MAry Queene of Fraunce, Sister of King Henry the eight, had issue by Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolke, her Husband, two sonnes; Henry Brandon Duke of Suffolke, and Charles a second son. Milles page 543. HEnry Brandon Duke of Suffolk, & Charles his brother, were the sons of Katherine Willoughby Dutchesse of Suffolke, and not the sonnes of Marie the French Queen, as Milles hath.
THomas Grey, Marquesse Dorset, begot of Margaret Wootton his wife two Sonnes; Sir Iohn Grey Knight, who married Marie, Daughter of Anthony Browne, Viscount Montague, and Henry Grey, Baron of Groby.

WIlliam de Romera, Earl of Lin∣colne, married Auice, daughter of Richard de Riparijs, and had issue Wil∣liam de Romara who maried the daughter of Stephen Earle of Albemarle.

IN the yeare 1546. the Duke of Nor∣folke and his sonne the Earle of Surrey, were sodainly apprehended, and sent to the Tower of London, for bearing in their Escochion certaine Armes, which were pretended onely to belong vnto the King, which Armes notwithstanding, they and their Ancestours time out of minde had borne, without checke or controulement.

For this offence was the said Earle endi∣ted, &c. HAd not this Writer beene a little too bold and busie, in matters of Armes and Herauldry (wherein hee hath shewed himselfe verie ignorant) he would neuer haue put this in print. I wish him therefore to know, that the honourable family of the Howards he speaketh of, may, and doe lawfully beare, and quarter, the Armes of Tho∣mas

of Brotherton the Kings son; but not the king of Englāds Armes. Ther¦fore I wold haue M. Martyn to know, that those Armes he mentioneth, did want a lambell for the difference; the neglect whereof, made it the Kinges Armes, and not Tho: of Brothertons.
HEnry Stafford (sonne of Humfrey the sixt Earle of Stafford, and Anne Neuil his wife) maried Margaret Coun∣tesse of Richmond, mother to King Henry the seuenth. THey that are desirous to find this Henrie Stafford, and his marriage with Margaret Countesse of Richmond mother to king Henry the 7. must goe into Purgatory for it; for in heauen, nor vpon the earth it is not to be foūd

EDward Fynes, Lord Clynton created Earle of Lincolne, 1572. THere was neuer any of the family or name of Fynes Earl of Lincoln, to this time, 1618. But the trueth is, there was one Edw: Clynton, that was created Earle of Lincoln, in the yeare 1572. which I take to be the person he meaneth.
Henry Fynes, Earle of Lincolne.  
Mil. page 950 and 952.  
WIlliam, Brother of Malcolm king of Scottes, maried Ermingard, Daughter of Richard de Beaumont, at Woodstocke in the Kings Chappel, the 33. yeare of King Henry the second, and died in the yeare 1124. the 27 yeare of his age THis William is made to marry this Ermingard his wife at Woodstocke, 62. yeares after he was dead: For the 33. of King Henry the second, is 1186. and the yeare of his death, as he saith, is 1124.

KIng Iohn left behind him foure sons, viz: Henry who succeeded him, Ri∣chard who was elected K of the Romans; William of Valence, and Guido Disnay: and three daughters, the second was ma∣ried to William Marshal, Earle of Worce∣ster, &c. KIng Iohn had but two sonnes, and none named William of Valence, or Guy de Disnay, for they wer the sons of Hugh le Brun, Earle of the Marches of Aquitaine, and not king Iohns; and that William Marshal was earl of Wor∣cester is as vntrue as the other; for he was onely Earle of Penbroke, and not of Worcester.
Martyn, page 59, 60.  
RObert de Bellemont, Earle of Mel∣lent, maried Matild, daughter and one of the heirs of Reginald Earl of Corn∣wall, son of King Iohn. Mills page 830. FRom the beginning of the reign of King Henry the first, to King Iohn, was 98. yeares, and so far wide is this Author from the truth. For this Regi∣nald he mentioneth, was base sonne of King Henry the first, and not of King Iohn.

HVgh de Audley, youngest Sonne of Iames Audley, and of Adela Long∣spee. THis Hugh de Audley, was not the sonne of Iames Audley, and of Ade∣la Longspee. But the sonne of Nicholas Audley, and Katherine Giffard his wife.
Milles pag. 378.  
MIchaell de la Pole (sonne and heire of Michaell, and Katherine Staf∣ford) married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Mowbray Duke of Norffolk, & had issue three daughters; Isabell, wife to the Lord Morley, Katherine a Nunne, and Elizabeth Countesse of Kendall. THis Michael de la Pole, whom hee sayth had issue 3. Daughters, dyed at Egencourt fielde in Fraunce, 1415. without any issue at all.

