His wife survived him.(', (a) Invested (with Edward the Clack Prince) in Pari. See p. 12, note " c," sub " Gloucester." ( ll ) " In the instance of the Earldom of Huntingdon the dignity is granted hercdibus suis whilst the lands attached to the dignity and to descend with it are granted Irwulilivs r.uis masculis de corporc siio." See Courthope's "Obscrv. on diynities," p. lvii. ( c ) See vol. ii, p. 303, note "a," sub "Clinton," as to a supposed daughter who, if she existed, was doubtless illegitimate. The Karl's nephew, John de Clinton, aged 28 in 1854 was his heir. ( rt ) His surname, often incorrectly derived from Angoulcme, is from Angle, a small town near Cbarentot in Poitou. 'See Beltz's " Knights of the Garter " (where pp. 182 — 186) is a good account of him. (°) " He had been a subject of Fiance but the conquest of the Black Prince probably changed his allegiance. He was not cr. in Pari, where, had he been a foreigner, he could not have taken his seat. He was, however, sum. to Pari, till his death in 1380." See Courthope's " obs. on dignities," p. lviii, who adds (under this Earldom) "the dignity was granted without issues from the county of Huntingdon, and it was probably beginning to be considered that such grant of the issues wa? not necessary. By tetters patent of even date he had 1,000 marks par annum given to him ; but these letters patent were cancelled and others granted 10 Dec, giving him per annum £1,00U out of the issues of the ports of Kingston and Boston." 0 An early instance of a life Peer receiving such summons, (B) He bad one son, Gnicbard D'Angle, designated "Seigneur de Maran " or " Maray " who m. Jeanne de Precigny but d. v.p. ami s p. His two daughters were both named Jeanne — one was, in 1351, the wife of Jean Isore, Seigneur de la Varenne, the other m. firstly Renaut Chenin, Seigneur de Mauze, and secondly Aimery de Roche Chouart, Seigneur de Mortemar. None of these parties, nor even his wife, are mentioned in the Earl's will, who leaves his lands, whether in England or France, to his nephew, William D'Angle. (h) Froissart observes that he had all the virtues which a Knight ought to have being "merry, true, amorous, sage, Beret, large, preur, hardy, adventurous, and chivalrous." (i) According to Millea' "Cat. of Honour" the name of his wife was Constance and she " after the death of Guiscard was married again to the Lord John of Cornwall who, about 140f), by her pieteniled to be patron of the vicarage of Stetentou as appeareth in the charters of the priory of Harewold in the county of Bedford."
