The lady lived all her life in view of the public, her whereabouts known to
the court and residing in the midst of an extremely nosy royal family or for
a while as the governor-general's consort in Canada: she was never observed
to be pregnant, she never disappeared, she was never suspected of being
confined or delivered of a baby, no-one ever claimed to be her child or to
have spirited one away, and if you insist on being such a contrary fool, she
was never seen to be gaining milk.

There is no ponfiticating about it - a woman who didn't have children didn't
have them, full stop.

Princess Louise was born in 1848 and died in 1939, at 91.

Stewart never even saw her -- much less spend every moment of her life
with her.

There is no possible way that Pogue Stewart can know to an absolute

We have no evidence that Princess Louise ever had a child -- so the

Pogue Stewart needs to work on his English Language skills -- clarity

Princess Louise had no known children.

Her husband, who became duke of Argyll a few decades after their marriage,
was too much interested in his own sex - Louise had to have some windows
bricked over at Kensington Palace to stop his nocturnal adventures in Hyde
Park. Whether or not this worked for her, she didn't go adventuring beyond
their connubial arrangements, and sublimated her maternal instincts in art
(both her own work and in the interests of other artists). By all accounts
she was a good woman, unlike some notoriously sour maidens in the royal
family, and deserved a happier life.

While Marquess of Lorne, Argyll was governor-general of
Canada (1878-83) where he and Princess Louise were
very popular. He founded institutions like the National
Gallery and Royal Society of Canada and Lorne became
a Canadian name popular to this day (cf. actor Lorne Green.)

Why? The post stated "30 or more" and also it stated "22 or more".
So it seems the only thing we could say based on that is BEF 1249 or maybe

Aline and Hugh le Despencer had a son Hugh b 1 Mar 1260/1 didn't they?
Is this date in dispute? Or is his legitimacy in dispute?

Dear Patricia ~

Thank you for posting these records. Much appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the third item involving Sir Robert Butevileyn,
whose former wife Aline was a member of the Basset family. Do you have
any particulars regarding the Butevileyn family?

In your 4th item, you'll note that Aline Basset, widow of Hugh le
Despenser, is styled "lady Alina la (Desp)enser, Countess of Norfolk."
It was correct for clerks in the medieval period to use the feminine
form "la Despenser" or "la Despensere" when addressing female members
of the le Despenser family. In contrast, modern historians and
genealogists today refer to both male and female members of this family
alike as "le Despenser." This is part of the price we pay for
standardization and modernization of name forms.

Dear Will ~

You are, of course, correct. In 1271, on the death of Sir Philip
Basset, the manor of Compton Bassett, Wiltshire fell to his daughter
and sole heiress, Aline Basset, widow (not wife) of Hugh le Despenser
(died 1265). Aline was actually remarried by that date to Roger le
Bigod, Earl of Norfolk.

Aline (Basset) (le Despenser) le Bigod died in 1281, when the Basset
inheritance fell to her son and heir, Hugh le Despenser, later Earl of
Winchester.

Not in Scotland, where a different custom prevailed and still applies
for titles that were created in the Scottish peerage. Most (if not all)
such earldoms can pass to a female in the absence of a male heir having
precedence over her, whether or not she has younger sisters.

This is the heart of the problem. Without the equivalent of an Académie
française or Accademia della Crusca, how do English speakers decide what
is
good English? One method is the way we learned the language and continue
to
expand it. We watch how others use it, paying particular attention to
those
who do so to good effect. This requires us to exercise our own judgment,
especially about what is effective.


Well said - nonetheless, the very worst grammar can be the most effective
means of communication at times.

Remember Eliza Dolittle in "My Fair Lady", unforgettably splitting an adverb
"Abso-bloomin'-lutely". Not recommended by hide-bound grammarians, but
certainly not to be avoided for that reason. In my army days I heard some
expressions of punchier speech in this vein (not only from Cockney troopers)
that bowed to no rule of grammar, but that unfortunately are not fit to be
posted here.

