This work was undertaken with the object of assisting the study of English history— in the first place, and principally, of mediaeval English history — by supplying information, as exact as could be obtained, on certain subjects of interest and importance, and by presenting that information in a manner comprehensive, systematic, and clear. These subjects relate exclusively to the peers of England, and the points treated of are, i. DATES OF BiRTH, SUCCESSION, AND Death. 2. The Varying Titles of each Line. 3. The Offices held by EACH Peer. 4. Their Marriages. 5. Their Armorial Bearings. 6. Their Persons. The plan, as at first conceived, was intended to embrace the period between the Norman Conquest and the Revolution of 1688, a period during which the kind of information referred to is most wanting. But it was afterwards considered advisable to give completeness to the work by bringing it up to the present time. The task, however, of dealing with the subject as respects the last two or three centuries is so im- measurably easier than the former part of the work, and the knowledge to be acquired on the modern peers is so much more abundant and acces- sible, that the latter period is to be regarded as in some considerable degree outside the motive and scope of the original design, and, generally, of the bearing of the remarks which follow. The main purpose, then, of the work, is to contribute for the benefit of those who are interested in the earlier history of this country some PREFA CE. aid which may enable them more readily to turn names into persons, to trace out the machinery by which the government of England was anciently carried on, and to fix with certainty the moment when power changed hands at this or that important crisis. The work attempts, at the least, to do for the chiefs of the active ruling class of the earlier ages what our modern Peerages and Parliamentary Companions do for the legislators and officials of the present day ; but beyond that, it aims at laying a sure foundation in certain departments for the higher work of the historian and the biographer. A few words of explanation must now be given on the treatment of the several subjects enumerated above. I. Succession. — It has not been supposed that, after the labours of many competent men, there was any need for treating this subject anew, at least as regards the higher ranks of the nobility. As, however, the dates of birth, succession, and death, form, so to say, a kind of frame- work to the main subject of the undertaking, no portion has been put together without a careful consideration of such evidence as remains. In the result, with respect to the date of births, which are very seldom recorded during the nth and I2th centuries, it is hoped that some advance has been made, and that an approximate date at least has been arrived at in a fair proportion of cases. As to the succession to earldoms and baronies during the centuries just named, it is to be noted that the form ' succeeded as,' used in this work for convenience, means only ' became entitled to succeed,' which the earl or baron did not in fact do until after he had received investiture or seisin, and very few dates con- cerning these ceremonies are on record. On the other hand, the day of death is often set down by the chroniclers, the knowledge of anniversaries being held to be of much consequence. 2. Titles. — As the honours held even in the direct line of a family often varied, a separate list of them is given in the case of every indi- PREFACE. vidual peer. It will thus be seen at once that one man was powerful both in England and Normandy, that his son succeeded only to the English honours, and that the Norman honours reverted at a later period to his heirs who by that time perhaps had acquired great lordships in Ireland. It was not the custom, however, during at least two centuries after the Conquest for great men to use many titles, and it is but rarely that the name of more than one lordship follows the recital of an earldom by the holder of it. The historical list of honours, therefore, individually enjoyed in those early days, is in no case meant for the style of the period. 3. Offices. — The offices held by the peers of England are the prin- cipal and distinctive subject of this work, as its title is intended to express. The subjects already touched upon form only an introduction which it was necessary to treat, but which would not in and for themselves have had sufficient attraction for the present writer to induce the bestowal of much labour upon them. The great historical importance, however, of ascertaining the dates at which the leading men of England attained the offices which gave them power and influence, and the further dates at which they lost power and influence, led him on to take up the task, and eventually, to devote many years to its execution, it cannot yet be said completion. A difficult, but, on the whole, much less historically important section of the original plan still remains to be carried out : that, namely, which concerns the Barons who and whose descendants remained Barons. The work has been built, a very few items excepted, entirely upon the original authorities, whatever their kind. From 1066 to 1200 the chroniclers furnish perforce most of the material, for the public records and the monastic documents tell but little about appoint- ments to offices. From the early years, however, of King John to the present day, an unequalled body of authentic evidence, though not without gaps, exists in the public records, which have been carefully searched for every portion of the intervening time. These again have been supple- mented by the contemporary chroniclers and other authorities, which, PREFACE. though of greatly inferior value, cannot safely be passed over, because even important appointments were not of necessity enrolled, and it is by no means certain that every enrolment has been preserved. A list of the various classes of records examined will be found at the end oi each volume of this work. It is well to add here, that, for the sake of greater clearness, and to avoid the confusing use of double dates, the year is always made to commence in the modern style, with the first of January ; and the day of the month is always described as in the document quoted. 4. Marriages. — No subject relating to the ancient peerage has pro- bably received more careful attention than that of their marriages, nor was it to be expected that any new or important fact could now be dis- covered respecting them. It was none the less essential to examine again all the existing evidence ; and that has been done, not without a feeling that difficulties here and there remain which can never be solved. In connection with this subject, the writer much regrets that he was not aware, until too late, of Mr. R. E. Chester Waters's discovery of a pas- sage in St. Anselm's works which conclusively proves that Gundreda, the wife of William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, could not have been either the daughter or the step-daughter of William the Conqueror. Our knowledge of her family, therefore, is reduced to the fact recorded on her tombstone, that she was ' of ducal race.' 5. Heraldry. — The plan of this section of the work has been to give a representation of the more ancient armorial bearings, taken from the individual peer's own seal, or from his monument, or at least from some contemporary drawing, such as those in that most valuable series in the margin of Matthew Paris's Chronicle, probably the work of his own hand. Another feature is the description of the arms taken from the oldest blazon that could be found. In fact, the attempt has been made to collect a complete body of information concerning the armorial bearings, crests, ' beasts ' or supporters, badges, and colours of the PREFACE. medieval baronage ; and though many details are still wanting, a good deal of material has been brought into consecutive order and rendered easily accessible. 