Principal Residence, Kmile Park, near Sevenoaks, co. Kent. SADBERGE. The " notion that the Bishops [of Durham], were Counts Palatine of Durham and EARLS OF SADBERGE, a demesne manor and wapentake in the county of Northumberland (it) which Durham was also a franchise), which Bishop Pudsey had acquired, with most of its Knights' services in the reign of Richard I,. . . . is not worth much investigation. The idea was older than Cosin's [Bishop of Durham, 1060-72] time. Hegge, in 1625, speaks of Pudsey's purchase of the Knrldom of Sadburg, and there are probably much earlier instances, arising from Sadberge. . . being sometimes called a County." See an article by W.
