of Scotland. Lady Catherine afterwards married Sir Matthew Cradock, an ancestor of the Pembroke family. The Earl had no issue by his second wife, a daughter of the first Earl of Errol.

3 - Although it does appear that there were no children by his first marriage, there is some uncertainty on which of his other wives mothered which of his children. Some sources report that Annabella was mother of only one daughter, the absence of any male issue probably being part of the reason why George divorced her. Claims that Annabella did in fact produce more children may have been made by later Gordons because of the greater social prestige that might have arisen through claiming close descent from the Royal family. We follow what is shown under Burkes Peerage 1934 (Huntly).
4 - George, second earl of Huntly, married Lady Jean[?] Stewart, the daughter of King James I, son of Queen Annabella Drummond.

As Lord of Ilfracombe, he presented there to the church in June 1263, June 1272, and Dec 1276; as Lord of Jacobstowe, Cornwall he presented there to the church in June 1270, then being called a knight, and in Sept 1272. As Lord of Coryton (Curitone) he presented there to the church in Sept 1279. On 22 April 1279 he was given a grant of a weekly market and a yearly fair at his manor of Ilfracombe. On 5 July 1277 he had protection going to Wales on the King's service and was last recorded as justice of the gaol delivery at Oxford and Exeter in May and July 1281.
Vivian states he married Dionisia, daughter of Gilbert and sister and coheiress of Sir Robert English or Engloiz, of Stokeley. He was certainly married to a Dionisia by June 1249 who survived her husband as Dame Dionisia de Campo Arnulphi when, in March 1284, she presented Oliver de Campo Arnulphi, subdeacon, presumably their son, as rector of Jacobstowe.
Stockeley-Engles (Stockleigh-English) was in possession of her grandson, Henry, who presented to the church in April 1312.
Children:
1.) Sir William de Champernoun, m. Joan.
2.) Sir Richard de Champernoun, m. Joan. See CHAMPERNOUN OF MODBURY.
3.) Oliver de Champernoun. As a subdeacon, he was presented as rector of Jacobstowe, co. Cornwall by Dame Dionisia de Campo Arnulphi in March 1284. The relationship is unstated though it seems likely Dame Dionisia was presenting one of her younger sons. | DE CHAMBERNON, Sir Henry (I3702)