6. Persons. — A knowledge of the personal appearance of the men who played a conspicuous part in the history of our country must always be interesting. An attempt has therefore been made in this work to give a series as complete as possible of the early representations of the princes and nobles of England. These early representations cannot, it is true, be regarded as actual likenesses ; but, as a rule, they may be taken to pourtray in rude fashion, at least the general appearance of the man, probably not correct in feature, but very probably so as to cut of hair and garment ; whether smooth faced or bearded or only moustached, and almost certainly so, when he is depicted shut up in his helmet. However this may be, we cannot hope to arrive at any more certain knowledge on the subject, and all that remains is to make use of the only materials that exist, for the purpose of getting as near to the truth as is now possible. From an early date in the i6th century the supply of authentic portraits gradually accumulates, though the pictures of some remarkable men are still lacking, and those of some others have come down to us without as much warranty as might be desired. The plan followed in this portion of the work has been to give a portrait in all cases, where it could be procured, for the showing forth, to some extent, of the men of the i6th, 17th, and i8th centuries; and then gradually to diminish the number in proportion as the time was ap- proached when the aspect of every distinguished man is made familiar in many ways. As a general rule, the word ' After,' with reference to an illustration, means that it is taken from an engraving ; and the word ' From ' indicates that it is copied directly from the original, unless the draughtsman's or engraver's name is given. In one case, however, (I., p. 712) no name was on the plate, and thus due acknowledgment could not be made. VOL. I. a PREFACE. In addition to the pictorial representations, contemporary personal descriptions have been collected from many quarters, and in some cases several have been found relating to the same individual, not seldom taking very different views. Estimates of character have been excluded, or only those traits admitted which would probably show themselves in the outward demeanour. The signatures of a large number of the peers have also been given, and the collection is as complete as it could be made for the 15 th and 1 6th centuries. For those following, no name of any consequence is omitted until nearly the present time. To sum up. It is important that the reader should remember that this work deals with every department treated in it from the historical or recording point of view alone. It does not concern itself with questions of right, or with the doubts and difficulties of eminent lawyers and heralds. Such objections are worthy of all respect when they are not carried too far, and when modern ideas are not applied to the judgment of ancient practice. But the legal fact and the historical fact, though not in reality contradictory, often appear as things quite different. For example, Roger de Montgomery was legally Earl of Shropshire, but he was mostly called by himself and others Earl of Shrewsbury, and so, his- torically, he was and is Earl of Shrewsbury. John Talbot was created Earl of Shropshire, but neither he nor his descendants were ever called so in English, and, historically, they have always been Earls of Shrewsbury. In like manner, the Albineys were legally Earls of Sussex, but they were generally known as Earls of Arundel, and so, historically, they, on the whole, remain. Again, Dugdale says that Edmund, Earl of Lan- caster, ' had nothing of the title of Earl of Derby ; ' but, nevertheless, his son called himself on his seal ' Earl Ferrers,' as the previous Earls of Derby had generally done. The style of John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, as proclaimed in the presence of King Henry VII., included the title of Marquis of Dublin, for which no vestige of legal authority is PREFACE. xi known. Five of the succeeding Earls of Oxford were called Viscount Bolebec, or Bulbeck ; yet no record of the creation of such viscounty exists. In the same way, one at least of the Stanleys, Earls of Derby, was called Viscount Kynton. Historically, therefore, there existed a Marquis of Dublin, five or six Viscounts Bolebec, and a Viscount Kyn- ton, who cannot be accounted for in a legal manner. These instances will serve to make clear the point of view from which certain portions of the work have been executed. The main bulk and most important part, however, is formed directly from material concerning which doubt or controversy cannot well arise. The three volumes now about to be issued contain the special in- formation previously indicated, relating to all the Dukes, Marquises, Earls, and Viscounts of England, from 1066 to 1885 ; including those pertaining to the Barons whose title remained the same after promotion to a higher grade in the peerage, such as Abergavenny, Berkeley, and Del a warn It remains now only to record the author's sense of obligation to many persons in connexion with this work ; and first, he must name with great regret those who are no more. From Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy, Professor J. S. Brewer, and the Rev. H. O. Coxe, late Bodley's Librarian, he received such strong approval of his plan, and encouragement to persevere with it, as cheered him much during many years of labour. From Messrs. John J. Bond and Alfred Kingston, Assistant Keepers of the Public Records, he early received valuable aid, by being put in the way of pursuing his researches, and later, by ready help in any difficulty. To the late Vice- Admiral Robert Hall, C.B., Secretary to the Admiralty, he was also much indebted for information given and procured. He has next to express his acknowledgments to several personal friends and other gentlemen for their kindness in promoting his labours in various ways and degrees ; and, while exonerating each from direct PREFACE. responsibility for any statement in this work, he desires especially to thank Sir Ralph W. Thompson, K.C.B., Under Secretary of State for War; Sir Albert Woods, ' Garter ; ' Sir Bernard Burke, C.B., ' Ulster ;' Mr. C. Lennox Peel, Clerk of the Privy Council ; Mr. E. B. Nicholson, Bodley's Librarian ; Mr. T. J. Mazzinghi, of the Salt Library, Stafford ; Mr. Edward Bellasis, Lancaster Herald ; the Rev. H. V. Le Bas, Preacher and Librarian at the Charterhouse ; Mr. Walford D. Selby, of the Public Record Office ; and Mr. F. Skene, of the Parliamentary Office of the House of Lords. Nor must he omit to make public acknowledgment of the unfailing promptitude with which the Registrars of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and St. Andrews, though entire strangers to him, have answered the questions which he has had occasion to send to them.
