A pedigree, dat. 1591, printed in Misc. Gen. et Her., 2nd Ser., vol. i, pp. 7, 8, makes him s. of "Sir William" B., by a da. and coh. of Peter Chedingston, of Chedingston (or Chiddingstone), Kent.

The designation of "Lf Fitz" and his possession of the stall long after his father's death makes the fact certain.