The late, eminent Qang Phuc Dong did publish a paper on this type of

split construction, and did not let the possible delicacy of some
of his audience cause him to eschew the many resounding examples he
spiced his paper with.

Jack

The cumulative judgment of speakers and writers will inevitably move the
English language along & change notions of correctness over time. If anyone
feels something to be wrong, and thinks a reason for this can be identified,
it is almost always better practice to recast the sentence. Failing to do
this with a split infinitive may be common and acceptable - but not very
smart without acknowledgment in a thread about correct grammar.

As the father only had daughters, the title was re-granted allowing Isabel
to inherit but of course only after his death.

Peter 'Pogue' Stewart is having another one of his brain spasms.

Falling off his motorcycle while drunk and smashing his head against the
cobblestones at Oxford has made him damaged goods.

Princess Louise was born in 1848 and died in 1939, at 91.

Stewart never even saw her -- much less spend every moment of her life
with her.

There is no possible way that Pogue Stewart can know to an absolute
certainty that she never had a child.

We have no evidence that Princess Louise ever had a child -- so the
proper way to state the facts as we know them is:

_Princess Louise had no known children._

This is either precious & mealy-mouthed folly, or it betrays that Spencer
lives in a kind of "National Enquirer" fog of credulity.

If someone asks "Did Queen Elizabeth II secretly marry Charlie Chaplin and
have a set of triplets by him before her wedding to Philip Mountbatten?"
Spencer's only answer apparently would be "Not to my knowledge". If asked
whether aliens are crossing the universe in flying saucers with the sole
aim
of probing the fundaments of a few hill-billies in Arkansas and bi-polar
Californians, Spencer must lamely reply "I don't think so, but direct
evidence is not available to me". How very limp of mind he is.

By the way, I never claimed to have set eyes on Princess Louise, and
nothing
of the sort was implied in my posts. Spencer needs to hone his
comprehension
skills.

And then he would try to explain why childlessness was the greatest sorrow

Perhaps she forgot. Spencer always knows more about other people's lives

The lady lived all her life in view of the public, her whereabouts known
to the court and residing in the midst of an extremely nosy royal family
or for a while as the governor-general's consort in Canada: she was never
observed to be pregnant, she never disappeared, she was never suspected of
being confined or delivered of a baby, no-one ever claimed to be her child
or to have spirited one away

I am reliably informed that this is wrong - a man named Nicholas Locock, who
had been adopted by the son of a former court gynaecologist, apparently did
claim to be the love-child of Princess Louise and an officer who was
dismissed from the court for his trouble.

However, the man was as crazy in this as Spencer Hines in his preposterous
latter-day imaginings. Louise's whereabouts are recorded up to the time of
his birth, including a family party just a month before at which she was
"dancing the perpetual jig" according to her sister-in-law Alexandra,
princess of Wales.

Pure nonsense in other words, of the kind that many families with
unexplained additions indulged in throughout the Victorian era. Elizabeth
Longford concluded "If there was a connection with the court at all, it
seems more probable that some well-born young lady, known to Queen Victoria
and pitied by her, was the mother of the Locock baby".

And of course, after she was married any child born to Louise would have
been a Campbell - either heir to the dukedom of Argyll & all the honours
that go with it, or a highly marriageable commodity if female. Unless
Spencer will tell us, perhaps, that she might have given birth to a black or
fuzzy-wuzzy bairn.

Dear Patricia ~

Thank you for posting these records. Much appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the third item involving Sir Robert Butevileyn,
whose former wife Aline was a member of the Basset family. Do you have
any particulars regarding the Butevileyn family?

In your 4th item, you'll note that Aline Basset, widow of Hugh le
Despenser, is styled "lady Alina la (Desp)enser, Countess of Norfolk."
It was correct for clerks in the medieval period to use the feminine
form "la Despenser" or "la Despensere" when addressing female members
of the le Despenser family. In contrast, modern historians and
genealogists today refer to both male and female members of this family
alike as "le Despenser." This is part of the price we pay for
standardization and modernization of name forms.

