6oo APPENDIX C Sir Thomas Roscelyn, son and (after 1 302) heir of Sir Peter Roscelyn, summoned to a Council 1294. Sir Nicholas Stapleton, son and (in 13 14) heir of Sir Miles Stapleton, summoned 13 13. Sir Richard Talbot, brother of Sir Gilbert Talbot abovenamed. Sir William Trussell, summoned to a Council 1342, escaped ^^ outre mer. Sir Henry Wilington, brother of Sir John Wilington abovenamed, hanged 1322. None of these fourteen knights were ever summoned to Parliament. It will be observed that of the forty-seven persons above enumerated who engaged in open rebellion, only ten suffered the death penalty, and having regard to the times and the very serious nature of the rebellion it is clear that no unusual or unnecessary severity was exercised. Indeed, looking on to the events which some four years later cost Edward II his crown and life, he seems to have been sadly mistaken in forgoing the death sentence on his wife's paramour. Sir Roger Mortimer of Wigmore, when he had him in his hands, and such clemency, if clemency it was, cost him all too dear. Those who escaped with their lives escaped in the end altogether, for early in the reign of Edward III the quarrel of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, was declared to have been a just quarrel, the lands of those engaged in it were restored, and all proceedings against them annulled. Among those who fought on the side of the King were: — Donald, Earl of Mar [S.], and the following Knights, Sir Henry Beaumont, summoned 1309-32. Sir John Clinton, summoned 1332-35. Sir Will. Clinton, summoned 1330-3 7 (afterwards Earl of Huntingdon). Sir John Cromwell, summoned 1308-35. Sir Ralph de Greystock, summoned 1321-22. Sir John Hastings, summoned 1313-25. Sir John Hausted, summoned 1332-36. Sir William Kyme, summoned 1323-37. Sir William Latimer, summoned 1 299-1 327. Sir Robert Morley, summoned 1317-57. Sir John Peche, summoned 1321-36. Sir Henry Percy, summoned 1322-52. Sir John St. John of Lageham, summoned 1317-22. Sir John Sutton of Holderness, summoned 1332-38, ' !» And Sir William Zouche of Mortimer, summoned 1323-37. Besides the above fifteen knights who were summoned to Parliament, the following six Knights, and of course many others, were on the side of the victors: — Sir Andrew Harcla, afterwards Earl of Carlisle. Sir John Hardereshull, summoned to a Council 1342.
