Edwinus Comes anteatenuerat And the Earledome of Arundell which Harald poessessed he granted with a fee unto Roger of Montgomery The first two of which Honours the Heires male fayling by Women passed unto other Families But the latter Earldome Robert the Son of Roger being attainted of Treason returned unto King Henry the First who gave the same in Dowry unto Queen Adeliza his wife But the succeeding Kings more sparingly bestowed such dignities to be holden of them in Fee granting for the better and more honourable maintenance of their stocke add honour the third part of the pleas of the Countie as they term it which they in their Charters cal Tertium denarium or the third penny so that he that received the third penny of any province was called Earle of the same and so by custome the Women the Heires male fayling And if any Earle or Baron dying without Sons had many Women his heires howsoever order was taken either by way of Covenant or partition concerning the Lands possessions according to the Common Laws of the Kingdome yet the dignitie and Honour a thing of it selfe indivisable was still left to be dispos'd of according to the Kings pleasure who in bestowing there of usually respected the prerogative of birth by which right K. Henry the third after the death of Iohn the Scot dead without issue other Lands and revenews being by agreement given to his three Sisters united the Earldom of Chester with the honour thereof unto the Crown This is manifest in the Earldome of Arundell which after Robert Be lisme Son to the aforesaid Roger Mountgomery driven out by Henry the first K. Henry the second bestowed upon william of Albine Q. Adeliza his Mothers husband and by a new Charter confirmd it in fee together with the Inheritance to him and his Heires with the third pleas of Sussex whereof he created him Earle But Hugh the great Nephew of this william the first being dead without issue all the Earldome was divided among his foure Sisters whose dignitie and honour for all that together with the Castle of Arundel was by Edward the first at length given to Richard Fitz-Alan the Nephews Sonne to Iohn Fitz-Alan and Isabell the second of the aforesaid Sisters I will now passe from Henry the third to Edward the first his Sonne there being for a time great dissention betwixt him and certaine of his Nobility viz. Gilbert of Clare Earle of Hartford and of Glocester Humphrey of Bohun Earle of Hereford and Sussex and Constable of England and Roger Bigod Earle of Norfolke Marshall of the Kingdome and that all those Noblemen at length had lost their Earldoms and Offices they being reconcil'd to the King afterward they againe by new Charters received the same in this manner The first of them to himselfe and Ioane his Wife the same K. Daughter his second wife for term of both their lives to the children to be by both of them begoten his two Daughters by his first wife being excluded This Ioane called Ioane of Acon bare unto h●… thusand Gilbert a Sonne called also Gilbert but she the second time secretly marryed unto one Ridulph of Mont Hermeri without the King her Fathers knowledge and in her own right made the same Radulph Earle so long as she lived but she being dead Gilbert her Sonne by the aforesaid Gilbert succeeded againe into the Earldome Radulph his Father in Law being yet alive In the same mannner he restored to the aforesaid Humphrey of Bohun his Earldome and Constableship unto whom he also gave in Marriage Elizabeth another of his Daughters Widdow to Iohn Earle of Holland and to the third he restored the Earldome of Norfolke and the Office of Marshal with the yearly increase of a thousand marks upon condition if the heires male of his body to be begotten fayling both should return againe to the King At length this Roger dyed without issue in the xxxv yeare of him the said Edward the first viz. in the last yeare of his raigne and K. Edward his Sonne the second of that name both by a new Creation and Charter gave the Earldome and the Marshallship to Thomas of Brotherton and his heire male These things I have thus propounded thereby to shew how according to the diverse dispositions of Princes and change of times it hath by little and little varied in the first bestowing of dignities and honours Of which thing that new Law and to them of ancient time unknown made by King Edward the first seemeth afterward to be of no small moment whereby he favouring certaine private men more carefull of their own sirname then of their posterity it was thought good by him to decree to make Fees to belong to men only That Law which I would in latine call Gentilitium Municipale and which the Lawyers commonly call Mis taliatum and Talliabile or the Law of cutting off for that it cutteth off Successions before generall and restraineth them to the particular heires of Families which seemeth to have given an occasion of change in the giving and bestowing of dignities and honours For ever since that time in the Creating of any new Earle it is begun to be altered by expresse words in all Charters provided that it shal be but for terme of life onely or discend unto the heires males alone the women being quite excluded And for this I need not examples to prove for why the thing it selfe proveth the same But the force and efficacie of this Law of Entaile or of cutting off I have thought good thus in few words to declare And what I have sayd concerning Earles the same may be sayd also of Barons created by Charters but in Barons created by Rescripts or writs of summons yet resting upon most ancient custom not so For in them one onely excepted sent forth to Henry Bromflet wherein it was provided him that same Henry and his heires Male of his Body lawfully begotten onely to be Barons of Vesey women the heires Male fayling were not in ancient time forbidden orimbarred but that they might be accounted and by name stiled Honourable with the preeminence of the dignity and calling of Barons and after they had borne a Child according to the ancient favour of our Lawes and the custome of the Kingdom graced their Husbands also with the same honour and with the same by Inheritance ennobled their Children yea without the possessions of those places from whence the name of such dignities and honours may seeme first to have risen For fees and Locall possessions circumscribed by the Law are translated and carried from one family unto another and usually enrich their Lords and owners the possessors thereof but yet of themselves neither being nor take away nobilitie either dative or native by example to maifest these things were but needlesse of litle consequence for why all the most ancient Baronies the more ancient sort of the Barons at this day are in this point on my
