THE THE (1075 Gentleman's Magazine: For DECEMBER, 1791. BEING THE SIXTH NUMBER OF VOL. LXI. PART II. Mr. URBAN, *XXX * I * Dec. 6. BEG an early infertion of fuch answer as I can give to the feveral enquiries of your correfpondKent J. N. in p. 480. *XXX# Mr. Bridges has not deduced a regular fuc. ceffion of the Roffes at Stoke d'Albini; but I conceive Joba, whom your correfpondent enquires after, to be a grand fon of Robert, who acquired this manor by marriage with Ifabel, heiress of Albini, and fecond fon of William de Ros by Maud de Vaux. A particular account of him may be seen in Dugd. Bar. I. 549, where he is called "a perfon eminent in his time." He was of the party of Queen Ifabel and the others, whom Edward II, at the inftigation of the Spenfers, had banished. He landed with her and the prince 20 Edward II; and, being in great favour with the young king, Edward III, was, on the depofal of his father, conftituted flew ard of his household in the first year of his reign, and employed in Scotland, accompanied by his brother Thomas (whom, by the-bye, Dugdale omits in the preceding page). He was one of the twelve lords by whom it was refolved the king in his minority should be governed1. 2 Edward III. he was governor of Somerton caftle, in Lincolnhire; and 7 Edw. III. was in Scotland with his father; 10 Edw. III. was conftituted admiral of the fea from the Thames Northward; 11 Edw. III. was in Gafcoigne, and had a grant of free warren on his lands in Nottingham and Oxfordshires; 12 Edw. III. an allow ance was made on his petition to be reimbursed the expence of arraying men while he was admiral and employed beyond fea He had fummons to parliament from 1 to 11 Edw. III, but died before the end of the next year without iffue, and his brother William became heir to his eftates in Lel. Coll. 1. 684. Kuighton, p. 2556. the counties of Nottingham, Norfolk, and York, faving to Margaret his widow a reasonable dower. Who fhe was does not appear. His brother obtained 200 marks for his burial. No mention of him occurs in the parishes of Kelling and Salthouse, Norfolk, where he held the manors 3; but Blomefield fays, that William gave Watton for life to John, his younger brother, who died feifed of it about 1337, and, having no iffue, his brother was repoffeffed of it. I think we have here authority enough for concluding this John to be the bon (not bonne) compagnon here recorded. His chearful or convivial turn might recommend him to Prince Edward, or a diftinguifhed fpirit of gallantry to his mother. In fhort, he might be what we now call a fhrewd clever fellow; and it appears, from the fcanty circumstances in which he died, that he was no great economist. Perhaps he spent more on the tower of Stoke Albini church than he could afford, at leaft if the tradition be true that he was founder of the church, and the Ros to whom the arms on the South fide of the tower are to be appropriated; or, as he feems to have been a favourite with his brother, the lord of the manor, he may have honoured his memory by a cenotaph in this church, or by allowing him to refide on his manfion here: for his father and anceftors lived at Kirkham, in Yorkshire. This John will have been great great grandfon of Robert, furnamed Furfan, whofe monument in the Temple churchs fhews him to have been a hand fome man, and perhaps also a good companion. Sir Robert de Ros was appointed, 1442, to treat for a marriage of Henry VI. with a daughter of the Count of Armagnac . Being one of the king's carvers, he was fent on an embally to France 1444 7. 2 Walfingham, 12 Edward 111. 2 lb. 53, 80, 195, 206, 210, 214, 216, 123. 