THomas Earle of Arundell, married Constance, Daughter of Edmond of Langley, Duke of Yorke, and had yssue, Anne married to Hugh de Audley, vvho had isvue Iames.

Mil. pag. 347.  
RObert, base son of King Henrie the first, was the first Earle of Gloce∣ster, and married Mabell Daughter of Robert Fitz Hamon, and Sibel his Wife, daughter of Robert de Belesmo, Earle of Shrewsbury. RObert Fitz-Haman, neuer marri∣ed any Sibill, daughter of Robert de Belesmo. For Robert de Belesmo had his eyes put out, and dyed in the Ca∣stle of Kardiffe in Wales, without any issue: And for Mabell the daughter of Robert Fitz-Hamon, shee neuer marri∣ed Nigell Lord Mowbray, for that Ma∣bell he married, was daughter and co∣heyre of William Fitz Patrich, Earle of Salisbury, who had giuen her in Mar∣riage, the Mannor of Bansted in Sur∣rey, as is manifested by the said Grant.
After this Roberts death, Mabell his Wife, married Nigell, Lord and Baron of Mowbray.

ISabell, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Earle of Hertford, married William L. Bruse of Gower in Wales. THis Isabell, married Robert Brus of Annanderdale in Scotland, and not William Bruse of Wales, and so both the man, and the matter, quite mista∣ken.
Milles pag. 369.  
ISabel daughter of William king of Scots married Robert Lord Ros of Hamlake, Father of Robert Lord Ros, father of Wil∣liam Lord Ros, Competitor for the crown of Scotland. RObert Lord Ros, that married Isa∣bell daughter of William King of Scots, had issue William L. Ros, who had issue, Robert Lord Ros of Hamlake, Fa∣ther of another William, that was one of the Competitors for the Crowne of Scotland. So ye the first William L. Ros is quite left out, and by that means the second Robert is left without a father.
Mil. pag. 507.  
RObert de Valonijs, Lord of Orford married Cicely, sister of William Blound, and had issue Cicely de Valoniis wife to Robert Vfford, steward of the hou∣shold to King Edward the second. RObert de Valoniis, which marryed the Sister of William Blound, had is∣sue a sonne Robert, who was Father of Cicely de Valoniis wife to Robert Vfford: So that, the right Father of Cicely Valo∣nijs that married Robert Vfford is quite left out, and not once mentioned, and Robert de Valonijs & Cicely Blound, who was her Grand-father and Grand mo∣ther, made to be her father & mother.
Milles, pag. 528.  
MArgaret, daughter of Sir Iohn Nor∣wich Knight, and sister and heyre of Thomas Norwich, was wife to Robert Vfford Earle of Suffolke. THis Margaret, was Sister of Sir Walter Norwich Knight, and Aunt and heyre to Iohn Norwich, son of the sayde Sir Walter. So that this discent, is out of ioynt, and greatly mistaken.
Mil. pag. 529.  
RIchard Plantaginet, sonne of King Iohn, was created Earle of Cornwal in the yeare 1227. and died at Barkham∣sted, being very old, in the yeare 1572. NOw surely, I haue not read of any so olde since Christs time. For, by this accompt of 1227. and 1572. this Richard liued after his being Earl, 345. yeares. And then was hee a verie olde man indeed.
Mil. pag. 552.  
RRobert Sackuile, eldest son of Tho∣mas, was after his Father, Earle of

Dorset, by Lady Margaret Howard, sole Daughter of Thomas Duke of Norfolke. HOw this Robert Sackuile, could be Earle of Dorset, by Lady Marga∣ret

