Duke of Mercia and the Danes hitherto continu'd their Usurpations He was deposed from his Dukedom by King Canutus and that Part of the Kingdom of Mercia was afterwards govern'd by Earls commonly stiled the Earls of Chester Of the Earls of Chester Leofric the Son of Leofwin the Danes still continuing in these Parts was a great Lover of Chester and adorn'd it with several Buildings Algar the Son of Leofric succeeded him he died in the Year 1059 and was buried at Coventry Edwin the Son of Edgar succeeded him in his Earldom but after the Defeat of Harold by William the Conqueror the Saxon Nobility ended and this Earl was by the Conqueror carried into Normandy from whence he attempted to make his Escape into Scotland but was slain in his Journey thither as Hoveden testifies Gherbod a Fleming was the First Earl of Chester after the Conquest then Hugh Lupus had the Earldom and he was succeeded by Richard his Son Ranulph Nephew to Hugh Lupus succeeded him in the Earldom then Ranulph Son of the former Ranulph receiv'd that Dignity in 1141 was poisoned and succeeded by Hugh Kevelioc his Son then Ranulph the Third surnamed Blundevill succeeded his Brother Hugh John Scot Nephew to Ranulph succeeded him he likewise was poisoned died at Darnel Grange in the Hundred of Edsbury in Cheshire and was buried at Chester After his decease Henry the Third held that Earldom in his own Hands till he created Edward his Son Earl of that Palatinate Edward the First Son of Henry the Third succeeded him who mightily delighted in the Pleasantness of the City of Chester and for that Reason termed the Country the Vale-Royal of England he was succeeded by Simon de Montfort who was a Warrior as appears from his Battle at Lewes in Sussex wherein he defeated the King and afterwards receiv'd the Earldom of Chester he was slain at Evesham and his Honours return'd to the Crown in 1265. Edward the Second born at Carnarvan in Wales succeeded him he was Earl of Chester and Flint Edward the Third his Son was created Earl of Chester as likewise Prince of Wales and Duke of Aquitain Edward the Black Prince ensu'd next then Richard his Son born at Burdeaux likewise assum'd the Title of Prince of Chester as Wallingham testifies Henry the Fifth was after him Prince of Wales Duke of Cornwall and Earl of Chester Henry the Sixth succeeded him in that Earldom the next Earl was Edward Son of Henry the Sixth he was murthered at Tewksbury by Richard Crouchback Edward the Fifth succeeded him who was likewise murthered by his Uncle Edward the Son of King Richard the Third was next Earl of Chester then Arthur Eldest Son to Henry the Seventh who was succeeded by Henry the Eighth his Brother afterward Edward the Sixth then Prince Henry Eldest Son of King James the First and he was succeeded by King Charles the First and he by Charles the Second his Eldest Son Thus it remains Titular to the Royal Family and for ought appears may continue so for a Series of endless Generations The Bishops of Mercia The Two First Bishops were Diama and Ceollah Two Scotch Men the Third was Tramkere an English Man but ordain'd by the Scots after him Iarnman or German as Bede relates it To these succeeded Bishops who had sometimes their Sees at Coventry sometimes at Chester but most commonly at Litchfield Those were all in the Saxon Government of whom there is a full Account in Ingulphus Bede and others The First after the Conquest was Petrus who removed his Seat from Litchfield to Chester but was afterwards alter'd by Robert Pecaam who had Three Seats Chester Litchfield and Coventry but the Episcopal Seat was again restor'd to Chester in King Henry the Eighth's Time and that of St. Werburgh appointed the Cathedral Church and the Bishop made a Suffragan of York The Catalogue of the Bishops after that Time may be seen at large in Godwin and others The Barons of Chester The First Barons we read of were Nigell Baron of Haulton Robert Baron de Mount Hault Seneschal or Steward of the County of Chester who dying without Issue it came to Isabell Queen of England by Settlement and Iohn de Eltham Earl of Cornwall and his Heirs thence to William de Malbedenge Baron of Malbanc whose Great Grand-daughters transferr'd this Inheritance by their