He claimed the Barony of Latimer as against Richard (Nevill), the 2d Lord Latimer, of the creation of 1432,( d ) but compounded the matter with the said Lord, from whom he received a regrant of several of the Latimer estates, including that of Iselhampsted = = 5 " glj-s .= 5 S Latimer*, Rucks.

See Tabular pedigree on p., 24 note "b." I?) Dugdale (vol i, p. 312, nib " Nevill "), who states this John to be the Baron s "next heir, then 30 years of age," but in Collins' "Precedents" (p. 15) it is stated that "the Lord John Latymer's two sisteis were both living at his death, it being added that, this " being true, the Lord Brooke had no colour of title " to the Barony of Latimer. This statement is apparently on the principle that all Baronies when once in abeyance merge in the Crown, and consequently that no subsequent extinction of coheirs can give the right of inheritance thereto to the (then) sole heir without a regrant from the Crown. It is certain that of the two sisters, Margaret, d. unm. and that the Lord Brooke, at the time of his claim, was great grandson and representative of Elizabeth, the other sister. ( d ) He appears, however, not so much to have claimed the old Barony of Latimer [129'J] as heir gcneial of the first Lord as to have disputed the right of Richard (Nevill), Lord Latimer, to the title of Latimer. He, however, " perceiving his error, was contented to renounce his claim to that style, having one [i.e., a peerage dignity] of his own" after having been "informed by a Herald that Sir George Nevill, grand- father to Richard, was cr. [1 432] Lord Latymer by a new title, and therefore [that title] lineally descended by [should be "to"] Richard, sou of Henry, sou of the said George, and that the Lord Brooke had made a wrong claim which should have claimed his style from William Latymer first created Earl [should be " Baron, Latimer"], of Dauby, the head mauor of tho Barony which [manor] was also descended to Kichard, Loid Latymer."
