Introduction
This is a record of my ancestors, drawn from a variety of sources. Sources
include, but are not limited to, living memory of my family members, family
papers, and a plethora of hints gleaned from Ancestry.com. I don’t always know
the actual sources of any one piece of information, so I will not always provide
sources. Except for information about me and those relatives I know, or have
known, in life, none of the information is my personal creation. It is impossible to
own the names, dates, and places of one’s ancestry, the way one would own
authorship of a literary work.
I do not for one moment claim that this work is complete or allencompassing. I know that there are people, places, dates, and relationships that
are incorrect, contradictory, or missing altogether. I hope that I can fill in the
gaps in some later edition. For now, even an incomplete look at history is enough

to start with. I will state that no piece of information in this book has been
deliberately falsified by me, and I have done all that I know how to do with the
resources presently available to me to make it as accurate as I know how.
Readers may notice that certain ancestral lines wander into the realms of
mythology or of Biblical tradition. I report what I have collected, even if it seems
far-fetched or absurd to be descended from gods of any kind. I ask that you bear
with me in these far distant corners of my ancestry. I would like to find more
credible ancestors, but we cannot choose our relatives.
I have chosen to trace my ancestry back from me, since that is the one
point in my family tree of which I am completely sure. In each generation back in
time, I include those ancestors whom I can identify, even if I know only part of a
name, or if I know that someone is the grandchild of a particular other person.
When my information on a particular line runs out, I simply don’t include that
line in the next generation back.
The layout for my family records is a synthesis of the various forms I have
seen through the years, in both paper and digital forms. I have attempted not to
copy any particular form, but vital ancestral information can only be arranged so
many ways. If my forms look like your forms, that is purely an accidental
coincidence.
I welcome helpful feedback from readers, though I will ignore any mean
or hateful feedback. If you have information that you believe fills a gap in my
family record, I invite you to send me email at dkbarry2010@gmail.com. Please
DO NOT send me your favorite forwards, invitations to online applications,
dating requests, or other spam. I enjoy hearing from other researchers, and
finding distant cousins, but the other stuff is a waste of everyone’s time.

Ancestry is not neatly linear. A person may descend in a direct line from
one person or another, but that is only one of many lines in that person's ancestry.
A family tree may be used to describe a person's ancestry, but a tree suggests a
sturdy trunk with a few branches. What really happens in a person's ancestry is,
at its simplest, a continual doubling of the lines of ancestors going back from the
single point of the person whose ancestry is being traced. The idea of linear
ancestry and descent worked well enough when one man's ancestry was traced
through his paternal ancestors, without regard to the women who contributed to
his existence, but it is no longer sufficient.
When a family tree begins to become a complex family record, identifying
the sibling's of a person's direct ancestors, the web of relationships can become
quite tangled. As recently as the 19th century, it was not uncommon for cousins
to marry one another in many parts of the Western world. In small communities,
the various siblings of one household might marry the various siblings of another
household, such that the children of several families of the next generation might
have grandparents in common.
This family record is an attempt to trace my direct ancestry in as many
lines as I can identify. I will list the children and other spouses or partners of my
ancestors as points of interest, but these details are no more than commentary. I
know there are places where the lines of my ancestry will converge briefly, then
diverge again, producing tangles in the lines, but that is simply the way it
happened. Life does not follow neatly designed patterns; it is a joyful riot of
being.
I begin with me. That may sound terribly egotistical, but it is the only
place I can start if I am to present my ancestry. I will present the facts as I have
discovered them, and I will strive for accuracy; I beg the reader's indulgence if
there are gaps.

Dislocated Hip
I was born about ten weeks early according to what I was always told as a child. When I was born, my left hip
was not formed right. I was told it was called a congenital dislocated hip.
Dr. Fabricius put my hip together surgically. My mother told me there was a small scar inside my groin, and I
used to look for it with a mirror, but I never found it. After my hip was relocated, I was put in a body cast. It went from
just under my arms all the way down to my toes. Mom said the cast had to be cut off and replaced about every two weeks
to let me grow. She said the cast saw was why I was so afraid of loud noises later.
The series of casts stayed on for about a year. During that time, I wasn’t able to wear a diaper. The doctors left
a small slot in the cast between my legs and Mom used sanitary napkins in the slot in place of diapers. She said that
sanitary napkins were kept behind the counter in the pharmacy in those days and she had to ask the pharmacist for them.
After a while, he got really worried about her because she was buying far too many sanitary napkins. She had to explain
about my cast to reassure him.
When I was the age to be learning to crawl and walk, I had the heavy weight of the cast to deal with. Casts
were made of plaster in those days, not the lighter fiberglass. I learned to move about with my arms by dragging my body
behind me. As a result, I had fairly weak legs but amazingly strong arms as a child.
Once the final cast came off I had to wear a hip brace for about six months. I vaguely remember Nana feeding
me in a chaise lounge out by the tree that was just a stump by the time I was old enough to play in the yard.
The doctors told my parents that I would never walk. They said I would need a wheelchair for life. My parents
didn’t listen, and it’s a good thing that they didn’t. Although I had a bone spur on my left hip, which kept me from running
well until I was nearly an adult, I was walking like any other child by age two.
Sense of the Divine
It's amazing how some things stick in a child's memory, while other things drift quietly into the past. Many
people even say that a child has no conscious memories before four or five years of age. Every so often, one of those
strong, unique memories will prove that wrong.
I was only two years old the first time I sensed divinity. The images of that day are etched in my mind as clearly
as this morning's breakfast.
My grandmother, Nana, who had most of the raising of me, worked in one of the dorms at St. Joseph's College
in Bennington, Vermont, as a dietician. I often stayed at the dorm with her when my parents worked. The nuns who
worked at the college sometimes watched me while Nana was working, not caring that I wasn't Catholic. Sometimes, we
just played on the wide lawns, but sometimes, they took me to the grey, stone convent that was near the dorm.
One day, I was walking through the convent with Sister Bill. Her proper name was Sister William Marie, but I
was many years older before I knew that; later, she became Sister Annunciata, then, later still, she reclaimed her Christian
name and became Sister Gertrude. The convent was dimly lit, and it was very quiet. I remember it always being dark and
quiet. As we went down a hallway, I stopped to look at a curtain hanging in the middle of a wall on my right. I was pretty
sure the curtain wasn't covering a window. The curtain was black, but it looked like knitted silver. It hung without moving,
but it shimmered.
Sister Bill noticed that I had stopped, and she turned back to find out why. I asked her what was behind the
strange curtain. She smiled, and told me that God's house was behind it. She told me it was very holy, and that I must never
touch that curtain. I remember wondering how God, whom I knew was larger than anything in the world, could live in a
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher

tiny house behind a curtain. I had an idea that something like a doll’s house was behind there. I was awed at the thought
that these nuns could have God’s house inside their own house.
I stood staring up at the curtain. Until then, God had been fairly formless to me. I'd heard of Him, but had no
personal experience of Him. Suddenly, God was real to me. He had a home I could identify. I didn’t have to wonder any
more.
I don't recall telling anyone about the curtain until I was many years older. I kept the image in my memory, and
thought about it in quiet moments. Unknown to the various adults in my life, I had come in contact with the Divine. More
than a Sunday school or Bible study, that moment in a darkened hallway gave me the beginning of a belief which has
lasted a lifetime.
The convent is no longer in the beautiful stone building I once knew. No matter where the nuns gather, though,
God's house will always be in my heart, right where it's been since the day I looked up at a strange, shimmering curtain.
Adder
Like many people, and most women, I know, I have a deep, intense, unyielding fear of snakes. Unlike most of
them, I can identify the cause of my fear, and it is very real.
When I was growing up, we had checkered adders living in our front yard. There were other snakes, poisonous
and otherwise, in the fields and swamp which made up much of our property, but only the adders ever really bothered me.
Only an adder ever troubled me directly.
I was very young when my fear of snakes began, perhaps as young as three. I was playing in our large side yard,
which held my swing set and sandbox. For whatever reason, I left those amusements behind and wandered toward the
stretch of yard which ran parallel to the street. I knew I wasn't supposed to go there, but I was a curious child.
As I wandered over the lawn, I stumbled across a nest of tiny baby snakes. I hardly had time to realize what I
had found before the mother snake charged me. She came fast, in as close to a straight line as I've ever seen a snake
manage. I turned and fled back toward the safety of the swing set.
The snake followed me as I ran on the stumpy legs of a toddler. I stopped only when I was certain that she was
no longer trying to catch me.
I've been told time and again as an adult that a small snake like a checkered adder won't chase a human being. I
can only respond that I was such a human. I was there. I remember it vividly. The snake chased me.
Napping Alone
I was three, maybe four, years old the first time I remember being truly alone. I went to the early childhood
development program run by Bennington College every day. To me, it was simply nursery school. The school was run by
Sally Sugarman, whom I still remember clearly over a quarter century later.
Each day, we all pulled out folding mats and scattered them over the nursery school floor. We were supposed to
lie down for a nap, one child on each mat. More often than not, Danny Monks and I would pull our mats behind a table,
sometimes with Beatrice Gonzalez, and make tents out of our mats. As long as we were quiet, no one really tried to make
us sleep.
One day, I actually fell asleep at nap time. I had my mat laid out near the wall, behind one of the tables. When I
woke up, the classroom was dark and still. None of the other children were there. I couldn't find Miss Sugarman. I looked
everywhere: in the kitchen, in the room where the guinea pig lived, in the room where the littler kids played, even in Miss
Sugarman's office. I found no one.
Beginning to be worried, I went out to the playground. Again, I saw no one. I heard no voices. I was a fairly
fearless child then, always having known a world where I was safe. I knew I was alone, but I didn't hide in fear as many
children might have done. Instead, I went looking for my friends.
I wandered down the road that led away from the college toward the south gate. Of course, I couldn't have
expressed it that way then. It was the way Mom and Daddy pointed the car to go home. It was as good a direction to try as
any other. I don’t remember being worried that I was walking away by myself, or that I wasn’t supposed to leave school.
After a little while, I began to hear voices and laughter. I wandered around the curve of the road and found my
whole class. Some men had dug a ditch to work on the road, and they had stopped working to put on a puppet show. I
joined the other children, and soon realized that no one had known that I wasn't there all along.
I never napped in nursery school again.
Hard Headed
I have a hard head. I always have had. It's been proved by the number of times I've fallen on my head. The first
I remember of these times was in nursery school.
I was playing in front of the nursery school with my best friend, Beatrice Gonzalez. She was riding a little red
tricycle, and I was riding on the back of it. Until, that is, we hit a bump.
I fell off the back of the tricycle and smacked the back of my head on the macadam paving. I don't remember
doing so, but I probably cried. I do remember that it really hurt.
26
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Afterward, the teachers made quite a fuss. I had a nasty goose egg on the back of my head. All the rest of that
day, I was made to help clean the classroom while the other children played in the bright sunshine. I wasn’t allowed to go
outside to play, and I wasn’t allowed to sit still or to lie down. I looked at the other children through the windows, and
thought I must have done something bad to be made to work while they played.
I was very tired that afternoon, and wanted nothing more than a nap. I was not a child who usually took naps. I
was told that I couldn't go to sleep because of the bump on my head. The teachers said I had a concussion. I was far too
young to know what that big word meant. To me, it only meant that I could neither play with the other kids nor go to
sleep, both of which smacked of punishment.
It seemed like hours later, but in reality was probably only an hour or two, when Mom and Daddy came to get
me. They took me to the hospital, which was Putnam Memorial then, but is now Southern Vermont Medical Center. I was
still very sleepy, and the lump on the back of my head still hurt. The doctors told my parents to take me to Albany.
It was a long ride from Bennington to Albany in the back of our big, blue station wagon. All grown up now, I
know that it's about an hour and a half drive. As a small child, hours meant nothing, but a long time was a long time. I still
wasn’t allowed to sleep, even though I always slept on long drives to keep from getting car sick.
The hospital in Albany was bigger than the one in Bennington, and it seemed colder. It wasn't that they had
better air conditioning; it was a feeling inside. We were strangers there. The waiting room they took us to was sort of tan
all over, and it was small. It had no windows, and just a few chairs. It felt alien. The waiting rooms that formed my
standards were Doctor Shea's and Doctor Roach's. Doctor Shea had nice wooden chairs, lots of windows, and plants
everywhere. Doctor Roach had a huge fish tank, lots of plants, and copies of Highlights magazine. The waiting room in
Albany fell very far short of those standards.
By the time the Albany doctor was finally able to look at me, I wasn't feeling sleepy anymore. My head wasn't
hurting, either. I was doing my best to play in that empty little room. My parents were clearly upset when the doctor told
them I was fine. Somehow, I had managed to be bad again. For reasons I couldn't fathom, they didn't want me to be fine
just then. Years later, of course, I figured out that they had been worried and made a long trip to an expensive hospital
when they hadn't really needed to. Back then, I just couldn't see that.
Appendicitis
I had my appendix out in October of fifth grade. I woke up early one morning with the worst stomachache I
had ever had. I remember sitting in the upstairs bathroom, holding my stomach, and trying not to throw up. Mom said I
woke her up with moaning that sounded like a sick cow.
Mom took me to the emergency room in Bennington. Dr. Loy told her he wanted to keep me for observation,
so I spent the night at the hospital. The next morning, a nurse brought me a tray with soggy scrambled eggs, dry toast, and
lukewarm black coffee. I think there was orange juice, too. I still felt pretty sick, and hardly ate anything.
When Mom came to the hospital that morning, Dr. Loy told her I had stomach flu, but that I had had a good
breakfast. He said she should drop me off at school on the way home.
Fortunately, Mom saw that I was much too sick to go to school, and took me home instead. All day, I just got
sicker, until Mom finally took me back to the emergency room. She was told that Dr. Loy had gone on vacation that
morning, but that Dr. Frost could see me. That turned out to be good, as Dr. Frost was a friend of the family and we trusted
him.
Dr. Frost said I had appendicitis, and that my appendix needed to come out.
I was taken to a room, where a nurse got me ready for surgery. I was allowed to watch television while they got
me ready. I was supposed to have been on a local television show at seven o’clock that night, and I was watching when the
host told the audience I was in the hospital, and said she hoped I would be better soon.
They took me to an operating room where a very nice man put a shot in my IV and told me to count backward
from ten. I remember seeing Oakley Frost’s distinctively bald head pass a window on his way to the operating room as I
counted, but about the time I reached seven everything went black.
I woke up in a bed in a strange room. The only thing I really remember was a clock on the wall. I think it said
it was somewhere after ten. Mom and Daddy came in a few minutes later. Mom told me later that I asked her if this was
worth a doll, though I don’t really remember it.
I was in the hospital for several days. The other girl in my room turned out to be Mrs. Salter’s granddaughter.
Mrs. Salter had been my third grade teacher, and she took time to visit with me when she visited her granddaughter.
Rachel was a sweet girl, and we had a good time talking to each other while we were sharing a room.
My appendix had turned gangrene by the time Dr. Frost took it out. I was told later that it would have burst if it
had stayed in for one more hour. Because of the gangrene, my incision wasn’t closed up right away; a couple of times each
day, a nurse would take off my bandage and clean the open wound. I wasn’t supposed to look when they cleaned it, but I
couldn’t resist looking once. It was really weird seeing it, especially because the medication they gave me kept it from
hurting much at all.
Finally, the day came for me to go home. Dr. Frost came to close the metal stitches he had left open. A nurse
came in first and gave me several shots in the belly so I wouldn’t feel the closing. When they were all done, Mom and
Daddy took me home.

One of the less pleasant memories of that stay in the hospital was when I pulled out my IV. The nurse had
moved the IV that morning. Before she moved it, it hardly hurt at all, but after she moved it, it hurt and burned so much
that I couldn’t stand it. Even though I was only ten years old, I pulled the IV out of the back of my hand. The nurse called
Dr. Frost to get him to make me let her replace the IV, but he told her to leave it out and start letting me eat. I was so
grateful to him.
I was home from school for more than a week after I got out of the hospital. To my surprise, Jessie Palmer
came to visit me after school one day; I had never thought of Jessie as a friend. Suzy Wright came to visit, too. I had been
taking horseback riding lessons with Suzy, and had stayed at her house several times that summer, though it turned out that
fifth grade was the only year we were friends.
While I was still at home, my class sent me a big stack of get well cards they had made for me. Missy Lebert
said in her card that she already had her appendix out. I read those cards over and over, and kept them in the drawer of my
bookcase for years.
Writing Competition
One of the most significant events in my high school career was my participation in the Vermont Honors
Competition for Excellence in Writing. The competition was sponsored by the University of Vermont, and was held for
the first time when I was a sophomore at Mount Anthony Union High School.
The competition consisted of three levels: local, regional, and state. The first level was held in the fall. Each
student had to write an impromptu essay in class. We were not told at that point that we were participating in a
competition, so I thought nothing of it. We were given the subject for the essays just moments before we began to write. I
don’t remember what the subject was for that essay. At the end of the class, we were told that our essays would be entered
in the state writing competition. I was a little bit nervous upon hearing that, and worried whether I had written well
enough, but I was used to getting A’s on my papers, so it was only a slight bit of anxiety, and it didn’t last long.
We didn’t hear anything more about the essays or the competition for several weeks. With everything else I had
to think about, I forgot about it entirely during that time. Then, one morning, the winner for each of the four grades was
announced over the public address system. I knew I was a competent writer, but I did not have a lot of confidence in
myself. As a result, I was very surprised to hear my name announced. I sat in home room, staring at the public address
speaker for several moments, unable to think or speak, until the bell shattered the moment.
It only took a few minutes for surprise to be replaced by pride and satisfaction. Although I would have denied it
if I had been asked, I knew that I would have been very disappointed if anyone else had won the competition in my grade.
I have always been a perfectionist, and it would have crushed me if I had not won.
In February, I went to the high school in Randolph for the regional level of the competition. There were five
schools in our region. It was a bit unsettling to be in an unfamiliar school, surrounded by students I didn’t know. I didn’t
even know the other participants from my own school. I had been calm and confident up until that point, but now my
stomach began churning, and there was not quite enough air. The students from the other schools seemed to be larger than
life. I was sure they were all smarter than I was.
I’m sure we only had to wait a few minutes for the competition to begin, but those minutes passed like hours. I
was sure that I would fail miserably. I concentrated on taking each new breath, hoping I would not embarrass myself by
being sick there in the hall. We were finally ushered into a classroom with twenty empty desks. It was time to begin.
Small, blue composition books and sharpened pencils were handed out, and we were each given a sealed
envelope containing the subject for our essay. My hands trembled as I tore open my envelope. The sophomore topic was
the person in history we admired the most, and why we admired him or her. I thought about it for several minutes, near
panic as no good candidates came to mind. I considered and discarded several possibilities. I finally decided to write
about Abraham Lincoln.
I had one hour to complete my essay, beginning with the moment I had opened my envelope. Once I started
writing, all of my nervousness and insecurity melted away, and I wrote steadily and confidently. I finished my essay about
forty-five minutes into the allotted time, and turned in my booklet.
Once again, there was a wait of several weeks between the writing and the announcement of the winners. This
time, however, I never forgot about the competition. Each morning, I listened carefully to the announcements, hoping to
hear the results, yet dreading that I would hear a name other than my own. One morning, the announcement finally came.
I had won the regional level, and would be going on to the final competition at the state level. My fear that I would
embarrass myself by not winning the regional level of the competition evaporated as relief at learning that I had won
washed over me. I released the breath I had not realized I was holding. My relief was quickly replaced by pride and
happiness as I received congratulations from nearly everyone I passed, with the feeling that I deserved nothing less. I had
succeeded, and everyone around me knew it.
The local and regional competitions were just a foretaste of the real competition. The final level of the
competition was held on May 9, 1985, at the University of Vermont. I was a bundle of nerves as my English teacher, Ms.
Woodard, drove me more than three hours north to face the four other top sophomore writers in Vermont.
I knew it was a very important day, no matter how the competition ended. In consideration of the day’s
importance, I dressed in my most mature outfit: a peach linen skirt suit, a white blouse with a ruffled front and ruffled
28
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
cuffs, and high-heeled pumps. Although I looked very grown-up on the outside, I felt very young and unsure of myself
inside.
The final level of the competition was held in the morning, and consisted of two essays, with a very brief break
between them. Once again, we each received a blue composition book, several sharpened pencils, and a sealed envelope.
We were given one hour in which to write. I tore open the envelope and read my first topic. I had to write an essay
comparing the views of teenagers with those of adults. My essay, which I titled “Teenagers Versus Adults,” took me about
forty minutes to write. As I began writing, all of my doubts vanished. As I had done in Randolph, I wrote quickly and
steadily. When I turned in my booklet, I was confident that I had given my best effort. I sat quietly, watching other
students finish their essays as I waited for the break.
The second half of the morning was very much like the first half. My second topic was to decide whether or not
fantasy or imagination was important, and to support my position. I wrote “The Importance of Fantasy” in just over thirty
minutes. When I sat down after turning in my booklet, a senior boy whispered to me to ask why I had rushed through
without trying. I just smiled and sat quietly until the time was up.
Ms. Woodard and I had lunch and walked around the town during the afternoon. I was very, very worried, but I
tried to act like I was relaxed. I couldn’t concentrate on my conversation with my teacher, or on my surroundings.
Evening finally came. There was an elegant banquet before the awards ceremony. The lights were low, and the
tables were draped with real tablecloths. I hardly tasted the food that was served, and have no memory of anything that I
ate. The air crackled with expectancy and anxiety. Conversations seemed stiff and unnatural, and laughter seemed just a
bit too loud. By the time the dessert dishes were cleared, and the competition officials stepped up to the podium, the air
practically sang with tension.
I could hardly breathe when they started announcing the winners. They started with the fourth runner up in the
twelfth grade. There were cheers and applause as each name was called, and each student made his or her way through the
crowd of tables up to the podium. Finally, they reached the tenth grade, and I listened anxiously for my name. I was
relieved when I was not the fourth runner up. I felt dizzy after I was not called for the third runner up. My stomach
clenched into knots when I was not the second runner up. I was paralyzed as the official opened the card with the name of
the first runner up. I strained forward, sure it would be me, but hoping it would not be. I screamed out loud when my
name was not called. I felt like my entire body had just been released from suffocating bonds. Ms. Woodard and I hugged
each other with tears on our cheeks. When my name was called as the tenth grade winner a few moments later, my joy and
triumph were dizzying.
I hardly felt the floor under my feet as I went up to receive my certificate and a check for $1,500.00. I heard the
applause as no more than a dim murmur in my ears. I was trembling as I shook hands with the president of the university.
A reporter for the Burlington Free Press took my picture, and I was sure life couldn’t possibly be any better.
I don’t remember hearing the ninth grade winners announced. Nothing else mattered, now that I had won. I
bounced in my seat as I waited for the ceremony to end so I could call my mother with the news.
Ms. Woodard drove me home that night, and I got there in time to watch myself on the late news with my
mother and grandmother. It had been an amazing day, and sharing it with my family was the perfect ending.

Caught on the Clothes Line
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
We little children had such fun riding on our old pet horse that father kept for an emergency. We used to feed
him apples and maple sugar and et.. If it rained the horse could go into the barn floor and eat hay or if thirsty, go to the
brook near by for a drink. One day Bessie our equestrian, took us for a ride. She steered the horse by a rope, no bridle or
bit, and as we approached our old wire clothes line, that was below our home and was often used to hang out wet horse
blankets to dry, she said, "duck." I stuck my face up and said, "what?" The clothesline caught me right under my chin and
off I went. When I looked up again I was lying under the horse looking up at his belly. The horse never moved and I
crawled safely out. That night when my mother was getting me scrubbed up for bed she said, "What is this big black mark
under your chin, that I cannot wash off?" That was the first she had heard of our latest escapade.
Sweeping the Cobblestones
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
Every morning the soldiers were ordered to sweep clean the cobblestone walk in front of their quarters. As soon
as possible after the men were finished, the French women swept all the dirt back in place in order to preserve their ancient
stone pavement. Allen Fletcher, stationed there in the First World War, who spoke and understood French, was very useful
to the American and French personnel at La Dagueniere.
School House Steam Bath
One early spring morning on our way to school on Sawyer Hill in Mount Holly, the melting snow and ice was
covering the small bridge we had to cross. It was not a very wide bridge, perhaps half a dozen planks wide, but the water
we had to wade through was too wide to jump, se we waded through the icy water. My sister, Maggie Townsend, was
helping our little sister, Mary, who was about seven years old, over the bridge. Little Mary tried to jump over a cake of ice
and fell into the water. It took us about ten minutes to reach the school house. The teacher draped off a corner of the room
and disrobed Mary of her icy wet clothes. The other children contributed their dry sweaters, coats, and leggings. The
teacher wrung out Mary's wet clothing. It was then draped around the hot stove to dry before she could wear it home. The
school children had a steam bath that day.
Little Zewy
My Grandmother Hayes did not like my name, so she called me "Little Zewy." In the Bible, it is said, Azubah
was the mother of Jehoshaphat.
Years later I found my name in the Plymouth town record, was so misspelled, blotted, crossed out, and
obliterated, that I had to go through probate court to have my name changed from Azubah Hathaway Townsend to Zoa
Hathaway Townsend, to make it legal for the town records.
Jumping in the Brook
The game that I was best in was jumping the brook that ran below the school house in its widest place. I had
managed to do this on several occasions. But, one day while I was midway over the brook, one of the big boys out on the
other side yelled at me, and I jumped into the middle of the brook. Just then, the school bell rang and we all filed into the
school house. I managed to get into my seat without the teacher seeing my condition. I never said a word about my mishap,
so I sat in wet clothes the rest of the day. The teacher never discovered my plight. By the time I reached home, I was quite
dried out.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
The Berry Post
At Ninevah, my father, Moses Townsend, every year or so, burned over a part of the field so it would yield
more blueberries which we used to sell. Quite often people would steal the berries, so father would put up paper poster
signs saying "NO TRESPASSING" but the thieves would take them down. Father decided to have signs printed on cloth
which were more difficult to destroy.
On one particular day, the berries were just right to pick, so mother sent me to the berry field to keep the thieves
out. Sure enough, they had torn down the cloth signs, and a couple of people were picking berries in the very best place. I
arrived by way of the woods, and they didn't see me until I appeared in their midst and ordered them to get out. They said
"your land is not posted." I replied, "I'm the post!" They never came back.
A Shattering Experience
One time my mother went to Ludlow from Ninevah with a large wagon in order to bring home my cousins for a
visit with the Townsend children and many needed supplies for home consumption and especially to purchase a big supply
of glass window panes, so as to replace all the broken or cracked window lights, in the house, to insure better insulation
before winter came. We children were delighted to have several cousins visit us, and we were having fun jumping from the
hay-mow, down on to a big load of hay on the barn floor. I thought we could get many more jumps in if we did not have to
climb the ladder back onto the hay-mow, so I rushed up to my play house to get a wooden box that would save us from
climbing the ladder. In my haste I got the big box but while jumping over the stone wall with it, I caught my knee on a barb
wire, which was on top of the stone wall, and tore the flesh off the top of my knee cap. When I returned to the house they
were all going in to supper so I started to join them, but my knee hurt so badly that I fainted away and my dear cousin
Josephine Leonard was so frightened that she sat down with a bang, on the package of window glass that my mother had so
carefully brought from Ludlow and BROKE EVERY SINGLE ONE.

The Day Grandma Fletcher Died
Zoa Hathaway Townsend Fletcher died in June of 1985. She was my Grandma Fletcher.
One Saturday morning, I woke to the sound of the telephone ringing. I had a telephone on the table next to the bed
in my room. I answered the phone, noticing as I did that it was only a little after 8:00 AM.
Daddy was on the phone. He said he was in Ludlow, and I knew immediately why he must be calling. Daddy lived
in Bennington. Grandma Fletcher lived in the Gill Odd Fellows Home in Ludlow. He would only call our house that early
in the morning from Ludlow if Grandma Fletcher had died. All of that thinking took only as long as it took Daddy to draw
breath between sentences. A moment later, he confirmed what I had realized: Grandma Fletcher had died early that
morning.

Home From the War
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
During the Second World War, my husband was building military installations in Alaska and in the Aleutian
Islands. He was gone for over two years. One day, I received a telephone call from him. It was the first call in a very long
34
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
time. We had been keeping in contact by mail, but mail delivery was very iffy, and he and I both would often go without
any word for weeks at a time. He was coming home. He was flying military transport from Nome, Alaska to Montreal,
Quebec; then civilian airline to New York City. My daughter always thought it odd that I didn't meet him at the airport. I
figured that he had a key and would eventually get home. I went to bed that evening. He did get home, taking a milk train
to our village, and then a taxicab to the house. Why lose sleep? I'd see him whenever he got there.
Colleges, Coffeepots, and Romance
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
My husband and I met when we were both in college. He was a student at Columbia (in New York City) and I
just happened to stop at an ice cream parlor/coffee shop where he had a part time job. Oh, he was tall and smart and
handsome! I was quite smitten with him, and returned often for ice cream or coffee. His job was making coffee in huge

Defending Her Brother
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
My brother, Alec, was six years younger than I was. I was in the habit of defending my brother, and my feisty
spirit stood me in good stead for it. I often had to go to his school to put a stop to his being bullied or exploited.
A Tale of Two Dogs
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
My cousin Rod and I each had a dog. They were either Labrador or Chesapeake Bay retrievers. The latter, I
think. I named my dog Sooner. I treated Sooner well, and loved him, and he was a good dog. I trained him to retrieve ducks
from the hunt. Sooner loved to swim, and we would swim together.
Rod was of a different temperament than I was. He disciplined his dog with punishment, rather than with love.
He was mean to the dog. Over time, the poor dog naturally turned mean in his turn. Eventually, they had to get rid of Rod's
dog because he was so mean.
Nickel Napoleons
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
When I was a little girl, one of my regular Saturday morning chores was going to the grocery store for our
weekly supplies. It was a long walk, and the packages were heavy, but I always liked doing it. I was always given a nickel
to spend. I used to buy a huge Napoleon pastry and eat it slowly as I trudged home. There were no shopping bags then, and
groceries were wrapped in packages and tied with string. Every week, I stopped, ate my Napoleon, and loved every second
of the creamy delight.
Will to Live
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
When I had Debby's mother, I was very toxic. The doctors at the hospital thought I had died in childbirth. I was
not dead, however, of course, but only in a coma. I heard the doctors talking about my having died, and my will was so
strong that I came out of the coma and lived.
Visiting Nova Scotia
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
When I was growing up, my family spent vacations at my Uncle John's farm in Nova Scotia. I loved it very
much.
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
35
Uncle John's home was not so modern as my home in Rye, New York. I always remembered having to go out
away from the house to use the outhouse.
Uncle John lived very near the Atlantic Ocean. Fish, lobster, and shrimp were a regular part of their diet. Rather
than throw away the shells of shrimp and lobster after a meal, they put them in with the food for the chickens, and they
gobbled them up. Imagine - the seafood diet turned the eggs pink and made them taste of fish.
I always liked coffee, from the time I was old enough to drink it. When I visited Nova Scotia, I wasn't able to
have coffee. Practically every time I turned around, someone was offering me a cup of tea, which I couldn't very well turn
down. The people of Nova Scotia all seemed to drink lots of strong tea, in true Scottish fashion.
Criminal Law
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
I used to work in a large and successful New York City law office. I was the office manager, and had the
typists, secretaries, and law associates under my supervision.
The lawyers specialized in criminal law. Many of the clients were mobsters, and leaders of organized crime,
though I don't remember any of their names anymore. They all seemed to be very respectable, though, and were gentlemen.
They would come in to the office to talk to the lawyers about defending one or another of their "family" members. I wasn't
afraid of the big time criminals because they lived by a code of honor, and would not hurt me without cause, unlike many
petty criminals. Part of the reason that I wasn't afraid, also, was that they seldom lost a case.
Once, in the law office, one of the senior partners wanted to use one of the typewriters on a weekend, when no
one else was there. All of the clerks and secretaries knew how to touch-type, so they didn't look at the keys on the
typewriters. In those days, all the typewriters were manual, with individual, raised keys, which required some force to
operate. The keys had rubber pads on them, to make it easier to type, and the pads had letters on them, in case someone
needed them. Since the pads wore out pretty quickly on the common letters, the typists replaced the vowels and common
letters with whatever extra letter pads they had. A keyboard might easily have several q's, x's, k's, and so forth. The lawyer
wanted to type something, but he couldn't touch-type. He had to look at the keys, and nearly had fits trying to figure out the
typewriters in the office. He told me about it on Monday. After that, he always had someone else do his typing.
My Hair Is PINK?
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
When I was a young woman, working at the office, I thought it would be nice to highlight my hair. I'm a natural
blonde, but I had heard so much about this new hair coloring called "Henna." I decided to try it. My hair dresser tried to
discourage me, but I really wanted the red highlights. This was long, long before the days of Clairol and Redken. Henna
was the only hair dye that existed. After convincing the hair stylist to do it, I left, feeling good about the great reddish
shine. In the bright light of day, it wasn't a reddish shine at all - it was bright pink! Pink hair? I tried to have it redone right
away, but had to wait until the following afternoon. I had to go to work with my bright pink hair wrapped up in a
kerchief...hiding my mistake. For a whole long, horrible day, I looked like a housekeeper rather than an office manager.
The Malaria Mosquito
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
One of my few bad memories of Nova Scotia was that it was there that I was bitten by the mosquito which gave
me malaria.
My malaria came back to me many times when I was a girl, and a young woman. I had to take quinine tablets
for the terrible chills and fever. One day, when I was in high school, I was so sick with the malaria that I was sent home. I
was a proud young lady, and very strong-willed. Even though there were telephones in the area where I lived, and my
father actually had an automobile, I refused to call him away from his work to give me a ride. I walked the three or five
miles home, on an already warm day, with a malarial fever.
The Housekeeper Did It
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
It was not that long after the Depression, or maybe just the end of it. I was out doing errands, and I met a black
woman on the street. We got to talking, and I learned that the woman had no home, no job, and not much of anywhere to
go. Feeling that she was a decent, honest woman, I offered her a job cooking and cleaning. Ellen said she didn't take care of
children, but she could cook and clean. I didn't have any children at the time, so that was fine. I gave Ellen the job, and a
bedroom, and also a key to the house, and told her to go move right in. Ellen worked for me for many years, and she
always called your grandfather and me Mister Bill and Miss Florence.
One day, Ellen made a mistake that I could never forget. I forgave it, but I never forgot it. I had bought a nice
leg of lamb for dinner, and had asked Ellen to prepare it. Then your grandfather and I went off to work.
When we returned home for dinner in the evening, Ellen proudly presented the leg of lamb, declaring that she
had done "real good." She said we would never know we were eating lamb if we hadn't been told. She was right. I was
36
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
awfully upset, because my housekeeper had ruined a leg of lamb. It turned out that Ellen particularly disliked lamb, and
wanted to spare us the necessity of having to eat it.
Another Story of Ellen
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
The depression was a very hard time for many people. I was one of the fortunate ones; it didn't hit my family
too hard. It certainly affected my husband's construction business, but my job was secure. One day, at the height of the
depression, I was having a business lunch in a nice restaurant. At another table, sitting alone with a battered suitcase beside
her, was a black woman. She was crying. I couldn't understand what was wrong. I spoke to the restaurant owner, and he
explained that her name was Ellen. He had known her for years, and the people she worked for had to let her go. She had
come to the restaurant hoping to find work...or even food. While he wished he could do something for her, his business was
also suffering, and jobs and money were scarce. I went over to her and asked her name. I asked if she would like to work
for me. I couldn't afford to pay her much, but she would at least have a nice home, plenty to eat, and a little money to call
her own. Oh, she was just so grateful! I gave her bus fare, told her the address, and sent her off with a house key. My
husband got home from work before I did, and was flabbergasted to see a strange black woman working in the kitchen.
Yes, it was a blessing for all of us.
The Beautiful Gold Dress
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
I bought a wonderful, gold lame dress for a special dinner party in New York City. Oh, such a beautiful gown it
was! It was very tight, with a long skirt and a slit up the side. The dinner party was extravagant, and I felt so beautiful in
the new gown. We ate, danced, and were having a wonderful time. My dress was a hit; I kept receiving compliments on it.
After dancing, we returned to our table for a drink and a brief rest. Oh, it was a wonderful evening! I had the perfect figure
for the dress, and it set off my blonde hair. I got up to dance shortly after and...to my horror...the gold lame dress split all
the way up the back! There was nothing I could do. I couldn't get out of my chair without showing my unclad body to
everyone in the room. Horror of horrors! My husband got my coat and we quietly left, my lovely gown in shreds.
Deadly Combinations
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
When Debby's mother was a baby, she and I were both almost killed. I knew that ammonia and bleach were
both very good for cleaning. Having some heavy cleaning to do, I decided to mix them together, to multiply their power.
When I realized my mistake, I barely had time to grab the baby, who was in a highchair in the kitchen, and get out the back
door before the fumes got us.
Ration Stamps and Liver
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
Following the Second World War, everyone had to use ration stamps to buy everyday items, such as meat,
sugar, clothing and shoes. Since I had a baby who outgrew shoes rather quickly, I sometimes traded my ration stamps with
my mother. She didn't really need shoes often, and I gave her meat or gasoline stamps in trade. Even with stamps, food was
often difficult to come by. Lines were long, and quality was often poor. One day I stood in a line for about three hours,
waiting my turn to buy hamburger. Yes, even hamburger was something of a treat. My turn finally came, and I joyfully
went home with a large package of hamburger. Oh, how I looked forward to real beef! I cooked it for supper, savoring
every minute. When I bit into it, it was not true beef at all; it was mixed with ground liver. Oh, how I hated liver! I couldn't
eat it. All that time and all those precious stamps wasted on liver!

Governor
“ALLEN M. FLETCHER was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. He was educated at the Swedenborgian School in
Waltham, Massachusetts and at Williston Seminary in Easthampton, Massachusetts. In addition to traveling widely in
North and South American and Europe, Fletcher had diverse business interests in Indiana. In 1881 he built a summer home
in Proctorsville, Vermont. In 1899 he moved to New York City, becoming a member of the Stock Exchange. Six years
later he retired to spend time in Vermont, where he had already served in both the state House of Representatives and the
state Senate. He served again in the House and in 1908 was a member of a commission established to recommend changes
in the State Constitution. Although an Independent, he was nominated by the Republican Party for governor in 1912. Since
no candidate won a majority of the vote, the race was decided by the state legislature, which chose Fletcher. Fletcher
appointed the first woman to the state Board of Education. He also sought, but failed, to win approval for the abolition of
capital punishment. After leaving office, he went on to wage an unsuccessful campaign for a seat in the U.S. Senate.”

