He raised a troop of horse, with which he took a principal share in the defeat of the Duke of Monmouth, 5 July 1685, and became Col. of the same (now the (") The coheirs were the representatives of Margaret and Elizabeth, the daughters of Robert, 3d Lord Scales, the great-great-grandfather of the suo jure Baroness, the Countess of Rivers. Of these (1) Margaret, who m. Sir Robert Howard, was in 1 173 represented by her great-great-grandson John (Vere) Earl of Oxford, who was s. and h. of John, Earl of Oxford (d. 1461/2), by Elizabeth, da. and h. of Sir John Howard (<I. v.p. 1609), the 1st s. and h. ap. of another Sir John Howard (d. 1437) the s. and h. of Sir Robert Howard (d. 13S9) and the said Margaret. (2) Elizabeth, who m. Sir Roger de Felbrigge, was, in 1473, represented by her great great grandson Sir William Tyndall, K.B., who was s. anil h. of Thomas Tyndall, of Deene. eo, Northampton [d. 1448, aged 26), s. and h. of William Tyndall of the same [d. 1426 aged 28) by Alaua (who m. secondly Sir Thomas Wanton and d. his widow in 1457) surviving da. anil h. of Sir Simon Felbrigge, K.G. (d. 1442), s. and h. of Sir Roger de Felbrigge and the ■aid Elizabeth. The rights of these two coheirs to the estates were recognised, tho' not till 1485, after the accession of Hen. VII. and a partition of the estates was made between them, which Richard III. (ignoring, very justly, any claim thereto of the Wydville family) had granted to his supporter John (Howard) Duke of Norfolk, a great grandson, but not the representative, of the senior-coheir, Dame Margaret Howard, born Scales, aforesaid. See Chester Waters's work as on p. 72, note " a." The title of " Lord Scales " was (after the loose fashion of the period) added to their other titles by the Earls of Oxford, the senior coheirs of that Barony, from 1485 when they obtained possession of " the lion's share " of the estates, i.e., " Newcells in Hertfordshire, the head of the Barony of Scales, and Middleton Castle in Norfolk." On the death, however, of Earl John, 14 July 1526, s.p., the representation of this cobeirship devolved on his three sisters or their descendants. It was in right of a descent from (one of these) Dorothea, Lady Latimer, that, in 1856, Sir Charles Robert Tempest petitioned for the determination of this Barony in his favour, proving that "he had vested in him one scveiity-srcond pari of one moietij] of the Barony." See Chester Waters's work (as above) where also it is shewn that the descent of one entire moiety of this Barony (that vested in the beir of Sir William Tyndall) is " wholly mis-represented " in the minutes of evidence printed for this claim. The correct representation of that moiety (thro' the families of Tyndall, Ulythmaii, King and Bullock) is given at p. 285 of that work. ( b ) " It is evident that the Earl never intended to allow these estates [of the Scales family] to return to his wife's family if he could help it, for by his will he devised them, as far as he could legally do so, to his brother Sir Edward Woodville. This devise would probably have taken effect, if Lord Rivers had died while his sister Elizabeth was Queen, for the elder coheir, the Earl of Oxford, Was the avowed enemy of the house of York and had long been under attainder " [Chester Waters, ut supra'.] ( c ) This Henry was then only about 24 years old, tho' afterwards a very distinguished officer, under William III. and Marlborough.
