PREFACE.
THIS WORK was undertaken with the object of assisting the study of
English history— in the first place, and principally, of mediaeval English
history — by supplying information, as exact as could be obtained, on
certain subjects of interest and importance, and by presenting that
information in a manner comprehensive, systematic, and clear. These
subjects relate exclusively to the peers of England, and the points
treated of are, I. DATES OF BlRTH, SUCCESSION, AND DEATH.
2. The Varying Titles of each Line. 3. The Offices held by
each Peer. 4. Their Marriages. 5. Their Armorial Bearings.
6. Their Persons.
The plan, as at first conceived, was intended to embrace the period
between the Norman Conquest and the Revolution of 1688, a period
during which the kind of information referred to is most wanting. But
it was afterwards considered advisable to give completeness to the work
by bringing it up to the present time. The task, however, of dealing
with the subject as respects the last two or three centuries is so im-
measurably easier than the former part of the work, and the knowledge
to be acquired on the modern peers is so much more abundant and acces-
sible, that the latter period is to be regarded as in some considerable
degree outside the motive and scope of the original design, and, generally,
of the bearing of the remarks which follow.
The main purpose, then, of the work, is to contribute for the benefit
of those who are interested in the earlier history of this country some
vi PREFACE.
aid which may enable them more readily to turn names into persons, to
trace out the machinery by which the government of England was
anciently carried on, and to fix with certainty the moment when power
changed hands at this or that important crisis. The work attempts, at
the least, to do for the chiefs of the active ruling class of the earlier ages
what our modern Peerages and Parliamentary Companions do for the
legislators and officials of the present day ; but beyond that, it aims at
laying a sure foundation in certain departments for the higher work of
the historian and the biographer.
A few words of explanation must now be given on the treatment of
the several subjects enumerated above.
i. Succession. — It has not been supposed that, after the labours of
many competent men, there was any need for treating this subject anew,
at least as regards the higher ranks of the nobility. As, however, the
dates of birth, succession, and death, form, so to say, a kind of frame-
work to the main subject of the undertaking, no portion has been put
together without a careful consideration of such evidence as remains. In
the result, with respect to the date of births, which are very seldom
recorded during the nth and 12th centuries, it is hoped that some
advance has been made, and that an approximate date at least has been
arrived at in a fair proportion of cases. As to the succession to earldoms
and baronies during the centuries just named, it is to be noted that the
form ' succeeded as,' used in this work for convenience, means only
' became entitled to succeed,' which the earl or baron did not in fact do
until after he had received investiture or seisin, and very few dates con-
cerning these ceremonies are on record. On the other hand, the day of
death is often set down by the chroniclers, the knowledge of anniversaries
being held to be of much consequence.
2. TITLES. — As the honours held even in the direct line of a family
often varied, a separate list of them is given in the case of every indi-
PREFACE. vii
vidual peer. It will thus be seen at once that one man was powerful
both in England and Normandy, that his son succeeded only to the
English honours, and that the Norman honours reverted at a later period
to his heirs who by that time perhaps had acquired great lordships in
Ireland. It was not the custom, however, during at least two centuries
after the Conquest for great men to use many titles, and it is but rarely
that the name of more than one lordship follows the recital of an
earldom by the holder of it. The historical list of honours, therefore,
individually enjoyed in those early days, is in no case meant for the
style of the period.
3. Offices. — The offices held by the peers of England are the prin-
cipal and distinctive subject of this work, as its title is intended to express.
The subjects already touched upon form only an introduction which it
was necessary to treat, but which would not in and for themselves have
had sufficient attraction for the present writer to induce the bestowal of
much labour upon them. The great historical importance, however, of
ascertaining the dates at which the leading men of England attained the
offices which gave them power and influence, and the further dates at
which they lost power and influence, led him on to take up the task,
and eventually, to devote many years to its execution, it cannot yet be
said completion. A difficult, but, on the whole, much less historically
important section of the original plan still remains to be carried out :
that, namely, which concerns the Barons who and whose descendants
remained Barons. The work has been built, a very {ew items excepted,
entirely upon the original authorities, whatever their kind. From 1066
to 1200 the chroniclers furnish perforce most of the material, for the
public records and the monastic documents tell but little about appoint-
ments to offices. From the early years, however, of King John to the
present day, an unequalled body of authentic evidence, though not without
gaps, exists in the public records, which have been carefully searched for
every portion of the intervening time. These again have been supple-
mented by the contemporary chroniclers and other authorities, which,
viii PREFACE.
though of greatly inferior value, cannot safely be passed over, because
even important appointments were not of necessity enrolled, and it is
by no means certain that every enrolment has been preserved. A list
of the various classes of records examined will be found at the end of
each volume of this work. It is well to add here, that, for the sake of
greater clearness, and to avoid the confusing use of double dates, the
year is always made to commence in the modern style, with the first of
January ; and the day of the month is always described as in the
document quoted.
