Jo. Bromley Esq branched from the Bromleys in Shrep∣shire, was born at Bromley. He recovered the English Standard, which was taken by the French at the battle near Corby in France: In reward of his Valour, King Henry 5. (whose Arms he had followed in France)
made him a Knight Batchelor, Captain of Dampfront, and great Constable of Bossevile le Ross in France, and granted by Letters Patent 40 pounds in Land a year, to him and his Heirs. Hugh Stafford Lord Bourchier, ha∣ving on the same account, conferred on him a yearly Pension of 40 pound during his life. Sir John dyed a∣bout the middle of the Reign of Hen. 6.
John Dudley Duke of Northumberland, Son to Ed∣ward Dudley Esq and would willingly be reputed of this County, a descendant from the Lord Dudley therein. He was a proper, wise and valiant Man, and general∣ly (till his last project) prosperous: But he was also no∣toriously wanton, intolerably ambitious, a constant dis∣sembler, prodigiously profuse, so that he had sunk his Estate, had he not met with a seasonable support of Abbey-Land. King Henry 8. first Knighted him, then Created him Vise. Lisle, Earl of Warwick, and Duke of Northumberland. Under Queen Mary, he contri∣ved the setling of the Crown on Queen Jane, his Daugh∣ter in Law, for which Treason he was Executed, an. 1. Mary, much bemoaned by Martial Men, whom he had formerly endeared in his good service in the French and Scotish Wars. He left two Sons who survived to great Honour, Ambrose Earl of Warwick Heir to all that was good, and Robert Earl of Leicester, Heir to all that was great in his Father.
The Bagnols (or Bagenhalts) were formerly a Fami∣ly of such remark in this County, that before the Reign of Hen. 8. there scarce passed an ancient Evidence, which is not attested by one of that Name; And having for a time sunk into a low condition, was afterwards restored to their genuine Lustre, when Ralph and Ni∣cholas, Sons to John Bagnol of Newcastle in this County, were both Knighted for their good service, the one in Mussleborough Field, the other in Ireland. Their Sons Samuel and Henry, were for their Martial merit advanc∣ed to the same degree.
