( b ) This lady had been, according to the present law concerning forfeiture, sua jure Baroness Botreai'x since the death in 1478 of her great grandmother, Margaret, suojurc Baroness Botreaux, notwithstanding the attainder of her father in 1469 and of her grandfather in 1461, who was s. and h. of Robert, Lord Huugerford (d. 1459) by the said Margaret, who survived both her said son and grandson. Such attainders, however, prevented her undoubtedly from inheriting the Baronies of Hungerford and De Moleyns, and it was not apparently thought (at that time) till their reversal (in 1485) that she was entitled to any dignities derived thro' her attainted ancestors. She appears, however, after 1485 not to have been con- tented with the three Baronies to which she was entitled, but to have credited herself with six as " she styled herself Lady Hungerford, Hornet, Botreaux, Mods, Molincs, and Petered, which titles are sometimes attributed to [her heir] the Marquess of Hastings. Hornet and Pevercll were never Parliamentary Baronies [while] Moels, tho' a Barony by writ, was not absolutely vested in the said Lady Hungerford, as she was only sole heir of one moiety and coheir to of the other moiety of that dignity."