4. MARRIAGES. — No subject relating to the ancient peerage has pro-
bably received more careful attention than that of their marriages, nor
was it to be expected that any new or important fact could now be dis-
covered respecting them. It was none the less essential to examine again
all the existing evidence ; and that has been done, not without a feeling
that difficulties here and there remain which can never be solved. In
connection with this subject, the writer much regrets that he was not
aware, until too late, of Mr. R. E. Chester Waters's discovery of a pas-
sage in St. Anselm's works which conclusively proves that Gundreda,
the wife of William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, could not have been
either the daughter or the step-daughter of William the Conqueror. Our
knowledge of her family, therefore, is reduced to the fact recorded on
her tombstone, that she was ' of ducal race.'
5. Heraldry. — The plan of this section of the work has been to
give a representation of the more ancient armorial bearings, taken from
the individual peer's own seal, or from his monument, or at least from
some contemporary drawing, such as those in that most valuable series
in the margin of Matthew Paris's Chronicle, probably the work of his
own hand. Another feature is the description of the arms taken from
the oldest blazon that could be found. In fact, the attempt has been
made to collect a complete body of information concerning the armorial
bearings, crests, ' beasts ' or supporters, badges, and colours of the
PREFACE. ix
mediaeval baronage ; and though many details are still wanting, a good
deal of material has been brought into consecutive order and rendered
easily accessible.
6. PERSONS. — A knowledge of the personal appearance of the men
who played a conspicuous part in the history of our country must always
be interesting. An attempt has therefore been made in this work to
give a series as complete as possible of the early representations of the
princes and nobles of England. These early representations cannot, it
is true, be regarded as actual likenesses ; but, as a rule, they may be
taken to pourtray in rude fashion, at least the general appearance of the
man, probably not correct in feature, but very probably so as to cut of
hair and garment ; whether smooth faced or bearded or only moustached,
and almost certainly so, when he is depicted shut up in his helmet.
However this may be, we cannot hope to arrive at any more certain
knowledge on the subject, and all that remains is to make use of the
only materials that exist, for the purpose of getting as near to the truth
as is now possible. From an early date in the 16th century the supply
of authentic portraits gradually accumulates, though the pictures of
some remarkable men are still lacking, and those of some others have
come down to us without as much warranty as might be desired. The
plan followed in this portion of the work has been to give a portrait in
all cases, where it could be procured, for the showing forth, to some
extent, of the men of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries; and then
gradually to diminish the number in proportion as the time was ap-
proached when the aspect of every distinguished man is made familiar
in many ways. As a general rule, the word ' After,' with reference to
an illustration, means that it is taken from an engraving ; and the word
1 From ' indicates that it is copied directly from the original, unless the
draughtsman's or engraver's name is given. In one case, however,
(I., p. 712) no name was on the plate, and thus due acknowledgment
could not be made.
vol. 1. a
PREFACE.
In addition to the pictorial representations, contemporary personal
descriptions have been collected from many quarters, and in some cases
several have been found relating to the same individual, not seldom
taking very different views. Estimates of character have been excluded,
or only those traits admitted which would probably show themselves in
the outward demeanour.
The signatures of a large number of the peers have also been given,
and the collection is as complete as it could be made for the 15 th and
1 6th centuries. For those following, no name of any consequence is
omitted until nearly the present time.
To sum up. It is important that the reader should remember that
this work deals with every department treated in it from the historical or
recording point of view alone. It does not concern itself with questions
of right, or with the doubts and difficulties of eminent lawyers and
heralds. Such objections are worthy of all respect when they are not
carried too far, and when modern ideas are not applied to the judgment
of ancient practice. But the legal fact and the historical fact, though
not in reality contradictory, often appear as things quite different. For
example, Roger de Montgomery was legally Earl of Shropshire, but he
was mostly called by himself and others Earl of Shrewsbury, and so, his-
torically, he was and is Earl of Shrewsbury. John Talbot was created
Earl of Shropshire, but neither he nor his descendants were ever called so
in English, and, historically, they have always been Earls of Shrewsbury.