Fletcher Memorial Library
The Fletcher Memorial Library in Ludlow was named one of Vermont's loveliest libraries, Fletcher Memorial
hides its charms quietly behind a sturdy brick exterior facing the Village Green in Ludlow. Inside comes as a surprise,
complete with vaulted ceilings, which have recently been repainted soft colors and gilded with "Dutch metal." The library
was built in 1901 by Allen Fletcher, who later became a Vermont Governor (the former Castle Inn at the intersection of
Routes 103 and 131 in Proctorsville was built as the family residence by Fletcher in 1905.) Fletcher built the Library to
honor his father, Stoughton Fletcher, born and raised here before going West to make the family fortune. The Library is
built in the later English Renaissance style and in addition to the vaulted ceilings, features a liberal use of marble and
arched windows trimmed in oak.

Panther in Vermont
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
One time when Gramp was a young fellow living on Townsend Hill, he set out to look at some hemlock,
starting up the west branch of the mountain. He found an old log road and had gone about a mile up this mountain road
when he heard an animal holler right close to him. It frightened him so that he stopped and listened for some time, but then
he decided to go on. In about five minutes the cry was repeated, and again he considered turning back. However, he went
on, and after that, every so often, the animal would let out a blood curdling scream.
By now Father knew that it was not much further to the top of the mountain, and if he could ever reach the
summit, he was certain that he could outrun any animal down the hill. He finally reached the summit and ran like the devil,
never stopping until he was out of the woods.
After returning home, by another route, he told the hunters about hearing the animal cry, and how he thought it
was a panther. They laughed at him, but the next morning at an early hour, Lute Hunt and Johnson struck out with guns and
a dog toward Michigan. Sure enough, from the California lot, an old log road ran toward the Taft lot towards Chittenden
Pond and parallel with the old log road Gramp had been following. And here they found the print of a panther's foot, big as
a man's doubled-up fist, and stepped off as far as a horse would. The hunters tracked it way up the mountain.
Blizzard and Freshet
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
Years ago, my father, Moses Townsend, always kept many sheep, and on a beautiful day in early May, 1893,
when there was no such thing as a weather report, telephone, radio or television, he decided it would be a good day to take
a few of the sheep with young lambs out of the sheds. The animals were happy to be out after their long winter stay in the
barns, but within a few seconds, the weather changed abruptly. The sky grew dark and the wind began to howl and whistle,
and of all things, it began to snow. My father could not believe his eyes, he hurriedly hitched the horses to a sled with a
rack on it, and hauled the lambs and sheep back into the barns. And none too soon, the snow was falling thick and fast and
the wind was blowing it into great drifts, it seemed to cover the whole earth. My father then broke the four miles of road to
Tyson (he never said plowed the road, but always broke the road). He fetched the Doctor from Tyson back home with him,
to stay overnight as my mother was pregnant and expecting an addition to the family any day. The storm continued in force
and on the following morning, the weather suddenly changed again. It became so warm and sunny that the snow melted
rapidly, causing a freshet. On May 4, I was born during this historical record breaking blizzard and freshet of 1893.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
My Grandmother Hayes and her daughter, Ellen, were coming down from the Hayes farm, where they lived, to
help take care of the new baby and the other three small children, the oldest being only five years old. The Hayes farm was
at the foot of Saltash Mountain not far from where we lived. There was a small stone bridge two or three feet wide, (I
believe it is still there), crossing the usually small brook at the foot of the hill from our house. When Grandmother and
Ellen arrived, the water had come up so fast, it was waist deep. The current was so strong, my father was afraid they would
all be swept away. He carried Ellen across first, as she was the lightest, and then went back and carried Grandmother to
safety.
The Christmas Box
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
Every Christmas, when we were small, we always received a box from Uncle John. One year, it did not arrive,
much to our disappointment. After work at night, Father would drive to Tyson to get supplies, the mail, and the latest local
news. The men would sit around Hubbard's post office and store. One evening, just after Christmas, Father was sitting on
his favorite seat near the stove. The seat looked somewhat like a keg. Someone asked him what the writing was on the box,
and when he examined it, it was his own name, and our late Christmas box from California.

Cold Water Raising
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
Years ago, on Vermont Farms, when a man wanted to erect the frame of a large building, it was customary to
advertise the fact that he was to have a "raising" at his place at a certain time, and that anyone helping could have all the
free "hard cider" he could drink.
The local minister thought hard drinking sinful, and when he learned that Grandfather was building a big barn,
he prevailed upon him to advertise the event as a "cold water raising."
The day of the raising arrived, and although there were many present, there was not enough manpower to raise
the huge frame.
Gramp said, "Well, Reverend, I've tried this raising the Lord's way, and it doesn't work." The Parson replied,
"All right, advertise it the usual way."
Gramp did, and the barn went up!
Bobcat in the Pantry
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
One morning when the Townsend family were living in the old house (the Pollard place), the back room door
had been left open, Gramp, coming in from the barn, discovered a bobcat eating garbage in the wood shed.
As Father entered, the bobcat ran into the kitchen and Gramp ran after it. From the kitchen the bobcat scooted into the
buttery. Father quickly shut the door, having the bobcat caged for the time being. Father then secured Mother and the baby
in the bedroom.
Then Father set steel traps in the doorways and all through the kitchen and back sheds. He opened the buttery
door, expecting the animal to run out, but not a sound of him was heard. Father could not see anything of the bobcat and
decided it must be hiding in back of the flour barrel. He kicked his foot into the small opening on the side of the barrel to
scare the bobcat out. Father had on a pair of long rubber boots and the bobcat took a chunk right out of his boot, just
grazing his toe. Then the animal dashed out the open door and into the traps.
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher

Father said the bobcat jingled like sleigh bells with all the traps clinging to him when he climbed up the shed
posts, jumping three or four feet, the chains and traps clanging and banging all the while. Father got a big club, and that
was the end of the bobcat episode.

The Legend of Neil Brown
(Told to Deborah K Fletcher by Florence M Brown about 1987.)
Family tradition holds that Neil Brown was an Irish Catholic priest who fell in love with a woman of
his parish. We do not know their Irish names. They decided to marry, but it was forbidden by his priesthood.
They ran away together to Scotland, changing their lives and abandoning their past. Neil Brown, wanting to
continue his service in the ministry, became ordained as a Presbyterian minister. He was your grandfather's
grandfather.

Gramp’s Bear Story
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
We used to love to hear Gramp tell his bear story. It usually began with his not being able to find thirteen of the steer in
the back pasture. So he and Ed Sylvester set out before daylight one day from Townsend Hill over Beaver Meadows
towards Michigan in search of the cattle.
It was late fall, and the first snow had fallen leaving six inches. They had travelled for hours when, as they
looked down from the top of a hill through the hardwood timber, Dad saw two black objects against the white snow; he
called this to Ed's attention. The men walked silently down the snow covered mountain and sure enough, they could make
out two yearling bears, one with its head way in the snow digging for beech nuts; the other was scratching the bark on the
tree. Their backs were towards the men and because the wind was in the men's faces, the bears were unable to pick up their
scent, and they had not heard their approach.
Father grabbed his hat and ran toward the bears, waving his hat in the air, yelling and hollering. The bears shot
up the tree like lightning, having been taken completely by surprise. Gramp yelled and slapped and slashed the tree with his
hat, and the bears at first went round and round the tree. He could just barely hit the hind leg of one of the bears with his
hat. The bears made a sort of a hissing sound as Gramp slapped past them, and he could see their red mouths as they
showed their teeth.
Gramp didn't even have a jack knife with him. He borrowed Ed's and cut down a young moose wood tree, and
with this he went at the bears in earnest, driving them further up the large beech tree. Gramp and Ed then held a
conference. Gramp wanted Ed to go back and get a gun, but Ed didn't want to, and neither did he want to stay, for fear that
the bears would drop down onto him, or that the old mother bear might return, while Gramp went for a gun. Ed also feared
that he might not be able to find his way back over the mountain.
Gramp then insisted on Ed's taking his choice, and with this Ed decided to return for the gun. In trying to take a
short cut, he did get lost, and it was quite late when he reached the Severon farm. He related the story to Mr. Severon, and
Mr. Severon sent his two boys further on to Townsend Hill for the gun. Then the two men took axes and started back to
find Gramp. When the two boys reached the house, they found the gun, but they could not find any bullets. They grabbed
lead pipe and a skillet to run the bullets, and with caps and powder, they started on the run and caught up with Ed and Mr.
Severon.
When they found Gramp again, the bears were way up near the top of the tall beech tree, and they had crawled
out onto big limbs. Their bodies were stretched out so long that they looked all neck as they occasionally peered over the
branch to look down below. Gramp had spent four or five hours alone with the two bears. He said at first they were just out
of reach of the small tree when he slapped and lashed it on the beech tree, but after a while the bears went clear to the top.
Gramp said a man walking through he woods would never have noticed them.
With caps and powder, the men ran the bullets. The lead pipe was cut in two inch chunks with the axe, and they
folded it over, pounded it together and wound the slugs with cloth and rammed it down the barrel. They shot each bear
twice. The bears clung to the branches for what seemed a long time after they were shot, even hanging by one paw before
they fell to the ground. One of the bears made a little sniffing noise as he came down.
The men snaked the bears home. The heaviest one weighed 110 pounds; both were very thin. The bullets had
gone nearly through the animals' bodies, and had lodged in the hide on the other side where the lead bullet was found all
flattened out.
Later Gramp said that while he had been keeping the bears up in the tree, he had heard noises off in the woods,
but at the time he thought it was snow falling from the trees. The next day, some old hunters, Ame Johnson, and Colton
with dogs and guns, went with Gramp back to the place where the bears had been treed and shot; they found nearby tracks
that a large bear had made as it travelled round and round in a big circle! They followed the tracks the bear had made; these
led the men over the mountain toward Chittenden, but they never found the big bear. Gramp received $30 bounty for the
bears.
Bobcat in the Pantry
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
One morning when the Townsend family were living in the old house (the Pollard place), the back room door
had been left open, Gramp, coming in from the barn, discovered a bobcat eating garbage in the wood shed.
48
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
As Father entered, the bobcat ran into the kitchen and Gramp ran after it. From the kitchen the bobcat scooted
into the buttery. Father quickly shut the door, having the bobcat caged for the time being. Father then secured Mother and
the baby in the bedroom.
Then Father set steel traps in the doorways and all through the kitchen and back sheds. He opened the buttery
door, expecting the animal to run out, but not a sound of him was heard. Father could not see anything of the bobcat and
decided it must be hiding in back of the flour barrel. He kicked his foot into the small opening on the side of the barrel to
scare the bobcat out. Father had on a pair of long rubber boots and the bobcat took a chunk right out of his boot, just
grazing his toe. Then the animal dashed out the open door and into the traps.
Father said the bobcat jingled like sleigh bells with all the traps clinging to him when he climbed up the shed
posts, jumping three or four feet, the chains and traps clanging and banging all the while. Father got a big club, and that
was the end of the bobcat episode.
Lightning
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
One Sunday, during the Civil War, when father was a little boy attending church on the Common in Pittsfield,
Vermont, he was profoundly amused by the ingenuity and precision timing of the ladies as they tilted and maneuvered their
huge hoop skirts into the narrow pews. During the service, a terrifying thunder storm suddenly arose; the meeting house
was struck by lightning, and for a brief second, a dazzling flash of light and fire seemed to encircle and play around the
women's skirts. The electric current melted the solder which held the ladies' wire hoops together!
The serenity of the service vanished as the screaming, embarrassed ladies scrambled from the pews and ran
from the church, their hoops dropping, rolling, and clattering as they fled.

Escaping the Potato Famine
(From a collection of stories of recollection that Zoa Townsend left among her papers when she died.)
Mary Boyle was born in Scartaglin, County Kerry, Ireland. Her home was near the city of Tralee. The river
Shannon is a little to the north of Tralee, and the lakes of Killarney are twelve miles south of her home town. She sailed to
America at the age of 24 years, and was three months in the passage. That was during the notorious potato famine. There
were many mishaps during Mary's journey to America. The passengers suffered from ship's fever, and the Captain died and
was buried at sea. The drinking water gave out, and the ship was lost for several days in a fog. Mary lost all her hair during
her bout with the fever, but it grew back as lovely blonde curls.
Mary landed in Boston, Mass., and travelled by rail to Ludlow, Vt.. The railroad stopped at Bellows Falls, Vt.,
so Mary had to complete her trip by stage coach.
“She was born in Connauthi Dawn, Ireland, a little village in County Kerry, a few miles from the beautiful lakes
of Killarney”
Ludlow, 12 May, 1910: "Mrs. Daniel Hayes of Springfield, 87 years old, the mother of Mrs. Moses Townsend
(Mary Jane) of Ludlow, distinctly remembers seeing Hailey's comet 75 years ago. She was living in Ireland at the time."
“They worked on farms as laborers in the vicinity of Ludlow and finally were able to purchase a farm in Plymouth which
they carried on for 50 years.”
“She is a devout Catholic and a regular attendant at the Church of the Blessed Maternity.”

The Irish Baby and the Methodist Baby
(Told to Deborah K. Fletcher by Florence M. Brown about 1987.)
My grandmother, Doctor Parsons, delivered a baby to an Irish family. They moaned about the fact that they
could not feed another mouth. They would have to put it in an orphanage. My grandmother said no. She took the baby
home and raised it as one of her own - raised it in the Catholic faith, never adopted it, but made sure she followed all the
rules of the Catholic church. I grew up to call her aunt.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
She did take one child of her own faith as a baby - as a day old baby. She and her husband went to the
Methodist church and had it baptized with their surname. That was the extent of adoption proceedings in those days. That
child grew up to be my mother.
Curing the Drunkard
(Told to Deborah K. Fletcher by Florence M. Brown about 1987.)
My grandmother, Doctor Parsons, had a lot of funny and interesting stories to tell. One was about a woman who
came to her complaining of her husband's drinking. She invited the husband and wife to an outdoor, small party she was
having. She had prepared herself with knowing how much to take of olive oil - pure olive oil - and, although she was a
Methodist and a non-drinker, she wagered him that she could drink more than he, and if she won, he was to go to the priest
and confess and acknowledge that he would never drink again.
He was a beer drinker, and she did down exactly the same amount that he did. He finally had to go to the
outhouse, and had partaken of so much beer that he staggered there and was unable to get his trousers down. The results are
eminent.
His wife was able to drive him home, but the next morning my grandmother had her horse hooked up and drove
to their home, got he and his wife to accompany her in her carriage, and drove them to the priest's house, where he did
commit himself to staying sober for the rest of his life. Both my grandmother and the priest made sure that he lived up to
that commitment.
The Making of a Doctor
(Told to Deborah K. Fletcher by Florence M. Brown about 1987.)
My grandmother's name was Emma Frances Parsons. That was her married name. Her maiden name was Styles.
She had just graduated from Miss Life Seminary, which in those days was equivalent to graduating from a private girls'
college. She was engaged to be married to W. Solomon Parsons.
Her mother had been dead for a number of years, and she had always hoped that her father would remarry,
preferably the housekeeper or some woman of good standing, only to discover that he had remarried - only he had married
the kitchen help to the cook. I think she showed her displeasure at it.
On returning home one day she found that her stepmother had raided her hope chest and had cut and ripped all
the beautiful things she had stored in it to be used in her coming married life. In a rage, she went downstairs, picked up an
iron skillet, and cracked her stepmother over the head. Thinking she had killed the stepmother, she packed a bag, went to
the bank and drew out the considerable amount of money her mother had left her, and boarded a train.
Her father, other relatives, and her husband-to-be spent three years searching for her, only to find that she had
spent three years at medical school and was interning at Bellevue Hospital in New York.
She was happy to find that she hadn't been accused of murder, was allowed to continue with her internship, and
returned home a doctor at a time when woman doctors were not really accepted. But she did build up a large family
practice. Her husband was very well-to-do, had a thriving business, and she set up a waiting room and an office in their
large home.

Residence for Joseph Malott:
1767, Age: 8, Dorchester County, Maryland, Maryland Census, 1772-1890
“It is known that Joseph was in Madison Co., KY by 1789 because of his marriage to Katherine "Katy" South. A
Samuel South posted bond for the marriage. The marriage took place on 22 April 1789 by Christopher Harris. There are
four known children born of the marriage. Katherine must have died just a few years before 1805 as Joseph married Mary
"Polly" White in March 1805 in Madison Co., KY. Polly was the daughter of Nathan White, b. 1752; d. 5 Aug 1834.
“Joseph Malott was b. l759/1760. His age is not actually known, however, in the 1810 Census of Madison Co., KY
he gives his age as over 45 and in the 1830 Census of Liberty Twp., Clay Co., MO he lists his age as between 70 and 80
thereby making his birth date sometime between 1750-1760.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
“Jefferson, Fayette and Lincoln Counties were formed 1 Nov 1780 while Kentucky was still a county of Virginia.
Lincoln County was the parent county for Madison and Mercer Counties, both formed 1 Aug 1785. More research is
needed in the National Archives of Washington DC for the possibility that Joseph may have been a paid frontiersman or
part of an outfit of the service for the protection of the settlers.”

“By a strange perversion of legal principles, which prevailed among the early settlers of Windham county, it
was supposed that whoever married a widow who was administratrix upon the estate of her deceased husband represented
insolvent, and should thereby possess himself of any property or thing which had been purchased by the deceased husband,
would become an executor de son tort, and would thereby make himself liable to answer for the goods and estate of his
predecessor. To avoid this difficulty, Major Moses Joy, of Putney, who became enamored of Mrs. Hannah Ward, of
Newfane, the widow of William Ward, who died about 1788 leaving an insolvent estate, of which Mrs. Ward was
administratrix, and married her within three months after taking out letters of administration. The marriage too place in the
old Field Mansion on Newfane Hill, February 22d, A.D., 1789, and was solemnized by Rev. Hezekiah Taylor. Mrs. Ward
placed herself in a closet, with a tire-woman, who stripped her of all her clothing, and while in a perfectly nude state, she
thrust her fair, round arm through a diamond hole in the door of the closet, and the gallant major clasped the hand of the
nude and buxom widow, and was married in due form by the jolliest parson in Vermont. At the close of the ceremony, the
tire-woman dressed the bride in a complete wardrobe which the major had provided and caused to be deposited in the
closet at the commencement of the ceremony. She came out elegantly dressed in silk, satin and lace, and there was kissing
all round. Similar marriages took place in Westminster [and Putney].”

Townsend data.
From the notebook of Zoa Fletcher, transcribed 10 Aug 2011, by Debbie Fletcher Barry:
Sept. 4, 1666 his father conveyed 3 acres in Roxbury on Dedham highway and two other larger parcels with house on one.
Conveyance was in consideration of six £ per annum to be paid to Abraham and Susan his wife during life and to survivors
if they stand in need of money. Refers to new house on 16 acre lot -- later burned. Think it same land later deeded by
heirs of Abraham to James Townsend and Alice.

From First settlers of Lancaster.
Thomas Wyellder of Charlestown in 1639 joined church March 30, 1640 in Lancaster & made freeman June 2, 1641.
Supposedly had a son Ebenezer but no trace of him.
July 15, 1659 Petition that Goodman Wilder might be appointed to act as selectman to fill vacancy. Granted & re-elected
for years.
There is a stone of comparative recent setting (of handsome slate) to his memory. There is no proof of where he died or
was buried as this lot was not in use as a yard for more than 30 yrs after his death. Note it does not say "Here lies buried"

From the notebook of Zoa Fletcher, transcribed 26 Aug 2011, by Debbie Fletcher Barry:
Nathaniel had charge of the Garrison at the old trucking house on George Hill -- eight men assigned there. There was a
church and an Inn on this Hill. The later was kept by Wilder with license to "sell beer, ale, cider, rum etc." for 20 years.
Four hundred Indians took part in the 1704 raid of the eastern towns of Mass. It was the culmination of a seven year
spasmodic attack. July 31, 1704 they fell on Lancaster, attacking first George Hill where Lieut. Nathaniel Wilder was
mortally wounded. Reinforcements came promptly and the enemy was finally driven off with heavy losses but not until
the town was burned.
From History of Town of Lancaster by Rev. Ahijah Marvin. He was a lieut. in the Indian wars. His house in Lancaster was
one of 2 garrisons. At the first onset of an attack he was killed while in the yard. In 1686 he relieved Cyprian Stevens who
was licensed to retail wine, beer, aile, cyder, rum ect The Court ordered the town to pay Nathaniel Wilder for the 16 wolves
that he had killed in 1684/5. In 1688 Nathaniel Wilder was paid 40 shillings for killing two wolves and an Indian was paid
10 shillings for killing one wolf. Nathaniel Wilder of Lancaster was perhaps the youngest son of Thomas Wilder of
Charleston Was perhaps the soldier under sentance of death in 1676 who had showed his hatred for some Indians.in the
King Philip;s war. An Indian had surendered and was murdered by Nathaniel Wilder and Daniel Hoar.They were sentanced
to hang but were discharged by the General Court on payment of cost which was 10 lbs each His youth was his excuse He
had been driven to Sudbury by the Indian war in which Lancaster was destroyed. There he and Mary had three children.
then went back to Lancaster where he may have had more children before he was killed by Indians in July 1704. Archive

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
From the notebook of Zoa Fletcher, transcribed 7 Aug 2011, by Debbie Fletcher Barry:
Came to this country about 1660 with oldest brother Thomas and sister Mary.
He, undoubtedly, lived first at Charlestown, but being a minor, his name does not appear on any early tax lists.
Deeds land on Dec 2, 1673 in Dunstable to father-in-law Simon Uieland in exchange for a block house and farm in
Lancaster. Served as Constable and Clerk of the Writs from 1682 to 1686. In the State Archives at Boston are filed letters
written by him. Perhaps the most interesting is dated at Lancaster March 11, 1675-6 and is a petition "to the Hon'r'd
Governor and Counsel of the sore distressed people of Lancaster" for aid after the distruction of the town by King Philip
and his band of Indians on Feb. 10, 1675
After destruction & abandonment of Lancaster he lived at Rumney Marsh (Chelsea) now Revere. After 1693 his wife
apprears on all documents as Ruth.
He must have reached his majority on or before Nov. 13, 1668 when he was on bond for Josep Wheeler of Concord. In a
depo-sition he gives age as 22 years on Apr. 1, 1670.
Was admitted with his wife Ruth to church in 1710. A man of strong personality, outstanding in his comminsty, a man of
education, acting as town clerk for many years.

Anne Hutchinson and John Wheelwright in 1637 along with many members of the Boston Church during the Antinonmian
Controversy. His name was included on Remonstrances in Wheelwright's favor, but was later "erased" when the Court
found him guilty of sedition. Although we do not currently have a copy of this document, it is likely that other persons
eventually from Chelmsford supported Wheelwright.On Apr. 13, 1644, Ezekial was elected as a selectman in Woburn,
whose church was formed in Aug. 14, 1642 (O.S.) with a membership of seven: John Mousall, Edward Converse, Edward
Johnson, William Learned, Ezekial Richardson, and Thomas Richardson. Ezekial died Oct. 21, 1647 in Woburn, MA. He
was about 45 years of age as his children were probably all under the age of 21. Only the baptism records are available. for
the first six children; their exact dates of birth are not known.

Benjamin Butterfield, from whom the American family chiefly derived issue, was at Charlestown, in the Bay
Colony, in 1638. He probably married in England and brought a little family with him. His name appears among the first
town orders of Woburn, and in 1643, he was made a Freedman. In 1645, we find his name on the Woburn tax list. In 1652,
the inhabitants of Woburn petitioned for leave to explore the west side of the Concord river. The report was, "a very
comfortable place to accommodate a company of God's people." In 1653, Benjamin Butterfield headed a petition of
twenty-nine, including the petitioners of the preceding year, for a tract of land six miles square. :to begin at the Merrimack
river, at a neck of land nest to Concord river," to run southerly on Concord river and westerly into the wild country. The
spot was known to the natives as Naamkeek. The Indian apostle, Rev. John Eliot, about the same time received a grant of "
the Great Neck," lying between Pawtucket falls on the Merrimack and the Massic falls on the Concord, as a reserve for the
Christianized Indians. This tract was known as Wamesit. The six mile tract was occupied in 1654 by Butterfield and his
associates, and in 1655 was incorporated as Chelmsford. The line between the Indians and the Whites was run "on the east
side of Butterfield's high way," and was marked by a ditch. On this highway Benjamin Butterfield pitched his farm and
built his house, somewhere within the limits of what is now ward iv., Lowell. In 1656, he is named as one of the citizens of
Chelmsford, to whom the Gov. Dudley farm of 1500 acres in Billerica was conveyed. In 1661 his wife died, and 3 June,
1663, he married, 2d, Hannah, the widow of Thomas Whittemore, of Cambridge. In 1666, Newfields, a tract of 241 acres
of intervale, across Stony brook and extending up the Merrimack, was granted to Chelmsford. Of this, perhaps the best
land in the growing town, Benjamin Butterfield obtained 42 acres, the largest share of any one person. In 1686 the Indian
reservation, Wamesit, was purchased by the whites. Three of Butterfield's sons, Nathaniel, Samuel, and Joseph, were
among the grantees (Mdx. Deeds, x.19). This territory, which had been occupied by Wanalancit and his tribe as a cornfield
and fishing station, is now occupied by the manufactories of Lowell. The purchase included, also, 500 acres upon the north
and east side of the Merrimack, of "Wilderness" land, a general term for the unsettled country outside incorporated limits.
Nathaniel and Samuel Butterfield settled on the Wamesit lands, and Joseph in the wilderness, between Tying's pond and
the river.

Gedeon Merlet was one of many Huguenots who found freedom from religious persecution in Holland during the first half
of the 17th century. Under the promise of lands and aid in getting started in the New World, he with some twenty-nine
other refugees came over to the New Netherlands in October, 1662, on the ship "Purmerland Church." With him were his
wife Marguerite Martin and four minor sons, namely Joshua, born 1647; Paul, born 1654; John, born 1656; and Abraham,
born 1658. Early in the year following his arrival, 1663, Gedeon Merlet, with six other Huguenot immigrants, joined in a
petition to the Director General and the Council of New Netherlands for grants of suitable land, provision for temporary
subsistence, and seed grain so that, as they stated, "the supplicants may exert their industry and zeal without obstruction in
the cultivation of the land, not only for their personal benefit, but also for the welfare and good of the whole country. They
also promised ultimately to fully repay the Council for such advances. This petition, the original of which is now on file in
the state archives at Albany, was approved, and in the instance of Gedeon Merlet resulted in the assignment of land to

he lived the balance of his life, and his children grew to manhood." The fragments of the history of this period which have
come down to us, in addition to records of land purchase and and transfers, indicate that Gedeon Merlet, during the first
British occupancy of New Netherlands, was appointed by Governor Francis Lovelace as a constable in Staten Island (April
20, 1671). A little later, under the very brief re-occupancy of the Colony by the Dutch, he was appointed by Governor
Colve as a magistrate (February 14, 1674). We have no record of his death, which must have occurred prior to 1683, as
indicated by the inheritance and division of his land.

1. Thomas Townsend was granted 60 acres of land with Lord Brook and others by the town of Lynn, in 1638, and he
owned other lands near the iron works and at Rumney Marsh, Chelsea. His town-house and lot of 7 acres was on the south
side the mill street near the common, and next the Mansfield property, and it was sold by his grandson Thomas, son of
Andrew, to Daniel Mansfield, of Lynn, July 25, 1702.
He was made a freeman March 14, 1639, calls himself husbandman in hie well-drawn deeds of gift to his children, and
from his serving the public on more than one occasion, seems to have been an important citizen, and from papers bearing
his name, and his beautiful autograph, now to be seen in the secretary of state's office in Boston, we have sufficient
evidence of his ability. He died in Lynn, Dec. 22, 1677, aged 83, and his wife Mary died of camp-fever, probably at the
house of her son Andrew, Feb. 28, 1692. They had :—
2. i. Thomas, born about 1637.
3. ii. Samuel, b. in Lynn about 1638.
4. iii. John, b. in Lynn about 1640.
5. iv. Andrew, b. in Lynn about 1642.
v. Elizabeth, b. in Lynn about 1644; m. Samuel Mansfield, of Lynn, Dec. 22, 1669.
1 A ma«s of circumstantial evidence to be embodied in a memorial volume when published has satisfied several expert
genealogists and myself that Thomas Townrand son of Henry and Margaret was identical vrith the settler at i.ymi.

A cousin of Governor Winthrop. After his father sold Bracon-Ash in 1599, he lived with his father in Gedding, Suffolk,
until reaching his majority in 1615, when he went to London to live with his uncle Thomas Forthe, son of Robert Forthe
(d.1595). Moved from London to Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1637, aboard the Handmaid.

From the notebook of Zoa Fletcher, transcribed 15 Aug 2011, by Debbie Fletcher Barry:
After several of his children were born he sold his lands and emigrated from Sowerby, Eng. He is supposed to have landed
in Barbadoes, in 1638 but two years later settled in Watertown and in 1643 associated himself with a few others in
purchasing a tract of land from the Indians and settled in what is now Lancaster, Mass. There was some talk of calling the
town Prescott in honor of this persevering settler but finally named after the mother town in England, many of the settlers
coming from that place. He was a black smith and his sons followed in his foot steps.
Took the oath of allegience in 1652 and made freeman in 1669. Family escaped the massacre except for a grand-son. For
seven years after the destruction of Lancaster it is not known where he lived with his family, but he returned after that
period.

SIMON WILLARD (1605 - 1676)
The parish register gives the record of his baptism such: "1605, visth day of April Simon Willarde, sonne of Richard
Willardw was christenede. Edward Alchine, Rector."He married first in England, Mary Sharpe/Ffeylde, baptised October
16, 1614 in Horsemondon, Kent. England. They had ten children. Simon and Mary came from England with Rev. Peter
Bulkeley to New England with his sister Margery and her husband, Captain Dolor Davis. they arrived in Boston about the
middle of May 1634. Simon probably served in the army before coming to America, as he was appointed to drill soldiers
very soon after his arrival, and was called a "Kentish soldier".Simon's second wife is Elizabeth Dunster, daughter of Henry
Dunster of England, and sister of Henry Dunster, president of Harvard College. She died about six months after their
marriage; no children were born of this union.Simon married again to Mary Dunster, baptized December 15, 1630 at the
parish of Bury, Lancashire, England. She was the daughter of Robert and Mary (Gerret/Garrett) Dunster, and cousin or
neice to Elizabeth Dunster. They had ten children. After Simon's death, she married Deacon Joseph Noyes of Sudbury,
Mass.On August 4, 1634, Simon had a grant of land at Cambridge on the west side of the river where he resided a year.
This 100-acre grant included a dwelling house, and adjoined the land of his brother-in-law, Dolard (Dolor) Davis. It was
limited by Boston Bound on the south and the common on the northwest, now the boundarly line between Brighton and
Brookline. In 1635 he sold this property, and was part of a group that founded a new plantation. The General Court gave
Reverend Bulkeley, Simon Willard and about 12 other families a grant of 6 square miles. This "little company of twelve
families led by Simon Willard and Peter Bulkeley marched through the woods until they came to some open meadows
sixteen miles from Boston, and there laid foundation of Concord, home of agreeing men". They bought their lands from the
Indians in 1636, paying for it with clothing, and maintained friendly relations with them for many years. As an engineer,
Simon was instrumental in laying out the six miles square tract which formed the plantation. The people promised to make
a yearly contribution to the "College of Cambridge", now Harvard University. The paper still exists and shows Simon
Willard's signature after that of Peter Bulkeley.Simon was chosen representative at the first election in Concord in 1636; he
was appointed to train the military company. He was a Magistrate, and was a Deputy from 1636-1654. One of his means of
living was that of a fur trader. In 1641 he was made chief of a committee to regulate the fur trade.In 1643 he was made
"Sergeant Major" of Middlesex county, commanding the Middlesex Militia. In 1653 he was chosen major of Middlesex,
and was also a surveyor. In 1654 he was chosen as assistant Judge of the General Court, and a Governor's Assistant from
1654-1676, during which time he had a survey of the boundaries of Massachusetts Colony. He was a Major, and
Commander-in-Chief of the expedition against the Naragansett Indians in 1654-55, and against the Ninigret in 1665, even
though he had been assisting John Elliot in work among the Merrimac Indians. He fought in the Battle of Brookfield, and
commanded the Middlesex, MA regiment in King Philip's War at the age of 70.On August 2, 1675, Simon, who had been
in command of a Middlesex county regiment for 20 years, with Captain Parker of Groton, marched to rescue Brookfield,
Massachusetts, where the Indians were massacring the inhabitants, thence to Hadley, Mass., and did not return to
headquarters at Boston until the last of August. An account of the rescue: "That noon, August 5, the gallant Simon Willard,
a man who had done so much toward building up Concord and Lancaster, that he was known as the "founder of the town",
was on his way from Lancaster to Groton, and at the head of 46 horsemen, where he was overtaken by a courier with the
news from Brookfield. The distance was 30 miles, the road scarcely fit to be called a bridle path, and Willard's years were
more than three score and ten, but by an hour after sunset had galloped into Brookfield and routed the Indians, who fled to
a swamp ten miles distant."In 1659 Simon sold his home in Concord and moved to Lancaster. He had been called to take
charge of the struggling colony there, and he purchased a farm called later "Major Simon Willard's Still River farms in ye
great fenced field". Still River was then part of Lancaster, Mass., and the original part of the Willard homestead was part of
that farm. It came into possession of jis son Henry Willard before 1683. In 1679, one-third of the farm was deeded to
Henry by his father's widow; his father had previously given him the house. Later Henry purchased from his brothers more
land until he owned a large tract. About 1710, Henry's son, Colonel Samuel Willard, received title to the Willard
homestead from his mother. He succeeded in buying his brother's share in the Still River Farm, until he possessed all of his
grandfather's lands in Lancaster. The property was passed from one member of the family to another. The large house was
frequently owned by father and son, or two brothers, or four children.After 12 years the Major moved to Groton and built a
home. During King Philip's War, his place at Groton was burned so his home was unsettled from that time forward. But he
went on in his work doing faithful, valiant service, directing troops and relief expeditions, and bearing all these hardships at
his advanced age with courage and bravery.In the spring of 1676 he was at Charlestown, and was seized with an "epidemic
cold". He died April 24, 1676, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, having just passed his 71st birthday. He was buried in
Groton, Mass. After his death, his children received a grant of land containing one thousand acres in payment of money
due Major Willard from the Indians.--------------------------NOTE FROM LORNA LEFFEL WALTZ, Dec 1998"Our visit
174
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
to Concord was special. It was fun to push back to the time when the New England coast line was wilderness, with small
harbors tucked in the rocks and a forest of trees as tall as the ship masts that they would later become. I imagined how it
must have looked to the first newcomers that descended in 1633-1636. It seems the various branches of our family have
always sought the wilderness. Our ancestor, SIMON WILLARD, was one of the 12 founders of Concord. He travelled
through the wilderness the 16 miles from Boston to buy from the Indians the site for the village of Concord. His farm site is
marked with a large stone marker. In the old Concord cemetery we located the gravestone of Simon's grandson, Josiah
Blood."

Immigration for Edward Colburn:
1635, Age: 17, Arrival, Boston, Massachusetts, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s, p. 169
Taken from Descendants of Edward Colborne Edward immigrated from London, England on October 8, 1635 on board the
'Defense.' Capt. Bostock arrived at Boston, Ocotober 30th. Amongst the passengers, Edward Colborne, whose age is given
as 17 years and Robert Colburn, whose age is given as 28 years. They may have been brothers. No records are found of the
years following his arrival, but allusions are made in legal papers to Edward as being of Ipswich and he is call Nathaniel
Saltonstall's farmer. We can conclude that he was the manager of the estate of Nathaniel Saltonstall, who was a prominent
citizen of the town. In proof of this, we find no record of his owning a farm until, with his family, he moved to Dracut.
Edward purchased the Webb farm which laid on the river in an then unnamed wilderness known as "The Wilderness North
of the Merrimac." Gen. Philip Read, who made a careful study of Dracut history, and who is a descendant of Edward
wrote: Corp. Edward Coburn "He was a soldier in the local Military Co. of Chelmsford during King Philip's War, 1675-77,
was in command of Colbron's Garrison on the east side of the Merrimac as strengthened after the attack upon Chelmsford
by the Indians 25 Feb. 1676 and continued in charge and pay until Nov. 17 1692, perhaps still longer. He was guarding the
ferry 18 March 1675 when the Wamesit Indians killed two of the sons of Samuel Varnum and burned the Corporal's house.
Was in command of local Garrison 23 July 1689 during the first French and Indian or King William's War."As Edward was
the first settler on the north of the Merrimac, it was necessary to provide against the assaults of the Indians. They roamed

through the woods and paddled their canoes on the river, and the lives of the white settlers were of no value to them. He
erected a Garrison House, and with his seven sons, and his sons-in-law, he was able to protect himself from the thieving
bands of Indians, while aid could be summoned in time of danger, when larger bands would be on the warpath. His
Garrison House he left in his will to his son, Joseph, and it is still standing today on Varnum Avenue nearly opposite
Totman Road is the two-story house, which was for many generations the home of the Coburns. It has been known as the
Garrison House for five generations, and the size of the timbers, the low posted rooms, and the style of building, all furnish
evidence of its age.

Thomasine Clopton, sister of the aforesaid William Clopton of Groton.
Ueury Townsend and Margaret Forthe were married 1589-90, and the eaid Margaret was buried at Bracon-Ash, June 23,
1596. They had :—
i. Robert, bapt. June 8, 1591.
ii. Arthub, " Nov. 16, 1593, who died young.
iii. Thomas, " Jan. 8, 1584-5.
¡v. Elizabith.
By his second wife Anne, daughter and one of the heirs of Berthraro Calthorpe, counsellor of the Middle Temple, London,
and of Antringham and Ormsby, со. Norfolk, he had it is supposed no issue, as his will which is quite lengthy speaks of
none by her, and it gives an outline history of the past 25 years of his life, a portion of which he appears to have spent at
Gedding near Edwardston and Groton, со. Suffolk. Family tradition informs us, and we have sufficient evidence from this
will and otherwise to prove that the estates of Henry Townsend were encumbered before the death of his father, and he sold
Bracou-Ash to Sir Edmund Riche
Yol. xxix. 9*
in 1599. In this will, dated Sept. 10,1624, and proved
Aug. 29, 1625, he appoints his well beloved "William Payne, of Nowton, со. Suffolk, gentleman, his executor, and leaves
his now wife Anne an annual anuitj of £40 lawful money, towards her maintenance during her life.
To son Robert £400, to be paid him by sums of £100 a year. To his other son Thomas £300, to be paid him in sums of £50
a year ; and to his daughter Elizabeth £300, to be paid her in sums of £50 a year. He leaves numerous bequests to others,
and the residue of all his goods, chattels, ready money and debts of whatever kind and nature they be, he wholly and freely
gives to his executor towards his charges, and for bringing his body decently to the earth. This Henry Townsend or
Townshend, for we find his name spelt in both ways, was buried at Gedding, со. Suffolk, Aug. 22, 1625, and the original
copy of his will was delivered to his executor, Aug. 5, 1626.
His third son Thomas was born at Bracon-Ash, and after the sale of the Norfolk estates he resided at Gedding, со. Suffolk,
until his majority, when he moved to the neighborhood of London, where his uncle Thomas Forthe resided, who was son
and heir of Robert Forthe, D.C.L. and LL.D., deceased, whose funeral was solemnized at St. Gregory's Church, near St.
Paul's, with heraldic ceremonies, Oct. 13,1595 ; he having died the 3d of the same, seized of the manor of Levehurst in
Lambert, and of Palmer alias Tyleburst in Croyden, both near Southwark, со. Surry. Tradition ami family records inform
us that Thomas Townsend came from London, and settled at Lynn, in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, about 1635, and as
John Winthrop, his cousin, was governor of this colony, it is probable that his puritanical inclination caused him to select a
home in New-England where many of his kinsmen and neighbors had emigrated a few years before.1 His wife was Mary,
probably a sister of John Newgate or Newdigate, a merchant of Boston, who was born in Southwark, near London bridge,
in 1590, and who in his will dated May 8, 1665, calls him brother-in-law, and leaves him a legacy of £10, to be paid him
within one year after hie decease.
He had 4 children by his first wife, & apparently none by his second wife. His first wife was a cousin of John Winthrop,
Governor of New England. His estates were encumbered before the death of his father, and he had to sell Bracon-Ash to
Sir Edmund Riche in l599. He then moved to Gedding, Suffolk, where he lived on the charity of friends and relatives.
Tradition says that this gentleman was defrauded of the proceeds from the sale of his substantial property. He was buried at
Gedding, Suffolk, England.

