 ALDEBURGH COMPLETE PEERAGE loi lass, was built by the 3rd Earl ; while the 2nd Earl, about 1780, " founded in the center of one of the principal streets of Westm. [Oxford Street] Stratford Place, one of the principal ornaments of the metropolis ; and erected a superb edifice for his residence at the upper end of the street and square, which form a cul-de-sac. " See Owen's Peerage, 1790. He appears also to have founded a town in co. Wicklow, called Stratford-upon-Slaney. ALDEBURGH or ALDBROUGH (") BARONY. I. Sir William Aldeburgh, of Aldeburgh, now Ald- I. 1371. brough, in Richmondshire, (") s. and h.of Sir Ives A., of the same, by Mary, his wife. Q He was sometime valettus to Edward Balliol, King of Scotland. (**) In 1364, Sir Robert de I'lsle of Rougemont enfeoffed him and Elizabeth, his wife, of the manor of Hare- wood, CO. York. (^) He was sum. to Pari. 8 Jan. (1370/1) 44 Edw. Ill (*) The advance over previous accounts, in accuracy and completeness, of this article, and the notes thereon, are due to G.W. Watson, who has unreservedly placed his store of knowledge at the disposal of the Editor. V.G. (*) Aldbrough-juxta-Tees, near Stanwick, wapentake of Gilling West, (see p. 102 note "a" as to their arms). A distinct family of Aldeburgh, who bore entirely different arms, viz., Az. a fesse Arg. between 3 cross crosslets Or (Ped. in Foster's Yorkshire Visitations, p. 279), took their name from Aldborough, near Boroughbridge, Claro wapentake, in the church of which place there is a well known brass to the memory of one of them. The two families are nearly always confused with each other. V.G. C) (i) Mary, widow of Sir Ives de A., gave to William, her s., lands in A.: — 22 Edw. III. (ii) William, s. of Sir Ives de A., gave to John, s. of William de Mou- bray, and to Margaret, John's wife, his manor of A. in Richmondshire : — 26 Edw. III. Seal: — A lion rampant charged with a fleur de lis. {Glover's Collections, Harl. MSS., no. 245, f. 14.7). (iii) Edw. Ill confirmed to William, s. and h. of Ives de A., lands in Brokesmouth, co. Roxburgh, which Edward Balliol, King of Scotland, had given to Ives: — 13 Nov. 1347. {Scottish Rolls, 21 Edw. Ill, m. i). V.G. C*) He is termed " vallettus magnifici principis Edwardi de Balliolo regis Scotie consanguinei nostri carissimi, " 22 Jan. 1350/1 to 6 Sep. 1352, and miles of the sd. King, 6 Aug. 1353. {Scottish Rolls, 24-27 Edw. Ill, passim). The arms of Balliol were set up at Harewood Castle, where they still exist. V.G. Q Inq. whether it would be to the detriment of the King or of others that Robert de I'lsle of Rougemont kt. should enfeoff William de Aldeburgh kt. and Elizabeth his wife of two parts of the manor of Harewood, which he held in chief: and should concede that the third part of the sd. manor, which Maud, late the wife of John de i'lsle of Rougemont, father of Robert, held in dowry, should remain after Maud's death to William and Elizabeth. (Writ 18 May 38 Edw. Ill, Inq. i June following — Ch. Inq. ad quod damnum, file 351, no. 16). Robert de I'lsle paid £'0 pro licencia feoffiindi the two parts of the manor, 16 June 1364. {Fine Roll, 38 Edw. Ill, m. 3). Most genealogists assume that Elizabeth was sister of Robert, though Ralph Brooke {Discoverie of certaine Errours in the Britannia, 1596, p. 66) denies this, and says that she was sister of John, Robert's father. But there is no known authority for either relationship. The arms of L'Isle, and those of Aldeburgh (as above), occur among those seen by Glover at Harewood. (Foster, ut supra, pp. 466-8). V.G.