There is no "PRATFALL" involved in this: the silly claim of Nicholas Locock
doesn't stand up to investigation any better than if, say, a lunatic in an
asylum should say he or she is Napoleon Bonaparte. Would a responsible
historian in your opinion then have to say "Bonaparte is not known to have
survived his time on St Helena, but in light of certain statements to the
effect that he is still living & may have changed gender, absolute certainty
on this is impossible"?

As to the typo 1956 for 1856, if there is a "dodge" in my post rectifying
this please point it out. Maybe you would do well to run a search on the
terms "D. Spencer Hines" and "recte" in order to remind yourself how easy it

chose to ask her three questions so that she could focus on the issues
at hand and sort through the problem areas. To date she has made a
good effort. She has determined that the Philip de Gay who Mr. Crouch
mentioned in his article was born well before 1144/5. So far, so good.

Between the two families, the Gay and Marshal families are ancestral to
virtually everyone who posts here on the newsgroup with English noble
ancestry. The connection between Aline (de Gay) Basset and her
grandmother, Aline (Pipard) (le Marshal) de Gay, is real and can be
proven. Yet, strangely, to my knowledge no one has presented any
evidence for such a connection here on the newsgroup. It's also been
overlooked by Complete Peerage, Keats-Rohan, Crouch, the Victoria
County History, etc. - ALL the published authorities.

Why do you think that is so?

That is a private question for you, Peter. Answer it, if you can.
Myself, I believe you lack the appropriate background and training in
English records in this period to answer the question. I know I'm
being a bit blunt here, Peter. But we're start to get to the heart of
the issue.

This is a reasonable point. However, a few regular posters make a

thread to which they are contributing, as in a circular letter, and
this is surely just a harmless idiosyncrasy that wouldn't deter

There is no possible way that Pogue Stewart can know to an absolute

_Princess Louise had no known children._

Princess Louise was the patron of the 8th Princess Louise's New Brunswick

the 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards (now reduced to nil strength, but

You cannot moderate an existing group. In order to create a new

Are you confused about the proposal? The proposal is to have a
mdoerated group. But this group cannot be moderated.

If you want people to leave this group, there is no power to achieve
this. This only way to control the membership is by forming a moderated
group. As you want various people to leave, the only way to do this is
for yourself to leave and join the moderated group. Then you, or
the moderator rather, can exclude anyone they don't like.

Are you in favour of the proposal to have a moderated group?

You seem to think I hold personal grudges - I don't.

My remarks, no matter how insulting, are prompted by the contents of
posts to SGM that I find objectionable. I am not bothered about the
people, or person, making such posts: in Richardson's case, as I've
said before, there are untold degrees of separation between us, since
to my knowledge I've never even set eyes on anyone who has actually met
him.

I also don't take to heart insults that are directed at me in reaction
to criticism. "Rabid dog" means no more to me than indicating a nerve
has been struck at the other end.

There is not likely to be any change in my approach while I participate
in SGM. When I see someone representing himself as expert in primary
sources that were written in laguages he patently can't understand, I
will call him a liar. When he publishes immense bibliographies padded
up with such records that he has at best only skimmed in a
word-spotting exercise, I will call him a fraud. When he persists in
compounding opinions that are logically indefensible in order to
assuage an ego that has been painted into a corner by his own initial
error, I will call him a fool.

Are you confused about the proposal? The proposal is to have a
mdoerated group. But this group cannot be moderated.

If you want people to leave this group, there is no power to achieve
this. This only way to control the membership is by forming a moderated
group. As you want various people to leave, the only way to do this is
for yourself to leave and join the moderated group. Then you, or
the moderator rather, can exclude anyone they don't like.

Are you in favour of the proposal to have a moderated group?

Dear Newsgroup ~

Peter Stewart's fresh outrage again spotlights the need for change on
the medieval genealogy newsgroup. Simply put, the current arrangement
on sgm is not working.

It is impossible to conduct a normal discussion of scholarly matters
when Mr. Stewart desires to cry "liar," "fraud," and "fool" at every
opportunity. His obsessive behavior is destroying the value of the
newsgroup.