Immigration for Martha Higgs:
1638, Age: 48, Arrival, Massachusetts, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s, p. 197.
(IV) Thomas, son of John (2) and Al1ce (Keats) Wilder, was born and died at Shiplake, on the property which came from
his father. Berry, in his "Pedigrees," says that Thomas succeeded John at his father's death, and that his heir apparent was
his son John of Nunhide, who was living in 1681, and probably died in 1688. Martha Wilder left Shiplake in May, 1638,
for the colonies. One strong presumption is that Martha was the widow of Thomas, who died in 1634, and that Thomas, of
Charlestown, was the son of Martha and the brother of Edward; it follows that they had an older brother, John, who was the
heir of Thomas, and that all the five who had emigrated were his children; and until this is shown by proper evidence to be

incorrect, we shall assume that they were all of one family. Thus the children of Thomas and Martha Wilder seem to be:
John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Edward and Mary.
Kim Peters originally submitted this to Peters, Henry, Kennedy, Collins, Weniger & Beyond on 29 Dec 2008,

Thomas Wilder* Born: 1584, Shiplake, Oxfordshire, , England* Marriage: Martha Higgs Jan 1619* Died: 23 Oct 1634,
Shiplake, Oxfordshire, , England He is referred to as "...of Charlestown". It is believed he moved to Lancaster, MA. in
1648.Thomas Wilder, 11113,(1), of Shiplake, Oxon, son of John Wilder, 1111, see page 4-8, and Margaret, proprietor of
the Sulham estate in Berks Co., England. ( 5 miles NW Reading, population 72 ). The Sulham Estate Grounds contain the
Episcopal Church, (Church of England), where there are many memorials to the Wilder family. There is an extensive list of
marble tablets and markers in the walls, floor and grounds. The church was built by the Wilders, the Rectors coming
generally from the Wilder family also proprietors of the Sulham Estate in Berks, England. Thomas Wilder who married
Martha and is, through his widow and their children, Thomas, Edward, Mary and Elizabeth, the head of the American line
of the Wilders. From the book, “English Origins of New England Families", by Gary Boyd Roberts, it reads as follows;
"On the Thames, four and a half miles North East of Reading, is Shiplake, whence came the widow Martha Wilder and her
daughter Mary, to join other children in New England”. Thomas Wilder of Shiplake, married Martha (last name unknown),
Neither Rev. Moses Hale Wilder, Justin E. Wilder nor Dr. Edwin Milton Wilder were aware of Martha's maiden name. The
family name "Higgs" for Martha has been advanced in the past, especially in tabulations of early Mormons, plus others.
More recently, in 1984, Grenice Disher hired a professional genealogist in London, England to investigate the origins of
Martha with specific instructions to look for evidence linking her to the Higgs family. After some ten months of extensive
research, it was concluded Martha's maiden name of Higgs could not be confirmed. Colleen Nielson, a Wilder descendant
and careful researcher, quotes Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, page 373, and the History of Hingham, Massachusetts,
LDS Family History Library, book 974.48/H1 V2h Vol. 2, and the LDS Archival Record as her sources to support her
acceptance of Martha's maiden name as Higgs.
Thomas Wilder of Shiplake died in 1634. This community is on the west bank of the Thames, three miles from Henley,
Oxfordshire. H. E. Wells-Furby of Shiplake College wrote Justin Wilder that the Plowden family owned the only
substantial property there from 1560 until 1689. Rev. Wilder must have confused Shiplake with Nunhide when he wrote
that the heirs from the son of Nicholas until 1777 were born at Shiplake. He also confused this man with his uncle, Thomas
of Sulham. The residence at Shiplake must have been a small one, or if his wife was related to the Plowdens it may have
been at Shiplake Court.
Justin Wilder, in his book, listed these early ancestors as shown in the records obtained by Col. Wilder and confirmed by
information sent by the latest Sulham heirs from their family records. However, the Bodleian Library at Oxford, England
has the will of Thomas Wilder of Shiplake, Oxon, Yeoman dated January 19, 1618 which mentions his sons Isaac, Mathew
and Abraham, his daughters Elizabeth and Marie, his brother Richard, his sisters Alice and Elizabeth and his wife Martha.
They also have court rolls showing that he received several small pieces of property as a fine in 1613 and deeds showing
that his widow sold part of his lands on July 7, 1620 "under the provisions of her late husband's will." This may have been
another family in the same community.
Berry, in his "Pedigrees," says that Thomas succeeded John at his father's death, and that his heir apparent was his son of
Nunhide, who was living in 1681, and probably died in 1688. Martha Wilder left Shiplake in May, 1638, for the colonies.
One strong presumption is that Martha was the widow of Thomas, who died in 1634, and that Thomas, of Charlestown,
was the son of Martha and the brother of Edward: it follows that they had an older brother, John, who was the heir of
Thomas, and that all five who had emigrated were his children: and until this is shown by proper evidence to be incorrect,
we shall assume that they were all of one family. Thus the children of Thomas and Martha seem to be: John, Thomas,
Elizabeth, Edward and Mary. Book of the Wilders Thomas married Martha Higgs, daughter of Griffin Higgs and Sarah
Payne, in Jan 1619. (Martha Higgs was born in 1592 in Shiplake, Oxfordshire, , England and died on 20 Apr 1652 in
Hingham, , MA.)

In 1635 Thomas sailed from Gravesend, England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the ship "Constance". He was a
contractor, master builder and architect and built the Boston Town House 1640 [1657?] in the market place of Boston from
his design (it once held the arsenal, Court House and Town Hall of Boston). A supporter of Dr. Robert Child's petition for
extension of the right of suffrage, he was arrested in 1646 for helping to get signers to petition for enlarged franchise and
for questioning the Court's authority in arresting him. About 1646/47 he removed to Hingham, MA. Owned Tide-Mill and
other property by 1650. He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, 1658. Admitted a freeman of
the Colony in 1665. Bought land from the Indians 1668.

The name Joy is what we call a "place name" and comes from a section in northern France called Jouy. In the early days
when people began to use surnames, some distinguished themselves by using the name of the place where they lived, and
thus Jouy became a family name. It was later taken to England and Ireland by the Normans and, although it appears spelled
many different way, it came to America in 1635 as Joy. That year Thomas Joy (1) – and we will call him Thomas one –
said to be the progenitor of all New England Joys, sailed from Gravesend England for Virginia on the ship Constance.
From Virginia he made his way to Massachusetts, Boston where he arrived soon after that town's settlement. There he
married Joan Gallop in 1637 and became the owner of considerable property. He was an architect and builder by profession

and constructed houses, wharves, bridges and warehouses at Boston, and was most successful. But he was a man of great
independence and seems to have gotten into trouble with the authorities thereby. Only church members could vote at that
time in Boston and apparently Thomas Joy was not a member of the church, so was not eligible to vote. He voiced his
opinions of these narrow minded restrictions and finally found himself in irons for his non-conformity. When released he
moved to Hingham around 1646, brought land there, built a grist and saw mill and a bridge and other buildings and stayed
there until Boston's views became more liberal. By 1656 he had resumed his social and business relations with Boston in
1657 he was commissioned to built the first town house there. This was said to be the most ambitious architectural
undertaking in New England at that time and was made possible by a legacy from Capt. Robert Keanye, augmented by
popular subscriptions. The contract called for a very substantial and comely building 61 ft. in length and 36 ft. in breadth.
Thomas Joy completed it in 1658 on a site at the head of the present State Street near his property. (There is still a Joy
Street in Boston, which runs off of Beacon Street close by the present state house, which was named for this Thomas Joy
and which marks the location of his Boston property. - Gladys W. Brayton
The passenger list of the "Constance," Clement Campton, Master, sailing from Gravesend, Eng for Va 24 Oct 1635
includes the name Thomas Joy, aet 22. Several forms of the name, Joye, Jay, Jaye, Gee, were common in Co. Norfolk, Eng
& are found in Boston records.
The earliest mention of Thomas Joy, emigrant ancestor of most of the Joys in America, is in records of the Town of
Boston, in New England, when "on the 20th of the 12th moneth, called February, 1636" (1637, N.S.) leave was given
Thomas Joy to "Buy a peece of ground of our brother Robert Turner, and to have it upon the usuall Condition of
inoffensive Carryage."
Thomas Joy was a house carpenter, builder, millwright and Architect, lucrative employments in a new country. (Hist of
New Eng Palfrey I 383)
Joan Gallop who m Thomas1 Joy 1637, was the daughter of prominent citizen Capt. John & Christabel Gallop of Boston.
The Gallops trace descent from one John "Gollop," who came from the north of England in 1645 and settled in Dorsetshire.
(Gen Hist of Gallup Fam in US John D Gallup Agawam Mass 1893)
Capt. John Gallop m Bridport Eng (St Mary's ch) 19 Jan 1617 Christabel Bruchett.
Capt. John came over in the "Mary & John" 1630. A skillful pilot and Indian trader, his services were accounted of great
value to the colony. His wife and daughter remained in England, apparently for the dread of the perils of the sea. July 4
1632 Gov Winthrop wrote Rev John White, Puritan rector of Trinity Church Dorchester Eng:
"I have much difficultye to keepe John Gallop here by reason of his wife will not come. I marvayle at the woman's
weaknesse. I pray persuade and further her coming by all means. If she will come let her have the remainder of his wages;
if not let it be bestowed to bring his children, for so he desired. It would be about £40 losse to him to come for her.
Your assured in the Lord's worke,J Winthrop"
Mr. White's persuasion seems to have conquered goodwife Gallop's qualms for in June 1634 Christabel Gallop was
enrolled as a member of the First Church Boston to which her husband belonged. It is believed his family came in the
"Griffin," Sept. 1633, which also brought two Puritan divines, John Cotton and Thomas Hooker, and which Gallop himself
piloted to her anchorage.
John Gallop's lands included a house & lot in the most desirable part of Boston with harbor islands, one which still bears
his name (Gallops Island in the Quincy Bay Islands Cluster, which currently (2001) contains the Immigration Station and
Maritime Radio School (Rain) - ferry available from George's and Lovell's Islands - information from
http://www.bostonislands.org). His trading shallop was the principal means of communication between the Bay Colony &
the settlements on Narragansett Bay & Long Island Sound. On one occasion when the little vessel, anxiously awaited, was
at length sighted, Roger Williams is said to have exclaimed, "God be praised John Gallop has arrived!"
A man of dauntless courage, in July 1636 John Gallop attacked the murderers of his friend John Oldham, off Block Island.
With the help of his two young sons and one other man he dispatched or captured fourteen Indians. He served in the fierce
campaign which grew out of this incident.
His son John who married Hannah Lake, niece of the younger Winthrop, a man of his father's mettle, was one of the six
Captains slain in the Great Swamp Fight in the Narragansett country, 1675. John Gallop, Sr d 11 Jan 1650, his wife
Christabel on the "27-7 mo 1655."
Will of John Gallop, dated 20th of the 10th month, 1648:
"To sonne John Gallop my new shallop after my death, to my daughter Joane my heaffer … My two youngest sons shall
employ my barcke the first year after my decease wholly for their mother, & after one year to have two thirds for
themselves and one third for theire mother, & to repair & maintain the barcke themselves, looking for no help from theire
mother, only she shall have the third of profitt; also my wife shall have the use of howses, lands & goods, for hir
comfortable maintenance so long as shee shall live; after hir decease it shall wholly remayne & be equally divided to my
two youngest sonnes Samuel & Nathaniel Gallop, if they carry themselves as obedient children to theire mother; but if they
be rebellious then shee shall have liberty to dispose of all as shee shall think Good; & if one sonne die before the other then
all to remayne to the other; if both dye before theire mother then my wife shall dispose of all as shee shall thinke Goode.

I doe give to John Joy, my daughter's sonne £5 to be paid to him at 21 years of age & if he dye before it shall remain to his
brother Joseph. I doe give forth shillings to the building of the new meeting howse… Thus desiring to leave my wife &
children & all, unto the wise disposing Providence of Almighty God, desiring his blessing upon them & craving favor of
his love to their souls in the Lord Jesus Christ."
<John Gallop's Signature Here>
John Gallop Sr signed his will with a mark. An eminent antiquarian unthinkingly alluded to him as "Possessing less
education than most of our early inhabitants." (NEHGR III 227; Winthrop's Journal I 97). Yet on a paper, existing in 1853,
relating to the location of the meetinghouse, dated 10 Dec 1639, Gallop's signature is found with a "Considerable number
of those of the inhabitants of the town." The above shows it to be an excellent specimen of the chirography of that day.
(Drake Hist of Boston 243.)

& five napkins, with halfe my waring clothes. All these do I give to my daughter Joane Joy." (NE Hist Gen Reg V 444)
The Book of Possessions, that list of early Boston lands & landowners, which Bostonians are fond of calling their
"Doomsday Book," describes two lots belonging to Thomas Joy. From the town records, maps and deeds his holdings &
transfers of real estate appear to have been considerable. He was early the owner of three tracts of land on the east side of
the peninsula.
The Book of Possessions was intended to be an official record of all lands in the town, with description & ownership, as a
base for future conveyance. It was compiled sometime between 1640-50, twice extended to 1652 & 1657.
The plan of the portions of Boston showing the two lots of Thomas Joy, was furnished by J. C. J. Brown, Esq. One lot by
the waterside, a "meerstead" had his dwelling, near that of his father-in-law John Gallop. These "cove lots" were accounted
the most desirable business locations in town. Here was the "Great Cove," to the right of which was Bendall's or the Town
Dock, the principal landing place for vessels & the center of the town's merchandising.
Dr Shurtleff, "Topographical & Historical Description of Boston" 383, states these "cove lots" were granted to the
"principal men of the town" & lists eighteen owners in the order of their possession, beginning at the north. Thomas Joy is
the second name, John Gallop is sixth.
On Thomas Joy's half acre by the sea were two houses, both of which he doubtless built & dwelt in one. His acre farther
inland became in after the years the "court end" or social center of the town. The mansions of Gov. Hutchinson & Sir
Charles Henry Frankland & the home of Paul Revere were built there. The meetinghouse of Cotton & Increase Mather
bordered on it. (Mem. Hist of Boston, Justin Winsor Ed II 10 11.)
A third plot, perhaps the most valuable of all, was in Bendall's Cove not far from & perhaps including the sites of Faneuil
Hall & the "old feather store." This lot which Thomas Joy deeded to Bozoan Allen 1647 (with the new house upon it & its
wharf) is not given as belonging to Joy in the Book of Possessions & does not appear on the plan.
At a town meeting 1642 "there is liberty granted Thomas Joy, carpenter, to set up an howse over his sellar by the waterside
in the common way by his dwelling howse in the milfield, leaving, & from time to time keeping open, a passage of 6 foot
in breadth between howse & howse." (2nd report of Record Commissioners of Boston, 1634-60, 71 81 84.)
Perhaps he was slow in acting on this permission, for in 1644 he was ordered under penalty, to make a safe passage "over
his sellar in the high way, by the waterside, in the milfield." But soon, because of his continued neglect of the town's order,
the Constables were "appointed to require & receive of Thomas Joy, or to levy by distresse upon his goods 20s for the
towne's Use."
In 1665 (7th Report of Record Commissioners of Boston 1660-170, 26) "It is ordered that Thomas Joy In Consideration of
a piece of ground butting vpon the new metting house to the North as his fence now stands, is freed from all raites during
his & wife's naturall life & 40s in silver besides.:
In 1676 (ibid 106) it being desirable to widen the streets in the north part of the town which had recently been swept by
fire, "ye Selectmen" made the "ensuinge direction":
"That the west side of the streete from Maj. Thos. Clarke's bricke wall run to a stake neere the corner of Thos Joy's land in
that lane wch leads to the place of ye Meetinghouse & from that stake along the sd west side of the way as now staked out
to the corner of Edmund Mountfort's foundation, on ye same side of ye way. And from the corner of Mr. Humphrey
Warren's house on the East side of the way to a stake in the land of Danl Turine Junr over against yt at Thomas Joy's
corner, where the streete is to be 22 foote in breadth & soe all alonge the streete to Edmond Mountfort's on the East & soe
to the corner of Peter Gee's (Joy?) house, as now staked out."
On this occasion Thomas Joy had some just cause of difference with the Selectmen "relateinge to satisfaction yt he
required for inlarginge the streete where his houses were laid wast by fire.: (Ibid 112) The referees, 2 men of Hingham & 3
of Boston, to whom the dispute was committed found:
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher

"That the said Selectmen in the behalfe of the Towne of Bostone shall pay to Tho Joy or his order 50s in contrie pay vpon
demad & 20s 1d in current money within one moneth after the date thereof, that the said Joy shall acquit & release to them
his right & proprietie to the land now layd out for a high way for ye use of ye Towne, which is 22 foot in breadth betweene
his land & the land of Danl Turill (Turine) on ye other side of ye way.:
Until 1646 Thomas Joy's life in New England was that of a successful man. His increasing possessions bear witness to his
prosperity in business. He was happily married, 4 sons gladdened his fatherly heart. But at this juncture his spirit of
independence brought him into violent collision with the established authorities of the colony, with results painful to his
person & hazardous to his fortunes.
The political agitation in which Thomas Joy became involved was the famous "Dr. Child's Memorial," so named from the
prominence of Dr. Robert Child in its orgination & support. It was a protest against certain illiberal customs of the period
& particularly against the narrow policy of the Colonial government which since 1631 had restricted the right of suffrage to
the members of the local Puritan churches … thus excluding more than three fourths of the adult male population from any
participation in public affairs. (Pilgrim Republic, J A Goodwin 415; Puritan Age in Mass G E Ellis 203; Hist of New Eng
Palfrey III 41, note 3, 135; Mem Hist of Boston Winsor ed I 196 note 1.)
THE CHILD REMONSTRANCE AND PETITION
(From the reprint in the Hutchinson Collection of Original Papers, 188-96):
"To the Worshipful the Governor, the Deputy Governor, & the rest of the Assistants of the Massachusetts Bay in New
England, together with the Deputyes of the General Court now assembled in Boston:
The Remonstrance & humble Petition of us whose names are underwritten, in behalfe of ourselves & divers others within
the jurisdiction, humbly sheweth,
That we cannot but with all thankfulness, acknowledge your indefatigable paines, continuall care & constant vigilancy,
which, by the blessing of the Almighty, hath procured unto this wilderness the much desired fruits of peace & plenty:
While our native land, yea the Christian world, is sharply afflicted with the devouring sword & the sad consequents of
intestine wars.
And further, that you whom the Lord hath placed at the helme of these plantations & endowed with eminent gifts fitt for
such honourable callings, are best able to foresee the clouds which hang over our heads, the storms & tempests which
threaten this poor handful here planted & timously to amend them. Notwithstanding, those who are under decks, being at
present unfit for higher employments, may perceive those leaks which will inevitably sink this weake & ill compacted
vessell, if not by your wisdoms opportunely prevented.
We who, in behalf of ourselves & divers of our countrymen, laying our hands upon our breasts & seriously considering that
the had of our good God, who through his goodnesse hath safely brought us & ours through the great ocean & planted us
here, seems not now to be with us, yea rather against us, blasting all our designs, though contrived with much deliberation,
undertaken with great care, & proceeding with more than ordinary probability of successful events, by which many of good
estates are brought to the brink of extreme poverty, yea at this time laying his just hand upon our familyes, taking many
away to himself, striking others with unwonted malignant sicknesses, & with some shameful diseases, have thought it
convenient with all respectivenesse to present these our sincere requests & remonstrances to this honored court, hoping we
have found those speciall leaks, which concurring with many & great sins of this place (which our consciences know & our
brethren of England are not ignorant of) are the speciall causes of the Lord's turning his face from us, leaving us to
ourselves & consequently to strife, contention, unfaithfulnesse, idleness & of lamentable faylings, not blessing us in any of
our endeavors, so as to give us any great hopes of staple commodities & consequently of comfortable subsistance, though
we, to the utmost of our power these many years, even to the exhausting of our estates & spirits, have endeavored the
same; but contrariwise, all things grow worse & worse, even to the threatening (in our apprehensions) of no less than finall
ruine; not doubting but that you will receive them with the same candour of mind which we, not ayming at novelty or
disturbance, but at the glory of God, our allegiance to the state of England, & good of these poor plantations (if our hearts
deceive us not) present them unto you, though for want of skill & other necessary helpe roughly drawne up; & hope that
you will be more diligent in amending than we in searching out the causes of these our present calamities, etc. Not to
trouble you who are employed in the most serious affairs of these plantations with many words, we briefly referre them to
these heads, etc.
1. Whereas this place hath been planted by the incouragement, next under God, of letters patents given & granted by His
Majesty of England to the inhabitants thereof, with many privileges & immunities, viz. Incorporation into a company,
liberty of choosing governors, settling government, making lawes not repugnant to the lawes of England, power of
administring the oath of allegiance to all &c., as by the said letters patents more largely appeareth. Notwithstanding we can
not, according to our judgments, discerne a setled forme of government according to the lawes of England, which may
seem strange to our countryment, yea to the whole world, especially considering we are all English. Neither do we so
understand & preceyve our owne lawes or libertyes, or any body of lawes here so established, as that thereby there may be
a sure & comforatble enjoyment of our lives, libertyes & estates, according to our due & naturall rights, as freeborne
subjects of the English nation. By which, many inconveniences flow into plantations, viz. jealousies of introducing
arbitrary government, which many are prone to beleeve, construing the procrastination of such setled lawes to proceed
from an overgreedy spirit of arbitrary power, (which it may be is their weaknes) such proceedings being detestable to our
English nation & to all good men, & at present a cheife cause of the intestine war in our deare country:
216
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Further, it gives cause to many to thinke themselves hardly dealt with, others too much favored, & the scale of justice too
much bowed & unequally balanced: From whence also proceedeth feares & jealousies of illegal commitments, unjust
imprisonments, taxes, rates, customes, levyes of ungrounded & undoing assessments, unjustifiable presses, undue bynes,
unmeasurable expenses & charges, of unconceyvable dangers through a negative or destructive vote unduly placed, & not
well regulated, in a word, of a non certainty of all things we enjoy, whether lives, liberties or estates: & also of undue
oaths, being subject to exposition, according to the will of him or them that gives them, & not according to a due &
unbowed rule of law, which is the true interpreter of all oathes to all me, whether judge or judged.
Wherefore our humble desire & request is, that you would be pleased to consider of our present condition & upon what
foundation we stand & unanimously concurr to establish the fundamental & wholesome laws of our native country & such
others as are no wayes repugnant to them, unto which all of us are most accustomed; & we suppose them best agreeable to
our English tempers, & yourselves obliged thereunto by the generall charter & your oathe of allegiance. Neither can we
tell, whether the Lord hath blessed many in these parts with such eminent politicall gifts, so as to contrive better lawes &
customes than the wisest of our nation have with great consideration composed & by many hundred years experience have
found most equal & just; which have procured to the nation & renowne amongst strangers & long peace & tranquility
amongst themselves. And for the more strict & due observation & execution of the said lawes by all the ministers of
justice. That there may be a setled rule for them to walke by in all cases of judicature, from which if they swerve there may
be some power setled, according to the lawes of England, that may call them to account for their delinquencies, which may
be a good meanes to prevent divers unnecessary appeales into England.

Thomas Townsend married for 2d wife, 1581-2, Anne daughter of Henry D'Oyly, Esq., of Pond-Hall, Hadleigh, со.
Suffolk, and of Shottisham, Norwich, со. Norfolk. By this lady, who was many years his junior, he had several children,
and all died young except Alice, baptized May 12, 1583, »nd Mary, baptized Nov. 7, 1588, living unmarried 1624. In 1585
his father-in-law Henry D'Oyly levied a fine of Pond-Hall, Suffolk, and Shottisham, Norfolk, and all other of his estate to
him in trust for the benefit of his D'Oyly children. He is often spoken of in connection with his own and the D'Oyly estates,
and seems to have been quite a man of business, leading the life of a country esquire.
His daughter Alice married Ambrose Clyve, Esq., of Styche in Shropshire, and by him was progenitrix of the Lord Clive
and Earl Powis. He died at Bracon-Ash, and was buried June 12, 1591, and a special livery dated Westminster, Nov. 25, of
the same year, Henry Townsend, Esq., at that time 23 years of age, was proved his son and heir. After the decease of
Thomas Townsend, his wife Anne D'Oyly married a Mr. Wilmott, of Staffordshire. She survived him also, and wedded
thirdly, in or before 1597, Sir Robert Needham, of Shenton, со. Salop, knt., who in 1625 was created viscount Kilmorey in
the kingdom of Ireland.

Sir Robert Townshend's eldest son Thomas inherited most of his father's properties and resided at Mergate Hall at
Braconash in Norfolk. He was a man of great wealth and possessions and kept considerable state at Mergate Hall, a house
of some pretensions, indeed Queen Elizabeth dined with Thomas and his wife there in July 1578. Thomas' wife was
Elizabeth, the widow of Sir Humphrey Style, and although he conformed to the reformed religion she refused to do so and
remained a catholic. This refusal to conform prompted the Bishop of Norwich to write to Thomas in 1571 in the following
terms:
"Dated at Ludham, this 12th day of February 1571.To Mr Townshend of Braconash.
After my hearty commendation, I have been often advised that you and My Lady, your wife, do absent yourselves from
Church, and hearing the divine service, and the receiving the sacrament. I have still hoped that my favourite forbearing,
together with your duties in this behalf, would have moved you to have conformed yourself, and yet I hear, and thank God
for it, that for your own part you come on very well, and shall by God's grace increase daily.
But touching My Lady, I hear that she is wilfully bent, and little hopes as yet, for her reformation, to the displeasure of
Almighty God, the breach of Her Majesty's laws, and my danger and peril to suffer so long, and an evil example and
encouragement to others. And because I am sharply called upon by some in authority to see the speedy reformation of such
abuses either else to certify such disobedience that it may be reformed elsewhere, I have thought good at this time by my
friendly letters to admonish you and you wife, that for her own part chiefly she may be more diligent henceforth to the
Church, to hear the words of God, to receive the sacrament according to the richest institution of the Gospel of Christ to her
comfort, as she hath done before hand time, as I have heard, in the time of King Edward and since the days of Queen Mary
in popery and blindness, when that sacrament was abused, and yet the half thereof taken away from the people and when
prayers were made in strange tongues, neither edifying to the hearer nor to the utterer for the most part. St. Augustine saith,
"Set apart the understanding of the mind tho man hath fruit or profit of the things he perceiveth not" and again, "What
profit is there in speech, be it never so perfect, if the understanding of the hearer can not attain it". St. John saith "This is
the condemnation of the World", that " Light has come into the World, and men love darkness more than light." I could use
many authorities, but it would be tedious. The fault is great in a subject to disobey the law established, and to give
examples of disobedience to others in keeping a form of honouring God to his dishonour under a vain colour of zeal, but
contrary to knowledge.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
My duty and place of calling, together with my conscience Godward, cannot suffer me to know such disorder, and to suffer
the same any longer, and, therefore, I desire you both from henceforth to frequent the Church and receive the sacrament, as
becometh Christians, as I may be certified forthwith, both of the one and of the other, which I look for, otherwise this is
most assured, I will not fail to complain of you both to Her Majesty's Council, wherewith neither of you shall have just
cause to be offended, since you are so friendly admonished of your faults and have so long a time to amend.
And thus I bid you heartily farewell. John, Bishop of Norwich."
Thomas Townshend had several children and died in June 1591. One of his daughters married Ambrose Clive, and was the
ancestor in the sixth generation of Robert, Lord Clive of India, who established the British Empire in India. His only
surviving son, Henry, lived at Gedding in Suffolk and died in 1625. Henry Townshend's son, Thomas, settled at Lynn in
the Massachusetts Bay Colony in North America in 1636 and died there in 1677. His descendants are prolific and are now
scattered all over the United States.

He was the eldest son of Sir Robert. In l558 he was presented the advowson of the church of Twyford, and in l568 he
passed this manor to Rowland Hayward. He was lord of the manors of Hethill, Pennes, Stanfield Hall, Carlton Curson,
Carlton Peveral & held interest in other manors and the advowson of the church of Bracon-Ash. He acknowledged the
receipt of the Herring Pyes of the sheriff of Norwich, Sept. 4, l576, and the year following Het-Hill-Green was divided
between him and that city. On Aug. l6, l578, he entertained Queen Elizabeth at Bracon-Ash Hall, where she dined while on
her progress through Norfolk to Norwich, and the Lady Elizabeth Style his wife was afterwards the recipient of a beautiful

History shows that most of the Townshends were zealous Protestants, beginning with Sir Roger as well as loyalists from
the dawn of the Reformation. (Queen Elizabeth reinstated the religious edicts of her father, Henry VIII, who had broken
away from the Roman Catholic Church to declare himself head of the Church of England. This was the origin of
Episcopalianism.) However, there is reason to believe that the grandfather of our number-one ancestor, Thomas, was a
Catholic recusant, refusing to attend services of the Church of England. This was a statutory offense from l570 until l79l.
The bishop in the diocese of Norwich in the year l57l chastised Mr. Thomas Townsend and his wife, Lady Styles. Thomas
soon got back in line and attended the established church, but not so his wife. She remained obdurate in spite of the harsh
measures taken against Roman Catholics under Queen Elizabeth. Their chastisement came several years before they
entertained Queen Elizabeth in their home, so the family was not entirely in disfavor. But probably Lady Styles's Popish
inclinations cost her husband knighthood, for many of his neighbors were kneeling before the Queen to arise as "Sir". The
family estates became encumbered with debts because of the necessity to pay fines to the Crown for said recusancy, and
the family became considerably reduced in fortune.

m. Martha Higgs, Jan 1619 (b. 1590 in Shiplake, Oxfordshire, England, d. 20
Apr 1652 in Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts)
John (2), son of John (1) and Agnes Wilder, married Alice Keats, daughter and heiress of Thomas Keats, Esq., of the
Sulham House, by whom he had four sons : John, Nicholas, William and Thomas, and three daughters : Eleanor, Joan and
Alice. Thus far we have no dates of births and deaths. In 1582 John gave by deed of entail the Sulham House, of which his
wife was heir, to William, their third son, probably as a part of an arrangement by which Thomas, the fourth son, was to
become the proprietor of the entailed estate. By the will of John, made in October, 1588, and proved by his widow Alice,
his executors, the following November, John and Thomas were both provided for, and a deed of conveyance was also made
to Thomas. We do not know by what power the third son came to be made heir instead of the eldest, yet it was done in this
case, and the family residence, Shiplake, which was not a part of the entailed estate, was probably conveyed by deed to
Thomas, and thus made to continue as the family residence. Copied from: Genealogical and Family History of the State of

Having enlarged on the orthography of this ancient family name, we turn erar attention to the line of Robert
Townshend, second son of Sir Roger, by wife Anne de Brewse, who married Alice, daughter and one of the heirs of Robert
Poppy, Esq., of со. Norfolk. This Robert in his father's will is alied Sir Robert Townshend, km., and he bequeaths him his "
Cheyne of Gold." Sir Robert was of the Society of Lincoln's Inn in the early part of the reign of King Henry VIII.,
becoming as eminent as his ancestor in the itudv of law, and with his father attended the Duke of Norfolk at the reception
of Lady Anne, daughter of John, Duke of Cleves, who married King Henry VIII., Jan. 1, 1539. He was afterward made
king's sergeant-at-law in 1541, and knighted by Henry VIII. at Hampton Court, on Trinity Sunday, 1545, and the same year
made lord chief justice of Chester, in which post he was continued by both King Edward VI. and Queen Mary. He
deceased on Feb. 8, 1555-6, possessed of the manor and rectory of Gayst, an advowson of the vicarage of the church, the
manor of Swanton, Foxley, and Southwell in Norfolk, and the priory and house of St. Augustine in Ludlow, Salop. Sir
Robert was buried in the high chancel of Lndlow church in an altar tomb, which is a remarkable example of an early and
very rich classic monument of the times. On the top of it, cut in marble, are the full length recumbent figures of himself
dressed in full armor, and his lady in the costume of her day, while figures of his children surround the base of the tomb.
Over the monument, built in the solid masonry of the chancel, is a beautiful gothic arch, and the family crest, a buck
trippant, crowns the whole fabric, which is decorated with escollop shells and other insignias of the family ; above the
monument on the walls are the Townsend arms, quartered with the de Hauteville, de Brewse, Gifford, Lunsford,
Schardlow, Carbonnel, Curson, Poppy and others ; and beneath the beautiful Gothic window, of stained glass, is this
inscription : " Memento Mori Réspice Finam," Anno Domini 1581, and around the coping of the top of the tomb: " Here
lyeth the body of Sir Robert Towneshende, Knight, Chief Justice of the Council! in the Marches of Wales & Chester, and
Dame Alice, his wife, daughter and one of the heirs of Robert Poppy, Esquire, who had between them 12 children, 6 sons
& 6 daughters lawfully begotten." On the paunelling of the monument are the names of his children, but time has
obliterated most of them. The names, however, of Thomas, Robert, Isaac and Henry are still visible. This Sir Robert
Townshend died at Salop, Feb. 8, 1556, and from an inquisition taken at Norwich, April 26, 1556, and at Salop llth of Aug.
following, Thomas Townsend of Brecon Ash, Norfolk, was found to be his heir, who was at that time 22 years of age, and
was seized of the manor of Suton, Swanton and Folsham, in Folsham, with Foiley manor in Twyford, which came to him
by Alice his mother, daughter and heir of Robert Poppy, Esq.

However it is from Sir Roger and Anne Brewes' second son, Sir Robert Townshend, that the Townshends of
New Zealand descend. Sir Robert Townshend, like his father and grandfather before him, was trained in the law. He was
admitted to Lincoln's Inn and in the early part of the reign of Henry VIII became eminent in the study of law, being
retained by Queen Jane Seymour. He was sufficiently distinguished to be appointed Serjeant-at-law in 1540 and King's
Serjeant in 1541. In May 1541 he was elevated to the Bench as Lord Chief Justice of Chester. He was later knighted by
Henry VIII at Hampton Court on Trinity Sunday in 1545 and was a member of the Council in the Principality and Marches
of Wales.
Sir Robert Townshend married Alice Poppy, the daughter of Robert Poppy of Twyford in Norfolk, the marriage
indenture bearing the date 1 October 1516. By right of his wife's family Sir Robert possessed the advowson of Twyford,
and in that capacity appointed Robert Jary vicar of Twyford in 1541, and Robert Watson to the same position in 1554. Sir

Robert died on 8 February 1556/7, possessed of the manors and rectories of Twyford and Guyst, the manors of Swanton,
Foxley and Southwell in Norfolk and the priory house of St. Augustine in Ludlow, Shropshire.
He was buried in the high chancel of Ludlow Parish Church in an alter tomb. On the top of the tomb, which still
exists in excellent condition, are the full length recumbent figures of the old knight in full armour, and his lady dressed in
the costume of the day, while figures of the children surround the tomb. Over the monument is a beautiful gothic arch and
the family crest, and beneath the gothic window is the inscription:
"Here lyeth the body of Sir Robert Townshend, Knight, Chief Justice of the Council in the Marches of Wales
and Chester, and Dame Alice his wife, daughter and one of their heirs of Robert Poppy, Esquire, who had between them
twelve children, six sons and six daughters lawfully begotten."
On the panelling of the monument are the names of the children, the names of Thomas, Robert, Isaac and Henry
being still visible.
Sir Robert Townshend's eldest son Thomas inherited most of his father's properties and resided at Mergate Hall
at Braconash in Norfolk.