In like manner, the Albineys were legally Earls of Sussex, but they
were generally known as Earls of Arundel, and so, historically, they, on
the whole, remain. Again, Dugdale says that Edmund, Earl of Lan-
caster, ' had nothing of the title of Earl of Derby ; ' but, nevertheless, his
son called himself on his seal ' Earl Ferrers,' as the previous Earls of
Derby had generally done. The style of John de Vere, 13th Earl of
Oxford, as proclaimed in the presence of King Henry VII., included the
title of Marquis of Dublin, for which no vestige of legal authority is
PREFACE. xi
known. Five of the succeeding Earls of Oxford were called Viscount
Bolebec, or Bulbeck ; yet no record of the creation of such viscounty
exists. In the same way, one at least of the Stanleys, Earls of Derby,
was called Viscount Kynton. Historically, therefore, there existed a
Marquis of Dublin, five or six Viscounts Bolebec, and a Viscount Kyn-
ton, who cannot be accounted for in a legal manner. These instances
will serve to make clear the point of view from which certain portions
of the work have been executed. The main bulk and most important
part, however, is formed directly from material concerning which doubt
or controversy cannot well arise.
The three volumes now about to be issued contain the special in-
formation previously indicated, relating to all the Dukes, Marquises,
Earls, and Viscounts of England, from 1066 to 1885 ; including those
pertaining to the Barons whose title remained the same after promotion
to a higher grade in the peerage, such as Abergavenny, Berkeley, and
Delawarr.
It remains now only to record the author's sense of obligation to
many persons in connexion with this work ; and first, he must name with
great regret those who are no more. From Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy,
Professor J. S. Brewer, and the Rev. H. O. Coxe, late Bodley's Librarian,
he received such strong approval of his plan, and encouragement to
persevere with it, as cheered him much during many years of labour.
From Messrs. John J. Bond and Alfred Kingston, Assistant Keepers of
the Public Records, he early received valuable aid, by being put in the way
of pursuing his researches, and later, by ready help in any difficulty. To
the late Vice- Admiral Robert Hall, C.B., Secretary to the Admiralty, he
was also much indebted for information given and procured.
He has next to express his acknowledgments to several personal
friends and other gentlemen for their kindness in promoting his labours
in various ways and degrees ; and, while exonerating each from direct
a 2

responsibility for any statement in this work, he desires especially to
thank Sir Ralph W. Thompson, K.C.B., Under Secretary of State for
War; Sir Albert Woods, < Garter ; ' Sir Bernard Burke, C.B., ' Ulster ;'
Mr. C. Lennox Peel, Clerk of the Privy Council ; Mr. E. B. Nicholson,
Bodley's Librarian ; Mr. T. J. Mazzinghi, of the Salt Library, Stafford;
Mr. Edward Bellasis, Lancaster Herald ; the Rev. H. V. Le Bas, Preacher
and Librarian at the Charterhouse ; Mr. Walford D. Selby, of the Public
Record Office ; and Mr. F. Skene, of the Parliamentary Office of the
House of Lords. Nor must he omit to make public acknowledgment of
the unfailing promptitude with which the Registrars of the Universities
of Oxford, Cambridge, and St. Andrews, though entire strangers to him,
have answered the questions which he has had occasion to send to them.

In his countenance there ap-

melancholy.' — Lives of the

1704. — 'He is of a middle
stature, of a brown complex-
ion, with a sour, lofty look.'
— J. Macky, p. 20.
' The Duke . . . was tall ;
& tho' he was not perhaps
the most exactly shaped,
being thought a little too
long-waisted, & rather too
narrow in his chest & shoul-
ders ; yet all together, he
looked more like a man of
quality than most of those
of his rank who lived at the
same time with him. . . .
He had an air of grandeur
which gave you an impres-
sion he was of more than
common quality. He was
allowed to be handsome,
his face being a regular oval,
& all the features of it well-
proportioned. His counte-
nance had an extraordinary
sweetness, joined with a
lively & penetrating look.'