I believe sanity should prevail. That means a moderated group.

to my knowledge I've never even set eyes on anyone who has actually

him.

I also don't take to heart insults that are directed at me in
reaction
to criticism. "Rabid dog" means no more to me than indicating a nerve

There is not likely to be any change in my approach while I
participate
in SGM. When I see someone representing himself as expert in primary
sources that were written in laguages he patently can't understand, I
will call him a liar. When he publishes immense bibliographies padded
up with such records that he has at best only skimmed in a
word-spotting exercise, I will call him a fraud. When he persists in
compounding opinions that are logically indefensible in order to
assuage an ego that has been painted into a corner by his own initial
error, I will call him a fool.

Ah, but I didn't simply 'cry "liar", "fraud" and "fool"', did I? These
remarks of mine were addressed to specific behaviours, which you are free to
deny just as specifically if you wish, or rather to defend since they can
scarcely be denied.

Richardson can have the "blessing" (according to Mike Welch, who

Re: descents from medieval clergy

Legg inn av Matthew Hovius » 3. mai 2005 kl. 7.58

Another possibility for descent from medieval clergy may be John de
Macclesfield (1351-1422). "Having been ordained a priest in 1378, he
migrated to London two years later and became a clerk at the King's
privy seal... Although a priest in holy orders, John de Macclesfield
sired five sons by his consort, Katherine Kingsley." [Macclesfield's
`Great Place´, Macclesfield Borough Council, 1998]. I've not had time
to properly research this line, but have long suspected that this John
is identical to the "John Machelsfeld of Guysnes" shown in the Antrobus
of St Albans pedigree (Visitation of Hertfordshire, 1572, pp. 123-4),
or is perhaps his eldest son John. The arms shown in the visitation are
identical to those given for John's Macclesfield/Kingsley offspring in
the above booklet, drawn from the research of David Maxfield, and the
Antrobus' onetime home of Knutsford is today part of the borough of
Macclesfield.

The problem is that this newsgroup cannot be altered.

So you have to set up a separate newsgroup or mailing list or, even,

Moderation - To have or not have

Legg inn av Leo van de Pas » 4. mai 2005 kl. 0.29

I agree and I disagree. In an ideal world everybody would be polite and
stick to the rules.
But even by appearing polite, people can break rules and be offensive.

The request not to advertise wares or services is being broken at times on a
daily basis, always by one and the same person.

Polite is to explain, when asked, to justify information you have presented.
There is this person who most of the time refuses to explain or justify, and
either asks questions in return or ignores or goes off into tantrums.

Then there is this polite person who throws insults at people but screams
blue murder when he is on the receiving end.

Then there is a person who for years has not contributed to the subject of
genealogy or history but is out on belittling people.

The hardest part I find is: when is a person unacceptable? And then, who is
the arbiter to cut off access to the group for that person? We recently have
seen what happened to Chico Doria. Is there a more polite, kind or helpful
person than Chico? He was deemed unacceptable by another group's moderator.

By policing too vigorously you also run the risk of creating groups ganging
up on one person, because by being vocal against a person they might get him
or her expelled.

I still think gen-med is the best solution, at times it seems obviously
flawed but then people are flawed.

The most important aspect, in my opinion, is that people contribute, help
and share. Yes, their behaviour is very important, of course, but not
everybody is gentle and polite. We live in a robust world and we should be
able to cope with some unfriendly language.

What to do when offended? Either you defend yourself (if it was in regards
to yourself) or you ignore. And what if a person continues to be offensive?
Kill file.

Everybody (well almost everybody) has gone outside some of the guidelines. I
don't mind if people ask 17th century questions because most of us have
knowledge that just might encompass the answer needed. We should be tolerant
and if asked to justify we should, ignoring questions you have created is
one of the most offensive things (even when done politely) I see on gen-med.

Should we be capable of expelling people? I don't know. Most "unacceptable"
people still contribute, and contributing is what we should be about. Also
some people should be more flexible in their ability to acknowledge that
_they just could be wrong_ and less grandstanding would/could also improve
communications. Nobody is an expert in everything and nobody should pretend
to be one. Accepting when told you are wrong can be so helpful. Defend what
you believe but once you have to acknowledge you are wrong, say so! Next
time you are wrong people may not bother to set you right, and that is your
loss.

