Pedigrees from the Plea Rolls

Legg inn av Tony Ingham » 12 des 2006 02:12:25

Within the extracted material below the author has presented a copy of
an article appearing in The Genealogist, (New Series) Vol. 21, p. 213.

That article is titled 'Pedigrees fron the Plea Rolls.
By Major-General the Hon. GEORGE WROTTESLEY.'

Not only has the writer of the email neglected to tell us that he copied
part of Wrottesley's article but he has presented it in such a way as to
suggest, to me at least, that HE has studied the lawsuit and then
constructed a pedigree from the presentations of the Plaintiff and
the Defendant.

Whether he could (a) find the source material and (b) deduce the
pedigree from the content is doubtful.

Dear Newsgroup ~

Recent posts have discussed Sir William Bonville, Lord Bonville's
alleged descent from the Pomeroy and Vitré families. The chief piece of
evidence which proves Lord Bonville's Pomeroy connection is a lawsuit
dated Easter term, 27 Edward III [1353], in which Sir William Bonville's
great-grandfather, Sir William Daumarle, Knt., sued William de Bodrugan,
Knt., for the manor of Restronguet (in Mylar), Cornwall.

The details of the lawsuit are provided below, with a pedigree setting
forth the ancestry of the plaintiff and defendant as stated in the lawsuit.

De Banco. Easter. 27 Edward IIII.[sic] m. 85.

Cornwall. - William de Aumarle, Chivaler, sued William de Bodrugan,
Chivaler, for the manor of Restrouget, which Stephen Haym had given to
Henry de la Pomeraye, and Isolda, his wife, and to the heirs of their
bodies.

Henry de la Pomeray. = Isolda, temp. Edw. I. = Roger de Bodrugan.
| |
Joan. Henry.
| |
William. Oto.
| |
William de Aumarle, the plaintiff. William the
defendant.

As we can see above, the lawsuit alleges that Sir William Daumarle and
Sir William de Bodrugan shared a common descent
from a certain Iseult, wife of Henry de la Pomeray and Roger de
Bodrugan. So, what do surviving contemporary records
tell us of these people?