Marriages to the Vernons and Bassetts and for want of an Heir Male to Vernon Baron of Sipbroke it came by the Sisters to the Willburhams Staffords and Littleburys Robert Fitz-Hugh Baron of Malpas Hammons de Massey Fittons de Bolin Gilbert Venables Baron of Kinderton Warrens of Pointon Barons of Stockport descended from the Noble Family of the Earls of Warren and Surrey succeeded in Right of Marriage I have not met with any farther Antiquities of Chester or the County but by what has already been discover'd we may assuredly conclude the City of Chester to have been the most Ancient and August Colony in these Parts Derbyshire especially the Peak which in the Saxon Language fignifies Eminence part of the famous Mercian Kingdom whose Inhabitants were call'd Coritani will afford us but a slender Scene of Antiquities the very Nature of the Place rendring it inhospitable to Mankind and at the same time indulgent to Wolves and Beasts of Prey yet withal we may with Admiration contemplate the Conduct of wife and provident Nature where amidst all this unpolish'd Rubbish of the Globe she her self sits in State and displays her Works equally compatible with the most desirable Objects Those uneven Mountains she has made pregnant with a very useful and necessary Mettal and as useful Minerals she has here and there scatter'd her Disports for the Diversion of the Curious and cut out large Themes for Philosophical Enquiries she liberally affords Hot and Mineral Waters for the Relief and Comfort of infirm and decrepid Mortals so that these untractable and dispeopl'd Parts become frequented with numerous Crouds who yearly arrive here either through a Prospect of Ease from their Pains and Infirmities or for the pleasing Entertainment of the Mind with new Objects of which these Parts are very prolifick I will as briefly as I can give you my Thoughts of what is most remarkable I have not heard of any Roman Antiquities save that Place call'd Little Chester mention'd by Mr. Cambden where Coins of several sorts and different Mettals are sometimes dug up some of Copper Silver and Gold and an Altar mention'd by Mr. Gibson dug up near Bakewell in the Grounds belonging to Haddon House the present Seat of the Right Honourable the Earl of Rutland with this Inscription DEO MARTI BRACIACAE OSITIUS CAECILIAN PRAEFECT TRO V. S.

VICT. This seems to be an Altar dedicated to Fortune by Lucius Senecianus Martius Brutus a Commander in the Sixth Legion which remained in York in the Time of Severus his being there after he had vanquished Albinus General of the Britains and reduced their State under his Obedience It was surnamed Victrix and is plac'd by Dio in Lower Britain and the Twentieth Legion surnamed also Victrix remain'd at Chester which was plac'd in Higher Britain This Division it seems was made by the said Severus and the Country about it where these Legions were were divided into little Regions since call'd Hydes This was part of the Kingdom of Deiara several of whose Youth being sent to Rome and Pope Gregory admiring their Beauty sent over Augustine to convert the English Edward the First King of the West Saxons and afterwards of the Mercians sent into the Kingdom of the Northumbers an Army of the Mercians saith Hoveden ordering that they should fortifie the City of Manchester and place valiant Soldiers in it it being defac'd by the Danes It was a Frontier Town betwixt the Mercians that inhabited Cheshire and Derbyshire and the Northumbers inhabiting Lancashire and Yorkshire and in their Wars and mutual Incursions was sometimes possessed by the Mercians and sometimes the Northumbers Thus far our Author proceeds As to the present State of the Town it is vastly populous of great Trade Riches and Industry particularly for the Fustian Manufacture and Printing them as for those likewise which are call'd Manchester Wares both which are now sent all over the Kingdom as well as to the Indies It is watered by the Rivers Erwell and Irke Little can be added of Lancaster for Antiquity save that it was doubtless a Roman Fortress as appears by the Roman Wall and Road leading to it it is at this time a very thriving Corporation and an improving Port Its Eminency chiefly lies in this that many