Henry Townsend:Sir Robert Townshend's third son, Henry, followed his father into the law. He was educated in the
tradition of his immediate ancestors at Lincoln's Inn where he was admitted in 1559. He was called to the Bar in 1569 and
was returned to Parliament as the member for Bridgenorth in Shropshire in 1571 and 1572. He returned to legal practice
and was appointed to the bench as Deputy Justice of Chester in 1577, in which position he remained until his death. He was
additionally appointed a Judge of the Sheriff's Court of London and from 1576 was also a member of the King's Council in
the Principality and Marches of Wales. A reference to his judicial style is contained in the State Papers of January 1620 as
follows: "Petition of John Edwards, prisoner in the Marshallsea, to the Council. Is sorry for having offended Sir Thomas
Chamberlain and Sir Henry Townshend by contrasting in his letter the leniency of the King and his council towards
himself, a recusant, with their severity, begs release being old and infirm, and having a lawsuit pending which concerns his
posterity." Henry Townshend was knighted by King James I at Whitehall in 1604 and was appointed Vice-Chamberlain of
Chester in the same year. His first wife was a daughter of Sir Rowland Hayward, Lord Mayor of London. His eldest son,
Hayward, was returned to Parliament for Bishop's Castle in Norfolk in 1597 and 1601, but was unfortunately denied a
promising parliamentary career by his early death in 1604. v. Thomasine Townsend, married William Curson. vi. Grace

Roger Towneshend, eldest son of the Judge, was bred to the law, and among other gentlemen of worth and
dignity of the со. Norfolk was appointed a commissioner by act of parliament for raising the sum of £163,000 by a poll-tax
in 1513 for defraying the expense of taking Teroven and Tournay. In 1518 he covenanted to serve the king with ten menat-arms ; was sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk 1511, 1518, 1525, and one of the masters of the courts of request in 1529,
serving also the same year as ono of the King's Conncil with the Bishop of Lincoln. On Jan. 1, 1539, he attended the Duke
276
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
of Norfolk at the marriage reception of. King Henry VIII., ami was knighted 1545, on the return of the king from
Boulogne, and on the death of that monarch was commissioned to take care of the peace of the со. Norfolk. He was a
gentleman of great honor and worth, both at home and at court, and was one of the king's privy council. His wife was
Anix-, daughter and co-heir of Sir William de Brewse, who was from a very ancien-t family which held by descent a great
estate, and brought high honors into the family, she being connected by birth with many of the ancient nobilkv. In his will,
which bears date July 31, 1551, he calls himself son and heir of Sir Roger Townshend, deceased, and ordere his body to be
buried in the church of East Raynham by Amy, his wife, if he fortune to depart within the shire of Norfolk ; leaves
bequests to his sons and daughters, and makes his great grand-son Roger (then a minor), son of Richard, lately deceased,
son of his son John, also deceased, his heir apparent when he attains the age of 27 years. Appoints his sons George and
Thomas his executors, and his will was proved May 10, 1552, and he was buried in the church of St. Mary's, Raynham. As
both these Sir Roger Townshends left wills, in which all their children are mentioned, it is evident that Collins and
Blomefield have made an error in calling them the same person.
Sir Roger Tounsend, heir to his great-grandfather Sir Roger aforesaid, and ancestor to the present Marquis
Townshend. Earl Sydney, Viscount Raynham and Lord Bayning, was afterward a celebrated commander, and brought his
own ships into the service of his country during the time of the Spanish armada in 1588, and showing such undaunted spirit
and bravery, was knighted at sea the 26th of July of the same year by the Lord High Admiral Charles Howard, with the
Lords Howard, Lord Sheffield, John Hawkins and Martyn Frobisher ; and as his name is mentioned before the two last, his
command was no doubt a most important one. On the tapestry hanging on the walls of the house of lords was embroidered
Lord Howard and his captains, one of which was this Sir Roger. He died at Newington, со. Middlesex, June 30, 1590, and
was buried in the church of St. Giles, Cripple-gate, London.
As the history of the chief branch of this family has been written several times within the past century, we will
not continue it further, but will here notice the different modes of spelling the name. The first part Atte seems to have been
dropped during the 14th century, and from this time down to the dawn of pnritanism, as many as twelve different ways of
spelling the name have been found. Thus : Townseiid, Tounnyeshende, Towneshende, &c. About 1500 we learn it became
fashionable to cut down still more ; so Towneshende was abridged by dropping the e in the first and the h and e in the last
syllables, which abridged form seems at this time to have been generally adopted by the different branches of the family ;
but soon after ¿he year 1580, the chief family at Raynham finding that this mode gave a wrong signification to their name,
as they were the land-holders, Stadt or town-holders of that section of the county, they again used the A in the last syllable,
considering it more correct.
Burke says, in his " Landed Gentry," that previous to the ennobling " of the English family, we find the name as
frequently spelt without the h as with, and according to Blomefield the orthography of the old Townsend Monuments at
Raynham is similar. Spelling, however, in those days was not considered a matter of much importance, and it seems not
improbable that Townshend is the most correct, hend being derived from hand (Saion henden), or the Latin root henderé,
only used in composition, to take, to hold."
http://home.worldonline.co.za/~townshend/history1.htm
The younger Roger Townshend did not assume complete possession of the family estates until his mother's
death in September 1500. Born about 1478, he too was educated for the law at Lincoln's Inn where he was admitted in
1496. However he did not make much headway with the law and instead devoted himself to his lands and to local affairs.
He served against the French in 1512 and 1513, in which year he provided a force of thirty men, but found most success in
the administration of his county, especially during the upheaval of the Reformation. In 1513 he was appointed a
Commissioner for the raising of the sum of one hundred and sixty three thousand pounds by a poll tax to pay for the French
War. He was a Justice of the Peace for Norfolk from 1501 to 1513 and then from 1524 until his death in 1551. He held the
important office of High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk three times in 1511, 1518 and again in 1526 and acted on many
commissions at the behest of the Government. He was knighted by Henry VIII in 1518 and twice represented Norfolk in
Parliament, in 1529 and 1542.
In 1536 Sir Roger Townshend was consulted by the third Duke of Norfolk as to the probable yield of the
subsidy in that County, and throughout the 1530s he was in constant correspondence with Cromwell, giving news of any
disaffection, heresy or treason. He was particularly active in the dissolution of the monasteries during the reformation.
"Would that the King had three of four such as Townshend in every shire", wrote the Duke of Norfolk in 1538. In 1528 Sir
Roger had been one of the councillors hearing cases in the Court of Requests and he was called 'King's Councillor' as late
as 1549. The new reign following the death of Henry VIII saw no cessation of his activities and on 2 February 1547 he was
one of four gentlemen whom the Privy Council bade secure East Anglia and four years later, only a few months before his
death, he was one of three commissioned to act as lieutenants of Norfolk.
Sir Roger Townshend's son-in-law Sir Edmund Wyndham was High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1547
when William and Robert Kett raised their rebellion in Wymondham and blockaded Norwich. The rebellion was a protest
against the steady progress of the agrarian revolution and against the rise in prices that was pressing hardly on the poor.
Riding into Kett's camp Sir Edmund boldly proclaimed Kett's followers rebels and commanded them in the King's name to
disperse. They were greatly offended at his words and crowded around him, but he was well enough mounted to break
through them and ride away to Norwich. Nevertheless the following day Sir Roger, believing that the rebels would respect
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
277
him as a near neighbour, determined to try persuasion instead to threats. Taking with him his servants and three carts, laden
with beer and provisions, he advanced into the camp and was treated worse than Wyndham. He was seized, stripped and
made a prisoner and would have been slain but for the courage of his servants.
During the half century of his public activity Sir Roger Townshend did not neglect his own interests. The
twenty manors that he inherited from his father were valued at just under £100 a year, but by 1500 he himself estimated his
annual income to be £250. He added some properties before 1536, but it was after the dissolution of the monasteries that he
made his greatest acquisitions. Between 1536 and 1541 he bought or obtained by exchange at least six manors and much
other land. His aim seems to have been to consolidate his holdings around his chief manor at Raynham and eventually he
owned a score of manors within a ten mile radius as well as a number of others only a little further away.
Sir Roger Townshend was a man of sufficient resources to have secured his election as senior knight of the
shire from 1529, but as an increasingly valued servant of the Crown he could also have counted on official support. By the
end of the Parliament of 1542 Sir Roger was an elderly man, and although he remained active until the end of his life he
had already begun to provide for his family. In 1537-8 he settled a number of estates on himself and his wife with
remainder to his heir. As early as 1511 he had settled four manors on his eldest son John and his wife. In 1537 he allotted
considerable estates to his grandson Richard on his marriage, and between 1536 and 1550 he provided for his younger
sons. Although his children were numerous his estates were to yield an ample heritage.
Sir Roger married Anne Brewes, the daughter and co-heir of William Brewes of Stinton Hall in Norfolk. Anne's
grandfather Sir Thomas Brewes had been High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1438 and 1442 and she was a descendant
of the ancient Barons Braose of Bramber who settled in England with William the Conqueror.
Sir Roger Townshend died on 25 November 1551 and was succeeded at Raynham by his six year old greatgrandson Roger, his eldest son John and his eldest grandson Richard both having predeceased him.

Roger Townsend, Esq., son and heir, was entered a student of Lincoln's Inn, and elected a governor and lent
reader in 1461. In 1468 was trustee in purchasing the Lordship at "Winchingham, St Mary's. In 1472 was member of
parliament for Calme, in Wiltshire; and in 1476 he purchased the remainder of the Lordship of Havile, Raynham, so that
the whole estate was then in this family. In 1477 he was called to the degree of sergeantat-law; in 1480, summoned to be an
assistant to the house of lords in parliament; and in 1485 was made king's sergeant-at-law, and the year following was
appointed a justice of the common pleas. King Henry VII. renewed his patent, and knighted him in his chamber at
Worcester, on Whitsunday before the coronation. Sir Roger dates his will Aug. 14, 14У2, and orders his body to be buried
in the chapel of St. Katherine's, in the church of St. Mary's, Raynham, if he fortunes to decease there ; but if in London, in
the church of White Friars in Fleet Street, before the crucifix. He leaves legacies to his daughters, and mentions son
Thomas ; makes Eleanor, his wife, sole executrix and guardian to his eldest son Roger, on whom he entails his property.
His will was proved 1493, and his wife Eleanor survived him, and in her will dated Nov. 9, 1499, she orders her body to be
buried by the high altar in the chancel of the church of St. Mary's, Raynham, and a new tomb to be made for her husband,
and her bones, upon which tomb to be graven a sepulchre for Easter-day, if a chapel be not made at her decease, and if a
chapel be made then she would be buried with her husband there. She appoints Sir Robert Clere, knt-, her executor, and her
will was proved Oct. 8, 1500.

The Townshend family can lay claim to a long and illustrious line of descent in the direct male line traceable
from the fifteenth century. The real founder of the family was Sir Roger Townshend. Born about 1430, he was in
September 1454 admitted as a student of law at Lincoln's Inn in London and was later appointed Governor of that
institution in 1461. In 1466 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Norfolk and in April 1467 was returned to
Parliament as the member for Bramber in Sussex. He continued his legal career at Lincoln's Inn where he was appointed a
Reader in 1468. His legal practice was evidently considerable, and in November 1469 he enlarged his Norfolk estates by
purchasing the Manor of East Beckham and other lands from Sir John Paston. He seems to have acted as legal advisor to
the Paston family and in June 1470 he was counsel to John Paston who was tried on a charge of Felony at the Norwich
sessions for shooting two men. Sir John Paston borrowed money from him and by 1477 owed him four hundred marks.
Roger was again returned to Parliament in September 1472, this time representing Calne in Wiltshire.
Roger Townshend was a capable and distinguished lawyer. He continued as a Reader at Lincoln's Inn in 1474
and in June 1478 was made a Sergeant-at-Law, becoming King's Sergeant in 1481. In September 1485 he was elevated to
the Bench as a Justice of the Court of Common Pleas by Richard III. He was retained in this position by Henry VII who
knighted him at Worcester on Whitsunday in 1486. He remained a Judge of this Court until his death in 1493.
Sir Roger married Eleanor, the daughter of William Lunsford of Lunsford and Battle in Sussex. Their youngest
daughter, Thomasine, married Sir Thomas Wodehouse, who was created a knight of the Bath at the marriage of Arthur,
Prince of Wales and was ancestor of the Earls of Kimberley. Sir Roger Townshend died on 9 November 1493 and was
succeeded at Raynham by his son, Roger.

The only ready source I have available are the pedigrees from Ancestry.com, which always need to be taken
with a huge grain of salt. However, one in particular, provided a lot of info: "Alexander [Knighted at the battle of Hutton
Field in Scotland in 1482] died holding the manor of Standish of Sir Edward Stanley, Sir Richard Shireburne and Lady Le
Stange in socage by rent of 5 shillings, together with other manors and lands. Sibyl, his widow, wsa libing at Bromley in
Wigan at the date of the inquisition, and Ralph, their sona dn heir was 28 years old. "Alexander was married in 1458 to
Sibyl de Bold, daughter of Sir Henry de Bold of Bold, knight, her mother was Grace. We learn this from an indenture dated
1/1/1451-2 between Ralph de Standish, Esq. and Henry Bold, Esq. whose daughter Sybil was married to Alexander, son
and heir apparent of Ralph. This was a child marriage, as you can see, arranged about the time Alexander was born. The
feoffes for the marriage settlement were Roger de Standish, parson of Standish, John Kirk, parson of Burnhill, John
Eccleston, Esq., Henry Birkhead. The dower was to be 6 pounds per annum out of the profits and rents of the manor of
Standish and the advowson of the curch, and other lands belonging to Ralph which he had by right of marriage from
Margery his wife (excepting what he himself had purchased) with the reversion of Bromley and all the lands which Randel
de Standish held for his life, were entailed on the issue of Sybil and the issue of that marriage, whth the remainder to
Alexander and to the will of Ralph de Standish the father. Following were the arrangements for the estate there after. "Sir
Alexander owned manors and tenents in Blackrod, Standish, Shevington, Langtree, Worthington, Coppull, Chorley,
Duxbury, Whittle, Adlington and Wigan besides estates in other shires such as Chester, Warwick and Essex. As noted in
the forgoing marriage settlement, Alexander and Sibyl were granged in 1457 lands then in the possession of Randel de

Standish for the term of his life etc. The trrustees granted and annuity to 1457 to Alexander and Sibyl to be paid out of the
rents and profits of the manor of Standish. (looks like they were well profided for) "Under the Primageniture Laws of
England, the eldest son who inherited the estate was responsible for the rest of the family as long as they lived. In the
history of this family there were many, many arrangements made for otheres in the family, many of which were for only
their lifetime. This held the property together but generated much unhappiness and disputes often had to be settled. "In
1506 Alexander Standish enfeoffed Ralph his son, of all his estate with an obligation to pay the king a debt of 100 pounds
then due. In 1508, the king gave a quietus to son Ralph Standish and his father, Sir Alexander Standish upon a
recognizance of 1000 pounds." According to this pedigree, his children were: Lawrence STANDISH Alice STANDISH

HARRINGTON, of Old Hall and Brixworth, de jure (according to modern doctrine) LORD VERDON, son and heir, was
aged 40 in 1487. He died s.p.m. 26 June 1497, when any Barony which may be supposed to have been created by the writ
of 1332 fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, between his 10 daughters and coheirs. [Complete Peerage
XII/2:246, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]Note: The descendants of John 1st Baron de Verdon, d. Aft. 23 Oct 1376, were
never called to Parliament, and were probably not considered members of the peerage by their contemporaries. They are
given the title in CP because of the current peerage laws, which were not necessarily recognized at the time.

m. Sibilla Bold, 1 Jan 1461 (b. 1440 in Standish, Lancashire, England, d. 1507
in Wigan, Lancashire, England)
Ralph Standish married Margery, daughter and co-heir of Richard Radcliffe of Chadderton. His wife brought
him land in Chadderton, Witton and Glodyth. This was no doubt an advantageous marriage. Landed families deliberately
sought to enlarge their estates by the marriage of the heir with an heiress, and land was still the main form of property.
Marriages were frequently arranged while the parties were still children. Ralph himself, later, when his son and
heir,Alexander, was still very young, arranged for the boy to be betrothed to Sybilla, the daughter of Henry Bold, an
equally young girl. He also instituted a trust to safeguard the settlements to be made on the marriage of Alexander. This he
did, in about 1452, by conveying certain estates in Lancashire, Cheshire, Warwickshire and Essex to trustees - Roger
Standish, Rector of Standish Church, John Kirk, Parson at Burnhill (Brindle), John Eccleston and Henry Berkheud. A
further indenture exists among the Standish papers whereby these trustees granted the lands they held from Ralph Standish
to Sybil, wife of Alexander Standish, showing that they carried out and completed the trust.
Ralph seems to have had about eight brothers, and one sister, Joan, who married into the Bradshaigh family of
Haigh, near Wigan. A further item of information about him is that in 1452 he obtained a general pardon from Henry VI,
possibly on account of taking part in the Wars of the Roses. He died in 1468 and Alexander, who was about sixteen,
succeeded him. [1]

There is not a great deal of documentary evidence about how Alexander carried out his tenure of the manor, just
a deed or two recording legal squabbles. In 1440 he accused several men of trying to murder him at Langtree. We do not
know the outcome. His father evidently married twice for in 1441 he sued his stepmother, Joan, for the recovery of a sealed
chest. Then, in 1445, the old quarrel between Standish and Langeton flared up again. James Langton sued Alexander de
Standish for the return of a bond. This was a bond given by Laurence, Alexander's father, to James Langeton in which he
bound himself in £1,000 to James, to abide by the award of Alice Gerard. James Langeton had given the bond to Alice
Gerard, who acted as arbitrator in the dispute. Alice, however, had died and the bond had come into the possession of her
daughter, Constance, and so into the hands of Alexander de Standish, for, it will be recalled, Constance was his wife. James
lost the case.
Alexander de Standish died in 1445, leaving his son,Ralph, to succeed him in the manor and to his other
possessions, including land in Shevington and a tenure in Ormskirk.
Among the Standish deeds of the period is a rent roll of Ughtred de Dokesbury, dated 1444/1445, which is of
interest as typifying the kind of rents paid, although we do not know here the size of the holdings. It was itemised:
The holding of Hugh Cowper 29s 6d and services of three days shearing. The holding of Roger Holynce 17s Service 4
capons and 4 days shearing. The holder of Alexander Grene 15s Service of 4 capons and 4 days shearing. The holding of
Nicholas Cowper 17s 6d, Service 3 capons, 3 days shearing and 4d of silver. The holding of Ralph Graystand 6s 8d.

Ordsall Hall Museum - Sir John de Radclyffe
John de Radclyffe, the eldest son and heir, was born at Ordsall in 1377. At the age of nineteen he married
Clemency, daughter of High de Standish of Duxbury, a family of notable antiquity in the county of Lancaster.
The mother of Clemency was a Standish of Standish, her uncle, Ralph, was Sheriff of Lancashire in 1392, and a cousin,
John, was one of the heroes of Agincourt, On their marriage, his father settled on John de Clemency the manors of Hope
and Shoresworth, and the young couple made their home at Hope Hall.
John, like his father, was a soldier, and served in the French wars, wherein he was accorded the honour of
knighthood, and remained in active service until his death.
He was forty four years of age when his father died, opening John's succession to Ordsall, and he remained in
possession for twenty-one years. That he was an addict to the extravagant fashions of the day is adduced from the fact that
in 1428 he was summoned by his brother, Alured, for an offence against the sumptuary laws, a series of edicts passed in
the reigns of Edward the Second and Edward the Third and renewed more forcibly under Richard the Second, which
sought to restrain undue expenditure on elaborate and fantastic apparel. Proclamations were issued against 'outrageous and
excessive multitude of meats and dishes which the great men of the kingdom still use in their castles, ... and persons of
inferior rank imitating their example beyond what their stations required of their circumstances could afford.' The lavish
hospitality at the hall of Ordsall no doubt made Sir John's brothers anxious, lest their own patrimonial portion should be
dissipated
Sir John died 26th July 1442 in his sixty-fifth year holding Ordsall by the ancient services. His wife, Clemency,
had predeceased him, and he had married again. To his widow, Joan, he left for the period of her life his lands in Flixton,
Shoresworth, Hope, and Tockholes. She bore him no issue, but by Clemency Standish he had four sons:
Alexander, eldest son and heir John, killed in an affray at Little Bolton in the parish of Eccles in 1444, leaving a
daughter and heir, Alice, who was married to William Ellcot of Handsworth, co. Chester Hugh, killed in the same affray as
his brother, John Robert, married Emma, eldest daughter and co-heir of Roger de Mellor, and became the ancestor of the
Radclyffes of Mellor

Lawrence had three sons, Alexander, the eldest and heir to the manor, who later became a knight, Roger, who
was by now Rector of Standish, and Oliver. It was Lawrence who made the agreement with Henry de Berkheud for
Eleanor, his sister, to marry Henry's son, John and he contracted to pay Henry “forty marks on certain days as agreed.”
Lawrence also revived the ancient Standish claim to an advowson of Wigan Church, and this time it led to
violence between the Standishes and the Langtons. As a result an indenture was drawn up and both sides were to appoint
arbitrators with the Bishop of Durham acting as umpire. But even this did not finally settle the quarrel. A few years later it
broke out again and this time, Alice, wife of John Gerard of Bryn, was called upon as arbitrator. Although this lady was
connected by marriage with the Standish family, for in 1421 Lawrence de Standish had arranged a marriage between his
son, Alexander, and Constance, her daughter, yet Alice Gerard must have been a person having the confidence and respect
of both parties. Among the deeds there is an indenture written in English, and of interest in its archaic wording and
spelling, of which the following is an extract:

They were to abide by the award of Alice Gerard and were bound in large sums to keep the award. After
hearing all the evidence she found that Ralph de Langeton and his ancestors had had the presentation and advowson of the
said church of "full olde tyme"; that it was a parish "kirke" and no chapel and that there was not enough proof shown to her
that Laurence of Standish or his ancestors had ever presented any clerk to the church nor proof that Laurence had any title
to the advowson or any part therein. There was a number of other clauses, dealing with the release of lands to provide rent
to pay Laurence on the understanding that he did not pursue his claim. In the clauses are named Gilbert, Robert, James,
Dakyn, John and Thurstan, all de Standishes. By 1432 Laurence and Alexander had remitted all their rights as far as the
advowson of Wigan Church was concerned.
Two years later, in 1434, Laurence died and Alexander became Lord of the Manor.[1]

Ordsall Hall Museum - Sir John de Radclyffe John de Radclyffe, son and heir of Richard, was born at Ordsall
in 1356, and was twenty-four years old when he succeeded to his inheritance.
He lived through the reigns of three monarchs, the disorders of misrule of Richard the Second, the no less lively
era of Henry the Fourth, and the valiant awakenings Henry the Fifth inspired.
John entered military service at an early age, desiring no doubt to emulate the fame of his grandfather, and was
associated with his kinsman, Sir Thomas de Holland, Earl of Kent, half-brother to King Richard.
In 1385 he was amongst those chosen by the Earl of Kent to accompany him when he went to take up his
appointment as Captain of Cherbourg, and the King's protection was granted to Radclyffe for the safeguarding of his
estates during his absence abroad.
For some reason his plans were changed; he did not go to Normandy, and the protection was withdrawn. In that
year Charles the Sixth of France determined to invade England, and assembled a great army in Flanders, with an armada at
the port of Sluys to convey them across.
The young King's uncles wisely dissuaded him from the enterprise, and the expedition was abandoned. It is
probable that the services of John de Radclyffe were more necessary at home at such a time than they would be overseas.
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
315
The incompetence of King Richard forced the support of the nation to his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, whose
appointment as head of the Great Council the King was forced to concede. Gradually the power of the Lancastrian party
was rising and the Lord of Ordsall was a devoted adherent of that house.
John of Gaunt died in 1399, and Richard thereupon seized his immense estates and kept them, notwithstanding
his letters patent to the banished Henry of Lancaster permitting him to take possession of his lawful inheritance.
According to the Deputy Keeper's Reports, the Radclyffe title to Ordsall was challenged at this time, from
which it might appear that Sir John was with Duke Henry in his exile. Within a short time, however, Henry landed at
Ravenspur, Richard was deposed, and Lancaster was proclaimed King as Henry the Sixth.
Throughout the fourteen years of his reign the new King found Sir John ever a gallant champion of his cause.
He fought at Hateley Field, and was amongst those whom King Henry held in constant favour.
When Henry the Fifth succeeded his father, Radclyffe like his cousin at Attleburgh was appointed to the
personal service of the King, and was given a captaincy in the French war. Though now an elderly man Sir John bore
himself with distinction at Agincourt.
He was present at the capture of Caen and the Siege of Rouen, and in 1421 was chosen by the King for election
to the Order of the Garter. This honour was actually denied him, however, for he died before the Feast of St. George
following
About 1375 he married Margaret, daughter of Sir Henry de Trafford, whose manor house faced the hall of
Ordsall across the River Irwell. Sir Henry was a considerable landowner of the county, and a notable knight who had won
fame in the campaigns of Edward the Third. Margaret bore him a family of four sons and two daughters, and survived her
husband. She is said to have been married again, shortly after Sir John's death, to Robert Orrell, of Turton, though she was
then past her sixtieth year. In 1413, the year that Henry the Fourth died, Sir John had a dispute with his sons, and agreed to
accept the arbitration therein of Ralph de Radclyffe, son of Sir Ralph of Smithills, apparently with successful result
At the death of Sir John it was found that the Rochdale Bailiwick was worth nothing, as the outgoings exceeded
the receipts. In 1430 therefore his heir sold the family interest in the bailiwick and serjeancy of Rochdale to Sir John Byron
Sir John and Lady Margaret had issue as follows:
John, the eldest son and heir Edmund, died in 1446 Peter, died in 1468 Alured, died in 1462 Elizabeth, eldest
daughter, married to Sir Richard Venables, Baron of Kinderton in Cheshire Joan, married to her cousin, Robert de
Radclyffe of Todmorden, and after his death, to a second husband, Robert de Smethwick of Smethwick

Roger DE TOWNSHEND.Roger married Catherine ATHERTON.
Roger DE TOWNSHEND
Upon the conquest of England by the Normans in l066, her lands were parcelled out by William amongst the
military leaders by whose aid he had accomplished her subjugation. A very large estate in the north-westerly part of the
county of Norfolk, in the neighborhood now called Raynham, (River Home) became the property of one de Haville. In
ll00, a gentleman by the name of Ludovicus (Louis), came from Normandy, in the train of Henry I., and having married the
daughter and only child of De Haville, settled upon his wife's paternal acres, and adopted the family name of
TOWNSEND. These lands passed, by inheritance to TOWNSEND'S children and the family held them not only entire but
largely augmented after the lapse of eight hundred years from the time they were granted to De Haville. THE
TOWNSENDS, by Malcolm Townsend.
The Townsend or Townshend families of England and America are of mixed Saxon and Norman origin and of
great antiquity in the county Norfolk, England. Walter Atte Townshende, son of Sir Lodovic de Townshende, a Norman
nobleman whom Collins in his Peerage of England puts at the head of this family, flourished soon after the Conquest. This
Lodovic it seems married Elizabeth de Hauteville, sole heir of Raynham daughter of Sir Thomas de Hauteville, of the
famous family of de Hauteville or Havile. They were of Norman extraction, and settling in the county of Norfolk became
possessed of a considerable property said to have been granted them by William the Conqueror. William Ad-Exitum-Ville,
that is Townsend or Tunneshende, held considerable lands of the prior of Norwiche's lordship in Taverham, Norfolk, in the
reign of King John, A.D. l200. In the reign of Henry III A.D. l2l7-72 lived Thomas Atte Tunneshende of West Herling; and
in l290 lived William Atte Tune'sende.
In l304 John, son of Thomas Atte Tunnesende, died, leaving Alice his widow, and William his son who was
married in l306. In l37l Peter Atte Townesend was presented with the living of Great Winchingham by the king and
nominated by the bishop. There was a William Atte Tounsend whose son Thomas settled his estates in Thorpland and
Barsham in Norfolk on his son John by deed dated July ll, l377. This John was living at Snoring Magna, A.D. l396, and
afterward settled at Raynham. NEW ENGLAND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, VOL. 29, "The Townshend Family" by

Ordsall Hall Museum - Richard de Radclyffe Richard de Radclyffe, the son and heir of Sir John, was known as
'Le Puigne' to distinguish him from his cousin Richard of the Tower. In addition to the Ordsall estates he succeeded to his
father's offices of Bailiwick of Rochdale and the Stewardship of Blackburn.
By his marriage he vastly enhanced his noble status and landed possessions. His wife was Matilda, daughter and
heir of Sir John Legh of Booths and Sandbach. In this lady flowed some of the noblest blood in the land.
She was descended in the paternal line from Hamon de Legh, Lord of the Mediety of High Legh in the reign of
Henry the Second, whose descendants had absorbed by marriage the notable families of Swineshead, Oughtrington,
Corona, and Sandbach.
By her grandmother, Margaret de Arderne, she was descended from Ralph, Viscount of Bayeux, from the
family of Averanches Earls of Chester, and from the noble lines of St. Hillery, Montalt, Orreby, Glanville, and Sackville.
The quarterings of this distinguished ancestry were now brought into the Radclyffe shield, and Matilda brought
to her husband the manor of Sandbach, a moiety of Mobberley, and other extensive possessions of the Arderne inheritance
in the county of Chester
Richard was one of the greatest landowners in the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire, for in addition to the
wide domains that his wife brought him, he had acquired other portions of the former lands of his own family.
Besides Ordsall, he held the manor of Hope within Pendleton, a messuage and 60 acres of land, held by knight's
service and a rent of four pounds and two shillings, and Shoresworth, which with Hope had come to the Radclyffes from
Margaret de Shoresworth.
On his father's death, Richard petitioned for the restitution of lands in Livesey and Tockholes in Blackburnshire,
which had been granted to Roger de Radclyffe by Thomas of Lancaster, and had been seized by the Crown on account of
the debts which Robert, son of Roger, had left unpaid at his death

Richard was drowned in Rossendale Water, while exercising his official duties, on the Thursday before the feast
of St. Margaret in 1380. He had issue by Matilda of a son and a daughter:
John, the heir
Joan, married to James de Bosville of Chevet,co. York, Esquire
Richard was married twice, his second wife being Sybil, daughter and heiress of Sir Robert de Clitheroe of
Salesbury, by whom he had a daughter,
Joan, married in 1401 to Sir Henry de Hoghton. After Richard's death Sybil was married again to Sir Richard de
Maulverer, to whom she bore a daughter,
Isabella, who was married to John de Talbot, and whose descendents had Salesbury for their inheritance.
The son of John and Isabella was sir John de Talbot, who married Joan, daughter of Sir John de Radclyffe of
Ordsall.
Sybil's third husband was Sir Roger de Fulthorpe, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland. In 1388
Sir Roger was convicted at Westminster of 'divers betrayals of trust' and his lands were made forfeit to the King. These
included 10 messuages and 100 acres in Flixton, held by knight's service and a rent of seventeen shillings and sixpence,
lands called Shagh in Saddleworth Frith of an annual value of ninety shillings, and 6 messuages and 80 acres of meadow
with appurtenances, of an annual value of eighty shillings in the township of Quyck in co. York, all held in right of his
wife as dower from the inheritance of Richard de Radclyffe. These properties on the death of Sybil reverted to the Lord of
Ordsall.
Sybil was living in 1406, when the Bishop of Lichfield granted her a licence as Lady of Salesbury for Mass to
be celebrated 'submissa voce' within her manor of Salesbury

Henry de Standish, Lord of the Manor 1353-1396by Eleanor Johnson
Henry's brothers had followed the traditional occupations of the younger sons of those days, either military
service or the church. Robert and Ralph had been knighted, Robert having been appointed Sheriff of Lancaster, while
Ralph was an esquire to the Black Prince, whom he served in Acquitaine. Gilbert and Edward entered the church, Gilbert
being Rector of Standish an Edmund most likely the one known as Brother Edmund de Standish, who was one of the Black
Friars of Chester.
Henry made an agreement with his neighbour Richard de Langtree, as their respective fathers had done before
them, about the division of the wastes of Standish and Langtree, which they and their ancestors had enclosed. Friends of
both acted as arbitrators to ensure that an equal value was put on the wastes and enclosures they each claimed. These
wastes amounted to three hundred acres and the wood at Standish stretched from the manor park to the boundaries of
Wigan at that time. The pastures lay to the north-west of the township, the Pepper Lane and Almond Brook area of today,
stretching from the church to the borders of Wrightington. Henry de Standish's seal on the agreement was a saltire within
an engrailed bordure.
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher

About the same time the two Lords of the adjacent manors of Standish and Langtree acquired some pasture
rights within the townships which had been held by Thomas de Eccleston and Robert de Standish, son of Edmund. This
they did by grant of land. It is interesting to note that in many of these land deals no money is involved. They seem to be
carried out by land exchange. Henry de Fairclough exchanged land in Foxholes for land in Gathurst Hey with Robert de
Standish, and witness to this deed were Henry de Standish, Hugh de Standish and Richard de Langtree. This may refer to
Fairhurst Hall in Shevington. During the same period, William de Waleys of Arley granted to Robert, son of Edmund de
Standish, all his land in Blackrod and Worthington and the dower of his mother there.
In 1364 Henry granted six acres of land in Standish to Hugh de Ince and Robert de Hulton, son of Agnes. He
also granted Hugh de Standish a plot of land, called Bolton Field. This was just South-east of the Boar's Head Inn, on the
metes or Wigan boundary, on the east side of the main road between "Wygan and Standyssh as far as the flow of the waters
of the Dogles (Douglas)", and would also extend as far as Sicklefield. It was on that land that a workman digging a trench,
in 1926, came upon a hoard of Roman coins. In return for this Henry was granted a moiety of fifteen acres of waste in
Standish and Langtree. (ref.1)

Sir John was the MP for Lancashire in 1341. In 1346, King Edward III began the siege of the fortress of Calais,
which finally capitulated on 4 Aug 1347. During this campaign, Sir John was in constant attendance on the King, with a
personal entourage of two knights, twelve esquires, and fourteen archers, and so nobly did he distinguish himself
throughout the engagements, that the King granted him the right to use what has been described as the proudest family
motto in all the nobility of England, the superscription 'Caen, Crecy, Calais', which has been borne by his lineal
descendents from that time to the present day. After the surrender of Calais, Sir John returned to establish his possession of
Ordsall manor, against Sir John Blount and the De Leghs, who had assumed the estate after the death of Sir Robert, his
cousin. In the intervals of the lengthy litigation that challenged his occupation until 1359, when his rights in Ordsall lands
were finally conceded, he busied himself with public duties, particularly in fostering the new industries his proteges
fromFlanders had introduced into the district.Sir John rebuilt the manor house at Ordsall in about 1350, and the major
portion of Ordsall Hall seen today is that built by him.

Banastre appeared in 12th century Cheshire records where Richard Banastre was named as one of the barons of
Chester. However, the main concentration of this name has been in Lancashire. The name first appears here near presentday Wigan. Sir Adam Banastre was a landowner in the parish of Standish who led a local uprising, known as Banastre's
Rebellion, in 1315. It failed and Sir Adam lost his head. Bannisters were then to be found in the dales of East Lancashire,
in Altham (where they owned the manor) and in Barnoldswick.
William Farrer in his Records of Kendale, Vol II, page 266*The mesne manor of Farleton appears to have been
given by Thomas de Bethum in the time of Henry III to his daughter, Eleanor, who held it in 1254. It appears to have
passed to Eleanor's sister, Hawise, the wife of Thomas Banastre of Bretherton, co. Lane., who had received a considerable
maritagium in Beetham. Thomas Banastre their son, was father of Adam Banastre, whose daughter Katherine married John
de Harrington, younger, of Farleton in Lonsdale. Lands in Farleton in Kendale were held by a local family. The first was
Thomas de Farleton in the reign ot John and the last was Ralph de Farleton, named in 1349, who had a daughter Cecily,
named in 1352. Ralph appears to have alienated his lands befole 1343 to John de Harrington, younger, named above, son of
Sir John de Harrington of Aldingham. The younger John died in 1359 seised ot the manor.* Cheers,Dix Preston
• Web Reference: Page 226 from Records relating to the Barony of Kendale: volume II from British History
online. 859 Thomas de Bethum gave his daughter Eleanor the mesne manor of Farleton, and Eleanor was recorded as
holding it in 1254. It seems that this manor passed to Eleanor's sister, Hawise. Hawise de Bathum was married Thomas
Banastre of Bretherton, Lancashire. Their son was also named Thomas and his son was Adam Banastre, whose daughter
Katherine married John de Harrington, younger, of Farleton in Lonsdale.~ Records relating to the Barony of Kendale:

and his heirs 8 oxgangs of land in Broughton by the service due, viz. 8s. a year. (fn. 5) Uctred and his family took their
surname from LittleSingleton, which they held by serjeanty of the wapentake of Amounderness. (fn. 6)
Note: Richard son of Uctred succeeded, but was ejected by Theobald Walter, after whose forfeiture and death
King John detained the manor and it remained in the hands of Henry III. The township during this time gave an increased
revenue to the Crown.(fn. 7) In 1261 Henry III, after inquiry, restored it as a matter of right to William de Singleton,
grandson of Richard, who paid 3 marks of gold. (fn. 8) . William had already in 1256 acquired land in Broughton from
Geoffrey the Cook, (fn. 9)and in 1262 he warranted to Alan de Singleton a moiety of Broughton. (fn. 10)
Note: William and his son Alan died before 1292, when Alan's son Thomas was in possession and engaged in
various disputes. (fn. 11) Soon afterwards Broughton and the other estates of the family are found in the possession of Joan
wife of ThomasBanastre of Bretherton, she being the sister and heir of Thomas de Singleton. Thomas died in 1299 or 1300,
Joan claiming dower in the latter year. (fn. 12) As a widow in 1303 she made a settlement of the manor of Little Singleton
and variouslands in Thornton, Broughton, Dilworth and Bilsborrow, the remainders being to William Banastre and Adam

the son ofJoan and Thomas.

Richard the Red Earl De Burgh
Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster
Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster (1259 – July 29, 1326), called The Red Earl, was one of the most
powerful Irish nobles of the late 13th and early 14th centuries, a son of Walter de Burgh, the 1st Earl of Ulster (of the
second creation) and Lord of Connacht.[1] His name, "Richard Óg", meant Richard the Young, probably a reference to his
youth when he became earl in 1271, or to differentiate him from his grandfather, Richard Mor.
Richard Óg was the most powerful of the de Burgh Earls of Ulster, succeeding his father in Ulster and Connacht
upon reaching his majority in 1280.[1] He was a friend of King Edward I of England, and ranked first among the Earls of
Ireland. Richard's wife Margaret de Burgh (no direct relation) was the daughter of Sir John de Burgh and Hawise of
Lanvaley[1]. He pursued expansionist policies that often left him at odds with fellow Norman lords.
His daughter Elizabeth was to become the second wife of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland. However, this did
not stop him leading his forces from Ireland to support England's King Edward I in his Scottish campaigns and when the
forces of Edward Bruce invaded Ulster in 1315, the Earl led a force against him, but was beaten at Connor in Antrim. The
invasion of Bruce and the uprising of Felim Ó Conchúir in Connacht left him virtually without authority in his lands, but Ó
Conchúir was killed in 1316 at the Second Battle of Athenry, and he was able to recover Ulster after the defeat of Bruce at
Faughart.[1]
He died July 29, 1326 at Athassel Priory, near Cashel, County Tipperary.

