This Thomas Nevill made proof of his wife's age and had livery of her lands(»-) (1383-84), 7 Me. II, and was sum. to Pari, as a Baron [LORD FURNIVALL or LOUD NEVILL DE HALLAMSHIRE^)] from 20 Aug.

(as bis first wife) to John Talbot, 2d s. of Richard (Talbot), Loud Talbot, by Aukaret (step-mother of the said Maud), da. of John (Le Strange), Lord Strange de Blackmkre, all three next abovenamed. He was jure uncord sum. to Pari, as a Baron [LORD FURNIVALL or LOUD TALBOT DE HALLAMSHIRE] from 26 Oct (1409), 11 Hen. IV, to 26 Feb. (1420/1), 8 Hen. V.,!') the lirst writ as also the greater number of them being directed " Johunni (») These included not only those of her father (viz., Sheffield, in Yorkshire, Worksop, in Notts, Eyum, in Derbyshire, Stoke Verdou, in Wilts, &c), but those of her mother (viz., Dagworth, co. Suffolk, Dagworth-iu-ElmdoU, Essex, &c.), yet, according to Blomlield's "Norfolk" 1 (followed in this work sub "Dagworth") her mother's brother, Nicholas, Lord Dagworth, did not die till 1401. ( b ) " Notwithstanding that all genealogical writers consider this Thomas Nevill us Baron Furnival, he was uniformly sum. to Pari, as ' T/tomce Nevill de llalomshire ; and if it were not for the fact that he is always styled ' Le Sire de Furnyvall ' in the Rolls of Pari, it might admit of some doubt whether he should be deemed Baron Furnival ; his son-in-law, John Talbot, was sum. in the first and (with the exception of that of 1 Hen. V., when lie is described as ' de llalomshire ') in every writ for twelve yeans as ' Lord Furnyvall.' " [A'fwfa*.] ( c ) There is proof in the Rolls of Pari, of his sitting. ( d ) If it be supposed that a new Barony {Nevill de llallamshire) was created by the writ of 1383 such Barony would on his death fall into abeyance between his two daughters and coheirs, viz. (1) Maud, by his first wife, who inherited her mother's Barony of Furnivall, as stated iu the text and (2) Joan, by the second wife (twelve years younger than her sister) three years old at her father's death (1406-07), 8 Hen. IV. This Joan m. Sir Hugh Cokesey, or (writes Courthope) '* according to others Hamou de Belknap." (0 The [erroneous] statement in Dugdale that she was but a co-heir to her mother appears to have reduced the author of the .Returns of Baronies called out of abeyance (printed for the House of Lords, 30 July 1S5SJ, to a state of hopeless indecision. " The naked truth " that she wassofe heir tohermother had been however(above200years before) clearly shewn in " Vincent " [p. 463, tub " Shrewsbury "J where the Inq, post mortem on her father shewing the different mothers of his two daughters is set out.