Branches of the Royal Family have enjoy'd Titles deriv'd from it which for the Dignity of the County in general I will enumerate as briefly as possible The First that was stiled Lord of the Place in the Beginning of the Norman Government was Roger of Poictou surnamed Pictarensis because his Wife came out of Poictou in France He was succeeded in that Honour by William Earl of Morton and Warren upon whose Death King Richard the First bestow'd it on his Brother Iohn afterwards King of England of whom Gualter De Hemingford and R. Hoveden gives this Account That King Richard shew'd great Affection to his Brother Iohn for besides Ireland and the Earldom in Normandy he bestow'd upon him such great Preferment in England that he was in a manner Tetrarch there For he gave him Cornwall Lancaster Nottingham and Derby with the adjacent Country and many other Things After this King Henry III. Son of King Iohn promoted his younger Son Edmund Crouchback he having been prevented of the Kingdoms of Sicily and Apuleia to the Earldom of Lancaster giving it in these Words The Honour Earldom Castle and Town of Lancaster with the Cow-Pastures which at this Day they call Vaccaries from thence and Forest of Wiresdale Lownsdale New-Castle under Lime with the Mannor Forest and Castle of Pickering the Mannor of Scateby the Village of Gormancester and the Rents of the Town of Huntingdon Edmund had Issue Thomas Henry and Iohn who died unmarried which Thomas was Second Earl of Lancaster and was succeeded in that Honour by his Brother Henry whose Son Henry was in Parliament created Duke of Lancaster being the Second Dukedom that was erected in England that of Cornwall being the First in the Person of Edward the Black Prince and left Two Daughters Maud Dutchess of Bavaria and Blanch married to Iohn of Gaunt so call'd because he was born at Ghent in Flanders Fourth Son of Edward the Third who thereby coming to the whole Estate and being now equal to many Kings in Wealth was created Duke of Lancaster by his Father he also obtain'd the Royalties from him and the King then advanced the County of Lancaster into a Palatinate By this Rescript wherein after he had declar'd the great Service he had done his Country at Home and Abroad he adds We have granted from Us and our Heirs to our Son aforesaid that he during his Term of Life shall have within the County of Lancaster his Chancery and his Writs to be issued out under his own Seal belonging to the Office of Chancellor his Justices likewise as well for Pleas of the Crown as for other Pleas relating to Common Law to have Cognizance of them and to have Power of making all Executions whatsoever by his Writs and Officers and to have all other Liberties and Royalties whatsoever appertaining to a County Palatine as freely and fully as the Earl of Chester within the said County is known to have Nor was he only Duke of Lancaster but by Marriage with Constantia Daughter to Peter King of Castile sometime bore the Title of King of Leon and Castile but by Contract he parted with this Title and in the Thirteenth of King Richard the Second was created Duke of Aquitaine by Consent of Parliament to the great Dissatisfaction of the Country At that Time his Titles were Iohn Son to the King of England Duke of Aquitaine and Lancaster Earl of Derby Lincoln and Leicester and High Steward of England After this Henry de Bullingbrook his Son succeeded in the Dutchy of Lancaster who having deposed Richard the Second obtained the Crown and conferr'd that Honour upon Henry his Son afterwards King of England and that he might entail it upon him and his Heirs for ever he had an Act of Parliament made in these Words We being unwilling that our said Inheritance or Liberties by reason of our now assuming the Regal Seat and Diguity shou'd be any ways chang'd transferr'd diminish'd or impair'd but that our said Inheritance with its Liberties and Rights aforesaid shou'd in the same Manner and Form Condition and State wherein they descended and fell to us and also with all and singular Liberties Franchizes and Priviledges Commodities and Profits whatsoever which our Lord and Father in his Life-time had and held it for term of his Life by Grant of the late King Richard and wholly