1076 Hiflorical Particulars of the antient Family of Ros. At the inftallation of Abp. Warham the office of chamberlain was claim ed by Bartholomew Lord Badlefinere in right of his manor of Hatefield, near Cherrings, held of the Archbishop by that fervice. This is the manor of Hotefield, now Hothfield, in the hundred of Chart and LongFridge, in Kent, held in fee of the Crown by grant of Edward H. to Bartholomew de Badlefmere, who appears to have held it by grand fergeanty of the Abp. of Canterbury; and, & Edward H. claimed, and was allowed, to perform the office of great chamberlain to Abp. Reynolds, and ferve up water for him to wath his hands; his fee for which was the furniture of the room, and the bafon and towel: but there are fome doubts about his claim to this fervice in the record in Battelev; which fee; and Hafted's Kent, III. 252, and note. The manor was forfeited to the Crown by this Bartholomew, who was attainted and hanged; but it was restored by Edward 111. to his fon Giles; who dying without iffue 12 Edward III. his eftate devolved to his four filters; and this manor fell to the fhare of Margaret, wife of William Lord Ros of Hamlake, whole defcendants held it till the reign of Edward IV. 9 Elizabeth, Lady Ros, whofe monument, engraved in Dart's Weftminster Abbey, 1. 29, is mounted over Brocas' tomb, died 1591. Cecilia was fecond wife and relict of Francis, 6th Earl of Rutland, and one of the daughters of Sir John Tufton, father of the firft Earl of Thanet, and owner of Hothefield manor abovementioned, by grant from Henry VIII. at the end of his reign 10. The only and indeed beft authority for burying this lady in St. Nicholas's chapel, Weftminder, is the regifter of the church; and it is probable The might be depofited with, or near, a former branch of the fame family, though not, like her, honoured with a monument from John the eighth earl, who, being of a different branch of the family, was not very nearly related to her. In a letter to Dr. Thoroton, dated July 20, 1670 (of which the original is now before me), Sir William Dugdale Jays, "I have good draughts of all the monuments at Bottesford, as well thote [Dec, which were translated from Belvoir pri ory at the diffolution (as 'tis faid), as of the earls of Rutland fince." And is apperts from the Hiftory of Nottinghamihire, p. 114, that Sir William had prepared "a particular Hiftory of the Lords of Belvoir," which in 1679 was nearly ready for the prefs. Qu. In whofe poffeffion are thofe drawings, or Dugdale's MS History? 8 Appendix to Batteley's Canterbury, No. XX. p. 20. See Hafted, loc. cit.; fee alfo Dugdale, B. 1. 549. 49 Hafted III. 252. I conclude by wishing Mr. J. N. may obtain a good picture of him to decorate the Hiflory of Leicestershire; for which, if I can jmell a rat, I prefume it to be deftined. The fame good office would not be ill-beftowed on a Knight-tempiar, perhaps of this family, whole ftatue, probably removed from the ruins of Kirkham " 2 or Rievaulx monaftery, where the Roffes were buried till the middle of the 15th century, is placed on a pedestal on a piece of ground without the city of York, called Hobmoor, and faid to have been given to the city by one Heb, who perhaps was Robert I. lineal ancestor of John, and a great benefactor to the Knights-templars, among whom his grandfon Robert Furfan was buried. As the place of interment of Robert I. and his fon Everard are not specified, we may fuppofe it was Ribflane, where the Templars founded a preceptory, and which is nearer York on the West than the other two houfes on the Eafi *2. When I was at York, 1785, I saw in Newgate-lane, fet up in the wall, a cross-legged figure, with a 1ound helmet, coat of mail, cushion under his head fupported by angels, fword at his left fide, on his fhoulder a cross patoncé under a barrulet, fuppofed a younger brother of the Latimer family, who pro bably accompanied his relation in the croifades of Henry III. and Edward 1.13 I mention this ftatue 4 only as a fimilar inftance with that abovementioned, and unnoticed by Mr. Drake, or any other York Antiquary; and am, Mr. Urban, yours and J. N's humble fervant, R. G. 34 Dec. 19. Mr. URBAN, N Cantuaria Sacra, p. 59, it is related, that, at the inthroning of Abp. Camden, 111. 69, that the beautiful gate of 11 It appears from the new edition of Kirkham priory till remains, with ftatues and various armorial bearings. But I know not that any view has been published of thers. 12 Drake's York, p. 398.. 13 Dugd. 1. 30. 14 We hope fome friendly correfpondent at York will favour us with drawings and defcriptions of both thefe curious Statues.
