Their Lordships had taken into consider- ation (1) that Richard III. addressed like letters missive to the other coheir (William Berkeley) as " Earl of Nottingham and Lord Berkeley," of which titles Nottingham was one belonging to the Mowbray family ; and (2) that there had been constant use of the titles of "Mowbray and Segrave, by the Dukes of Norfolk on funeral cer- tificates, Garter plates, &c, e.ij., in 1503 at the funeral of Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, in 1011 on the Garter plate of Thomas (Howard), Earl of Arundel afterwards Duke of Norfolk, &c. (!>) All the Howard titles were forfaited in Aug. 14S5, on the death of the lit Duke of Norfolk, which would include (besides the Dukedom) the Barony of Howard and apparently (as conjectured in the text) the Baronies of Mowbray ami Segrave. ( c ) Their Lordships in 1877 decided that these Baronies were in the Howard family before the time (1558) of Queen Elizabeth (and, consequently, were forfeited in 1572) and it is not seen how that fact can be accounted for otherwise than as indicated in the text.
