    1 This is wrong. Robert Vere, earl of Oxford, who died s.p. 5 Edward III., married Margaret, daughter of Roger
Mortimer, earl of March.
    2 John Hastings, 2nd earl of Pembroke and 14th lord of Aberganvenny, K.G. By this wife he had no issue.
His 2nd wife was Anne, daughter of Sir Walter Manney, knt. He died 1375.
    3 Lady Jane, or rather Joan, was spoused to Alphonso, king of Castile and Leon, but died of the plague in 1348, when
only 14 years of age, before she was married.

   1 The intervening descents are--Anne, daughter of Roger Mortimer, earl of March, married Richard, earl of
Cambridge, who had issue Richard, duke of York, who had issue king Edward IV.                                                     
   2 In Llantilio Crossenny, Monmouthshire.
   3 The page is torn, and it is not therefore clear here what the descent of Sir David Williams is, but by reference to
other authorities he was son of Gwilym, son of John Fychan, son of Gwilym Gwyn, the son of Llewellyn, who married Joan,
daughter of Rees ap Jenkin above. He was a distinguished judge, with an estate and residence in Wales at Gwern-yfed
near Talgarth, and in England at Kingston Bagpuze in Berkshire, where he died and was buried in January 1612/3. His son
Henry was created a baronet in 1644.

   1 Why called Lord Jestyn I do not understand.  Elizabeth, dau' of Sir Thomas Oldcastle
married Walter Hacluit of Eyton in Herefordshire, and had issue Richard, Thomas, a daughter
married to Edward Cornewall, a daughter married to Richard ap Harry of Poston (Visitation
of Hereford, by Cooke, 1569.  Edited by Weaver, 1886).
   2 Sir John Harley married, Joan, dau. of John Hacluit of Eyton (Collins' Peerage).
   3 In Bacton, Herefordshire.
   4 She was the third wife of John Abrahall of Abrahall.
   5 This is incorrect: the Lady Weobley (Agnes, dau. of Thomas Crophull) was wife of
Sir Walter Devereux. Their son Walter married Anne, only child and heir of William, lord
Ferrers, and was summoned to Parliament 1 Edw. IV. as lord Ferrers.  William Herbert,
1st earl of Pembroke of the second creation, married Anne, sister of Walter, lord Ferrers.
   6 Michel, the equivalent of much or great; i.e., Sir Rees the elder.
   7 Trwyn dwn, fractured nose.
   8 James Touchet, lord Audley.                                    9 Base daughter.
  10 Simon Milbourn of Tillington in Herefordshire; he was never knighted.

Agincourt.