Information about this person:
• Background Information. 908 Alan de Singleton, son and heir of William de Singleton, married twice. Alan was married
first to Hawise de Cottam, and with her had a son, Thomas, who died s.p. and a daughter named Joan. Joan de Singleton
married Thomas Banastre and carried the Singleton estates in Singleton, Broughton, Billsborough, Dillworth and elsewhere
into the Banestre family. William de Singleton married a second time to Catherine Conyers, daughter of Robert Conyers by
his wife Alice, daughter and heiress of Sir Adam de Yealand, by whom he acquired a considerable estate in Claughton and
elsewhere. Alan and Catherine had two sons, Gilbert, his heir, and Ranulph. ~ The Chartulary of Cockersand, Vol. I, Part
II, p. 263
• Family Background. 1031 Broughton was given by William, count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Earl of Warren, to
Ughtred, son of Huck, to hold by the service of 8s [Dodsworth MSS., cxlix, f.49]. It descended to Richard, son of Ughtred,
who was put out of seisn by Theobald Walter. King John afterwards seized it, upon the death of Theobald, and in the
Survey of 1212, it was described as being in the King's hands [Testa, ii, f.822]. Aterwards the King gave it to William le
Sauser, but it was restored to Alan de Singleton, son of Richard, by Henry III, and was in the hands of Alan's son and heir,
William de Singleton, on 22 Mar 1261, when it was found by inquisition that the manor ought not to be tailaged [Escaeta,
45 Hen. III, no. 37]. He was the father of Alan de Singleton, and probably of Thomas, both named in the concord. ~ The
Concords of the County of Lancaster, Part I, pp. 142-143

The Townsend or Townshend families of England and America are of mixed Saxon and Norman origin and of
great antiquity in the county Norfolk, England.
Walter Atte Townshende, son of Sir Lodovic de Townshende, a Norman nobleman whom Collins in his Peerage
of England puts at the head of this family, flourished soon after the Conquest. This Lodovic it eeema married Elizabeth de
Hauteville, sole heir of Raynham daughter of Sir Thomas de Hanteville, of the famous family of de Hauteville or Havile,
which family at this time appear to have been a most important one. They were of Norman extraction, and settling in the
county of Norfolk became posiessed of a considerable property said to have been granted them by William the Conqueror,
which by marriage came to the Townsend family.
We find the name in ancient deeds written thus : Ad-Finem-Ville. AdExitum-Ville. William Ad-Exitum-Ville,
that is Townsend or Tunnesbende, held considerable lands of the prior of Norwiche's lordship in Taverbm, Norfolk, in the
reign of King John, A.D. 1200. In the reign of Henry III. A.D. 1217-72, lived Thomas Atte Tunneshende of West Herling;
and ¡u 1290 lived William Atte Tune'sende. In 1304 John, son of Thomas Atte Tunnesende, «lied, leaving Alice his

widow, and William his son who »aa married in 1306. This family were possessed of valuable estates, and their seal was a
cheveron between three escollop shells, the arms of the family to this day.
There were several of the name living in Norfolk about the beginning of the Hth century, and from them no
doubt the various families of the name sprang. Anno Domini 1319, Richard Atte-Towneshende, of Fincham, conveyed
lands, «be., with the services of divers men, to Adam de Fincham, and in tLe church of St. Martyn's, Fincham, on the
pavement near the lowest wuth window, lies a gravestone, to which was once fixed a brass plate with i long Latin
inscription memorativo to Thomas Townsend, a probable dénudant of this family, and which is now preserved in the
church chest, but much broken.
h 1371, Peter Atte Townesend was presented with the living of Great Winchingham by the king and nominated
by the bishop. There was a William Atte Tounsend whose son Thomas settled his estates in Thorpl^«d and Barsham in
Norfolk on his son John, by deed dated July 11,1377. This John wae living at Snoring Magna, A.D. 1396, and afterward
settled at Kajuham.

Walter Atte Townshende, sometimes referred to as Walter Ad Finem Ville, Ad Exitum Ville, or Atte
Towneshende, all traditionally meaning "at town's end," but in Norman dialect could be "town holder." The silent "h" and
the final "e" were dropped about 1500 as superfluous, returning to the noble branch of the family soon after 1580. see The

m. Margaret DeLongvillers, 1267 (b. 1242 in Badsworth, Yorkshire, England, d.

It is with the great house of Nevill that Raby is most associated, which came about in this way: in 1131 the
Manor of Raby was granted to Dolfin, son of Uchtred (and descendant of Malcolm II, King of Scots), by the Prior of
Durham. This Dolfin married Adelicia, niece of Bishop Flambard, who built Durham Cathedral; their son, Maldred was the
father of Robert Fitzmaldred who married Isabel Nevill, a great Norman heiress, who eventually inherited the Manors of
Sheriff Hutton near York and Brancepeth, together with lesser lands and manors.
Their son, Geoffrey Nevill, taking his mother's name, was the first Nevill owner of Raby, and it continued in the
possession of this family, at one time the most powerful in England, until 1569.
Ralph, the Black Douglas & the Battle of the Neville's Cross
The next owner of Raby, Robert Nevill, d. 1282, was Castellan, during Henry II's war with the Barons, of
Bamburgh, Scarborough and Newcastle. He was succeeded by his grandson, Ranulf, 1st Lord Nevill, whose father, Robert,
had married Mary, daughter of Robert FitzRanulf.
This Ranulf, who died in 1331, was in turn succeeded by his second son, Ralph, whose brother Robert Nevill,
known as the Peacock of the North, was slain at Berwick in 1319 by the Black Douglas. Ralph, 2nd Baron Nevill, was also
captured by the Black Douglas in the same fray, but was ransomed and fought in further campaigns against the Scots, and
was the victor of the Battle of Neville's Cross at which he took prisoner, David II, King of Scotland. He was a great
benefactor of the Church, and when he died in 1367, was the first layman to be buried in Durham Cathedral.
John, Governor of Aquitaine
Ralph was succeeded by his eldest son, John, 3rd Baron Nevill, KG, who completed the building of the present
castle, having obtained a licence to crenellate in 1378, although this probably meant adding fortifications to an existing
building. He was a great captain, being appointed Governor of Aquitaine, 1378-81, Lord Warden of the Marches and Joint
Commissioner for treating for peace with Scotland. He died in 1388 and was buried in the Nevill Chantry in Durham
Cathedral, where his tomb was much mutilated by Scottish prisoners during the Civil War in 1650.
Ralph, Earl of Richmond and Cicely, the "Rose of Raby"
John, Lord Nevill, was succeeded by his son, Ralph, mentioned by Shakespeare in Henry V, who was created
Earl of Westmoreland in 1397, the first to hold this title, by Richard II, but he afterwards joined the Lancastrians and was
instrumental in placing his brother-in-law. Henry IV, on the throne. In return the King created him Earl of Richmond, a
Knight of the Garter and Earl Marshal of England. His first wife was Lady Margaret Stafford, by whom he had seven
children, and his second Lady Joan Beaufort, daughter of John of Gaunt, by whom he had a further fourteen children.
Their youngest daughter, Cicely, the "Rose of Raby", married Richard, Duke of York, and was the mother of
Edward IV and Richard III. Through her granddaughter Elizabeth of York, Queen of Henry VII, she is an ancestress of the
Royal family. The Earl's youngest son, Edward, was created Baron Bergavenny and his descendant, the Marquess of
Abergavenny, is the present head of the Nevill family. The Earl was a great church builder, and his alabaster tomb in
Staindrop Church, where his effigy lies between that of his two wives, is regarded as being among the finest monuments in
the North. He died in 1425.
The 2nd and 3rd Earls
His successor, his grandson, Ralph, 2nd Earl of Westmorland, who died in 1484, engaged in inconclusive
private warfare with his uncles of the Earl's second marriage over the Middleham Estates, which had been left to them
through the influence of their mother, until both sides were commanded by Henry VI to keep the peace.
He was succeeded by his nephew, Ralph, 3rd Earl, whose father was killed fighting for the Red Rose
(Lancastrians) at the Battle of Towton, 1461. The 3rd Earl, who fought in Scotland against Perkin Warbeck, died in 1523,
and again was succeeded by a grandson, also Ralph, another energetic warrior against the Scots. He was present at the
Field of the Cloth Gold, and was a signatory to the letter of Pope Clement asking for the divorce of Queen Catherine of
Aragon.
The Rising of the North
Before his death in 1549, the Earl was created a Knight of the Garter. His successor, Henry, 5th Earl, as a boy
took part in the Pilgrimage of Grace. He was a staunch supporter of Queen Mary Tudor and under her held high office.
The family adhered firmly to the Old Faith, and his son Charles, 6th and last Nevill Earl of Westmorland, was
leader, with Thomas Percy, of the ill fated rebellion, the 'Rising of the North', in support of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1569.
He fled to Holland where he died in poverty in 1601.

Thus ended the Nevill ownership of Raby, which had lasted for nearly four hundred years. The Castle was held
by the Crown until 1626 when it was purchased by Sir Henry Vane the Elder.

Stephen de Segrave (1171-1241) a medieval Chief Justiciar in England (similar to a modern Prime Minister)
In 1232, he succeeded Hubert de Burgh as Chief Justiciar. He officiated at the trial of de Burg in Nov 1232, which has
been called "the first state trial" in England.
As an active Coadjutor of Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, Segrave incurred some share of the oppobrium which
was lavished on the Poitevin royal favorites of Henry III of England.
In 1234, he was deprived of his office as Chief Justiciar. Soon, however, he was again occupying an influential position at
Henry's court, and he retained this until his death.
He became a Knight and was made Constable of the Tower of London in 1203. He obtained lands and held various
positions under Henry III. He was given the manor where Caludon Castle was built, at Wyken near Coventry in 1232 or
earlier, by Ranulph de Blondville, 4th Earl of Chester. Ranulph also granted him Bretby in 1209. In 1236, he became
Castellan of Beeston Castle and Chester Castle, jointly with Hugh de Spencer and Henry de Aldithley.
He was son of Gilbert de Segrave of Segrave in Leicestershire.
He married 1st Rohese le Despencer (daughter of Thomas le Despencer) and 2nd Ida de Hastings (daughter of William de
Hastings and Margery Bigod of Norfolk).

Stephen of Segrave (died 1241), Constable of the Tower of London in 1203-04, a justice itinerant and constable of several
royal castles, Sheriff of Buckingham, Bedford, Worcester, Leicester and Northampton;he became Justiciar of England in
1231 but very quickly somehow antagonized Henry III and lost his offices. He married twice, and it is not known which
wife was the mother of his two children. They were Rohese, daughter of Thomas le Despenser of Loughborough, and Ida,
daughter of William de Hastings - many sources favor her as the mother, but Burke's thinks it was Rohese. The children:
(1) John, married but died childless before his father in 1229; and (2) Gilbert of Segrave (died c1254), a justice of oyer and
terminer, who married Amable, daughter of Robert de Chaucombe and his wife Juliana.
SEGRAVE, the name of an English baronial family. Stephen de Segrave, or Sedgrave (d. 1241), the son of a certain
Gilbert de Segrave of Segrave in Leicestershire, became a knight and was made constable of the Tower of London in 1203.
He obtained lands and held various positions under Henry III., and in 1232 he succeeded Hubert de Burgh as chief justiciar
of England. As an active coadjutor of Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, Segrave incurred some share of the
opprobrium which was lavished on the royal favourites, and in 1234 he was deprived of his office. Soon, however, he was
again occupying an influential position at Henry's court, and he retained this until his death on the 9th of November 1241.
His son and heir, Gilbert de Segrave (d. 1254), who was also a judge, died in prison at Pons in France, whither he had gone
to fight for Henry III.
Gilbert was the father of Nicholas De Segrave, 1st Baron Segrave (c. 1238-1295), who was one of the partisans
of Simon de Montfort; he led the Londoners at the battle of Lewes, and was a member of Earl Simon's famous parliament
of 1265. He was wounded at the battle of Evesham, and was afterwards among those who defied the royal authority in the
isle of Ely. Soon, however, he obtained terms of peace, and went to the Holy Land with his future sovereign, Edward I. In
1283 he was summoned to parliament as a baron, and he served the king in various ways. He had six sons, three of whom,
John (who succeeded him), Nicholas and Gilbert (bishop of London from 1313 until his death in December 1316), were
men of note. Nicholas the younger (c. 1260-1322) was summoned to parliament in 1295, and was present at the battle of
Falkirk and at the siege of Carlaverock Castle. In 1305 he was found worthy of death for deserting the English army in
Scotland and for crossing over to France in order to fight a duel with Sir John de Cromwell; he was, however, pardoned,
and again served Edward I. in Scotland. Under Edward II., Nicholas, who was one of Piers Gaveston's few friends, was
made marshal of England, but lost this office definitely in 1316. Later he associated himself with Thomas, earl of
Lancaster. Through marriage he obtained the manor of Stowe in Northamptonshire, and he is generally called lord of
Stowe.

John De Segrave, 2nd Baron Segrave (c. 1256-1325), was one of those who supported the earls of Norfolk and
of Hereford in their refusal to serve Edward I. in Gascony in 12 9 7. He took part in campaigns in Scotland, and like his
brother Nicholas he signed the letter which was sent in 1301 by the barons at Lincoln to Pope Boniface VIII. repudiating
the papal claim to the suzerainty of Scotland. Having been appointed warden of Scotland, Segrave was defeated at Roslin
in February 1303; after the capture of Stirling he was again left in charge of this country and was responsible for the
capture of Sir William Wallace, whom he conveyed to London. He was also warden of Scotland under Edward II., and was
taken prisoner at Bannockburn, being quickly released, and dying whilst on active service in Aquitaine. His grandson and
heir, another John (c. 1295-1353), married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas of Brotherton, earl of Norfolk, a son
of Edward I. Their daughter Elizabeth married John de Mowbray, and the barony of Segrave was united with, and shared
the fate of, that of Mowbray (q.v.).
Other celebrated members of the Segrave family are Sir Hugh Segrave (d. c. 1386), treasurer of England from
1381 until his death, and Stephen de Segrave (d. 1333), a noted pluralist, who was archbishop of Armagh from 1323 until
his death on the 27th of October 1333.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Crowned at Scone, 17 Mar 1057/8. Slain while besieging Alnwick Castle. Macloln III is remembered for bringing
European refinements to the Scottish court, chiefly through the influence of his second wife Margaret, and for introducing
British conventions, especially the practice of feudalism , to Scotland. Malcolm spent a number of year in England after his
father, Duncan I, was overthrown and murdered by his cousin Macbeth. In 1057 Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle, and he
gained the throne the following year by killing Macbeth's son Lulach. Malcolm was greatly influenced by English customs
of his wife. After the Normans conquered England in 1066, Malcolm permitted people from England who opposed the
Norman leader, William the Conqueror, to settle in Scotland. He gave land to some of them and introduced feudalism into
Scotland. Under feudalism, lords gave land to people in return for military and other services.---------- Malcolm was
determined to extend his kingdom southwards and take advantage of the upheaval caused by the Norman Conquest.
Making the excuse that he was supporting the claim to the English throne of his brother-in-law Edgar Atheling, Malcolm
invaded England five times between 1061 and 1093 (he was a formidable warrior-king, having killed his two predecessor
kings). Three times defeated, Malcolm was forced under the treaty of Abernethy in 1072 to become 'the man' of the
English king and give up his son Duncan as a hostage. Malcolm and his eldest son, Edward, were finally killed in battle at
Alnwick, Northumberland on 13 November 1093, aged about 62. His wife died when they brought her the news at
Edinburgh Castle. She was canonised in 1249. After Malcolm's death, the frontier between the kingdoms of Scotland and
England was clearly defined for the first time. Anglo-Norman influence in Scotland was promoted by the subsequent
marriages of Malcolm's sons to English brides.

was mortally wounded and died the next day. Macbeth was succeeded by Lulach, son of Gillacomgain, another memober

Malcolm III CANMORE (b. c. 1031--d. Nov. 13, 1093, near Alnwick, Northumberland, Eng.), king of Scotland
from 1058 to 1093, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom. The son of King Duncan
I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father's murderer, Macbeth (reigned
1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by
William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one
of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife.Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in
1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these
invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after
Malcolm's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in
1290. Of Malcolm's six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar(reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (110724), and David I (1124-53). [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

Northumberland, and continued to live for many years in England. In 1054 Siward, with the sanction of Edward the
Confessor, led an army into Scotland, encountered Macbeth near Dunsinane, defeated him, and left Malcolm in possession.
Macbeth retired into the North, and the contest was only ended in 1056, by his defeat a nd death at Lumphanan. Malcolm
remained at peace with England during the reign of Edward the Confessor, but on the accession of Harold he favoured the
attempt of Tostig. After the battle of Hastings he welcomed to his court Edgar the Atheling, with his mother and two
sisters, and soon married one of them, the Princess Margaret. In 1070 he invaded England, ravaged Durham, and carried
off so many prisoners that for years after English slaves werefound in every hamlet of Scotland. This raid was avenged by
a more savage and destructive devastation of Northumbria by William the Conqueror. Malcolm agreed to do homage, and
Edgar left his court, but he continued to give his protection to t he English exiles. Disputes arose with WilliamRufus, and in
1091 Malcolm again invaded England, but retired without fighting. William invaded Scotland the next year, but peace was
made by the mediation of Duke Robert and Edgar. In 1093 Malcolm once more made an incursion into England and
besieged Alnwick Castle. He was attacked byRoger de Mowbray and killed in the battle, November 13th of that year.His
queen, Margaret, heard the tidings, and died three days later.
You're missing a son, though of no genealogical import:
EDGAR (1072-1107) king of Scotland, eldest surviving son of Malcolm Canmore and Margaret, sister of Edgar
Atheling, named after his Saxon uncle, was the first king who united Scottish and Saxon blood. Canmore was slain by an
ambush near Alnwick on 13 Nov. 1093, when engaged in a raid on northern England; his eldest son, Edward, fell at the
same time or a day or two after. Edgar brought the fatal news to his mother, then in the castle of Edinburgh. Already
enfeebled with illness she saw it in his face before he spoke, and adjured him to tell the truth. When told that both her
husband and first-born were slain, 'she prayed to Christ, who through the Father's will made the world live by his death, to
deliver her from sin,' and, according to the pathetic narrative of Turgot (or Theodoric), died while saying the words
'Deliver me.' Donald Bane, the half-brother of Malcolm, of pure Celtic blood, at once claimed the vacant crown. The body
of Margaret had to be conveyed under cover of a mist by Edgar from the castle to Dunfermline, as the Celtic race rose in
favour of Donald. Edgar and his younger brothers Alexander and David were forced to take refuge with their uncle Edgar
Atheling, who conveyed them secretly to some part of England. Their sisters, Mary, afterwards wife of Eustace of
Boulogne, and Eadgytha, afterwards, Maud, wife of Henry I, were already at the abbey of Ramsey, where their aunt
Christina was a nun. Perhaps this was the place of their refuge. Another competitor for the crown now appeared at the
English court, probably at the assembly held in Gloucester at Chrismas 1094. This was Duncan, an elder son of Malcolm,
by Ingebiorg, widow of Thorfinn, earl of Orkney. Having done homage to Rufus, he received the aid of English and
Norman volunteers, and marching to Scotland defeated Donald Bane in May 1094. Duncan's success was brief. Edmund,
styled 'the only degenerate son of Malcolm,' sided with Donald Bane, and at their instigation Malpedi, the Mormaer of the
Mearns, slew Duncan by treachery, and Donald Bane again reigned for three years. Rufus now gave his aid to Edgar
Atheling and his nephew Edgar, who marching to Scotland by Durham, where their banner was taken from the abbey at the
bidding of a vision of St. Cuthbert to the younger Edgar, met and overthrew Donald in Scotland. Donald was blinded and
kept a prisoner. His ally Edmund became a monk of Montacute, near Mont St. Michel. In gratitude for his victory Edgar
dedicated Coldingham to St. Cuthbert and the monks of Durham, and a little later granted Berwick to the new bishop,
Ranulf Flambard, but indignantly rescinded the gift on the bishop taking prisoner Robert Godwin's son, who had helped in
the defeat of Donald and received lands in Lothain in return for his service. About this time, profiting by the disputed
succession in Scotland, perhaps invited by Donald Bane, Magnus, the Norwegian king Olaf's son, called Barefoot from his
adoption of the dress of the highlands and isles, made a second expedition against the Orkneys, Hebrides, and as far south
as Man and Anglesey, from which he was driven back by the Earls of Chester and Shrewsbury, though the latter was killed.
In Scotland he fared better, and in the winter of 1098 made a treaty with Edgar which secured to Magnus all the western
islands round which he could steer a helm-carrying vessel. The isthmus of Cantyre, across which he dragged one, fell
within the literal terms of the treaty, and along with the Hebrides remained under Norse suzerainty till shortly before the
battle of Largs. This treaty, whatever its terms, and the marriage of Henry I of England to his sister Maud on 11 Nov. 1110,
gave Edgar the peace which suited his character and the needs of his people, who must have suffered from Malcolm's
constant wars. Magnus was slain in Ulster in 1104, and the chiefs of the isles for a few years threw of the Norse yoke, but it
was again imposed on them by Olaf Goredson in 1113. Edgar, like his mother and brothers, was a friend of the church.
Charters in the Saxon form came into use in his reign. Four genuine as well as one probably spurious are preserved among
the records of Durham. His gift of a camel to the Irish king Murcertach indicates a liberal disposiiton as well as his good
relations with neighboring kings. He is described by a contemporary, Ailred of Rievaux, as 'a sweet-tempered and amiable
man, like his kinsman Edward the Confessor in all respects, who exercised no tyranny or avarice towards his people, but
ruling them with the greatest charity and benevolence.' His reign is generally described as eventless from its pacific
character. His chief residences were Dunfermline, where he was buried, and the castle of Edinburgh, where he, or one of
his brothers perhaps, erected the small chapel still extant in memory of his mother. He died on 8 Jan. 1107 at Dundee
unmarried, and by his will left Cumbria, which he held by some anomalous tenure under the king of England, to his
younger brother David. Alexander I succeeded to the crown of Scotland and also held Lothian. His only remaining brother,
Ethelred, was abbot of Dunkeld and Earl of Fife. [The Scottish chroniclers Fordun and Wyntoun, and the English AngloSaxon chroniclers, Symeon of Durham, Florence of Worcester, and William of Malmesbury, Magnus Barefoot's Saga, and
the Chronicle of Man are the old authorities; see also Lappenberg's History of the Anglo-Saxons; Pearson's History of

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Duncan I of ScotlandFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Duncan I Anachronistic depiction of Duncan I by Jacob de
Wet, 17th Century King of Alba Reign 1034–1040 Predecessor Malcolm II Successor Macbeth Spouse Suthen Issue
Malcolm III, King of Alba Donald III, King of Alba House Dunkeld Father Crínán of Dunkeld Mother Bethóc Died 14
August 1040 [1]Pitgaveny, near Elgin Burial Iona ? Donnchad mac Crínáin (Modern Gaelic: Donnchadh mac Crìonain;[2]
anglicised as Duncan I, and nicknamed An t-Ilgarach, "the Diseased" or "the Sick";[3] ca. 1001 – 14 August 1040)[1] was
king of Scotland (Alba) from 1034 to 1040. He was son of Crínán, hereditary lay abbot of Dunkeld, and Bethóc, daughter
of king Malcolm II of Scotland (Máel Coluim mac Cináeda).Unlike the "King Duncan" of Shakespeare's Macbeth, the
historical Duncan appears to have been a young man. He followed his grandfather Malcolm as king after the latter's death
on 25 November 1034, without apparent opposition. He may have been Malcolm's acknowledged successor or tánaise as
the succession appears to have been uneventful.[4] Earlier histories, following John of Fordun, supposed that Duncan had
been king of Strathclyde in his grandfather's lifetime, between 1018 and 1034, ruling the former Kingdom of Strathclyde as
an appanage . Modern historians discount this idea.[5] An earlier source, a variant of the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba
(CK-I), gives Duncan's wife the Gaelic name Suthen.[6] Whatever his wife's name may have been, Duncan had at least two
sons. The eldest, Malcolm III (Máel Coluim mac Donnchada) was king from 1057 to 1093, the second Donald III
(Domnall Bán, or "Donalbane") was king afterwards. Máel Muire, Earl of Atholl is a possible third son of Duncan,
although this is uncertain.[7] The early period of Duncan's reign was apparently uneventful, perhaps a consequence of his
youth. Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findláich) is recorded as his dux, literally duke , but in the context — "dukes of Francia"
had half a century before replaced the Carolingian kings of the Franks and in England the over-mighty Godwin of Wessex
was called a dux — this suggests that Macbeth was the power behind the throne. [8]In 1039, Duncan led a large Scots army
south to besiege Durham , but the expedition ended in disaster. Duncan survived, but the following year he led an army
north into Moray , traditionally seen as Macbeth's domain. There he was killed in action, at Bothganowan, now Pitgaveny ,
near Elgin , by his own men led by Macbeth, probably on 14 August 1040.[9] He is thought to have been buried at
Elgin[10] before later relocated to the Isle of Iona . Depictions in fictionDuncan is depicted as an elderly King in Macbeth
by William Shakespeare. He is killed in his sleep by the protagonist, Macbeth.In the animated television series Gargoyles
he is depicted as a weak and conniving king who assassinates those who he believes threaten his rule. He even tries to
assassinate Macbeth. However like in actual history he is killed in battle.

432
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Conan III allied himself with Stephen of England in his war against the dispossessed Empress Matilda. For his support,
Stephen created for Conan's son-in-law Alan the title 1st Earl of Richmond.
He married, before 1113, Maude, an illegitimate daughter of King Henry I of England. With Maude he had three children,
Hoel, Bertha(b.c. 1114), and Constance. Later, when his son-in-law Alan died in 1146, Bertha returned home from
England.
On his death-bed in 1148, Conan III disinherited Hoel from succession to the Duchy, stating that he was illegitimate and no
son of his. By this surprise move Bertha became his heiress and successor. However, Hoel was to retain the county of
Nantes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_III,_Duke_of_Brittany
In the declining years of the Roman Empire, the earliest Breton rulers in Gaul were styled "kings". Local rulers claimed
authority over the Bretons as a whole from the early 9th century. After the death of Charlemagne the rulers who succeeded
were styled kings of Brittany, but were later redefined as dukes. In the ninth and tenth century they fought against the
attempted expansion of the Vikings and NormansAt around eight years of age, Conan II succeeded his father as Duke of
Brittany. By the time Conan reached his majority at age sixteen, around 1048 it was a dynastic conflict between uncle and
nephew. Conan faced numerous threats posed by the pro-Norman faction in Brittany, including revolts sponsored by
William, Duke of Normandy. While William plotted to take the English crown, Conan consolidated his authority in
Brittany and planned to take advantage of William's extended absence and invade Normandy.During his 1066 siege of
Angers, Conan was found dead after donning poisoned riding gloves. Duke William was widely suspected of the
assassination. Now in control of Brittany, Duke William of Normandy was able to attract Bretons into his expeditionary
army for the upcoming campaign to claim the English crown.]In 1086 Alan IV of Brittany was forced to abandon his
duchy after an invasion launched by William I of England. However, a peace settlement was reached that same year and in
the negotiations that followed Alan IV was forced into marriage with King William I's second daughter Constance of
England.[2] In 1093 Alan IV married Ermengarde of Anjou as a political alliance with Fulk IV of Anjou to counter AngloNorman influence. With Ermengarde he had a son Geoffrey, who died young, Conan III, and a daughter .Conan III of
Cornwall (was duke of Brittany, from 1112 to his death. Conan III allied himself with Stephen of England in his war
against the dispossessed Empress Matilda. He married before 1113 to Maude, an illegitimate daughter of King Henry I of
England. With Maude he had three children, Hoel, Bertha , and Constance. In 1146, Bertha returned home from England.
On his death-bed in 1148, Conan III disinherited Hoel from succession to the Duchy, stating that Hoel was illegitimate and
no son of his. By this surprise move Bertha became his heiress and successor. 1158 Conan IV , son of Bertha, , reunited the
Duchy once again. , Henry II of England, now King of England, continued to stoke revolts and rebellions in Brittany
against Conan IV. By 1160 Conan was forced to yield to Henry. In the peace negotiations which followed Conan was
obliged to marry Henry's cousin, Margaret of Scotland.Conan appealed to Henry II for aid to end the revolts. For his aid
Henry II insisted on the betrothal of Conan’s only daughter and heiress, Constance, to Henry's son Geoffrey Plantagenet.
thus continuing the policy of interweaving the Breton succession with the Plantagenet succession. It was this move and
succeeding intermarriages that invited more interference in Brittany, with direct influence over succeeding Breton dukes.

Earls of Dunbarhttp://irvinemclean.com/peerage/dunbar.htm
1st Earl of Dunbar, Cospatrick, b.?, a.c.1072, d.1075
The earls of Dunbar were descended from Crinan, Mormaer of Atholl, and Bethoc of Scotland (b.c.984, d.?), daughter of
King Malcolm II. Their older son became King Duncan I, and their younger son Maldred (b.c.1015, d.1045) became Lord
of Allerdale. Maldred married Ealdgytha, daughter of Ughtred, earl of Northumberland, and Aelgifu, daughter of the Saxon
king Ethelred the Unready. Maldred’s son Cospatrick, or Gospatric (b.c.1040, d.c.1075), was made earl of Northumberland
by William the Conqueror in 1067, but was deposed in 1072 and fled to Scotland, where Malcolm III, King of Scotland,
welcomed him and granted him Dunbar and the adjoining lands. Though an earl by rank, he was not during his lifetime
considered to the Earl of Dunbar, the numbering being backdated from the fourth holder of the lands, who was first to be
designated as hereditary earl of those lands.
2nd Earl of Dunbar, Cospatrick, b.?, a.1075, d.1138
Cospatrick’s eldest son, Dolfin, was given the title Earl of Cumberland, while his second son, also Cospatrick, inherited the
Dunbar estates, although at the time of his death, he held extensive lands in both Scotland and England. He was killed at
the Battle of the Standard, fighting on the Scottish side. During his lifetime, he was known as the Earl of Lothian, the area
in which Dunbar resides.
3rd Earl of Dunbar, Cospatrick, b.?, a.1138, d.1166
Son of the 2nd Earl. He inherited large areas of Northumberland and well as Lothian and the Scottish Borders, and like his
father was also known as Earl of Lothian. He was a great religious patron, and latterly appears to have become a monk
himself.
4th Earl of Dunbar, Waltheof, b.?, a.1166, d.1182
Son of the 3rd Earl. It is possible that he served as a hostage to the English King Stephen, and he was the first to be titled
Earl of Dunbar rather than of Lothian.
5th Earl of Dunbar, Patrick, b.1152, a.1182, d.1232
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
435
Son of the 4th Earl. By this time, the Earl of Dunbar had become one of the most senior nobles in Scotland, and he was
heavily involved in the negotiations between England and Scotland, having lands in each. He served as Justiciar of
Lothian, Warden of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and Keeper of Berwick Castle.
6th Earl of Dunbar, Patrick, b.?, a.1232, d.1248
Son of the 5th Earl and Ada (b.b.1174, d.1200), an illegitimate daughter of William I, King of Scotland. As with his father,
he was closely involved with the running of the kingdom, putting down uprisings in Galloway and Argyll, and acting as
envoy to England on behalf of his King. He died on crusade at the siege of Damietta in Egypt.
7th Earl of Dunbar, Patrick, b.c.1213, a.1248, d.1289
Son of the 6th Earl and Eupheme FitzAlan (b.?, d.c.1267), daughter of Walter FitzAlan, 1st Great Steward of Scotland.
Patrick aligned himself with the English, paying homage for his English lands to King Henry III. With Henry’s backing, he
took sides against the Comyn faction, obtaining the release of King Alexander III from their clutches . He was briefly
Regent and Guardian after this, but was finally excluded from power in 1258 when the Comyn prevailed. He remained
active, and fought at the Battle of Largs in 1263. He took part in the Parliament that signed the treaty of Norway, and in the
one that declared Margaret of Norway as heir to the throne.
8th Earl of Dunbar & March, Patrick, b.c.1242, a.1289, d.1308
Son of the 7th Earl and Cecil Fraser. The 8th Earl was one of the Competitors for the throne in 1291, being a descendant of
King William the Lion. As with many other Scottish nobles, he was required to offered fealty to King Edward I on behalf
of the lands he held in England. However, and also like so many others, he later rejected Edward in favour of the Scottish
crown. He was the first Dunbar earl to take the additional title of Earl of March, the marches being the disputed territories
on the border. His daughter Cecilia married James Stewart, 5th High Steward of Scotland, and so was the grandmother to
Robert II, the first Stewart king.
9th Earl of Dunbar & March, Patrick, b.c.1285, a.1308, d.c.1369
Son of the 8th Earl and Marjory Comyn, daughter of Alexander Coymn, 6th Earl of Buchan. After the Battle of
Bannockburn, Dunbar gave refuge to the fleeing English King Edward II, helping him escape back to England by sea. He
later made his peace with Bruce, and was appointed Governor of Berwick after re-taking the Castle in 1318. In 1332,
Dunbar was made Guardian of the Realm after the death of the Regent, Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray, and resisted
Edward Balliol after the Battle of Dupplin Moor. However, after the disaster of Halidon Hill, he had little choice but to pay
fealty to Edward III. On the plus side, Edward ordered the rebuilding of Dunbar Castle, which had been dismantled, in
order to house an English garrison. After its completion however, Dunbar conveniently renounced allegiance to Edward,
regained his castle, and thereafter continued to campaign against the English alongside Thomas Randolph, the 3rd Earl of
Moray, to whose sister Agnes he was married. While Dunbar was away fighting, the English under the Earl of Salisbury
laid siege to Dunbar Castle. Agnes, known as Black Agnes because of her dark complexion, took command of the garrison
and withstood the siege. In 1346, Edward III was distracted by the failure of a truce with the French, and Dunbar joined in
with the Scottish Army under King David II and William Douglas, the Knight of Liddesdale, that was commissioned by
King Philip VI of France under the Auld Alliance. However, the Battle of Neville’s Cross proved to be another disaster for
the Scots, with Moray killed, and the King captured. It was another eleven years before David was ransomed, with Dunbar
acting as envoy and then hostage, although he seems to have been released soon after.
10th Earl of Dunbar & March, George, b.c.1336, a.1369, d.c.1416
There is some dubiety regarding the exact ancestry of the 10th Earl, whether or not he is the son of the 9th Earl and Agnes
Randolph or the son of the 9th Earl’s brother John of Dunbar and his wife Isabella, daughter of Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl
of Moray. Regardless, he inherited vast domains and was a senior figure of the realm. During this period, there was almost
constant warfare along the border, ranging from minor acquisitive raids to major incursions. Dunbar and James Douglas,
2nd Earl of Douglas, shared responsibilities as Wardens of the March to counter their English equivalents Percy and
Neville. As part of the Auld Alliance, in 1385, France provided men and money to the Scots to aid them. Hearing of this,
Richard II of England sent a large invading army into Scotland. However, the Scots retreated, scorching the earth before
them, and although Richard reached Edinburgh, destroying towns as he went, he had no choice but to turn back, his troops
suffering from severe food shortages. To add insult, while Richard was in Scotland, Douglas and Dunbar invaded England
behind him, plundering castles as far south as Newcastle. In 1388, Dunbar accompanied Douglas on an invasion into
England following the ending of a short truce, and in response to English border raiding. Although this foray was
considered a success, Douglas was killed at the Battle of Otterburn, and Dunbar had to lead the army home. In 1399,
Dunbar’s daughter Elizabeth was betrothed to David, Duke of Rothesay, the heir to the throne. However, the new Earl of
Douglas, Archibald the Grim, resenting this honour, protested, and with the backing of the Robert, Duke of Albany, the
King’s brother, had Elizabeth replaced by his own daughter. For this slight, Dunbar renounced his allegiance to Robert III
and left for England, where he obtained the favour of Henry IV, fighting for him against the Scots at the Battle of
Homildon Hill, where Douglas was taken prisoner, and aiding him in putting down the Percy revolt, for which he was
handed considerable estates in England. In 1408, Dunbar was reconciled with Douglas and returned to Scotland, where,
due to his close contacts with the English throne, he was regularly used as an envoy.
11th Earl of Dunbar & March, George, b.c.1370, a.1416, d.1455-1457
Son of the 10th Earl and Christian Seton. He was a mature man on his father’s death, having been engaged in various
public tasks as heir to the title, including acting as a Commissioner in the release of Albany’s son Murdoch from the Tower
436

of London. At Albany’s death in 1421, Dunbar was part of the embassy sent to negotiate for the release of the King James I
from English captivity, and he was also present at the Coronation at Scone in 1424. For the next few years he was heavily
involved in negotiating various truces with the English, but the simmering resentment of the Crown and other nobles
towards him because of his wealth and close associations with England ended in a plan to seize his estates. He was arrested
and charges of treason brought against him for holding titles and lands forfeited by his father. Although these were trumped
up, he had no option but to concede defeat, and retired to one of his manors in England.

Mawr, king of Gwynedd, died in 878. Although he was an important Welsh king, it is not really appropriate to call him the
"first K ing of Wales", for there were large parts of Wales over which he did not rule. Most sources give the name of
Rhodri's wife as Angharad, heiress of Ceredigion , and give his mother as Nest, heiress of Powys, but Patrick SimsWilliams [in the article "Historical Need and Literary Narrative: a Caveat from Ninth-Centur y Wales", Welsh History
Review, vol. 17 (1994), pp. 1-40] has recently argued ( conclusively, in my opinion) that neither Nest nor Angharad ever
existed, and t hat they were inventions of later genealogists who wanted to give Rhodri's fami ly a line of descent from the
earlier kings of Powys and Ceredigion. TITL Wo rld Family Tree Vol. 8, Ed. 1 AUTH Brderbund Software, Inc. PUBL

According to legend, the first Dinefwr Castle (right) was built by Rhodri Mawr - King of Wales in the 9th
century. It is unavoidable that attention should focus on those Welsh rulers who extended their power over much of Wales
in the centuries prior to the Norman conquest. They foreshadowed the attempts by the princes of Gwynedd in the 13th
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
437
century to create a unified Welsh state, and they matched contemporary developments in England, and similar, but later,
developments in Scotland. So, Rhodri Mawr (844-78) is presented as one who set a pattern for the future. He either ruled
or, by his personal qualities, dominated much of Wales.
Chroniclers of his generation hailed Rhodri ap Merfyn as Rhodri Mawr (Rhodri the Great), a distinction
bestowed upon two other rulers in the same century - Charles the Great (Charlemagne, died 814) and Alfred the Great
(died 899). The three tributes are of a similar nature - recognition of the achievements of men who contributed significantly
to the growth of statehood among the nations of the Welsh, the Franks and the English. Unfortunately, the entire evidence
relating to the life of Rhodri consists of a few sentences; yet he must have made a deep impression upon the Welsh, for in
later centuries being of the line of Rhodri was a primary qualification for their rulers. Until his death, Rhodri was
acknowledged as ruler of more than half of Wales, and that as much by diplomacy as by conquest.
Rhodri's fame sprang from his success as a warrior. That success was noted by The Ulster Chronicle and by
Sedulius Scottus, an Irish scholar at the court of the Emperor Charles the Bald at Liege. It was his victory over the Vikings
in 856 which brought him international acclaim. Wales was less richly provided with fertile land and with the navigable
rivers that attracted the Vikings, and the Welsh kings had considerable success in resisting them. Anglesey bore the brunt
of the attacks, and it was there in 856 that Rhodri won his great victory over Horn, the leader of the Danes, much to the
delight of the Irish and the Franks.
It was not only from the west that the kingdom of Rhodri was threatened. By becoming the ruler of Powys, his
mother's land, he inherited the old struggle with the kingdom of Mercia. Although Offa's Dyke had been constructed in
order to define the territories of the Welsh and the English, this did not prevent the successors of Offa from attacking
Wales. The pressure on Powys continued; after 855, Rhodri was its defender, and he and his son, Gwriad, were killed in
battle against the English in 878.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodri_the_Great
Rhodri the Great (in Welsh, Rhodri Mawr; occasionally in English, Roderick the Great) (c. 820–878) was the
first ruler of Wales to be called 'Great', and the first to rule most of present-day Wales. He is referred to as "King of the
Britons" by the Annals of Ulster. In some later histories, he is referred to as "King of Wales" but he did not rule all of
Wales nor was this term used contemporaneously to describe him.
Lineage & inheritance: The son of Merfyn Frych, King of Gwynedd, and Nest ferch Cadell of the Royal line of
Powys, he inherited the Kingdom of Gwynedd on his father's death in 844.
When his maternal uncle Cyngen ap Cadell ruler of Powys died on a pilgrimage to Rome in 855 Rhodri
inherited Powys. In 872 Gwgon, ruler of Seisyllwg in southern Wales, was accidentally drowned, and Rhodri added his
Kingdom to his domains by virtue of his marriage to Angharad, Gwgon's sister. This made him the ruler of the larger part
of Wales.
Resistance against Danes: Rhodri faced pressure both from the English and increasingly from the Danes, who
were recorded as ravaging Anglesey in 854. In 856 Rhodri won a notable victory over the Danes, killing their leader Gorm
(sometimes given as Horm).
In 876 Rhodri fought another battle against the Norse invaders on Anglesey, after which he had to flee to
Ireland.
Defeat and death: On his return the following year, he and his son Gwriad were said to have been killed by the
English under Alfred the Great, though the precise manner of his death is unknown. When his son, Anarawd ap Rhodri
won a victory over the Mercians a few years later, it was hailed in the annals as "God's vengeance for Rhodri".
Succession: Rhodri died leaving three sons:
His heir, Anarawd ap Rhodri, who became the king of Gwynedd;
His son Cadell ap Rhodri, who conquered Dyfed, which was later joined with Seisyllwg by Rhodri's grandson Hywel Dda
to become Deheubarth. Like his grandfather, Hywel would come to rule most of Wales; and
His son Merfyn ap Rhodri, who became the king of the Powys.

