His widow, who had a protection, Aug. 1337, as being "by birth of the parts of Almain, " d. 11 Dec. 1357, at Ruskington, co. Lincoln. C*) III. 1328. 3. John (Bardolf), Lord Bardolf, s. and h., b. 13 Jan. 131 1/2. He had seizin of his lands 26 Mar. 1335. He served in Scotland, Germany, and Brittany, and in (1345) 19 Edw. Ill, wasa Knight Banneret. He was sum. to Pari. 22 Jan. (1335/6) 9 Edw. Ill, to I June (1363), 37 Edw. Ill, the last two writs being directed Johanni Bardolf de tVirmegey. (°) He m., 1326, Elizabeth, only da. and h. of Roger (") Stapleton, in his so-called " Preface " to the Liher de Antiquh Legibus, after remarking that the continuator of Blomfield's Norfolk states that the wife of Thomas Lord Bardolf was Agnes, da. of the Lord Grandisson, proceeds to prove that " Agnes, da. of William de Grandisson a Baron of Pari.," m. someone else [as indeed she did]. In an appendix he adds "hence [no sufficient reason is advanced] it may be assumed, as an unquestionable fact, that Agnes, wife of Thomas Lord Bardolf, was the seventh da. of Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick ...According to the pedigree of this family, compiled by John Rous, this earl had a da., Agnes, who is described to have been the wife of — Cokesey, and afterwards of — Bardolf.. Hence we may infer that Agnes was the wife, first of Thomas Lord Bardolf, whose eldest son John was b. IT^ Jan. 1312 ; and that after his decease on the 15th day of Feb. [i/V] 2 Edw. Ill 1328 she re-married Sir Walter de Cokesey, of Cokesey, com. Wore. " (p. ccxxxv). As Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, was not m. till 1337, his seventh da. was not likely to have a son b. in 131 2, and the above " unquestionable fact " is a gross mistake. Agnes was perhaps, as above stated, da. of William, Seigneur de Grandson, which would explain her having been h. in the parts of Almain, as mentioned in the the text, {ex inform. G.W.Watson). V.G.