I think Gen-Med is for me the best way as it is.

Thank you, Douglas for clarifying the wife of James de Ros. May I ask what

see no reference to Hucumanby.

There were several Chancery suits between William and Alice Bernak's

held interest in Tattershall. The findings seem to be that Maud had a better
claim to the inheritance than John de Kirketon. Kirketon's IPM reflects "

Cromwell and Maud his wife had demised them with the king's licence for the
term of John de Kirketon's life, with reversion to Ralph and Maud and
Maud's heirs. "

As late as 1280, the Gant family had interest in Hunmanby. Extract of
proceedings in Quo Warranto - ref. zDDHU/9/1 - date: 30 Sep 1280 (a) on
claim of Gilbert de Gaunt and Richard Malebyse to whales in the port of
Fyfle (Filey), reserving their heads and tails to the Crown. Gilbert de
Gaunt claims to have had one moiety since the Conquest; and Richard Malebyse
to have had the other of the gift of Walter son of Gislebert (an ancestor of
Gilbert de Gaunt) to Ralph de Nevill (an ancestor of Richard Malebyse) (b)
on claim of Gilbert de Gaunt to have free chase in Swaledale; free warren at
Helawe and wreck of the sea at Hunmanby[Hundemanbie]. In the 1304 IPM of
Robert Tateshale: "); and five carucates in Rythton and Marten held of
Richard Malbys "


Joan was granting "third part of two-thirds of the manor" to James and Maud
Bernak de Ros. In 1343, Isabel late the wife of William de Hestyng the
elder to retain a messuage, land, and rent in Hunmanby settled on her and
the said William for life, with remainder to Peter de Malo Lacu `le quint'
and his heirs, by the said William, who acquired them from William de
Hestyng the younger, who acquired them from Peter de Malo Lacu `le quart. 16
EDWARD III.

I believe it will be important to attempt to find those who held the other
thirds of this manor.

Thank you for additional thoughts.

Dear Doug ~

If you check the newsgroup archives, you'll find that I previously
identified the maiden name and parentage of Maud de Bernake, wife of
Sir James de Roos, of Gedney, Lincolnshire for Patricia Junkin. I've
copied my post below for easy reference. Maud's identity was
discovered while I was doing research for my forthcoming book, Magna
Carta Ancestry.

I believe you can find a reference to the 1323 land grant of Joan (de
Tateshall) de Driby to her granddaughter, Maud (de Bernake) de Roos, in
the book, Inquisitions ad Quod Damnum. Good luck in your sleuthing!

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Dear Patricia ~

Thank you for your good post.

You have correctly observed that Joan (de Tateshall) de Driby settled
lands in 1323 on James de Roos, and his wife, Maud, and the heirs of
their bodies, with reversion to the heirs of Maud. Since this property
in Hunmanby, Yorkshire was part of Joan's inheritance, and since the
remainder was set to go to the heirs of Maud, this is all a good
indication that Maud was near related to Joan de Driby. Also, this
settlement appears to have taken place about the time of Maud's
marriage. As such, this settlement was almost certainly intended to
serve as Maud's maritagium.

As it turns out, Maud de Roos was Joan's own granddaughter, being the
child of William de Bernake, by his wife, Alice, daughter of Robert de
Driby and Joan de Tateshale.

Evidence of Maud de Roos' maiden name can be found in the records of
Belvoir Priory which shows that anniversary of Maud Bernak, widow of
Sir James de Ros, was kept at Belvoir Priory 24 October [Reference:
Nichols, Hist. & Antiq. of Leicestershire 2(1) (1795): Appendix, pp.
23, 37].

Further information on the Roos family of Gedney, Lincolnshire will be
found in my forthcoming book, Magna Carta Ancestry, scheduled for
publication in June 2005. Please contact me offline for details
regarding ordering the book.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
