 598 APPENDIX C on the dorse of the Roll, and that the one which omits all reference to the Earls of Lancaster and Hereford; moreover the list which is given jumbles together loyalists and rebels, so that no one can tell from it that Lords Hastings and Latimer were ex parte Regis and Lords Badlesmere and Berkeley on the other part, while the far more valuable list of 138 names of those " q'furent countr le Roy " is ignored altogether, as well as the short lists of those who surrendered, those who were executed, etc.; the reason being that they contained no coats of arms. It is very difficult to realise the purpose for which the Roll was prepared; if as an historical account I should have expected one list of loyalists and another of rebels, each fairly exhaustive, instead of which we have a long list containing apparently principally loyalists but also several undoubted rebels, and yet which omits many of the latter who figure in the shorter list and were undoubtedly present. It is strange, too, that nowhere in the Roll can I find any reference to Donald, Earl of Mar [S.], who captured several important prisoners, nor strangest of all to Sir Andrew Harcla, who commanded for the King, and to whose loyalty before the battle and vigour during its progress the victory was mainly due. I am satisfied, however, that the Roll itself is not in all respects trustworthy, for it gives the names of six knights, viz.: Sir John Wilington, Sir Gilbert Talbot, Sir Phillip Darcy, Sir Robt. Wateville, Sir Adam Swillington, and Sir Bartholomew Burghersh, as having been amongst those '■'•pendus^^ all of whom can be shown from the Close or Patent Rolls to have been pardoned and who were certainly alive some years after 1322. In these circumstances I do not think I need apologise for attempting a list of my own at any rate of the most important people who, influenced by jealousy of the Despensers, engaged in this formidable though unsuccessful rebellion against Edward II. I have marked with an asterisk those whom I cannot prove to have been present, or whom I know not to have been present at the battle. Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, executed 1322. Humphrey (de Bohun), Earl of Hereford, slain at Boroughbridge. Wallingford. Hugh Audley (junior), Kt., summoned 1317-36, pardoned. Bartholomew Badlesmere, Banneret, summoned 1309-21, executed 1322.
