Yours very truly,

To John Gough Nichols, Esq. Observe, the engraving was not pasted in Stow's ' Survey,' like Rodd's impression of it, but in the 1603 edition of Stow's * Chronicles.' Mr. Nichols removed it from the fly-leaf, pasted it on half a sheet of paper, and wrote the following note at foot :

"The same print which from another copy (sup- posed unique) was engraved in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1837 (Jan.). This was given me by Edward Dalton, LL.D., F.S.A., in June, 1841."

With such a record as is above sketched, the print is probably about as rare an item as the most ardent grangerite could well desire. FREDK. HENDKIKS.

THE MANOR OF TYBURN.

( Concluded from p. 383. )

EARL ROBERT died in 1295,* and his widow Alice survived him for several years. Her Inquisition p.m., which shows that she was seised of the manor of Tyburn at the time of her death, is dated 6 Edward II. (1312). She was succeeded in the group of Sanford manors by her grandson, John de Warren, Earl of Surrey, Sussex, and Strathern, who died without issue in 1347 (Inquisition p.m.). Probably, during his minority, the manors were sublet to Ralph de Cobham, as he died seised of them in 1325 (Inquisition p.m., 19 Edward II.). John de Warren was suc- ceeded in these manors by his nephew Rich.ard Fitzalan, third Earl of Arundel of that family, son of Edmund Fitzalan and Alice de Warren, the only sister of the Earl of Surrey. Richard, Earl of Arundel, died in 1376, and was suc- ceeded by his son Richard, who after a stormy career was most unjustly beheaded in 1397. By his first wife Elizabeth Bohun, daughtei of William, Ear) of Northampton, he left a s->n, Thomas, who succeeded him eventually in his title and estates, and four daughters. Thomas Fitzalan, fifth Earl of Arundel, died without issue in 1415 ; and whilst the castle of Arundel and the prin- cipal possessions of his family went to his cousin, John Fitzaian, Lord Maltravers, the group of Sanford manors was partitioned among his sisters and coheiresses, and the difficulties in tracing the succession really begin. MR. LOFTIE says the subsequent history of the " lease " is detailed by Lysons

The arms of the earl, impaled with those of Sanford, are on windows in the nave and the south wall of the chancel of Langley Church, Norfolk.

Lysons gives no details whatever between the death of the Earl of Arundel in 1397 misdated by him 1394 and the creation in 1488 of the Marquis of Berkeley, whom he also erroneously states to have been descended from Joan Fitzalan, one of the sisters in question. Of these sisters, the youngest, Alice, married John Charleton, Lord of Powis, who aied without issue in 1400. The eldest sister, Elizabeth Fitzalan, married first Sir William Montacute, eldest son of William Montacute, second Earl of Salisbury, who was unhappily slain in a tilting match at Windsor by the earl, his father, on 6 August, 1382, and left no issue; secondly, Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham and Duke of Norfolk, who died on 22 September, 1399, leaving issue ; thirdly, Sir Gerard de Ufflete ; and fourthly, Sir Robert Gowshill, who left issue. Elizabeth Fitzalan died on 8 July, 1425, and her share of the Sanford manors was divided between her surviving descend- ants. The second sister, Joan Fitzalan, married William Beau champ, Lord of Ber- gavenny, who died 8 May, 1411, leaving issue. The third sister, Margaret Fitzalan, married Sir Rowland Lenthall, of Hampton Court, co. Hereford, and also had issue. It will thus be seen that as the three surviving sisters of Thomas Fitzalan were each entitled to a third share of the manors, one-sixth fell to die Mowbrays, one-sixth to the Gowshills, one-third to the Beauchamps, and one-third to the Lenthalls.

The eldest son of Thomas, first Duke of Norfolk, having been beheaded in 1405 at the early age of nineteen, the inheritance fell to his brother, John Mowbray, second Duke of Norfolk, who died in 1432. Al- though he was succeeded in his honours by his son John, third Duke of Norfolk, a third share of the Sanford manors appears to have fallen to a daughter, Margaret, the wife of Norman Babington (Inq. p.m., 1451 ; see the Topographer and Genealogist, i. 340). After this lady's death her share of the manors seems to have reverted to her brother, the Duke of Norfolk, and to have been inherited I by his son John, the fourth duke, who died I in 1475, leaving one daughter and sole heir, \ Anne Mowbray. With the intention of I acquiring the vast possessions of the Mow- brays, King Edward IV., when this little lady was hardly six years of age, betrothed her to his second son, Richard, Duke of York ; j but she unfortunately died soon afterwards, and the duke being murdered in the Tower, the family estates became the objects of ! partition between the coheirs, John Howard, the son of Sir Robert Howard and Margaret