Maldred, brother of Duncan I "The Gracious" King of Strathclyde 1018-34 and King of Scots 1034-40 (for Maldred's
previous ancestry and a discussion as to what extent this may derive from Eochu Mugmedon, High King of Ireland in the
mid 14th century, see American Presidential Families, pp.40-41 and 45-46, Morris Genealogical Books, SA, 1994); feudal
Lord Allerdale; married Ealdgyth or Aldgyth, daughter of Uchtred, Ughtred, or Uhtred Earl of Northumberland or
Northumbria by his 3rd wife Elgiva or Aelgifu, daughter of Ethelred II "The Unready" King of England 979-1013 and
1014-16, and was probably killed in battle 1045 when trying to avenge his brother's murder by Macbeth. [Burke's Peerage]
Maldred, or Malcolm, the second son of Crinan, is believed to have become King of the Cumbrians when his elder
brother succeeded as King of Scots. There is no direct proof of this, and Fordun states that Cumbria was in 1034 bestowed
on Malcolm, afterwards Malcolm III, son of Duncan I. But he was only a child at that date, and it is more probable it was

his uncle, the older Malcolm, who was made ruler of Cumbria. Certainly he is found closely linked to that district, which
then included Strathclyde as well as Cumberland, by marriage relations and other ties. A recently discovered writ by his
son Gospatric, to be referred to later, suggests that he may have possessed in his own right the Allerdale district of
Cumberland. Little is known of Maldred's history, and his career was probably cut short in the same battle as that in which
his father was slain, in 1045. He married Ealdgith or Algitha, daughter of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland, by his wife
Ælgifu or Elgiva, daughter of Æthelred II, King of England. [The Scots Peerage III:240-241]

Crowned at Bath, 11 May 973, Age: 29, Bath Abbey, Bath, England, Edgar was crowned at Bath, but not until 973, in an
imperial ceremony planned not as the initiation, but as the culmination of his reign (a move that must have taken a great
deal of preliminary diplomacy).
Burial: Glastonbury Abbey, Glastonbury, Somerset, England
St. Edgar the Peacemaker, King of the English (AD 943-975)
King Edgar was the youngest child of King Edmund the Magnificent and St. Aelfgith. His mother died the year
after his birth and his father when he was only three. He was, therefore, fostered by Aethelstan Half-King, the Ealdorman
of East Anglia, and his wife, Aelfwinn. The family were keen supporters of monastic reform and Edgar's education was
therefore placed in the hands of the movement's mastermind, St. Aethelwold, Abbot of Abingdon.
In AD 955, Edgar's uncle, King Edred, died and his elder brother, the fourteen year old Edwig, became King.
However, when Edgar reached the same age two years later, the kingdom was divided and he was given the Northern
regions of Mercia and Northumbria, while Edwig retained Wessex. Edgar immediately recalled his uncle's advisor, St.
Dunstan, from exile and made him Bishop of Worcester, before his transfer to London. Edwig died in AD 959 and Edgar
became King of all England. Dunstan was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury and Edgar naturally associated himself
with the prelate's extension of monastic reforms. The establishment of English Benedictine monasteries across the country
became the central policy of Edgar's reign. Though hugely successful, it was not universally popular. Vast areas of land
were arbitrarily put under Church control, provoking considerable resentment which was to destabilize his son's reign.
Though a good king, Edgar was not overly religious. His sexual appetite was legendary and gave rise to a
number of stories. Soon after ascending the throne, he is said to have fallen for the beautiful daughter of a nobleman of
Andover (Hampshire). While visiting the town, he demanded that she enter his bed that night. Her parents were,
understandably, shocked and sent a maidservant to join the King in her place. After a long night of unbridled passion,
Edgar was disappointed to find that his new conquest hurried from his bed early the next morning. The deception was thus
revealed, as the girl explained that she must start work before the rest of the household arose. In a mad fury, the King
confiscated all his hosts' lands and made his bed-fellow their mistress. About AD 960, he married Ethelflaed Eneda (WhiteDuck), the daughter of a Hertfordshire nobleman named Ordmaer. She seems to have been some relation of Edgar's fosterfather, Aethelstan of East Anglia. They had one son, Edward, before the lady died, around AD 963. During this marriage,
the King was by no means monogamous and seduced a young nun, named Wulfthrith, from Wilton Abbey (Wiltshire),
carrying her off to Kemsing in Kent where their extended affair led to the birth of a daughter. The following year, Edgar
heard of another great beauty, Aelfthrith the daughter of the Devonshire Thegn, Ordgar. He sent his foster-brother,
Ealdorman Aethelwold of East Anglia to check her out; but the young man found her so stunning that he secretly married
her and settled in distant Devon. Hearing that his foster-brother had married, but not to whom, the King insisted the newlyweds visit him at Court. Discovering Aethelwold's duplicitous nature, Edgar took him out hunting in Harewood Forest
(Hampshire) and thrust a javelin through his back! After Ethelflaed's death, Edgar tried to persuade his lover, Wulfthrith, to
marry him but the relationship seems to have been somewhat one-sided and she fled back to the safety of the confines of
Wilton. He turned to Aethelwold's widow instead and the two were married in AD 964.
Though Edgar had almost certainly been crowned King of Wessex at Kingston-upon-Thames, early in his reign,
by AD 973, he wished to mark a new stage in the development of Anglo-Saxon kingship with a great coronation ceremony
on the Mercian-Wessex border at Bath. In this ancient Imperial city, he was officially declared King of the English. Then
he showed his extensive and effective military power, by marching his army north - swelled with Viking warriors - in a
great show of strength. His navy joined him in Chester where the kings of the north assembled to submit to his
overlordship: King Kenneth of Scots, King Malcolm of the Cumbrians, King Magnus of Man and the Isles, King Donald of
Strathclyde, Joint-King Hywel of Gwynedd, Joint-King Iago of Gwynedd, King Idwallon of Morgannwg and King
Sigefrith (possibly a deputy in Norse York). According to tradition, originating with Florence of Worcester, they rowed
King Edgar up River Dee, from the Royal palace to the monastery of St. John the Baptist.
King Edgar died on 8th July AD 975 and was buried in St. Dunstan's abbey at Glastonbury (Somerset) where he
was revered as a saint, presumably for his monastic reforms and the stability he brought to the country, rather than his
sexual conquests!
Edgar I the Peaceful or the Peaceable (c. Aug 7, 943 – July 8, 975) was the younger son of Edmund I of
England. His cognomen, "the Peaceable", was not necessarily a comment on the deeds of his life, for he was a strong
leader, shown by the seizure of the Northumbrian and Mercian kingdoms from his older brother, Edwy, in 958. Edgar was
held to be king north of the Thames by a conclave of his nobles, and the aspirational ruler set himself to succeed to the
English throne. With Edwy's death in October 959, Edgar immediately recalled Dunstan (eventually canonised as St.
Dunstan) from exile to have him made Bishop of Worcester (and the Bishop of London after, and finally the Archbishop of
Canterbury). The allegation Dunstan at first refused to crown Edgar because of disapproval for his way of life is a discreet
reference in popular histories to Edgar's mistress,[citation needed] Wulfthryth (later a nun at Wilton), who bore him a
daughter Eadgyth. Dunstan remained Edgar's advisor throughout his reign.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Edgar's reign was a peaceful one, and it is probably fair to say that it saw the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England
at its height. Although the political unity of England was the achievement of his predecessors, it was Edgar who saw to its
consolidation. By the end of Edgar's reign there was practically no likelihood of any recession back to its state of rival
kingships, and the division of its domains.
The Monastic Reform Movement that restored the Benedictine Rule to England's undisciplined monastic
communities saw its height during the time of Dunstan, Aethelwold and Oswald. However, the extent and importance of
the movement is still debated amongst academics.
Edgar was crowned at Bath, but not until 973, in an imperial ceremony planned not as the initiation, but as the
culmination of his reign (a move that must have taken a great deal of preliminary diplomacy). This service, devised by
Dunstan himself and celebrated with a poem in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle forms the basis of the present-day British
coronation ceremony. The symbolic coronation was an important step; other kings of Britain came and gave their
allegiance to Edgar shortly afterwards at Chester. Six kings in Britain, including the kings of Scotland and of Strathclyde,
pledged their faith that they would be the king's liege-men on sea and land. Later chroniclers made the kings into eight, all
plying the oars of Edgar's state barge on the River Dee. Such embellishments may not be factual, but the main outlines of
the "submission at Chester" appear true.
Edgar had several children. He died on July 8, 975 at Winchester, and was buried at Glastonbury Abbey. He left
two sons, the eldest named Edward, the son of his first wife Ethelfleda (not to be confused with Ethelfleda, Lady of the
Mercians), and Ethelred, the youngest, the child of his second wife Ælfthryth. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward.
From Edgar’s death to the Norman Conquest there was not a single succession to the throne that was not
contested. Although perhaps a simplification, Edgar’s death did seem to be the beginning of the end for Anglo-Saxon
England that resulted in three successful 11th century conquests, two Danish and one Norman.

Edmund I (Old English: admund) (922 – 26 May 946), called the Elder, the Deed-doer, the Just, or the Magnificent, was
King of England from 939 until his death. He was a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan. Athelstan died
on 27 October 939, and Edmund succeeded him as king.
Military threats
Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf III Guthfrithson conquered
Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the
god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally
Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to
be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conquered Strathclyde but ceded the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland in
exchange for a treaty of mutual military support. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful
relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began.
Louis IV of France
One of Edmund's last political movements of which we have some knowledge is his role in the restoration of Louis IV of
France to the throne. Louis, son of Charles the Simple and his English queen Eadgifu, had resided at the West-Saxon court
for some time until 936, when he returned to be crowned King of France. In the summer of 945, he was captured by the
Norsemen of Rouen and subsequently released by Duke Hugh the Great, who however, held him in custody. The
chronicler Richerus claims that Eadgifu wrote letters both to Edmund and to Otto I in which she requested support from her
son; Edmund responded to her plea by sending angry threats to Hugh, who however, brushed them aside.[1] Flodoard's
Annales, one of Richerus' sources, report:
“Edmund, king of the English, sent messengers to Duke Hugh about the restoration of King Louis, and the duke
accordingly made a public agreement with his nephews and other leading men of his kingdom. [...] Hugh, duke of the
Franks, allying himself with Hugh the Black, son of Richard, and the other leading men of the kingdom, restored to the
kingdom King Louis.[2] [3]”Death and succession
On 26 May, 946, Edmund was murdered by Leofa, an exiled thief, while celebrating St Augustine's Mass Day in
Pucklechurch (South Gloucestershire).[4] John of Worcester and William of Malmesbury add some lively detail by
suggesting that Edmund had been feasting with his nobles, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. He attacked the intruder in
person, but in the event, Edmund and Leofa were both killed.[5]
Edmund's sister Eadgyth, wife to Otto I, died (earlier) the same year, as Flodoard's Annales for 946 report.[6]
Edmund was succeeded as king by his brother Edred, king from 946 until 955. Edmund's sons later ruled England as:
Eadwig of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingdom of Kent from 957 until his death on 1
October 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his brother's death in 959, then king of England
from 959 until 975.

Saint Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury (d. 944) was the first wife of King Edmund (I) of England (r. 939-946), by whom
she bore two future kings, Eadwig (r. 955-959) and Edgar (r. 959-975). Like her mother Wynflæd, she had a close and
special if unknown connection with the royal nunnery of Shaftesbury (Dorset), founded by King Alfred,[1] where she was
buried and soon revered as a saint. According to a pre-Conquest tradition from Winchester, her feast day is 18 May.[2]
Family background
Her mother appears to have been an associate of Shaftesbury Abbey called Wynflæd (also Wynnflæd). The vital
clue comes from a charter of King Edgar, in which he confirmed the grant of an estate at Uppidelen (Piddletrenthide,
Dorset) made by his grandmother (ava) Wynflæd to Shaftesbury.[3] She may well be the nun or vowess (religiosa femina)
of this name in a charter dated 942 and preserved in the abbey's chartulary. It records that she received and retrieved from
King Edmund a handful of estates in Dorset, namely Cheselbourne and Winterbourne Tomson, which somehow ended up
in the possession of the community.[4]
Since no father or siblings are known, further speculation on Ælfgifu's background has largely depended on the
identity of her mother, whose relatively uncommon name has invited further guesswork. H. P. R. Finberg suggests that she
was the Wynflæd who drew up a will, supposedly sometime in the mid-10th century, after Ælfgifu's death. This lady held
many estates scattered across Wessex (in Somerset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire) and was well
connected with the nunneries at Wilton and Shaftesbury, both of which were royal foundations. On that basis, a number of
relatives have been proposed for Ælfgifu, including a sister called Æthelflæd, a brother called Eadmær and a grandmother
called Brihtwyn.[5]
There is, however, no consensus among scholars about Finberg's suggestion. Simon Keynes and Gale R. Owen
object that there is no sign of royal relatives or connections in Wynflæd's will and Finberg's assumptions about Ælfgifu's
family therefore stand on shaky ground.[6] Andrew Wareham is less troubled about this and suggests that different kinship
strategies may account for it.[7] Much of the issue of identification also seems to hang on the number of years by which
Wynflæd can plausibly have outlived her daughter. In this light, it is significant that on palaeographical grounds, David
Dumville has rejected the conventional date of c. 950 for the will, which he considers “speculative and too early” (and that
one Wynflæd was still alive in 967).[8]
Married life
The sources do not record the date of Ælfgifu's marriage to Edmund. The eldest son Eadwig, who had barely
reached majority on his accession in 955, may have been born around 940, which gives us only a very rough terminus ante
quem for the betrothal. Although as the mother of two future kings, Ælfgifu proved to be an important royal bed
companion, there is no strictly contemporary evidence that she was ever consecrated as queen. Likewise, her formal
position at court appears to have been relatively small-fry, overshadowed as it was by the queen mother Eadgifu of Kent. In
the single extant document witnessed by her, a Kentish charter datable between 942 and 944, she subscribes as the king's
concubine (concubina regis), with a place assigned to her between the bishops and ealdormen. By comparison, Eadgifu
subscribes higher up in the witness list as mater regis, after her sons Edmund and Eadred but before the archbishops and
bishops.[9] It is only towards the end of the 10th century that Æthelweard the Chronicler styles her queen (regina), but this
may be a retrospective honour at a time when her cult was well established at Shaftesbury.
Much of Ælfgifu's claim to fame derives from her association with Shaftesbury. Her patronage of the
community is suggested by a charter of King Æthelred, dated 984, according to which the abbey exchanged with King
Edmund the large estate at Tisbury (Wiltshire) for Butticanlea (unidentified). Ælfgifu received it from her husband and
intended to bequeath it back to the nunnery, but such had not yet come to pass (her son Eadwig demanded that Butticanlea
was returned to the royal family first).[10]
Ælfgifu predeceased her husband in 944.[11] In the early 12th century, William of Malmesbury wrote that she
suffered from an illness during the last few years of her life, but there may have been some confusion with details of
Æthelgifu's life as recorded in a forged foundation charter of the late 11th or 12th century (see below).[12] Her body was
buried and enshrined at the nunnery.[13]
Sainthood
Æ lfgifu was venerated as a saint soon after her burial at Shaftesbury. Æthelweard reports that many miracles
had taken place at her tomb up to his day,[14] and these were apparently attracting some local attention. Lantfred of
Winchester, who wrote in the 970's and so can be called the earliest known witness of her cult, tells of a young man from
Collingbourne (possibly Collingbourne Kingston, Wiltshire), who in the hope of being cured of blindness travelled to
Shaftesbury and kept vigil. What led him there was the reputation of “the venerable St Ælfgifu […] at whose tomb many
bodies of sick person receive medication through the omnipotence of God”.[15] Despite the new prominence of Edward
456
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
the Martyr as a saint interred at Shaftesbury, her cult continued to flourish in later Anglo-Saxon England, as evidenced by
her inclusion in a list of saints' resting places, at least 8 pre-Conquest calendars and 3 or 4 litanies from Winchester.[16]
Ælfgif u is styled a saint (Sancte Ælfgife) in the D-text of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (mid-11th century) at the
point where it specifies Eadwig's and Edgar's royal parentage.[17] Her cult may have been fostered and used to enhance the
status of the royal lineage, more narrowly that of her descendants.[18] Lantfred attributes her healing power both to her
own merits and those of her son Edgar. It may have been due to her association that in 979 the supposed body of her
murdered grandson Edward the Martyr was exhumed and in a spectacular ceremony, received at the nunnery of
Shaftesbury, under the supervision of ealdorman Ælfhere.[19]
Ælf gifu's fame at Shaftesbury seems to have eclipsed that of its first abbess, King Alfred's daughter
Æthelgifu,[20] so much so perhaps that William of Malmesbury wrote contradictory reports on the abbey's early history. In
the Gesta regum, he correctly identifies the first abbess as Alfred's daughter, following Asser, although he gives her the
name of Ælfgifu (Elfgiva),[21]while in his Gesta pontificum, he credits Edmund's wife Ælfgifu with the foundation.[22]
Either William encountered conflicting information, or he meant to say that Ælfgifu refounded the nunnery.[23] In any
event, William would have had access to local traditions at Shaftesbury, since he probably wrote a now lost metrical Life
for the community, a fragment of which he included in his Gesta pontificum:[24]
La tin textTranslationNam nonnullis passa annis morborum molestiam,defecatam et excoctam Deo dedit animam.Functas
ergo uitae fato beatas exuuiasinfinitis clemens signis illustrabat Deitas.Inops uisus et auditus si adorant tumulum,sanitati
restituti probant sanctae meritum.Rectum gressum refert domum qui accessit loripes,mente captus redit sanus, boni sensus
locuples
For some years she suffered from illness,
And gave to God a soul that it had purged and purifiedWhen she died, God brought lustre to her blessed remainsIn his
clemency with countless miracles.If a blind man or a deaf worship at her tomb,They are restored to health and prove the
saint's merits.He who went there lame comes home firm of step,The madman returns sane, rich in good sense.[25]

The role of Dunstan and Odo in the persecution of Queen Elgiva is understated. Elgiva was within exactly nine degrees of
consanguinity of Edwy, for which reason the marriage was annulled. She was also his foster sister and the sister of
Aethelweard the Historian. Edgar also married the daughter of his foster father, Athelstan Half-King, to whom he was
related in exactly the same degree. Elgiva was disfigured and sold into slavery in Ireland, where they took pity upon her
and she returned to England to find Edwy once more but was ambushed and murdered. Edwy died shortly after in
circumstances which have never been explained. In the accession of Edgar, Dunstan attained such a position of dominance
that he was de facto King of England- which he was by heredity as senior direct descendant of King Ethelred I. Given this
position it is impossible to believe that the shameful treatment of Edwy and Elgiva were not by his knowledge and consent.
Dunstan showed his dominance by refusing to allow King Edgar to be crowned until he had reigned for seven years as
penance for murdering his foster brother in order to take his wife- somewhat more serious an offence than Edwy's
pecadillo. Dunstan's championing of the Benedictine cause, and celibacy of the priesthood and displacing of married
priests, split the country almost to the point of civil war, since armed followers of Bryhtnoth turned out to protect the
monasteries in East Anglia.

899 -924, King of England
Burial: Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire, England
Edward the Elder (Old English: adweard se Ieldra) (c. 870 – 17 July 924) was an Anglo-Saxon English king.
He became king in 899 upon the death of his father, Alfred the Great (Ælfr d se Gr ata). His court was at Winchester,
previously the capital of Wessex. He captured the eastern Midlands and East Anglia from the Danes in 917 and became
ruler of Mercia in 918 upon the death of Æthelflæd, his sister.
All but two of his charters give his title as "king of the Anglo-Saxons" (Anglorum Saxonum rex).[1] He was the
second king of the Anglo-Saxons as this title was created by Alfred.[1] Edward's coinage reads "EADVVEARD REX."[2]
The chroniclers record that all England "accepted Edward as lord" in 920.[3] But the fact that York continued to produce
its own coinage suggests that Edward's authority was not accepted in Northumbria.[4] Edward's eponym "the Elder" was
first used in Wulfstan's Life of St Æthelwold (tenth century) to distinguish him from the later King Edward the Martyr.
Ætheling
Of the five children born to Alfred and Eahlswith who survived infancy, Edward was the second-born and the
elder son. Edward's name was a new one among the West Saxon ruling family. His siblings were named for their father and
other previous kings, but Edward was perhaps named for his maternal grandmother Eadburh, of Mercian origin and
possibly a kinswoman of Mercian kings Coenwulf and Ceolwulf. Edward's birth cannot be certainly dated. His parents
married in 868 and his eldest sibling Æthelflæd was born soon afterwards as she was herself married in 883. Edward was
probably born rather later, in the 870s, and probably between 874 and 877. [5]
Asser's Life of King Alfred reports that Edward was educated at court together with his youngest sister
Ælfthryth. His second sister, Æthelgifu, was intended for a life in religion from an early age, perhaps due to ill health, and
was later abbess of Shaftesbury. The youngest sibling, Æthelweard, was educated at a court school where he learned Latin,
which suggests that he too was intended for a religious life. Edward and Ælfthryth, however, while they learned Old
English, received a courtly education, and Asser refers to their taking part in the "pursuits of this present life which are
appropriate to the nobility".[6]
The first appearance of Edward, called filius regis, the king's son in the sources is in 892, in a charter granting
land at North Newnton, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, to ealdorman Æthelhelm, where he is called filius regis, the king's
son.[7] Although he was the reigning king's elder son, Edward was not certain to succeed his father. Until the 890s, the
obvious heirs to the throne were Edward's cousins Æthelwold and Æthelhelm, sons of Æthelred, Alfred's older brother and
predecessor as king. Æthelwold and Æthelhelm were around ten years older than Edward. Æthelhelm disappears from view
in the 890s, seemingly dead, but a charter probably from that decade shows Æthelwold witnessing before Edward, and the
order of witnesses is generally believed to relate to their status.[8] As well as his greater age and experience, Æthelwold
may have had another advantage over Edward where the succession was concerned. While Alfred's wife Ealhswith is never
described as queen and was never crowned, Æthelwold and Æthelhelm's mother Wulfthryth was called queen.[9]
Succession and early reign
When Alfred died, Edward's cousin Æthelwold, the son of King Æthelred of Wessex, rose up to claim the
throne and began Æthelwold's Revolt. He seized Wimborne, in Dorset, where his father was buried, and Christchurch (then
in Hampshire, now in Dorset). Edward marched to Badbury and offered battle, but Æthelwold refused to leave Wimborne.
Just when it looked as if Edward was going to attack Wimborne, Æthelwold left in the night, and joined the Danes in
Northumbria, where he was announced as King. In the meantime, Edward is alleged to have been crowned at Kingston
upon Thames on 8 June 900 [10]
In 901, Æthelwold came with a fleet to Essex, and encouraged the Danes in East Anglia to rise up. In the
following year, he attacked Cricklade and Braydon. Edward arrived with an army, and after several marches, the two sides
met at the Battle of Holme. Æthelwold and King Eohric of the East Anglian Danes were killed in the battle.
Relations with the North proved problematic for Edward for several more years. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
mentions that he made peace with the East Anglian and Northumbrian Danes "of necessity". There is also a mention of the
regaining of Chester in 907, which may be an indication that the city was taken in battle.[11]
464
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
In 909, Edward sent an army to harass Northumbria. In the following year, the Northumbrians retaliated by
attacking Mercia, but they were met by the combined Mercian and West Saxon army at the Battle of Tettenhall, where the
Northumbrian Danes were destroyed. From that point, they never raided south of the River Humber.
Edward then began the construction of a number of fortresses (burhs), at Hertford, Witham and Bridgnorth. He
is also said to have built a fortress at Scergeat, but that location has not been identified. This series of fortresses kept the
Danes at bay. Other forts were built at Tamworth, Stafford, Eddisbury and Warwick.
Achievements
Edward extended the control of Wessex over the whole of Mercia, East Anglia and Essex, conquering lands
occupied by the Danes and bringing the residual autonomy of Mercia to an end in 918, after the death of his sister,
Æthelflæd. Ætheflæd's daughter, Ælfwynn, was named as her successor, but Edward deposed her, bringing Mercia under
his direct control. He had already annexed the cities of London and Oxford and the surrounding lands of Oxfordshire and
Middlesex in 911. By 918, all of the Danes south of the Humber had submitted to him. By the end of his reign, the Norse,
the Scots and the Welsh had acknowledged him as "father and lord".[12] This recognition of Edward's overlordship in
Scotland led to his successors' claims of suzerainty over that Kingdom.
Edward reorganized the Church in Wessex, creating new bishoprics at Ramsbury and Sonning, Wells and
Crediton. Despite this, there is little indication that Edward was particularly religious. In fact, the Pope delivered a
reprimand to him to pay more attention to his religious responsibilities.[13]
He died leading an army against a Welsh-Mercian rebellion, on 17 July 924 at Farndon-Upon-Dee and was
buried in the New Minster in Winchester, Hampshire, which he himself had established in 901. After the Norman
Conquest, the minster was replaced by Hyde Abbey to the north of the city and Edward's body was transferred there. His
last resting place is currently marked by a cross-inscribed stone slab within the outline of the old abbey marked out in a
public park.
The portrait included here is imaginary and was drawn together with portraits of other Anglo-Saxon monarchs
by an unknown artist in the 18th century. Edward's eponym the Elder was first used in the 10th century, in Wulfstan's Life
of St Æthelwold, to distinguish him from the later King Edward the Martyr.
Family
Edward had four siblings, including Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, and Ælfthryth, Countess of Flanders.
King Edward had about fourteen children from three marriages, and may have had illegitimate children too.
Edward first married Ecgwynn around 893 and they became the parents of the future King Athelstan and a
daughter who married Sihtric Cáech, King of Dublin and York in 926. Nothing is known about Ecgwynn other than her
name, which was not even recorded until after the Conquest.[14][15]
When he became king in 899, Edward married Ælfflæd, a daughter of Æthelhelm, the ealdorman of
Wiltshire.[16] Their son Ælfweard may have briefly succeeded his father, but died just over two weeks later and the two
were buried together. Edward and Ælfflæd had six daughters: Eadgyth who married Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor; Eadgifu,
whose first marriage was to Charles the Simple; Eadhild, who married Hugh the Great, Duke of Paris; Ælfgifu who
married "a prince near the Alps", sometimes identified with Conrad of Burgundy or Boleslaus II of Bohemia; and two nuns
Eadflæd and Eadhild. A son, Edwin Ætheling who drowned in 933[17] was possibly Ælfflæd's child, but that is not clear.
Edward married for a third time, about 919, to Eadgifu,[16] the daughter of Sigehelm, the ealdorman of Kent.
They had two sons who survived infancy, Edmund and Eadred, and two daughters, one of whom was Saint Edburga of
Winchester the other daughter, Eadgifu, married Louis l'Aveugle.
Eadgifu outlived her husband and her sons, and was alive during the reign of her grandson, King Edgar.
William of Malmsbury's history De antiquitate Glastonie ecclesiae claims that Edward's second wife, Ælfflæd, was also
alive after Edward's death, but this is the only known source for that claim.

Halfdan the Black Gudrødsson (c. 810 – c. 860) (Old Norse: Hálfdan svarti, Norwegian: Halvdan Svarte) was
the father of first king of Norway, Harald Fairhair, and belonged to the House of Yngling. No contemporary sources
mention Halfdan, and the details of his life that are provided by later kings' sagas are considered semi-legendary by modern
historians. Although he has his own saga in Heimskringla, it lacks any skaldic verse, which is normally used by Snorri as
supporting evidence and this, combined with its rather legendary character, leads historians to be wary of seeing much
veracity in it.
Halfdan is mentioned in Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla (c. 1230), Fagrskinna (c. 1220), Ágrip (c. 1190) and
Historia Norwegiæ (late 12th century). The most elaborate story is found in the latest saga, Heimskringla. According to the
Latin Historia Norwegiæ, Halvdan was a king "in montanis" (in the mountains), which is usually equivalent to Oppland in
the Old Norse[1]. This conflicts with the version told inHeimskringla.
According to Heimskringla and Fagsrkinna, Halfdan was the son of King Gudrød the Hunter. Heimskringla also
names his mother, as Åsa, daughter of King Harald of Agder, and his half-brother as Olaf Geirstad-Alf. Heimskringla
relates that when Halfdan's father was killed, Åsa took the 1 year-old Halfdan and returned to Agder, where Halfdan was
raised. When he was 18 or 19 years old, Halfdan became king of Agder. He quickly began adding to his kingdom, through
political negotiation and military conquest. He divided the kingdom of Vestfold with his brother Olaf and, through military
action, persuaded King Gandalf of Vingulmark to cede half his kingdom.
Next, Halfdan subdued an area called Raumarike. To secure his claim to Raumarike, Halfdan first defeated and
killed the previous ruler,Sigtryg Eysteinsson, in battle. He then defeated Sigtryg's brother and successor Eystein, in a series
of battles. This established Halfdan's claim not only to Raumarike, but also to half of Hedmark, the core of Sigtryg and
Eystein's kingdom. These details are only mentioned in Heimskringla.
Fagrskinna and Heimskringla both agree that Halfdan's first wife was Ragnhild, daughter of King Harald
Gulskeg (Goldbeard) of Sogn. Halfdan and Ragnhild had a son named "Harald" after his grandfather, and they sent him to
be raised at his grandfather's court. Harald Gulskeg, being elderly, named his grandson as his successor, shortly before his
death. Ragnhild died shortly after her father, and the young king Harald fell sick and died the next spring. When Halfdan
heard about his son's death, he travelled to Sogn and laid claim to the title of king. No resistance was offered, and Halfdan
added Sogn to his realm.
468
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
The narrative in Heimskringla then adds another conquest for King Halfdan. In Vingulmark, the sons of
Gandalf of Vingulmark, Hysing,Helsing, and Hake, attempted to ambush Halfdan at night, but he escaped into the forest.
After raising an army, he returned to defeat the brothers, killing Hysing and Helsing. Hake fled the country, and Halfdan
became king of all of Vingulmark.
According to Heimskringla, Halfdan's second wife was also named Ragnhild. Ragnhild Sigurdsdotter was the
daughter of Sigurd Hjort, king of Ringerike. She was kidnapped from her home by Hake, a "berserker" who encountered
her father in Hadeland and killed him. In turn, Halfdan had her kidnapped from Hake, so that he could marry her.
Fagrskinna does not mention any of these details, but calls Ragnhild the daughter of Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, who in
Heimskringlas version is her great-grandfather. Both sagas agree that Ragnhild and Halfdan had a son who was also named
Harald.
Heimskringla, Fagrskinna, Ágrip and Historia Norwegiæ all relate that Halfdan drowned when he fell through
the ice of lake Randsfjordenon his return home from Hadeland. His horse and sleigh broke though ice weakened by cattle
dung near a watering hole dug in the frozen lake. He was buried in a mound at Stein in Ringerike. Heimskringlas narrative
adds that each of the districts of his kingdom wanted to claim his grave, and that it was agreed to divide his body into four
pieces so each district could bury a piece of it, resulting in four different Halfdan's Mounds. According to this version, only
his head is buried in Ringerike.

