CHESTER (County of.) ["The county of Chester is the best known example of & Palatine Earldom in England. The Palatine Earldum of Lancaster was not cr. till 1351, Dugdale to have been Baron Powes jure matrix, for this is the first mention in the Rolls of a Lord Powis after 1420, his father having been summoned as "John Tiptofte," and he himself was created Earl of Worcester six years before, and moreover on that occasion bis name appears by his proper title of " Comes Wygorn ; " it must therefore, the editor presumes, apply to Diehard Grey, father of John Grey, who was sum. to Pari, as "Johanni Grey de Powis," 22 Ed. IV, but no account of the said Richard having been sum. to Pari, is recorded." [The concluding paragraph, as altered by " Courthope," is as follows]. "These remarks have been made on the supposition that no act ever took place in favour of Edward Tiptoft, s. and h. of John, Earl of Worcester, the other coheir of the Barony, said to have been attainted in 1470, but the Rolls of Pari, give no account either of such attainder or of any subsequent proceedings on the subject of it [vide Note under Worcester). If there were no attainder, the moiety of the Barony of Cherleton, to which the Baid Edward Tiptoft was heir, devolved on Iris death, infra, (vtatem, s.p., on his aunts, viz. Philippa, who m. Thomas Lord Roos ; Johanna, the wife of Sir Robert Ingoldesthorp ; and Joyce, who m. Edmund Sutton, s. and h. apparent of Lord Dudley, or more properly Lord Sutton of Dudley ; whilst the other moiety was at the same time vested in John Grey de Powys, great-grandson of Joan, eldest dau. and coheir of Edward, 4th [rectius »th] Baron Cherleton."
