He >». {") There is a brass there to Elizabeth, da. of the " Lord Bardolf," wife of Thomas [«'■.] Lord Scales. See " N. <C- Q., 6th S. XII., 426, where it is (with probability) suggested that "Thomas" is a mistake for "Robert." — Blomefield {"Norfolk" x, 23), makes this Elizabeth to be a first wife of Robert, the 5th Lord Scales, who d. in 1402, while Hnrke {extinct l'eiraye) makes her the only wife of the said Robert and the lady who had for her second husband, Sir Henry Percy. There is, however, no mention at all of this Elizabeth Bardolph in Chester Waters's work, see p. 72, note " a." ( b ) There is some contradiction about his age. By a precipe of Hen. V., dat. 28 Feb. 1421, seisin of his estates was given to his br. Thomas, he being described as " Robert, s. of liobert Scales, Chevalier, who had lately died dum iujra ctatem et in cuslodia nostra fuit." This, however, is inconsistent with his having been born in 1396, which appears from other documents, as also with the age of his br. Thomas. See references as on p. 72, note " e." ( c ) There is proof in the rolls of Pari, of his sitting. C) He is said by Story to have been murdered, but Dugdale merely states that 'he departed this life." The following is the account of his death in "Three loth century Chronicles," [p. 169 as pub. by the Camden Soc] " Redditii Turre (London) . . . Dorainus Scales in uocte Sancte Margarete [1460] volens in oimba evadere ab iusidiantibus sibi, captus et interfectus est." (") Her br. Thomas (the h. ap.) had d. v.p. probably in infancy.