According to the Ragnarssona þáttr, "Sigurd Hart. Of all the men ever seen, he was the fairest, and the biggest,
and the strongest. They were the same age, Gorm Knutsson and Sigurd Hart. When Sigurd was twelve, he killed the
berserk Hildibrand in a duel, and he single-handedly slew twelve men in that fight. After that Klakk-Harald gave him his
daughter, who was called Ingibjorg. They had two children: Gudthorm and Ragnhild." [5]
" Then Sigurd learnt that King Frodi, his father's brother, was dead. He went north to Norway and became king
over Ringerike, his inheritance. There is a long story told of him, as he did all manner of mighty deeds. But it's said of his
passing, that he rode out hunting in the wilderness, as was his custom, and Haki Hadaberserk came at him with thirty fully
armed men and they fought with him."[6] The name of his opponent means "Haki, berserker from Hadeland". Nothing else
is mentioned of his past. "Sigurd fell there, after first killing twelve men, but King Haki had lost his right hand and
received three other wounds besides. Afterwards Haki and his men rode to Ringerike, to Stein, where Sigurd's dwelling
was, and took away Ragnhild his daughter, and his son Gudthorm, and plenty of goods too, and carried them off home with
him to Hadeland. And soon after that, he had a great feast prepared and meant to celebrate his wedding, but it was put off
because his wounds weren't healing. Ragnhild was fifteen years old then, and Gudthorm fourteen. Autumn passed, and
Haki was laid up with his wounds till Yule."[7]
" At this time, King Halfdan the Black was staying at his estate in Hedmark. He sent Harek Gand with a
hundred and twenty men, and they marched over the frozen Lake Mjøsa to Hadeland one night and came the next morning
to King Haki's home and seized all the doors of the hall where the retainers were sleeping. And then they went to King
Haki's bedroom and took Ragnhild and Gudthorm, her brother, and all the treasure that was there, and carry it off with
them. They burnt all the retainers in their hall and then leave. But King Haki got up and got dressed and went after them for
a while. But when he came to the ice, he turned down his sword-hilt to the ground and fell on the point and met his death
there, and he's buried on the bank of the lake." [8]
" King Halfdan saw them coming over the ice with a covered wagon and guessed their mission had gone exactly
as he wished. He had a message sent then to all the settlements and invited to all the important people in Hedmark to a big
feast that very day. There he celebrated his wedding to Ragnhild, and they lived together for many years after. Their son
was King Harald the Fine-Haired, who was first to become sole ruler over the whole of Norway."[9]
The "Ragnarssona þáttr" was preserved in the Hauksbók by Haukr Erlendsson. The book is a collection of Old
Norse tales and was compiled in the early 14th century. [10]
[edit]Heimskringla
A similar account is given in the Saga of Halfdan the Black, part of the Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson. The
Kings' sagas included were written in the 13th century.
" Sigurd Hjort was the name of a king in Ringerike, who was stouter and stronger than any other man, and his
equal could not be seen for a handsome appearance. His father was Helge Hvasse (the Sharp); and his mother was Aslaug,
a daughter of Sigurd the worm-eyed, who again was a son of Ragnar Lodbrok. It is told of Sigurd that when he was only
twelve years old he killed in single combat the berserk Hildebrand, and eleven others of his comrades; and many are the
deeds of manhood told of him in a long saga about his feats. Sigurd had two children, one of whom was a daughter, called
Ragnhild, then twenty years of age, and an excellent brisk girl. Her brother Guthorm was a youth."[11] The account
slightly differs from the Ragnarssona þáttr when giving the age of Ragnhild at the time of Sigurd Hart's death. According
to Ragnarssona þáttr, she was fifteen years old, but according to Halfdan the Black's saga, she was twenty.
" It is related in regard to Sigurd's death that he had a custom of riding out quite alone in the uninhabited forest
to hunt the wild beasts that are hurtful to man, and he was always very eager at this sport. One day he rode out into the
forest as usual, and when he had ridden a long way he came out at a piece of cleared land near to Hadeland. There the

berserk Hake came against him with thirty men, and they fought. Sigurd Hjort fell there, after killing twelve of Hake's men;
and Hake himself lost one hand, and had three other wounds. Then Hake and his men rode to Sigurd's house, where they
took his daughter Ragnhild and her brother Guthorm, and carried them, with much property and valuable articles, home to
Hadeland, where Hake had many great farms. He ordered a feast to be prepared, intending to hold his wedding with
Ragnhild; but the time passed on account of his wounds, which healed slowly; and the berserk Hake of Hadeland had to
keep his bed, on account of his wounds, all the autumn and beginning of winter." [12]
" Now King Halfdan was in Hedemark at the Yule entertainments when he heard this news; and one morning
early, when the king was dressed, he called to him Harek Gand, and told him to go over to Hadeland, and bring him
Ragnhild, Sigurd Hjort's daughter. Harek got ready with a hundred men, and made his journey so that they came over the
lake to Hake's house in the grey of the morning, and beset all the doors and stairs of the places where the house-servants
slept. Then they broke into the sleeping-room where Hake slept, took Ragnhild, with her brother Guthorm, and all the
goods that were there, and set fire to the house-servants' place, and burnt all the people in it. Then they covered over a
magnificent waggon, placed Ragnhild and Guthorm in it, and drove down upon the ice. Hake got up and went after them a
while; but when he came to the ice on the lake, he turned his sword-hilt to the ground and let himself fall upon the point, so
that the sword went through him. He was buried under a mound on the banks of the lake."[13]
" When King Halfdan, who was very quick of sight, saw the party returning over the frozen lake, and with a
covered waggon, he knew that their errand was accomplished according to his desire. Thereupon he ordered the tables to
be set out, and sent people all round in the neighbourhood to invite plenty of guests; and the same day there was a good
feast which was also Halfdan's marriage-feast with Ragnhild, who became a great queen. Ragnhild's mother was Thorny, a
daughter of Klakharald king in Jutland, and a sister of Thrye Dannebod who was married to the Danish king, Gorm the
Old, who then ruled over the Danish dominions." [14]
" Ragnhild, who was wise and intelligent, dreamt great dreams. She dreamt, for one, that she was standing out
in her herb-garden, and she took a thorn out of her shift; but while she was holding the thorn in her hand it grew so that it
became a great tree, one end of which struck itself down into the earth, and it became firmly rooted; and the other end of
the tree raised itself so high in the air that she could scarcely see over it, and it became also wonderfully thick. The under
part of the tree was red with blood, but the stem upwards was beautifully green and the branches white as snow. There
were many and great limbs to the tree, some high up, others low down; and so vast were the tree's branches that they
seemed to her to cover all Norway, and even much more."[15]
" Queen Ragnhild gave birth to a son, and water was poured over him, and the name of Harald given him, and
he soon grew stout and remarkably handsome. As he grew up he became very expert at all feats, and showed also a good
understanding. He was much beloved by his mother, but less so by his father."[16]

According to the Ragnarssona þáttr, Ragnhild was a daughter of Sigurd Hart and his wife Ingeborg
("Ingibjorg"). Her paternal grandparents were Helgi the Sharp and Aslaug. Her maternal grandfather was Harald Klak. The
identity of her maternal grandmother is not mentioned. [1] The Heim skringla changes the name of Harald Klak's daughter
but the given lineage remains the same. "Ragnhild's mother was Thorny, a daughter of Klakharald king in Jutland, and a
sister of Thrye Dannebod who was married to the Danish king, Gorm the Old, who then ruled over the Danish dominions."
The "Ragnarssona þáttr" identifies Aslaug as a daughter of Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye and Blaeja. Aslaug was
also a twin sister ofHarthacnut of Denmark. [3] Blaeja is earlier identified as a daughter of Ælla of Northumbria. [4]
Historicity
According to "A History of the Vikings" (1968) by Gwyn Jones, "the written sources of the twelfth century and
thirteenth centuries must be regarded with scepticism or downright disbelief" when they portray the chieftains, jarls and
kings of Viking Age Norway. "Their world is that of tradition and folktale rather than history". Jones considers however
that the grandparents of Harald I of Norway "loom closer to the frontier of history". The assassination of Gudrød the
Hunter by command of his wife Åsa could be estimated to c. 840. Halfdan the Black was their son. [17] The account of the
assassination is given in the Ynglinga saga, also written by Snorri Sturluson. "They had a son by their marriage called
Halfdan; and the autumn that Halfdan was a year old Gudrod went upon a round of feasts. He lay with his ship in
Stiflesund, where they had been drinking hard, so that the king was very tipsy. In the evening, about dark, the king left the
ship; and when he had got to the end of the gangway from the ship to the shore, a man ran against him, thrust a spear
through him, and killed him. The man was instantly put to death, and in the morning when it was light the man was
discovered to be Aasa's page-boy: nor did she conceal that it was done by her orders."[18]
The saga of Halfdan the Black portrays its hero rising to the throne of Agder and Vestfold at the age of
eighteen-years-old (c. 858). "When he was eighteen years old he took his kingdom in Agder, and went immediately to
Vestfold, where he divided that kingdom, as before related, with his brother Olaf."[19] Olaf being Olaf Geirstad-Alf, a
paternal half-brother to Halfdan. Gwynn considers that accounts of how Ragnhild was married to Halfdan "are heavy with
the accoutrement of fictional saga". Wedding and bedding the rescued princess the same day of meeting her follows "the
highest tradition of the Sagas of Old Time"[20]
The identification of Ragnhild as a niece of Thyra is considered improbable due to chronology involved.
Ragnhild would be a 9th century figure while Thyra became Queen consort of Denmark in the 10th century. Gwynn
470
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
considers the saga of Halfdan the Black to be able to give some historical information but dismisses its second part,
covering events from the marriage with Ragnhild to his death, as based on "legend, folktale, and dreams." The dream of
Ragnhild has a clear implication, that "her progeny would flourish like a great tree with blood-red roots, green trunk, and
snow-white branches which would cover the whole of Norway and lands father afield." Such dreams of future greatness
were reported in tales concerning the parents of other conquerors. Gwyn points to a literary tradition of such "dreams",
dating at least to the surviving narratives about Cyrus the Great. Such tales would also exist about figures born later that
Harald I, such as Sigurd I of Norway.[21]

ÆLFRED, son of ÆTHELWULF King of Wessex & his [second] wife Osburga --- (Wantage, Berkshire 849-26
Oct 899, bur Winchester Cathedral, transferred to Hyde Abbey, Winchester, later called the New Minster [1567]). Asser
records the birth in 849 of Alfred, son of King Æthelwulf, at Wantage in Berkshire [1568]. "Ælfred filius regis" subscribed
charters of Kings Æthelwulf, Æthelberht, Æthelred I in 855, 862 (anachronistic), 864 and 868 [1569]. Asser records that in
853, his father sent him to Rome where Pope Leo IV baptised him [1570]. He succeeded his brother in 871 as ALFRED
King of Wessex. After the Danish victory at Wilton in May 871, King Alfred agreed to pay Danegeld for the first time as
the price for ceasing further attacks. After a second invasion of Wessex in 875/77, during which Wareham in Dorset and
Exeter were occupied, Alfred again bought peace in 877. He was forced to flee westwards in the face of a third invasion in
878 during which Chippenham was occupied, and took refuge at Athelney in Somerset. King Alfred's subsequent counteroffensive proved more effective, as he defeated the Danes under Guthrum at Edington in Wiltshire in May 878. After
mixed successes against the Danes in East Anglia in 885, and his occupation of London in 886, Alfred made a peace treaty
with Guthrum which lasted until 892. "Ælfred rex" subscribed a charter of "Æthelred dux et patricius gentis Merciorum"
dated 887 [1571]. The Danish offensive of 892/96 was less successful and no further Danish attacks on Wessex are
recorded after 896. King Alfred is famous for the fleet of ships built to his design in the hope of defeating the Danes while
they were still at sea, considered as forming the basis for the modern English navy. Having learnt Latin late in life, Alfred
was responsible for English translations of five Latin works between 892 and 899: Gregory the Great's Cura Pastoralis,
Orosius's History of the Ancient World, Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica, Boethius's De Consolatione Philosophae, and a
collection which starts with the Soliloquies of St Augustine. He was also responsible for a collection of laws, although
these were largely refinements of the works of his predecessors Ine King of Wessex, Offa King of Mercia and Æthelberht
King of Kent. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death of King Alfred on 26 Oct 899 [1572]. King Alfred, under his
will probably dated to [879/88], made bequests (in order) to "Edward my elder son", his unnamed younger son, his
unnamed eldest, middle and youngest daughters, "my brother's son Æthelhelm…my brother's son Æthelwold…my
kinsman Osferth" and Ealswith [1573].

Eadburh (-Winchester 5 or 8 Dec 905 [1574], bur Winchester, St Mary's Abbey, transferred to Winchester Cathedral).
Asser records the marriage in 868 of Alfred and "a noble Mercian lady, daughter of Athelred surnamed Mucil earl of the
Gaini…[and] Edburga of the royal line of Mercia" [1575]. Roger of Hoveden records the names of her parents, specifying
that her mother was related to the kings of Mercia. "Ealhswith mater regis" subscribed a charter of King Edward dated 901
[1576]. She founded the convent of St Mary's at Winchester, and became a nun there after her husband died. The AngloSaxon Chronicle records the death in [902/05] of "Ealhswith" [1577].

specifying that Ethelfled was married to "Ethered earl of Mercia" [1578]. "Egelfledam Merciorum dominam" is named by
Roger of Hoveden first in his list of King Alfred's daughters by Queen Ealhswith [1579]. "Æthelflæd conjux" subscribed a
charter of "Æthelred dux et patricius gentis Merciorum" granting land in Oxfordshire to the bishopric of Worcester dated
887 [1580]. "Æthelflæd" also subscribed the joint charter of King Alfred and "Æthelred subregulus et patricius
Merciorum" dated 889 [1581], the charter of "Æthered" dated 901, and three charters of King Edward dated 903 and 904,
in the last of which her name is listed immediately after her husband's and before "Æthelswitha regina" [1582]. Known as
the "Lady of the Mercians", she effectively governed Mercia after her husband's death "save only London and Oxford"
[1583]. Florence of Worcester records that she carried out a plan of fortress building to protect Mercia from the Danes, at
Bridgenorth in 912, Tamworth and Stafford in 913, Eddisbury Hill in Cheshire and Warwick in 914, and Chirbury and
Runcorn in 915 [1584]. Her Mercian troops played a decisive part in her brother's offensive against the Danes in the
Midlands in 917, conquering Derby and Tempsford where they killed the Danish king of the East Angles, and Leicester in
early 918 [1585]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death in 918 of Æthelflæd "12 days before midsummer at
Tamworth in the eighth year of her rule over Mercia as its rightful lord" and her burial at Gloucester St Peter's church

eldest son otherwise he may not have been deemed worthy of mention. According to Weir [1588], Edmund was crowned
in the lifetime of his father, but it is assumed that this is based on a misreading of the charter of King Alfred dated 898
which was subscribed by "Eadweard rex" [1589].

daughters of King Alfred & his wife, specifying that she was "Schaftlouiæ abbatissa" [1595]. A document which narrates

"Æthelswitha" by Asser [1599]. "Elftrudis" is named as wife of Count Baudouin II in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin
[1600]. This marriage represented the start of a long-lasting alliance between England and Flanders, founded on their
common interest of preventing Viking settlements along the coast. "Elstrudis comitissa…cum filiis suis Arnulfo et

Alfred the Great (Old English: Ælfr d, Ælfrǣd, "elf advice"; 849 – 26 October 899), was king of the AngloSaxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred is noted for his defence of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of southern
England against the Vikings, becoming the only English king to be given the epithet "the Great".[1] Alfred was the first
King of the West Saxons to style himself "King of the Anglo-Saxons". Details of his life are described in a work by the
Welsh scholar and bishop, Asser. Alfred was a learned man who encouraged education and improved his kingdom's legal
system and military structure.
Childhood
Alfred was born in 849 at Wantage, Oxfordshire (in the historic county of Berkshire). He was the youngest son
of King Æthelwulf of Wessex, by his first wife, Osburga.[2] In 868 Alfred married Ealhswith, daughter of Æthelred
Mucil.[3]
At the age of five years, Alfred is said to have been sent to Rome where, according to the Anglo-Saxon
Chronicle,[4] he was confirmed by Pope Leo IV who "anointed him as king". Victorian writers interpreted this as an
anticipatory coronation in preparation for his ultimate succession to the throne of Wessex. However, his succession could
not have been foreseen at the time, as Alfred had three living elder brothers. A letter of Leo IV shows that Alfred was made
a "consul"; a misinterpretation of this investiture, deliberate or accidental, could explain later confusion.[5] It may also be
based on Alfred's later having accompanied his father on a pilgrimage to Rome where he spent some time at the court of
Charles the Bald, King of the Franks, around 854–855. On their return from Rome in 856, Æthelwulf was deposed by his
son Æthelbald. With civil war looming, the magnates of the realm met in council to hammer out a compromise. Æthelbald
would retain the western shires (i.e., traditional Wessex), and Æthelwulf would rule in the east. King Æthelwulf died in
858; meanwhile Wessex was ruled by three of Alfred's brothers in succession.
Bishop Asser tells the story of how as a child Alfred won a prize of a volume of poetry in English, offered by
his mother to the first of her children able to memorise it. This story may be true, or it may be a myth intended to illustrate
the young Alfred's love of learning.
Under Æthelred
During the short reigns of his two eldest brothers, Æthelbald of Wessex and Æthelbert of Wessex, Alfred is not
mentioned. However, his public life began with the accession of the third brother, Æthelred of Wessex, in 866. It is during
this period that Bishop Asser applies to him the unique title of "secundarius", which may indicate a position akin to that of
the Celtic tanist, a recognised successor closely associated with the reigning monarch. It is possible that this arrangement
was sanctioned by Alfred's father, or by the Witan, to guard against the danger of a disputed succession should Æthelred
fall in battle. The arrangement of crowning a successor as royal prince and military commander is well known among other
Germanic tribes, such as the Swedes and Franks, to whom the Anglo-Saxons were closely related.
In 868, Alfred is recorded as fighting beside Æthelred in an unsuccessful attempt to keep the invading Danes
out of the adjoining Kingdom of Mercia.[4] For nearly two years, Wessex was spared attacks because Alfred paid the
Vikings to leave him alone. However, at the end of 870, the Danes arrived in his homeland. The year which followed has
been called "Alfred's year of battles". Nine engagements were fought with varying outcomes, though the place and date of
two of these battles have not been recorded. In Berkshire, a successful skirmish at the Battle of Englefield on 31 December
870 was followed by a severe defeat at the siege and Battle of Reading on 5 January 871; then, four days later, Alfred won
a brilliant victory at the Battle of Ashdown on the Berkshire Downs, possibly near Compton or Aldworth. Alfred is
particularly credited with the success of this latter battle. However, later that month, on 22 January, the English were
defeated at Basing and, on the 22 March at the Battle of Merton (perhaps Marden in Wiltshire or Martin in Dorset), in
which Æthelred was killed. The two unidentified battles may also have occurred in between.
King at war Early struggles, defeat and flight
In April 871, King Æthelred died, and Alfred succeeded to the throne of Wessex and the burden of its defence,
despite the fact that Æthelred left two under-age sons, Æthelhelm and Æthelwold. This was in accordance with the
agreement that Æthelred and Alfred had made earlier that year in an assembly at Swinbeorg. The brothers had agreed that
whichever of them outlived the other would inherit the personal property that King Æthelwulf in his will had left jointly to
474
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
his sons. The deceased's sons would receive only whatever property and riches their father had settled upon them and
whatever additional lands their uncle had acquired. The unstated premise was that the surviving brother would be king.
Given the ongoing Danish invasion and the youth of his nephews, Alfred's succession probably went uncontested. Tensions
between Alfred and his nephews, however, would arise later in his reign.
While he was busy with the burial ceremonies for his brother, the Danes defeated the English in his absence at
an unnamed spot, and then again in his presence at Wilton in May. The defeat at Wilton smashed any remaining hope that
Alfred could drive the invaders from his kingdom. He was forced, instead, to ‘make peace’ with them. The sources do not
tell what the terms of the peace were. Bishop Asser, spinning gold out of straw, trumpets that the 'pagans' agreed to vacate
the realm and made good their promise; and, indeed, the Viking army did withdraw from Reading in the autumn of 871 to
take up winter quarters in Mercian London. Although not mentioned by Asser or by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Alfred
probably also paid the Vikings cash to leave, much as the Mercians were to do in the following year.[6] Hoards dating to
the Viking occupation of London in 871/2 have been excavated at Croydon, Gravesend, and Waterloo Bridge; these finds
hint at the cost involved in making peace with the Vikings. For the next five years, the Danes occupied other parts of
England.[7] However, in 876 under their new leader, Guthrum, the Danes slipped past the English army and attacked and
occupied Wareham in Dorset. Alfred blockaded them but was unable to take Wareham by assault. Accordingly, he
negotiated a peace which involved an exchange of hostages and oaths, which the Danes swore on a "holy ring" associated
with the worship of Thor.[4] The Danes, however, broke their word and, after killing all the hostages, slipped away under
cover of night to Exeter in Devon. There, Alfred blockaded them, and with a relief fleet having been scattered by a storm,
the Danes were forced to submit. They withdrew to Mercia, but, in January 878, made a sudden attack on Chippenham, a
royal stronghold in which Alfred had been staying over Christmas, "and most of the people they killed, except the King
Alfred, and he with a little band made his way by wood and swamp, and after Easter he made a fort at Athelney in the
marshes of Somerset, and from that fort kept fighting against the foe".[4] From his fort at Athelney, an island in the
marshes near North Petherton, Alfred was able to mount an effective resistance movement, rallying the local militias from
Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire.
Alfred watching the cakes
A popular legend, originating from 12th century chronicles,[8] tells how when he first fled to the Somerset
Levels, Alfred was given shelter by a peasant woman who, unaware of his identity, left him to watch some cakes she had
left cooking on the fire. Preoccupied with the problems of his kingdom, Alfred accidentally let the cakes burn and was
taken to task by the woman upon her return. Upon realising the king's identity, the woman apologised profusely, but Alfred
insisted that he was the one who needed to apologise. Another story relates how Alfred disguised himself as a minstrel in
order to gain entry to Guthrum's camp and discover his plans. These stories emphasise not only the piety and Christian
humility attributed to Alfred, but also the desperate straits to which he may have been reduced.
This was the low-water mark in the history of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. With all the other kingdoms having
fallen to the Vikings, Wessex alone was still resisting.
[Counterattack and victory
In the seventh week after Easter [4–10 May 878], around Whitsuntide, Alfred rode to ‘Egbert’s Stone’ east of
Selwood, where he was met by "all the people of Somerset and of Wiltshire and of that part of Hampshire which is on this
side of the sea [that is, west of Southampton Water], and they rejoiced to see him".[4] Alfred’s emergence from his
marshland stronghold was part of a carefully planned offensive that entailed raising the fyrds of three shires. This meant
not only that the king had retained the loyalty of ealdormen, royal reeves and king’s thegns (who were charged with
levying and leading these forces), but that they had maintained their positions of authority in these localities well enough to
answer Alfred’s summons to war. Alfred’s actions also suggest a finely-honed system of scouts and messengers. Alfred
won a decisive victory in the ensuing Battle of Ethandun, which may have been fought near Westbury, Wiltshire. He then
pursued the Danes to their stronghold at Chippenham and starved them into submission. One of the terms of the surrender
was that Guthrum convert to Christianity; and three weeks later the Danish king and 29 of his chief men were baptised at
Alfred's court at Aller, near Athelney, with Alfred receiving Guthrum as his spiritual son. The "unbinding of the chrism"
took place with great ceremony eight days later at the royal estate at Wedmore in Somerset, after which Guthrum fulfilled
his promise to leave Wessex. There is no contemporary evidence that Alfred and Guthrum agreed upon a formal treaty at
this time; the so-called Treaty of Wedmore is an invention of modern historians. The Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum,
preserved in Old English in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (Manuscript 383), and in a Latin compilation known as
Quadripartitus, was negotiated later, perhaps in 879 or 880, when King Ceolwulf II of Mercia was deposed.[9] That treaty
divided up the kingdom of Mercia. By its terms the boundary between Alfred’s and Guthrum’s kingdoms was to run up the
Thames, to the Lea River; follow the Lea to its source (near Luton); from there extend in a straight line to Bedford; and
from Bedford follow the Ouse River to Watling Street. In other words, Alfred succeeded to Ceolwulf’s kingdom,
consisting of western Mercia; and Guthrum incorporated the eastern part of Mercia into an enlarged kingdom of East
Anglia (henceforward known as the Danelaw). By terms of the treaty, moreover, Alfred was to have control over the
Mercian city of London and its mints — at least for the time being.[10] The disposition of Essex, held by West Saxon
kings since the days of Egbert, is unclear from the treaty, though, given Alfred’s political and military superiority, it would
have been surprising if he had conceded any disputed territory to his godson.
Restoration of London, King of the English
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
475
For the next few years there was peace, with the Danes being kept busy in Francia. A raid on Kent in 884 or 885
close to Plucks Gutter, though successfully repelled, encouraged the East Anglian Danes to rise up. The measures taken by
Alfred to repress this uprising culminated in the taking (or more probably, retaking) of London in 886. Alfred apparently
regarded this as a turning point in his reign. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says that "all of the English people (all Angelcyn)
not subject to the Danes submitted themselves to King Alfred."[4] Asser added that "Alfred, king of the Anglo-Saxons,
restored the city of London splendidly ... and made it habitable once more."[11] Alfred's "restoration" entailed reoccupying
and refurbishing the nearly deserted Roman walled city, building quays along the Thames, and laying a new city street
plan.[12] It is probably at this point that Alfred assumed the new royal style 'King of the Anglo-Saxons.'
Further Viking attacks repelled
After another lull, in the autumn of 892 or 893, the Danes attacked again. Finding their position in Europe
precarious, they crossed to England in 330 ships in two divisions. They entrenched themselves, the larger body at
Appledore, Kent, and the lesser, under Haesten, at Milton also in Kent. The invaders brought their wives and children with
them, indicating a meaningful attempt at conquest and colonisation. Alfred, in 893 or 894, took up a position from which
he could observe both forces. While he was in talks with Haesten, the Danes at Appledore broke out and struck
northwestwards. They were overtaken by Alfred's oldest son, Edward, and were defeated in a general engagement at
Farnham in Surrey. They were took refuge on an island in the Hertfordshire Colne, where they were blockaded and were
ultimately forced to submit. The force fell back on Essex and, after suffering another defeat at Benfleet, coalesced with
Haesten's force at Shoebury.
Alfred had been on his way to relieve his son at Thorney when he heard that the Northumbrian and East
Anglian Danes were besieging Exeter and an unnamed stronghold on the North Devon shore. Alfred at once hurried
westward and raised the Siege of Exeter. The fate of the other place is not recorded. Meanwhile, the force under Haesten
set out to march up the Thames Valley, possibly with the idea of assisting their friends in the west. But they were met by a
large force under the three great ealdormen of Mercia, Wiltshire and Somerset, and forced to head off to the northwest,
being finally overtaken and blockaded at Buttington. Some identify this with Buttington Tump at the mouth of the River
Wye, others with Buttington near Welshpool. An attempt to break through the English lines was defeated. Those who
escaped retreated to Shoebury. Then, after collecting reinforcements, they made a sudden dash across England and
occupied the ruined Roman walls of Chester. The English did not attempt a winter blockade, but contented themselves with
destroying all the supplies in the neighbourhood. Early in 894 (or 895), want of food obliged the Danes to retire once more
to Essex. At the end of this year and early in 895 (or 896), the Danes drew their ships up the Thames and Lea and fortified
themselves twenty miles (32 km) north of London. A direct attack on the Danish lines failed but, later in the year, Alfred
saw a means of obstructing the river so as to prevent the egress of the Danish ships. The Danes realised that they were
outmanoeuvred. They struck off northwestwards and wintered at Cwatbridge near Bridgnorth. The next year, 896 (or 897),
they gave up the struggle. Some retired to Northumbria, some to East Anglia. Those who had no connections in England
withdrew back to Europe.
Military reorganisation
The near-disaster of the winter of 878, even more than the victory in the spring, left its mark on the king and
shaped his subsequent policies. Over the last two decades of his reign, Alfred undertook a radical reorganisation of the
military institutions of his kingdom, strengthened the West Saxon economy through a policy of monetary reform and urban
planning and strove to win divine favour by resurrecting the literary glories of earlier generations of Anglo-Saxons. Alfred
pursued these ambitious programmes to fulfill, as he saw it, his responsibility as king. This justified the heavy demands he
made upon his subjects' labour and finances. It even excused the expropriation of strategically located Church lands.
Recreating the fyrd into a standing army, ringing Wessex with some thirty garrisoned fortified towns, and constructing new
and larger ships for the royal fleet were costly endeavours that provoked resistance from noble and peasant alike. But they
paid off. When the Vikings returned in force in 892 they found a kingdom defended by a standing, mobile field army and a
network of garrisoned fortresses that commanded its navigable rivers and Roman roads.[13]
Alfred analyzed the defects of the military system that he had inherited and implemented changes to remedy
them. Alfred's military reorganisation of Wessex consisted of three elements: the building of thirty fortified and garrisoned
towns (burhs) along the rivers and Roman roads of Wessex; the creation of a mobile (horsed) field force, consisting of his
nobles and their warrior retainers, which was divided into two contingents, one of which was always in the field; and the
enhancement of Wessex's seapower through the addition of larger ships to the existing royal fleet. Each element of the
system was meant to remedy defects in the West Saxon military establishment exposed by the Viking invasions. If under
the existing system he could not assemble forces quickly enough to intercept mobile Viking raiders, the obvious answer
was to have a standing field force. If this entailed transforming the West Saxon fyrd from a sporadic levy of king's men and
their retinues into a mounted standing army, so be it. If his kingdom lacked strongpoints to impede the progress of an
enemy army, he would build them. If the enemy struck from the sea, he would counter them with his own naval power.
Characteristically, all of Alfred's innovations were firmly rooted in traditional West Saxon practice, drawing as they did
upon the three so-called ‘common burdens' of bridge work, fortress repair and service on the king's campaigns that all
holders of bookland and royal loanland owed the Crown. Where Alfred revealed his genius was in designing the field force
and ‘burhs' (boroughs), as these fortified sites were called, to be parts of a coherent military system. Neither Alfred's
476

reformed fyrd nor his burhs alone would have afforded a sufficient defence against the Vikings; together, however, they
robbed the Vikings of their major strategic advantages: surprise and mobility.
The burghal system; defence in depth
Alfred, in effect, had created what modern strategists call a defence-in-depth system, and one that worked.[14]
Alfred's boroughs were not grand affairs like the massive stone late Roman shore forts that still dot the southern coast of
England (e.g. Pevensey and Richborough 'Castle'). Rather, the borough defences consisted mainly of massive earthworks,
large earthen walls surrounded by wide ditches. The earthen walls probably were surmounted with wooden palisades,
which, by the tenth century were giving way to stone walls. (The Alfredian defences are well preserved at Wareham, a
town on the southern coast of England.) The size of the boroughs varied greatly, from tiny fortifications such as Pilton to
large towns like Winchester. Many of the boroughs were, in fact, twin towns built on either side of a river and connected
by a fortified bridge—much like Charles the Bald's fortifications a generation before. Such a double-borough would block
passage on the river; the Vikings would have to row under a garrisoned bridge, risking being pelted with stones, spears, or
shot with arrows, in order to go upstream. Alfred's thirty boroughs were distributed widely throughout the West Saxon
kingdom and situated in such a manner that no part of the kingdom was more than twenty miles, a day's march, from a
fortified centre. They were also sited near fortified royal villas, to permit the king better control over his strongholds. What
has not been recognised sufficiently, is how these boroughs dominated the kingdom's lines of communication, the
navigable rivers, Roman roads, and major trackways. Alfred seems to have had "highways" (hereweges--"army roads")
linking the boroughs to one another. An extensive beacon system to warn of approaching Viking fleets and armies was
probably also instituted at this time. In short, the thirty boroughs formed an integrated system of fortification.
The presence of well-garrisoned boroughs along the major travel routes of Wessex presented an obstacle for
Viking invaders, especially those laden with booty. They also served as places of refuge for the populations of the
surrounding countryside. But these fortresses were not mere static points of defence. They were designed to operate in
conjunction with Alfred's mobile standing army. The army and the boroughs together deprived the Vikings of their major
strategic advantages: surprise and mobility. It was dangerous for the Vikings to leave a borough intact astride their lines of
communication, but it was equally dangerous to attempt to take one. Lacking siege equipment or a developed doctrine of
siegecraft, the Vikings could not take these fortresses by storm. Rather, they reduced to the expedient of starving them into
submission, which gave the king time to come to their relief with his mobile field army, or for the garrisons of
neighbouring boroughs to come to the aid of the besieged town. In a number of instances, the hunter became the hunted, as
borough garrison and field force joined together to pursue the would-be raiders. In fact, the only recorded success Viking
forces had against boroughs in the ninth century occurred in 892, when a Viking stormed a half-made, poorly garrisoned
fortress up the Lympne estuary in Kent.
Alfred's burghal system was revolutionary in its strategic conception and potentially expensive in its execution.
As Alfred’s biographer Asser makes clear, many nobles were reluctant to comply with what must have seemed to them
outrageous and unheard of demands—even if they were for ‘the common needs of the kingdom’, as Asser reminded them.
The cost of building the burhs was great in itself, but this paled before the cost of upkeep for these fortresses and the
maintenance of their standing garrisons. A remarkable early tenth-century document, known as the Burghal Hidage,
provides a formula for determining how many men were needed to garrison a borough, based on one man for every 5.5
yards of wall. This provided a theoretical total of 27,071 soldiers, which is unlikely to have ever been achieved in practice.
Even if we assume that the mobile forces of Alfred were small, perhaps 3,000 or so horsemen, the manpower costs of his
military establishment were considerable.
Administration and taxation
To obtain the needed garrison troops and workers to build and maintain the burhs' defences, Alfred regularised
and vastly expanded the existing (and, one might add, quite recent) obligation of landowners to provide ‘fortress work’ on
the basis of the hidage assessed upon their lands.[15] The allotments of the Burghal Hidage represent the creation of
administrative districts for the support of the burhs. The landowners attached to Wallingford, for example, were
responsible for producing and feeding 2,400 men, the number sufficient for maintaining 9,900 feet of wall. Each of the
larger burhs became the centre of a territorial district of considerable size, carved out of the neighbouring countryside in
order to support the town. In one sense, Alfred conceived nothing truly new here. The shires of Wessex went back at least
to the reign of King Ine, who probably also imposed a hidage assessment upon each for food rents and other services owed
the Crown. But, it is equally clear that Alfred did not allow the past to bind him. With the advice of his witan, he freely
reorganised and modified what he had inherited. The result was nothing short of an administrative revolution, a
reorganisation of the West Saxon shire system to accommodate Alfred’s military needs. Even if one rejects the thesis
crediting the "Burghal Hidage" to Alfred, what is undeniable is that, in the parts of Mercia acquired by Alfred from the
Vikings, the shire system seems now to have been introduced for the first time. This is probably what prompted the legend
that Alfred was the inventor of shires, hundreds and tithings.
An English navy
Alfred also tried his hand at naval design. In 897[4] he ordered the construction of a small fleet, perhaps a dozen
or so longships, that, at 60 oars, were twice the size of Viking warships. This was not, as the Victorians asserted, the birth
of the English Navy. Wessex possessed a royal fleet before this. Alfred's brother King Athelstan of Kent and Ealdorman
Eahlhere had defeated a Viking fleet in 851, capturing nine ships, and Alfred himself had conducted naval actions in 882
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
477
and 884. But, clearly, the author of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and probably Alfred himself regarded 897 as marking an
important development in the naval power of Wessex. The chronicler flattered his royal patron by boasting that Alfred's
ships were not only larger, but swifter, steadier and rode higher in the water than either Danish or Frisian ships. (It is
probable that, under the classical tutelage of Asser, Alfred utilised the design of Grecian and Roman warships, with high
sides, designed for fighting rather than for navigation.) Alfred had seapower in mind: if he could intercept raiding fleets
before they landed, he could spare his kingdom from ravaging. In conception, Alfred's ships may have been superior, but in
practice they left a bit to be desired.[16] His ships proved to be too large to manoeuvre well in the close waters of estuaries
and rivers, the only places in which a 'naval' battle could occur. (The warships of the time were not designed to be ship
killers but troop carriers. A naval battle entailed a ship's coming alongside an enemy vessel, at which point the crew would
lash the two ships together and board the enemy. The result was a land battle on board the two lashed vessels.)
In the one recorded naval engagement in the year 897,[4] Alfred's new fleet intercepted six Viking ships in the
mouth of an unidentified river along the south of England. The Danes had beached half their ships, either to rest their
rowers or to forage for food. Alfred's ships immediately moved to block their escape to the sea. The three Viking ships
afloat attempted to break through the English lines. Only one made it. Alfred's ships intercepted the other two. Lashing the
Viking boats to their own, the English crew boarded the enemy's vessels and proceeded to kill everyone on board. The one
ship that escaped managed to do so only because all of Alfred's heavy ships became mired when the tide went out. What
ensued was a land battle between the crews of the grounded ships. The Danes, heavily outnumbered, would have been
wiped out if the tide had not risen. When that occurred, the Danes rushed back to their boats, which being lighter, with
shallower drafts, were freed before Alfred's ships. Helplessly, the English watched as the Vikings rowed past them. But the
pirates had suffered so many casualties (120 dead according to the Chronicle), that they had difficulties putting out to sea.
Two of the three ships were driven against the Sussex coast. The shipwrecked sailors were brought before Alfred at
Winchester and hanged.
Legal reform
Main article: Doom book
In the late 880s or early 890s, Alfred issued a long domboc or law code, consisting of his "own" laws followed
by a code issued by his late seventh-century predecessor King Ine of Wessex. Together these laws are arranged into 120
chapters. In his introduction, Alfred explains that he gathered together the laws he found in many 'synod-books' and
"ordered to be written many of the ones that our forefathers observed--those that pleased me; and many of the ones that did
not please me, I rejected with the advice of my councillors, and commanded them to be observed in a different way."[17]
Alfred singled out in particular the laws that he "found in the days of Ine, my kinsman, or Offa, king of the Mercians, or
King Æthelbert of Kent, who first among the English people received baptism." It is difficult to know exactly what Alfred
meant by this. He appended rather than integrated the laws of Ine into his code, and although he included, as had
Æthelbert, a scale of payments in compensation for injuries to various body parts, the two injury tariffs are not aligned.
And, Offa is not known to have issued a law code, leading historian Patrick Wormald to speculate that Alfred had in mind
the legatine capitulary of 786 that was presented to Offa by two papal legates.[18]
About a fifth of the law code is taken up by Alfred's introduction, which includes translations into English of
the Decalogue, a few chapters from the Book of Exodus, and the so-called 'Apostolic Letter' from Acts of the Apostles
(15:23-29). The Introduction may best be understood as Alfred's meditation upon the meaning of Christian law.[19] It
traces the continuity between God's gift of Law to Moses to Alfred's own issuance of law to the West Saxon people. By
doing so, it links the holy past to the historical present and represents Alfred's law-giving as a type of divine
legislation.[20] This is the reason that Alfred divided his code into precisely 120 chapters: 120 was the age at which Moses
died and, in the number-symbolism of early medieval biblical exegetes, 120 stood for law.[21] The link between the
Mosaic Law and Alfred's code is the 'Apostolic Letter,' which explained that Christ "had come not to shatter or annul the
commandments but to fulfill them; and he taught mercy and meekness" (Intro, 49.1). The mercy that Christ infused into
Mosaic Law underlies the injury tariffs that figure so prominently in barbarian law codes, since Christian synods
"established, through that mercy which Christ taught, that for almost every misdeed at the first offence secular lords might
with their permission receive without sin the monetary compensation, which they then fixed."[22] The only crime that
could not be compensated with a payment of money is treachery to a lord, "since Almighty God adjudged none for those
who despised Him, nor did Christ, the Son of God, adjudge any for the one who betrayed Him to death; and He
commanded everyone to love his lord as Himself."[22] Alfred's transformation of Christ's commandment from "Love your
neighbour as yourself" (Matt. 22:39-40) to love your secular lord as you would love the Lord Christ himself underscores
the importance that Alfred placed upon lordship, which he understood as a sacred bond instituted by God for the
governance of man.[23]
When one turns from the domboc's introduction to the laws themselves, it is difficult to uncover any logical
arrangement. The impression one receives is of a hodgepodge of miscellaneous laws. The law code, as it has been
preserved, is singularly unsuitable for use in lawsuits. In fact, several of Alfred's laws contradict the laws of Ine that form
an integral part of the code. Patrick Wormald's explanation is that Alfred's law code should be understood not as a legal
manual, but as an ideological manifesto of kingship, "designed more for symbolic impact than for practical direction."[24]
In practical terms, the most important law in the code may well be the very first: "We enjoin, what is most necessary, that
each man keep carefully his oath and his pledge," which expresses a fundamental tenet of Anglo-Saxon law.[25]
478
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Alfred devoted considerable attention and thought to judicial matters. Asser underscores his concern for judicial
fairness. Alfred, according to Asser, insisted upon reviewing contested judgments made by his ealdormen and reeves, and
"would carefully look into nearly all the judgements which were passed [issued] in his absence anywhere in the realm, to
see whether they were just or unjust."[26] A charter from the reign of his son Edward the Elder depicts Alfred as hearing
one such appeal in his chamber, while washing his hands.[27] Asser represents Alfred as a Solomonic judge, painstaking in
his own judicial investigations and critical of royal officials who rendered unjust or unwise judgments. Although Asser
never mentions Alfred's law code, he does say that Alfred insisted that his judges be literate, so that they could apply
themselves "to the pursuit of wisdom." The failure to comply with this royal order was to be punished by loss of office.[28]
It is uncertain how seriously we should take this; Asser was more concerned to represent Alfred as a wise ruler than to
report actual royal policy.
Foreign relations
Asser speaks grandiosely of Alfred's relations with foreign powers, but little definite information is available.
His interest in foreign countries is shown by the insertions which he made in his translation of Orosius. He certainly
corresponded with Elias III, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, and possibly sent a mission to India in honour of Saint Thomas the
Apostle, whose tomb was believed to lie in that country.[29] Contact was also made with the Caliph in Baghdad.[30]
Embassies to Rome conveying the English alms to the Pope were fairly frequent.[31] Around 890, Wulfstan of Haithabu
undertook a journey from Haithabu on Jutland along the Baltic Sea to the Prussian trading town of Truso. Alfred ensured
he reported to him details of his trip.
Alfred's relations with the Celtic princes in the western half of Britain are clearer. Comparatively early in his
reign, according to Asser, the southern Welsh princes, owing to the pressure on them from North Wales and Mercia,
commended themselves to Alfred. Later in the reign the North Welsh followed their example, and the latter cooperated
with the English in the campaign of 893 (or 894). That Alfred sent alms to Irish as well as to European monasteries may be
taken on Asser's authority. The visit of the three pilgrim "Scots" (i.e. Irish) to Alfred in 891 is undoubtedly authentic. The
story that he himself in his childhood was sent to Ireland to be healed by Saint Modwenna, though mythical, may show
Alfred's interest in that island.
Religion and culture
In the 880s, at the same time that he was 'cajoling and threatening' his nobles to build and man the burhs,
Alfred, perhaps inspired by the example of Charlemagne a century before, undertook an equally ambitious effort to revive
learning. It entailed the recruitment of clerical scholars from Mercia, Wales and abroad to enhance the tenor of the court
and of the episcopacy; the establishment of a court school to educate his own children, the sons of his nobles, and
intellectually promising boys of lesser birth; an attempt to require literacy in those who held offices of authority; a series of
translations into the vernacular of Latin works the king deemed 'most necessary for all men to know'; the compilation of a
chronicle detailing the rise of Alfred's kingdom and house; and the issuance of a law code that presented the West Saxons
as a new people of Israel and their king as a just and divinely-inspired law-giver.
Very little is known of the church under Alfred. The Danish attacks had been particularly damaging to the
monasteries, and though Alfred founded monasteries at Athelney and Shaftesbury, the first new monastic houses in Wessex
since the beginning of the eighth century,[32] and enticed foreign monks to England, monasticism did not revive
significantly during his reign.[citation needed] Alfred undertook no systematic reform of ecclesiastical institutions or
religious practices in Wessex. For him the key to the kingdom's spiritual revival was to appoint pious, learned, and
trustworthy bishops and abbots. As king he saw himself as responsible for both the temporal and spiritual welfare of his
subjects. Secular and spiritual authority were not distinct categories for Alfred. He was equally comfortable distributing his
translation of Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care to his bishops so that they might better train and supervise priests, and
using those same bishops as royal officials and judges. Nor did his piety prevent him from expropriating strategically sited
church lands, especially estates along the border with the Danelaw, and transferring them to royal thegns and officials who
could better defend them against Viking attacks.[33]
The Danish raids had also a devastating impact on learning in England. Alfred lamented in the preface to his
translation of Pope Gregory I's Pastoral Care that "learning had declined so thoroughly in England that there were very few
men on this side of the Humber who could understand their divine services in English, or even translate a single letter from
Latin into English: and I suppose that there were not many beyond the Humber either."[34] Alfred undoubtedly
exaggerated for dramatic effect the abysmal state of learning in England during his youth. That Latin learning had not been
obliterated is evidenced by the presence in his court of learned Mercian and West Saxon clerics such as Plegmund,
Wæferth, and Wulfsige. But one should not discount entirely Alfred's account. Manuscript production in England dropped
off precipitously around the 860s when the Viking invasions began in earnest, not to be revived until the end of the
century.[35] Numerous Anglo-Saxon manuscripts burnt up along with the churches that housed them. And a solemn
diploma from Christ Church, Canterbury dated 873 is so poorly constructed and written that historian Nicholas Brooks
posited a scribe who was either so blind he could not read what he wrote or who knew little or no Latin. "It is clear,"
Brooks concludes, "that the metropolitan church [of Canterbury] must have been quite unable to provide any effective
training in the scriptures or in Christian worship."[36]
Following the example of Charlemagne, Alfred established a court school for the education of his own children,
those of the nobility, and "a good many of lesser birth." There they studied books in both English and Latin and "devoted

