(c) Tliis does not refer to the well known town of Windsor in Berks, tho* it arises indirectly (see p. 186, note "a ") therefrom. The grantee was the husband of the da. and eventually sole heir of Herbert (Hickman- Windsor), 2d and last Viscount Windsor of Blackcastle [1.], and chose this title, so as to perpetuate the surname and peerage of hb father-in-law. («*) In an able history of the Duket family, entitled " Duekeliana " [4to, 1876], written by Sir O. F. Duckett, Bart., is [pp. 268-283, referring to pp. 166-167] a full account of the ancestry of this Baron, from whose sister, Margery, wife of John Duket, the writer thereof is (thro* his paternal grandmother) descended. It is there clearly proved link by link (by the Plaeita de Banco, 16 Hen. VL, Mich. 163) that all the previous accounts of such ancestry are erroneous, and that the Baron's father was Sir Alexander de Wyndesore, who was fourth in descent from another Alexander de Wyndesore, who, by his marriage with Agnes, da. of William de Lancaster, " Bnron of Kendal,* " acquired the estate of Grayrigg, co. Westmorland, which, for no less than 800 years after the Baron's death in 1384, was the inheritance of the family of Duket The precise connection, tho' doubtless one existed, between this Baron and the family of Windsor of Stanwell (afterwards, 1629, Lords Windsor do Stanwell) is not ascertained.