Howard his Wife, is more then by my Bookes I can find; considering his father was created Earle of Dorset, to him and his heires male.
Mil. pag. 413.  
ALan (sur-named the redde) or Fer∣gant, Earle of little Britaine, marri∣ed the daughter of Fulke Rechin Earle of Anioy; and had issue, Howell disinheri∣ted, Bertha maried to Eudo Earle of Por∣het, and Constance wife to Geffrey sonne of Iuhell. HEre is Howell, Bertha, & Constance, made to be Children to Alan Far∣gant, when as they were the children of Conanle Grosse Earle of Britaine, and so they fathered vpon a wrong father.
Milles pag. 588, 589.  
WIlliam the first Earle Warren & Surrey, married Gundred, dau∣ghter of William Conqueror, and had is∣sue William and Reginald, who marryed Adeliza, Ladie of Wirmingay in Norfolk, and had issue William de Warren.  
WIlliam the second Earle Warren and Surrey, sonne of William the first, married Isabel, daughter of Hugh the great Earle of Vermandois, and had yssue, William the third Earle Warren, & Reginald de Warren, who married Ade∣liza daughter of William de Wormegay, and had issue, William. REginald de Warren, mentioned in this place, is made to haue two se∣uerall Fathers and Mothers, as by this aforesaid it may appeare; but the first is false. His true Father was William the second Earle Warren, and his mo∣ther was Isabel, Sister of Rafe de Peron∣ne, Earle of Vermandois.
Mil. pag. 616, 617, 618, 619.  
WIlliam the third, Earle of Arun∣dell and Sussex, maried Mabel, sister and Coheire of Hugh Meschines, surnamed Blundeuile, the last Earle of Chester of that Family. THere was neuer any Hugh Mes∣chines Earle of Chester (surnamed Blundeuile) nor any Mabell his Sister. But the trueth is, there was a Mabell, which was Sister and Co-heire of Ran∣doll Blundeuile Earle of Chester.
Mil. pag. 642, 643.

married Iohn Fitz Alan, Lord of Clun and Oswaldtre; by whose right, the Castle and honour of Arundell came to the Fitz Alans. Their sonne Iohn Fitz Alan, was Father of Richard first Earle of Arundel of that Family. IT is true, that this Isabell married Iohn Fitz Alan, and had issue Iohn,

Page [unnumbered]

who by Mauld Verdon his wife, had is∣sue a third Iohn, who marryed Isabell Mortimer, and had yssue Richard the first Earle of Arundel, which thirde Iohn is omitted, and so the sayde Ri∣chards Grandfather made to be his fa∣ther.
Mil. pag. 643.  
HEnry Percy the ninth Earle of Nor∣thumberland, Lord Percy, Lucy, Poynings, Fitz-Payne, and Brian, and in his mothers right, Lord Latymer. HOw this Henry Earl of Northum∣berland, can be Lord Latymer in right of his Mother, is more then by my reading I could euer finde any proofe for.
Milles pag. 734. For I take it, that all Daughters and heyrs of a Baron by Writ (be they ne∣uer so many) are all interessed alike by their birth, to their Fathers Dignitie; which Dignity by no meanes can bee diuided, & therefore lost (when there is more Daughters then one) and to reuert to the King frō whence it came, to bestow vppon which daughter hee will, or other stranger, whomsoeuer it shall please him.
LOra daughter of William Bruse Ba∣ron of Brecknocke, wife vnto Robert Fitz Pernell Earle of Leicester, and Si∣ster of that William Bruse, who was com∣monly called Earle of Brember Castle in Sussex, & Lord of Brecknock and Aber∣gauenny, she left siue daughters her heirs, Isabel, Ela, Mauld, Eua, and Eleanor. IT is true that this Lora did marry Ro∣bert Fitz Pernel, Earle of Leicester. But that she had fiue daughters, is very vntrue: for the saide Robert died with∣out yssue. And those fiue Daughters heere mentioned, were the Daughters of William Lord Bruse of Brecknocke, begotten of Eua his Wife, one of the daughters of William Marshall, the el∣der Earle of Penbrooke. So that this Lora was their great Aunt, & not their mother.

Ida his wife, daughter and one of the heirs of William de Oding sells Baron of Mar∣stoke, was by King Edward the third cre∣ated Earle of Huntington, 1337. THis William de Clynton, Earle of Huntington here mentioned, was

sonne of Iohn Lord Clynton and Mauld Beaumont, and Grandchild to another Iohn and Idona.

IOhn Hastings, son and heire of Law∣rence, was the second Earl of Penbroke, who at his death, lefte Anne Maney his wife great with child of Iohn Hastings the third Earle of Penbroke. Mil. pag. 1098. HOw could Margaret, daughter of King Edward the third, be mother of Iohn Hastings the third Earl of Pen∣broke, when as at the said Iohns death, he sayth; that Anne Manny his Fathers second wife was great with Childe of him, except he proue that he had two Mothers.