themselves to writing, to such an extent .... they were seen to be devoted and intelligent students of the liberal arts."[37] He
recruited scholars from the Continent and from Britain to aid in the revival of Christian learning in Wessex and to provide
the king personal instruction. Grimbald and John the Saxon came from Francia; Plegmund (whom Alfred appointed
archbishop of Canterbury in 890), Bishop Werferth of Worcester, Æthelstan, and the royal chaplains Werwulf, from
Mercia; and Asser, from St. David's in southwestern Wales.
Alfred's educational ambitions seem to have extended beyond the establishment of a court school. Believing
that without Christian wisdom there can be neither prosperity nor success in war, Alfred aimed "to set to learning (as long
as they are not useful for some other employment) all the free-born young men now in England who have the means to
apply themselves to it."[38] Conscious of the decay of Latin literacy in his realm, Alfred proposed that primary education
be taught in English, with those wishing to advance to holy orders to continue their studies in Latin. The problem, however,
was that there were few "books of wisdom" written in English. Alfred sought to remedy this through an ambitious courtcentred programme of translating into English the books he deemed "most necessary for all men to know."[38] It is
unknown when Alfred launched this programme, but it may have been during the 880s when Wessex was enjoying a
respite from Viking attacks.
Apart from the lost Handboc or Encheiridion, which seems to have been a commonplace book kept by the king,
the earliest work to be translated was the Dialogues of Gregory the Great, a book greatly popular in the Middle Ages. The
translation was undertaken at Alfred's command by Werferth, Bishop of Worcester, with the king merely furnishing a
preface. Remarkably, Alfred, undoubtedly with the advise and aid of his court scholars, translated four works himself:
Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care, Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, St. Augustine's Soliloquies, and the first fifty
psalms of the Psalter. One might add to this list Alfred's translation, in his law code, of excerpts from the Vulgate Book of
Exodus. The Old English versions of Orosius's Histories against the Pagans and Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the
English People are no longer accepted by scholars as Alfred's own translations because of lexical and stylistic
differences.[39] Nonetheless, the consensus remains that they were part of the Alfredian programme of translation. Simon
Keynes and Michael Lapidge suggest this also for Bald's Leechbook and the anonymous Old English Martyrology.[40]
Alfred's first translation was of Pope Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care, which he prefaced with an introduction
explaining why he thought it necessary to translate works such as this one from Latin into English. Although he described
his method as translating "sometimes word for word, sometimes sense for sense," Alfred's translation actually keeps very
close to his original, although through his choice of language he blurred throughout the distinction between spiritual and
secular authority. Alfred meant his translation to be used and circulated it to all his bishops. The Consolation of Philosophy
of Boethius was the most popular philosophical handbook of the Middle Ages. Unlike his translation of the Pastoral Care,
Alfred here deals very freely with his original and though the late Dr. G. Schepss[41] showed that many of the additions to
the text are to be traced not to Alfred himself, but to the glosses and commentaries which he used, still there is much in the
work which is solely Alfred's and highly characteristic of his genius. It is in the Boethius that the oft-quoted sentence
occurs: "My will was to live worthily as long as I lived, and after my life to leave to them that should come after, my
memory in good works." The book has come down to us in two manuscripts only. In one of these[42] the writing is prose,
in the other[43] a combination of prose and alliterating verse. The latter manuscript was severely damaged in the 18th and
19th centuries,[44] and the authorship of the verse has been much disputed; but likely it also is by Alfred. In fact, he writes
in the prelude that he first created a prose work and then used it as the basis for his poem, the Metres of Boethius, his
crowning literary achievement. He spent a great deal of time working on these books, which he tells us he gradually wrote
through the many stressful times of his reign to refresh his mind. Of the authenticity of the work as a whole there has never
been any doubt.
The last of Alfred's works is one to which he gave the name Blostman, i.e., "Blooms" or Anthology. The first
half is based mainly on the Soliloquies of St Augustine of Hippo, the remainder is drawn from various sources, and
contains much that is Alfred's own and highly characteristic of him. The last words of it may be quoted; they form a fitting
epitaph for the noblest of English kings. "Therefore he seems to me a very foolish man, and truly wretched, who will not
increase his understanding while he is in the world, and ever wish and long to reach that endless life where all shall be
made clear."
Alfred appears as a character in the twelfth- or thirteenth-century poem The Owl and the Nightingale, where his
wisdom and skill with proverbs is praised. The Proverbs of Alfred, a thirteenth-century work, contains sayings that are not
likely to have originated with Alfred but attest to his posthumous medieval reputation for wisdom.
The Alfred jewel, discovered in Somerset in 1693, has long been associated with King Alfred because of its Old
English inscription "AELFRED MEC HEHT GEWYRCAN" (Alfred ordered me to be made). The jewel is about 2½
inches (6.1 cm) long, made of filigreed gold, enclosing a highly polished piece of quartz crystal beneath which is set a
cloisonné enamel plaque, with an enamelled image of a man holding floriate sceptres, perhaps personifying Sight or the
Wisdom of God.[45] It was at one time attached to a thin rod or stick based on the hollow socket at its base. The jewel
certainly dates from Alfred's reign. Although its function is unknown, it has been often suggested that the jewel was one of
the æstels—pointers for reading—that Alfred ordered sent to every bishopric accompanying a copy of his translation of the
Pastoral Care. Each æstel was worth the princely sum of 50 mancuses, which fits in well with the quality workmanship and
expensive materials of the Alfred jewel.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Historian Richard Abels sees Alfred's educational and military reforms as complementary. Restoring religion
and learning in Wessex, Abels contends, was to Alfred's mind as essential to the defence of his realm as the building of the
burhs.[46] As Alfred observed in the preface to his English translation of Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care, kings who fail
to obey their divine duty to promote learning can expect earthly punishments to befall their people.[47] The pursuit of
wisdom, he assured his readers of the Boethius, was the surest path to power: "Study Wisdom, then, and, when you have
learned it, condemn it not, for I tell you that by its means you may without fail attain to power, yea, even though not
desiring it".[48] The portrayal of the West-Saxon resistance to the Vikings by Asser and the chronicler as a Christian holy
war was more than mere rhetoric or 'propaganda'. It reflected Alfred's own belief in a doctrine of divine rewards and
punishments rooted in a vision of a hierarchical Christian world order in which God is the Lord to whom kings owe
obedience and through whom they derive their authority over their followers. The need to persuade his nobles to undertake
work for the 'common good' led Alfred and his court scholars to strengthen and deepen the conception of Christian
kingship that he had inherited by building upon the legacy of earlier kings such as Offa as well as clerical writers such as
Bede, Alcuin and the other luminaries of the Carolingian renaissance. This was not a cynical use of religion to manipulate
his subjects into obedience, but an intrinsic element in Alfred's worldview. He believed, as did other kings in ninth-century
England and Francia, that God had entrusted him with the spiritual as well as physical welfare of his people. If the
Christian faith fell into ruin in his kingdom, if the clergy were too ignorant to understand the Latin words they butchered in
their offices and liturgies, if the ancient monasteries and collegiate churches lay deserted out of indifference, he was
answerable before God, as Josiah had been. Alfred's ultimate responsibility was the pastoral care of his people.
Veneration
Alfred is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church and is regarded as a hero
of the Christian Church in the Anglican Communion, with a feast day of 26 October,[49] and may often be found depicted
in stained glass in Church of England parish churches.
Family
In 868, Alfred married Ealhswith, daughter of Ealdorman of the Gaini (who is also known as Aethelred Mucil),
who was from the Gainsborough region of Lincolnshire. She appears to have been the maternal granddaughter of a King of
Mercia. They had five or six children together, including Edward the Elder, who succeeded his father as king, Æthelflæd,
who would become Queen of Mercia in her own right, and Ælfthryth who married Baldwin II the Count of Flanders. His
mother was Osburga daughter of Oslac of the Isle of Wight, Chief Butler of England. Asser, in his Vita Ælfredi asserts that
this shows his lineage from the Jutes of the Isle of Wight. This is unlikely as Bede tells us that they were all slaughtered by
the Saxons under Cædwalla. However, ironically Alfred could trace his line via the House of Wessex itself, from King
Wihtred of Kent, whose mother was the sister of the last island king, Arwald. In 2008 a skeleton believed to be that of
Queen Eadgyth, granddaughter of Alfred the Great was found in Magdeburg Cathedral in Germany. If confirmed, these
remains may belong to one of the earliest members of the English royal family.[50]

Alfred died on 26 October. The actual year is not certain, but it was not necessarily 901 as stated in the AngloSaxon Chronicle.[4] How he died is unknown, although he suffered throughout his life with a painful and unpleasant
illness - possibly Crohn's disease, which seems to have been inherited by his grandson King Edred. He was originally
buried temporarily in the Old Minster in Winchester, then moved to the New Minster (perhaps built especially to receive
his body). When the New Minster moved to Hyde, a little north of the city, in 1110, the monks transferred to Hyde Abbey
along with Alfred's body and those of his wife and children. Soon after the dissolution of the abbey in 1539, during the
reign of Henry VIII, the church was demolished, leaving the graves intact.[51] The royal graves and many others were
probably rediscovered by chance in 1788 when a prison was being constructed by convicts on the site. Coffins were
stripped of lead, bones were scattered and lost, and no identifiable remains of Alfred have subsequently been found.
Further excavations in 1866 and 1897 were inconclusive

Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse: Guðrǫ ðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Veidekonge) was a semi-legendary king in
south-east Norway, during the early Viking Age. He is mentioned in the skaldic poem Ynglingatal. Snorri Sturluson
elaborates on Gudrød's story inHeimskringla, written c. 1230; however, this is not considered to be a historical account by
modern historians. The following account is taken from Heimskringla.
484
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
Gudrød was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling and Liv Dagsdotter of Vestmar. He married Alfhild, a
daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv, and
inherited half the province ofVingulmark. They had a son, Olaf Gudrødsson.
When Alfhild died, Gudrød sent his warriors to Agder and its king, Harald, to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa.
However, Harald Granraude declined, so Gudrød decided to take his daughter by force.
They arrived at night. When Harald realised that he was being attacked, he assembled his men and fought well, but died
together with his son Gyrd. Gudrød carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named
Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black.
In the fall, when Halfdan was a year old, Gudrød was having at a feast in Stiflesund. He was very drunk and in the evening,
as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear through Gudrød, killing him. Gudrød's men
instantly killed the assassin, who turned out to be Åsa's page-boy. Åsa admitted that the page-boy had acted on her behalf.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigurd Hart or Sigurd Hjort was a legendary king of Ringerike in Norway, who appears in Ragnarssona þáttr
and in Halfdan the Black's saga.
Ragnarssona þáttr informs that he was the son of Helgi the Sharp (the great-great-grandson of king Ring of
Ringerike) of the Daglingdynasty and Aslaug. She was the daughter of Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye (one of Ragnar Lodbrok's
sons) and Blaeja, the daughter of kingAelle II of Northumbria. When Sigurd Hart was only twelve years old he slew a
berserker named Hildibrand in a duel, and twelve other men. He married Ingeborg, the daughter of the Jutish chieftain
Harald Klak. Sigurd and Ingeborg had the children Guttorm and Ragnhild. When his uncle king Fróði of Ringerike died,
Sigurd went to Norway to succeed him as king.
Ragnarssona þáttr and Halfdan the Black's saga relate that a berseker from Hadeland named Haki killed Sigurd,
but lost a hand in the fight. Then Haki went to Sigurd's residence at Stein and took Sigurd's children Ragnhild and Guttorm.
Haki returned with the children and all the loot to Hadeland. Before Haki recuperated from his wounds and could marry the
15 or 20 year old Ragnhild, she was captured a second time, by Halfdan the Black. Halfdan and Ragnhild were the parents
of Harald Fairhair.

Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
501
Pepin (c. 635 – 16 December 714), commonly known as Pepin of Herstal, was a Frankish statesman and
military leader who de facto ruled Francia as the Mayor of the Palace from 680 until his death. He took the title, Duke and
Prince of the Franks, upon his conquest of all the Frankish realms.
The son of the powerful Frankish statesman, Ansegisel, Pepin worked to establish his family, the Pippinids, as
the strongest in Francia. He was able to realise his dreams by becoming Mayor of the Palace in Austrasia in 680. Pepin
subsequently embarked on several wars to expand his power. He united all the Frankish realms by the conquest of Neustria
and Burgundy in 687. In foreign conflicts, Pepin increased the power of the Franks by his subjugation of the Alemanni, the
Frisians, and the Franconians. He also began the process of evangelisation of Germany.
Pepin's statesmanship was notable for the further diminution of Merovingian royal authority, and for the
acceptance of the undisputed right to rule for his family. Therefore, Pepin was able to name as heir, his grandson,
Theudoald. But, this was not accepted by his powerful bastard son, Charles Martel, leading to a civil war after his death in
which the latter emerged victorious.
Background
Pepin, sometimes called Pepin II and Pepin the Middle was the grandson and namesake of Pepin I the Elder by
the marriage of Pepin I's daughter Begga and Ansegisel, son of Arnulf of Metz.He was also the Grandfather of Pepin the
short and Great-grandfather of Charlemange. That marriage united the two houses of the Pippinids and the Arnulfings
which created what would be called the Carolingian dynasty. Pepin II was probably born in Herstal (Héristal), modern
Belgium (where his centre of power lay), whence his byname (sometimes "of Heristal").
Rise to power
As mayor of Austrasia, Pepin and Martin, the duke of Laon, fought the Neustrian mayor Ebroin, who had
designs on all Francia. Ebroin defeated the Austrasians at Lucofao (Bois-du-Fay, near Laon) and came close to uniting all
the Franks under his rule; however, he was assassinated in 681, the victim of a combined attack by his numerous enemies.
Pepin immediately made peace with his successor, Waratton.
However, Waratton's successor, Berthar, and the Neustrian king Theuderic III, who, since 679, was nominal
king of all the Franks, made war on Austrasia. The king and his mayor were decisively defeated at the Battle of Tertry
(Textrice) in the Vermandois in 687. Berthar and Theuderic withdrew themselves to Paris, where Pepin followed and
eventually forced on them a peace treaty with the condition that Berthar leave his office. Pepin was created mayor in all
three Frankish kingdoms (Austrasia, Neustria, and Burgundy) and began calling himself Duke and Prince of the Franks
(dux et princeps Francorum). In the ensuing quarrels, Berthar killed his mother-in-law Ansfled and fled. His wife Anstrude
married Pepin's eldest son Drogo, Duke of Champagne, and Pepin's place in Neustria was secured.
Duke and Prince of the Franks
Over the next several years, Pepin subdued the Alemanni, Frisians, and Franconians, bringing them within the
Frankish sphere of influence. He also began the evangelisation of Germany. In 695, he placed Drogo in the Burgundian
mayorship and his other son, Grimoald, in the Neustrian one.
Around 670, Pepin had married Plectrude, who had inherited substantial estates in the Moselle region. She was
the mother of Drogo of Champagne and Grimoald II, both of whom died before their father. However, Pepin also had a
mistress named Alpaida (or Chalpaida) who bore him two more sons: Charles and Childebrand.
Death and succession
Just before Pepin's death, Plectrude convinced him to disinherit his bastards in favour of his grandson,
Theudoald, the son of Grimoald, who was still young (and amenable to Plectrude's control). Pepin died suddenly at an old
age on 16 December 714, at Jupille (in modern Belgium). His legitimate grandchildren claimed themselves to be Pepin's
true successors and, with the help of Plectrude, tried to maintain the position of mayor of the palace after Pepin's death.
However, Charles had gained favour among the Austrasians, primarily for his military prowess and ability to keep them
well supplied with booty from his conquests. Despite the efforts of Plectrude to silence her rival's child by imprisoning
him, he became the sole mayor of the palace—and de facto ruler of Francia—after a civil war which lasted for more than
three years after Pepin's death.

Saint Leudwinus, Count of Treves (Leodewin, Liutwin, Ludwin) (c. 660 - † 29. September, 722 in Reims)
founded an abbey in Mettlach. He was Archbishop of Treves and Laon.[1][2] His feast day is September 23. He is the
patron saint of Mettlach parish and his relics are carried by procession at the annual Pentacost celebration through the
town.[3]
He is the son of Saint Warinus, the paternal grandson of Saint Sigrada and his uncle was Saint Leodegarius.
Early life
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
503
Leudwinus was born a Frankish nobleman and was a member of one of the most powerful clans in Austrasia.[3]
He was the son of Warinus, Count of Poitiers and Gunza of Metz.[3][4] Lambert of Maastricht was his kinsman. His
Frankish name is Liutwin.[3]
Leudwinus spent his early life at the royal court of Austrasia.[3] He was styled Count of Treves.[3]
He received his education from his maternal uncle, Saint Basinus, Archbishop of Treves.[3] In 697, Leudwinus
signed the Deed of Echternach with his uncle.[3]
Marriage
Leudwinus was initially uninterested in an ecclesiastical career. Instead he married Willigard von Bayern, a
descendant of Charibert I, the Merovingian King of Paris.[3]
Mettlach Abbey
According to legend, it all began when Leudwinus went hunting near Saar. He grew tired and fell asleep under
the shade of a tree. As he slept the sun changed positions exposing him to its scorching hot rays. An eagle swept down and
sat on Leudwinus with its wings spread out. When Leudwinus awoke, his servant told him how the eagle had protected him
from being burned by the sun. Coincidentally, Leudwinus happened to be napping at the site of the Miracle Eagle near the
chapel of St. Denis of Paris. Leudwinus saw this as a God-sent sign to establish a Benedictine monastery at that site.
Dionysius the Chapel soon developed into a Christian missionary center. In its place now stands the parish church of St.
Gangolf in Mettlach.
When Leudwinus became a widower, he joined the monastery he founded at Mettlach as a simple monk.[2]
Bishop of Triers
In 697 Leudwinus was appointed coadjutor of his uncle Basinus von Trier.[5] In 698, he cofounded the
Echternack Abbey at Mettlach.[5]
When Archbishop Bastinus died on 4 March 705, Leudwinus succeeded him and was consecrated Archbishop
of Treve.[2][3][5][6] Leudwinus was also appointed bishop of Laon.[2][5] This made Leudwinus one of the most important
church dignitaries in the Frankish kingdom.
Death
Leudwinus died 29 September 722 at Reims.[3] He was succeeded as Archbishop of Treve by his son, Milo,
who brought his father's remains to Treve to be buried. However local customs prevented this and Leudwinus' family
decided to let the dead saint choose his own place of burial. His coffin was placed alone on a ship that was sailed by itself,
first to Moselle, then Saar and finally docked at Mettlach where the church bells began to ring.
Leudwinus was buried in St. Mary's Church at the Abbey at Mettlach.[1][3] In 990, St. Mary's Church was
replaced by a new structure called the Old Tower, the oldest preserved stone building in Saar.
In 1247, Leudwinus' relics were transferred to the newly constructed Leudwinus Chapel (Liutwinuskapelle).
About 200 years later, his remains were reburied again in a new chapel connected to the Church at the Abbey. During the
French Revolution, the monastery was purchased by the Boch family. He had the building demolished and built Liutwinus
Cathedral in Mettlach, where the relics of the saint are located today.
Reports of miracles at Leudwinus' grave in Mettlach made it a popular pilgrimage site over the centuries.[1]
Records from Leudwinus' time as bishop are collected in the Gesta Treverorum.
Feast Day of St. Leudwinus
Leudwinus' original feast day was September 29, the day of his death. However this is also the feast day of
Saint Michael the Archangel. After the Second Vatican Council, the Feast of Saint Leudwinus was moved to September 23
and it's also the feast of his uncle, Saint Basinus.

Saint Begga (also Begue) (615 – December 17, 693) was the daughter of Pepin of Landen, mayor of the palace
of Austrasia, and his wife Itta. On the death of her husband, she took the veil, founded several churches, and built a
convent at Andenne on the Meuse River (Andenne sur Meuse) where she spent the rest of her days as abbess. She was
buried in Saint Begga's Collegiate Church in Andenne.
Some hold that the Beguine movement which came to light in the 12th century was actually founded by St.
Begga; and the church in the beguinage of Lier, Belgium, has a statue of St. Begga standing above the inscription: St.
Begga, our foundress. The Lier beguinage dates from the 13th century. More than likely, however, the Beguines derived
their name from that of the priest Lambert le Begue, under whose protection the witness and ministry of the Beguines
flourished.
Veneration
She is commemorated as a saint on her feast days, September 6 and December 17.

Saint Arnulf of Metz (c 582, Lay-Saint-Christophe, Meurthe-et-Moselle — 640) was a Frankish bishop of Metz
and advisor to the Merovingian court of Austrasia, who retired to the Abbey of Remiremont.
Arnulf was born to an important Frankish family at an uncertain date around 582. In his younger years he was
called to the Merovingian court of king Theudebert II (595-612) of Austrasia and sent to serve as dux at the Schelde. Later
he became bishop of Metz. During his career he was attracted to religious life, and he retired to become a monk. After his
death he was canonized as a saint. In French he is also known as Arnoul or Arnoulf.
Arnulf gave distinguished service at the Austrasian court under Theudebert II After the death of Theudebert in
612 he was made bishop of Metz. The rule of Austrasia came into the hands of Brunhilda, the grandmother of Theudebert,
who ruled also in Burgundy in the name of her great-grandchildren. In 613 Arnulf joined his politics with Pippin of Landen
and led the opposition of Frankish nobles against Queen Brunhilda. The revolt led to her overthrow, torture, and eventual
execution, and the subsequent reunification of Frankish lands under Chlothachar II.
Chlothachar later made his son Dagobert I king of Austrasia and he ruled with the help of his advisor Arnulf.
Not satisfied with his position, as a bishop he was involved in the murder of Chrodoald in 624, an important leader of the
Frankish Agilolfings family and a protégé of Dagobert.
From 623 (with Pippin of Landen, then the Mayor of the Palace), Arnulf was an adviser to Dagobert I. He
retired around 628 to a hermitage at a mountain site in the Vosges, to realize his lifelong resolution to become a monk and
a hermit. His friend Romaric, whose parents were killed by Brunhilda, had preceded him to the mountains and together
with Amatus had already established Remiremont Abbey there. Arnulf settled there, and remained there until his death
twelve years later.

Arnulf was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. In iconography he is portrayed with a rake in
his hand and is often confused in legend with Arnold of Soissons, who is a patron saint of brewing.
Shortly after 800, most likely in Metz, a brief genealogy of the Carolingians was compiled, modelled in style
after thegenealogy of Jesus in the New Testament. According to this source, Arnulf's father was a certain Arnoald, who in
turn was the son of a nobilissimus Ansbertus and Blithilt (or Blithilde), an alleged and otherwise unattested daughter
ofChlothar I. This late attribution of royal Merovingian descent at a time when the Carolingian dynasty was at the peak of
its power contrasts clearly with the contemporary Vita Sancti Arnulfi's failure to mention any such a connection: The Vita,
written shortly after the saint's death, merely states that he was of Frankish ancestry, from "sufficiently elevated and noble
parentage, and very rich in worldly goods"[1 ], without making any claims to royal blood. While modern historians
generally dismiss the later Carolingian genealogy as spurious[2 ], it constitutes an important link inChristian Settipani's
suggested line of unbroken descent from antiquity via Flavius Afranius Syagrius.
Arnulf was married ca 596 to a woman whom later sources give the name of Dode or Doda, (born ca 584), and
had children. Chlodulf of Metz was his oldest son, but more important is his second son Ansegisel, who married
Beggadaughter of Pepin I, Pippin of Landen.

under Chlotar II. About the same year, he became bishop. From 623, again with Pepin, now mayor of the Austrasian
palace, Arnulf was adviser to Dagobert I, before retiring (629?) to become a hermit. Arnulf's son Ansegisel married Pepin's

Cutha Cathwulf was the third son of Cuthwine and consequently a member of the House of Wessex. Although a
member of the direct male line from Cynric to Egbert, (see House of Wessex family tree), Coenred was never king due to
usurpations by junior branches of the family. He was born c. 592 and his death date is unknown.
His brothers were Cynebald and Cedda; his son was Ceolwald of Wessex; nothing more of his life is known.

From Wikipedia
Saint Gondulphus of Maastricht (also Gondolfus, Gundulfus, Gondulf, Gondon; born c. 524, died c. 6 July 607)
was the Bishop of Tongres and Bishop of Maastricht in the sixth century.
His predecessor, Monulphus (Monulf), transferred the seat of the bishopric from Tongeren to Maastricht, which
thenceforth was the actual residence of the bishops of Tongeren. However, the official title of the Bishop of Tongeren,
episcopus Tungrorum, was retained until the eleventh century, even when the episcopal see had been transferred by
Lambert of Maastricht from Maastricht to Liège.
Bishop Gondulphus is a somewhat enigmatic figure indeed, one is inclined to question whether he be not
identical with Monulphus. But the two saints must nevertheless be distinguished. Monulphus must have occupied the See
of Tongeren until the end of the sixth or the beginning of the seventh century, while a Bishop of Maastricht named
Betulphus was present at the Council of Paris in 614. Gondulphus, then, would be inserted between Monulphus and
Betulphus, at least if this Betulphus must not be identified with Gondulphus on the grounds that the case is analogous to
that of the episcopal list of Mainz, where Bertulfus and Crotoldus must be reckoned identical. Furthermore, the episcopal
lists of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, whose value is, however, not very great, ignore the historically attested
Betulphus, and make Gondulphus the immediate successor of Monulphus. The biographies of Gondulphus, which are
handed down to us from the Middle Ages, are merely an extract from the Vita Servatii of the priest Jocundus. They are
quite without value and are full of legends. If they are to be believed, Gondulphus endeavoured to rebuild the town of
Tongeren, which had been destroyed by the barbarian invasions. But heaven opposed his scheme, and miraculously
manifested its desire to the saint. Furious wolves fell upon the pagan colonists of this region, and devoured them before the
eyes of the horrified bishop. Thus has legend quite obscured the authentic history of St. Gondulphus, the fact of his
episcopacy at Maastricht being the only one that is authentic. According to local tradition he occupied the episcopal see for
seven years and died about 607. This last statement does not tally with his presence at Paris in 614, if he is to be considered
identical with the Betulphus who assisted at that council. In any case he was buried in the nave of the church of SaintServais at Maastricht, which had been magnificently restored by his predecessor, St. Monulphus.
The bodies of Monulphus and Gondulphus were solemnly exhumed in 1039 by the Bishops Nithard of Liège
and Gerard of Florennes, Bishop of Cambrai. An epitaph commemorating this event was afterwards misinterpreted, and
gave rise to a legend according to which the two saints arose from their tomb in 1039 in order to assist at the dedication of
the church of Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), and at the conclusion of the ceremony returned to their tomb to resume their
eternal sleep.
Together with St. Monulphus, St. Gondulphus is secondary patron of the city and church of Maastricht. His
feast is kept on 16 July or 17 June.[citation needed] The commemoration of the exhumation of 1039 is celebrated in
August.
St. Gondulphus is known to have been married to Palatina de Troyes, they had a son named Baudgise
D'Aquitaine II, who became Duke of Aquitaine, France.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuthwine was a member of the House of Wessex, son of Ceawlin of Wessex. After the deposition of his father
Ceawlin from the throne of Wessex in 592 he did not inherit the throne which passed to his cousin, Ceol.
Little more of Cuthwine is known, but it is known that he had three sons; Cynebald, born c. 585; Cedda, born c.
590, and Cutha Cathwulf, born c. 592. Through Cutha Cathwulf were ultimately descended the Kings of Wessex after the
line of Ceol became extinct in 672.

King of Wessex
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerdic_of_Wessex
Cerdic (from the early British name represented by modern Welsh Caradog) was the King of Wessex from 519
to 534. He was the founder of the kingdom of Wessex and is regarded as the ancestor of all its subsequent kings. (See
House of Wessex family tree).
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Cerdic landed in Hampshire in 495 with his son Cynric in three keels
(ships). He is said to have fought a British king named Natanleod at Netley Marsh in Hampshire and killed him thirteen
years later (in 508) and to have fought at Cerdicesleag (Charford, Cerdic's Ford[1]) in 519, after which he became first king
of Wessex. The conquest of the Isle of Wight is also mentioned among his campaigns, and it was later given to his
kinsmen, Stuf and Wihtgar (who had supposedly arrived with the West Saxons in 514). Cerdic is said to have died in 534
and was succeeded by his son Cynric.
The early history of Wessex in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is clearly muddled [2] and enters duplicate reports of
events. David Dumville has suggested that Cerdic's true regnal dates are 538-554. Some scholars suggest that Cerdic was
the Saxon leader defeated by the British at the Battle of Mount Badon, which was probably fought sometime between 490
and 518. This cannot be the case if Dumville is correct, and others assign this battle to Ælle or another Saxon leader.
It should also be noted that while Cerdic's area of operation was, according to the Chronicle, in the area north of
Southampton, there is also stronger archaeological evidence of early Anglo-Saxon activity in the area around Dorchesteron-Thames. This is the later location of the first West Saxon bishopric, in the first half of the seventh century, so it appears
likely that the origins of the kingdom of Wessex are more complex than the version provided by the surviving traditions.[3]
Some scholars have gone so far as to suggest that Cerdic is purely a legendary figure, and had no actual
existence, but this is a minority view. However, the earliest source for Cerdic, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, was put
together in the late ninth century; though it probably does record the extant tradition of the founding of Wessex, the
intervening four hundred years mean that the account cannot be assumed to be accurate.[4] [5]
Descent from Cerdic became a necessary criterion for later kings of Wessex, and Egbert of Wessex, progenitor
of the English royal house and subsequent rulers of England and Britain, claimed him as an ancestor.
Origins
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle provides a pedigree tracing Cerdic's ancestry back to Wōden and the antediluvian
patriarchs. However, this pedigree has been shown by Kenneth Sisam to have resulted from a process of elaboration upon a
root pedigree borrowed from the kings of Bernicia, and hence prior to Cerdic himself it has no historical basis.[6]
Family History of Deborah K. Fletcher
527
Curiously, the name Cerdic is thought to be British – a form of the name Ceretic or Caradog (in Latin
Caratacus) – rather than Germanic in origin. One explanation for this is the possibility that Cerdic's mother was British and
that he was given a name used by his mother's people; if so, this would provide evidence for a degree of mixing, both
cultural and biological, between the invaders and the native British. Alternatively, the use of a British name may indicate
that Cerdic was a native Briton, and that his dynasty became Anglicised over time. This view is supported by the nonGermanic names of some of his successors including Ceawlin, Cedda and Caedwalla. If this were the case then the records
of Cerdic landing in Britain, which were written down many generations after the events they purport to portray, must be
looked on as being in the realms of legend.[7]
J.N.L. Myres noted that when Cerdic and Cynric first appear in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 495 they are
described as ealdormen, which at that point in time was a fairly junior rank. Myres remarks that,
It is thus odd to find it used here to describe the leaders of what purports to be an independent band of invaders,
who origins and authority are not otherwise specified. It looks very much as if a hint is being conveyed that Cerdic and his
people owed their standing to having been already concerned with administrative affairs under Roman authority on this
part of the Saxon Shore.
Furthermore, it is not until 519 that Cerdic and Cynric are recorded as "beginning to reign", suggesting that they
ceased being dependent vassals or ealdormen and became independent Kings in their own right.
Summing up, Myres believed that, It is thus possible ... to think of Cerdic as the head of a partly British noble
family with extensive territorial interests at the western end of the Litus Saxonicum. As such he may well have been
entrusted in the last days of Roman, or sub-Roman authority with its defence. He would then be what in later Anglo-Saxon
terminology could be described as an ealdorman. ... If such a dominant native family as that of Cerdic had already
developed blood-relationships with existing Saxon and Jutish settlers at this end of the Saxon Shore, it could very well be
tempted, once effective Roman authority had faded, to go further. It might have taken matters into its own hands and after
eliminating any surviving pockets of resistance by competing British chieftains, such as the mysterious Natanleod of annal
508, it could 'begin to reign' without recognizing in future any superior authority.
Some would disagree with Myres, as Cerdic is reported to have landed in Hampshire. Some also would say that
the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle proves that Cerdic was indeed a Saxon, however it does not prove that he had no Celtic blood.
Some scholars believe that it is likely that his mother was a British Celt who left for the Continent or perhaps was a
Continental Celt. Geoffrey Ashe postulates he may be a son of Riothamus.

Woden (Odhinn, Odin, Wuotan, or Wotan) was born about 215 in Asgard, Eastern Europe. He was the father of Baeldaeg.
Some say that this Woden was the main god in Anglo-Saxon mythology, and that when the English adopted Christianity,
they gave Woden his own genealogy. Others say that there was a historical Woden, a real person.

Jared (Hebrew: יר, to descend) in Judeo-Christian religious belief was a fifth generation descendant of the first
human beings, the man called Adam and his wife, Eve. His father Mahalalel, great-grandson of Seth, was 65 years of age
when Jared was born.
While the Bible speaks of Jared having become father to several sons and daughters, only Enoch is specifically
noted by name (born to his father in Jared’s 162nd year) [ref. Gen.5:18, 22a, 24; Hebrews 11:5b; Jude vs.14&15]. The sole
named grandchild of Jared’s is Enoch’s son Methuselah, the longest living human mentioned in the Bible [ref. Gen.5:18,
21, 27]. Additionally, Jared was a forefather of Noah and his children, and a pre-Global Flood ancestor of Jesus Christ [ref.
Luke 3:23-37]. Jared was 962 years old when he died, the second longest living person mentioned in the Bible.
His story is accounted in Genesis 5:18-20.
In English translations of the Bible, such as the KJV, the name Jared is academically pronounced dʒ ā-rĕd
accordant with classic Biblical enunciation; generally though it is informally pronounced dʒ ĕ-rĕd\rəd. In the original
Hebrew language as found in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) it is pronounced yĕ yā-rĕḏ , written ( ירe.g., haTorah@Bəréšítʰ
5:15b&16.)
In Hinduism Jared is mentioned as Viradan and is considered being the son of Mahallalan (Mahalalel) The text
carried about Jared was mentioned in the last Purana the Bhavishya Purana which was summarised text done in Sanskrit
and attributed to Rishi Vyasa, the compiler of the Vedas.

years old Burial: mountain near Cave of Treasures west of Eden Note: Jared ben Mahalaleel of Êldâ died 2578 or 2577
B.C. In 1422 or 1423 A.M.. All the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two (962) years: and he died. He lived after
he begat Enoch eight hundred (800) years, and begat sons and daughters 3378-2578 B.C. In 622-1422 A.M.. He was lived

daughter of Râsûjâl ben Cainan of Êldâ, 3488-3482 B.C. In 512-518 A.M., in the eleventh jubilee, in the fourth week of
this jubilee; 1st cousins. Jubilees 4:16 "Jared took to himself a wife, and her name was Baraka, the ... daughter of his
father's brother." He was the son of Mahalaleel ben Cainan of Êldâ and Dinah bat Barakiel of Êldâ. He was born 3544
BCE.8 Genesis and Jubilees were synchronized in their time frames until Jared time. Genesis, however, gives Jared's birth
460 years after Adam (Anno Mundi) and Jubilees, the third week in the sixth year or the tenth jubilee, calculates to 461
A.M.. Genesis says he was 162 years old when he begat Enoch. This calculates to 622 A.M. in Genesis time. Jubilees says
Enoch was born in the 5th week, in the fourth year, in the eleventh Jubilee, or 522 A.M.. There is now a 100 year
difference, with Genesis ahead. Adam was 130 years old when he begat Seth. Seth was 105 when he begat Enos. Enos was
90 when he begat Cainan. Cainan was 70 when he begat Mahalaleel. Mahaleel was 65 when he begat Jared. Within
Genesis and Jubilees, time frames were become more "realistic" until now. Jubilees works out to Jared being 61 years old
when he begat Enoch. Genesis 162. Jubilees 4:15 "In his days the angels of the Lord descended on the earth, those who are
named the Watchers, that they should instruct the children of men, and that they should do judgment and uprightness on the
earth." He was per Genesis 5:15 and Luke 3:37, the son of Maleleel, and per Jubilees 4:15, his cousin Barakiel. When Jared
had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch.And after he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had
other sons and daughters.Altogether, Jared lived 962 years, and then he died. (Gen 5:18-20)(1 Ch 1:2)b.961AMd.1

Mahalalel or Mahalaleel (Hebrew: מ ללאל, Modern Mahal al'el Tiberian Mah ălal’ l) was a patriarch named in
the Hebrew Bible. He was the son of Kenan, son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam in the Old Testament of the Bible. He
was also the father of Jared and the grandfather of Enoch.
He appears in the book of Genesis 5:12-17, and according to the book, he lived 895 years, placing him eighth in
the records for the unusually long lifespans related in that book for the antediluvian patriarchs.
Later references to Mahalalel include Jubilees 4:14–15 and Luke 3:37. Enoch’s first Dream Vision in 1 Enoch
83 recounts the dream that Enoch had in the house of Mahalalel his grandfather, and which Mahalalel explains to him.
