Nicolas remarks, with much truth (.«u& "Boteler"), that Dagdale'l " statement relative to the family of Boteler is very confused.'' The seniority of the two sisters is doubtful: Joaue is called the eldest b]f Dngdale, but Tovvnsend {Coll.

( c ) " There bad been a regular discontinuance of writs from [1321] 14 lid. II. to [1307] 41 Ed- HI . when the last Lord Sudely died.
