J o h n C o myn had received the gift of the important manors of Walwick , T h o r n t on, and Henshaw in Tynedale by c.1295 but on his father's death he i n h e r i ted wide-ranging and vast estates in the Scottish highlands (Baden o c h a n d L ochaber), in Roxbuurghshire (Bedrule and Scraesburgh), in Dumf r i e s s hire (Dalswinton), in Perthshire (Findogask and Ochtertyre), in th e C l y d e v alley (Machan), in Dunbartonshire (Lenzie and Kirki ntilloch), a n d i n A t h oll. Lands in England included important estates in Tynedale ( T a rs e t a nd Thornton) and Lincolnshire (Ulseby). The castles of Lochindo r b , R u t hven, Inverlochy, and Blair Atholl made a formidable defence to h i s p o w e r in northern Scotland, while the castle of Dalswinton, and prob a b l e c a stle sites at Machan and Kirkintilloch, added weight to his infl u e n c e f urther south. Apart from this substantial landed base, John Comy n i n h e r ited powerful family support and a long tradition of involvement a t t h e c e n tre of Scottish politics. | Comyn, Earl of Comyn John III (I1325)

| 273 | He was married to a daughter of Robert Fitz Alan of Swynnerton. The dee d n a m i n g him as the heir of his father Robert is in the British Museum ( C o l l e ctanea Genealogica ex Cartiis Antiques, collected by R. Holmes,Har l e i a n M ss. No. 1985) The purpose of this bequest was to give him standi n g a s t h e h usband of the heiress to Swynnerton and a member of the Fitz A l a n f a m ily. The manor of Lumley passed to the husbands of later descend a n t s . T he family was still among those considered "Scots" as they had c o m e s o u th from Northumbria. These families were not dispossessed by the a d v e n t o f their cousin William the Conqueror. On his deathbed the Conque r o r c o n fessed that he never trusted any of the family of those whom he h a d i n j u red. So perhaps it was a lucky incident in our family history th a t o u r a n cestor was located way out of the Conqueror's sight in the mid s t o f t h e g reat woods of Staffordshire and near the Welsh border. Out o f s i g h t a nd out of mind, perhaps he could survive until the great destr oy e r h a d p assed away. The records of this and succeeding generations we r e k e p t i n large locked boxes called chartularies. Other than court rec o r d s o f t heir wills and courtcases, few records exist. It was considere d w i s e t o a void the attention of the monarch. | De Peshale, William (I1237)

The district extende d e a s t a n d west from Braemar, or the Braes of Mar, to Aberdeen, and nor th a n d s o u th from the Braes of Angus to the Don.(1-566) Like other such d i s t r i cts of Scotland it was at an early historical period under the rul e o f a M o r m aor or High Steward. 'Donald, son of Emhin, son of Cainnech, ' M orm a o r o r Great Steward of Mar, said to be of the race of Old Ivar a nd o f t h e C l an Leod of Arran, was one of those Scottish chiefs who went t o I r e l a nd to assist King Brian Boruimha against the Danes, and fell at t h e b a t t le of Clontarf in 1014.(2-566) Norse or Danish descent is thus a s c r i b ed to him, but we have no certain knowledge that the succeeding Mo r m a o r s of Mar were directly, or even lineally, descended from him. Ther e i s a l o n g s pace of silence between him(1-567) and I. Ruadri or Rotheri, who appears on record as the first Earl of Mar, a n d w h o i s a lso styled Mormaor, thus forming a link between the old Celt i c s y s t em and the new feudal ideas of territorial dignities.

His strife with Henry I I o f E n g l and in concert with the sons of that monarcrch, Henry, Richard , a n d J o h n, resulted in 1189 in the Treaty of Azay-sur-Ch er, which enh an c e d t h e royal power in the centre of France. The struggle with the Pl a n t a g enets was the ruling idea of Philip II's whole policy. Richard Cï ¿ ½ u r d e L i o n h aving become King of England, 6 July, 1189 , was at first on a m i c a b le terms with Philip. Together they undertook the Third Crusade, b u t q u a r reled in Palestine, and on his return Philip II accused Richard o f h a v i n g attempted to poison him. | Augustus, Philip II (I7190)

| 277 | He was the first of our family to win the manor of Peshale. He married i n t o o n e o f the families who formed thecolony of emigrants from Northumb e r l a n d and who settled near Stone Priory in Staffordshire."At this time S t a f f o rdshire was almost an unbroken forest with only here and there cle a r i n g s which had been made by the English prior to the Conquest. Among t h e s e c l ear and cultivated spots in the forest was that of Peshale which h a d b e e n f orfeited from its English owner and which was now included in t h e h o l d ings of Robert de Toesni, de Stafford.

| 285 | Henry I (4 May 1008 - 4 August 1060) was King of France from 1031 to h i s d e a t h. The royal of France reached its lowest point in terms of size d u r i n g h is reign and for this reason he is often seen as emblematic of t h e w e a k ness of the early Capetians. This is not entirely agreed upon, h o w e v e r, as other historians regard him as a strong but realistic king, w h o w a s f o rced to conduct a policy mindful of the limitations of the Fre n c h m o n archy.

| 286 | Henry I, King of the English, was the youngest son of William, Duke of N o r m a n dy and King of the English - "the Conqueror" - and his wife Matild a . H e w a s b orn some time in 1068 , the only son born in England after h i s f a t h er's 1066 conquest of the kingdom, although the exact date and p l a c e a r e not known. Local tradition has claimed Selby in Yorkshire as h i s b i r t hplace, but no evidence supports this claim. Rather than being g i v e n a t r aditional Norman name, he was named after his maternal grandfa t h e r . As the youngest son, Henry was not originally expected to inherit his f a t h e r 's domains, and it is possible that at one time he might have been i n t e n d ed for the church, for which his education would have fitted him. C o n t e m porary accounts, record him as being educated in Latin and the lib e r a l a r ts. Later historians called him "Beauclerc" - well-educated - bu t t h e r e i s no evidence that he was known by this name during his lifeti me . I n s t ead, on 24 May 1086, at age eighteen, he was knighted at Winche s te r i n E n gland by his father, suggesting that any thoughts of a church c a r e e r h ad been superseded. | Beauclerk, King of England Henry I.

A s t h e f i rst non-Frankish king of East Francia, he established the Ot to ni a n d y nasty of kings and emperors, and he is generally considered to b e t h e f o u nder of the medieval German state, known until then as East Fr an c i a .

On his father's death, Henry chose to take Champagne, leaving the famil y ' s o l d er holdings (including Blois, Chartres, Sancerre, and Chateaudun ) t o h i s y o unger brothers. At the time this may have been surprising, f or t h e o t h er territories were richer and better developed. Henry must h ave f o r e s een the economic possibilities of Champagne, and it is during h is r u l e t h at the county achieved its high place as one of the richest a nd s t r o n gest of the French principalities. Henry established orderly rule over the nobles of Champagne, and could f a i r l y r eliably count on the aid of some 2,000 vassals, which just by it s e l f m a de him a power few in France could equal. This order in turn mad e C h a m p agne a safe place for merchants to gather, and under the count's p r o t e c tion the Champagne Fairs became a central part of long-di stance t r a d e a n d finance in medieval Europe. | Champagne, Count Of Champagne Henri (I7508)
