Besides the mesne Lords of Manors in the Hundred of Bradford, there were others who, though not exercising any jurisdiction within the Hundred demanded fealty, and perhaps rather more substantial acknowledgements, from some of the tenants within the domain of our Abbess, The Manor of Cumberwell, for example, was held under the Barony of Castle Coqlbe, and Humphrey de Lisle (Hunfredus de Insula) the Lord of that Manor claimed from the tenant at Cumberwell-(in early times one named Pagen)-suit and service for the same The Prior of Monkton Farleigh, moreover, who held the Lordship of that Manor, claimed payment for lands in this parish :1 -there is in existence a deed (of the time of Edward I.) by which Walter Fayrchild of Wroxale grants to Alice la Loche, amongst other lands and tenements, some called II Clifcroft and Bradcroft, and a croft above Hanecleye paying 1Bd. per annum to the Lord Prior and Court of Farlege, viz., at Hockeday 12d. and at Michaelmas 1d."1 To this day certain property in the town of Bradford is held under the Manor of Monkton Farleigh. A field called I the Conigre,'(one of several pieces of ground bearing that name in the parish) just behind the house occupied by Mr. Adye, in Woolley street, and some houses in St. Margaret street, nearly opposite the present Railway Station, are still held under leases granted by the lessee of "the Manor of Monkton Farleigh and Cumberwell," as it is termed. ....................................

But besides these mesne Lords of Manors in the Hundred of Bradford, there were others who, though not exercising any jurisdiction within the Hundred demanded fealty, and perhaps rather more substantial acknowledgements, from some of the tenants within the domain of our Abbess. The Manor of Cumberwell, for example, was held under the Barony of Castle Combe, and Humphrey de Lisle (Hunfredus de Insula) the Lord of that Manor claimed from the tenant at Cumber-well-(in early times one named Pageri)-suit and service for the same.f The Prior of Monkton Farleigh, moreover, who held the Lordship of that Manor, claimed payment for lands in this parish r1 -there is in existence a deed (of the time of Edward I.) by which Walter Fayrchild of Wroxale grants to f [The Gumbrewell of Domesday, as has been already stated, was mare probably Compton Cumberwell, near Calne, Brictric (Brictric Algarsonl) held ffarleigh in the Conqueror's time, and the addition of Cumberwell to that manor probably took place at a later date.} 1 As early as 1397, we find Sir Thomas Hungerford giving to Monkton Farleigh Priory 'a house and two ploughlands at Bradeford.'

In Charles and Camden rolls the same arms are blasoned. The similarity of this great fendal shield to the one borne by the northern family points to some connection between the families, of what nature is not known. The arms, as in the text, are given in Glover's Ordinary (Papworth, 75). In 1450 ' Thom de Insula ' seals with ermine a lion. A seal of Humphrey Lisle, of 1505, is paly of three impaling ermine a lion (Hodgson, ,. 2, 170). The second and third quarters are for Athol, the leopard being added for difference. This beast (lion passant guardant) was used as a badge by the earls of Athol. It appears both above and below the shield on the seal of John de Strabolgy in 1292 (Arch. Ael. 2 ser. I. 24). The seal of David de Strabolgy in 1360 is paly with a leopard standing on the top of the shield (History of Northumbecland, vu. 237). A similar shield to the one in the text is in one of the windows in Ponte- land church. On the brass of Sir Aymer de Athol, formerly in St. Andrew's church, Newcastle, the leopard crouches as a rest for the knight's feet. The arms of the earldom of Athol were paly gold and sable and are blasoned in Walford's roll ('•. 1280), in the Camden and Charles rolls and in Grimaldi's roll of Edward III. In the Segar roll ( c. 1200) the colours are gold and azure.

HISTORY OF NORTHUMBERLAND. In 1498 the horrors of the two preceding years were very nearly renewed, in consequence of an affray which originated in the indiscreet curiosity with which a party of Scottish youths examined the defences of Nor ham Castle. The jealousy of the garrison was excited; the intruders were driven away, some wounds inflicted, and two or three lives lost. Matters were adjusted by the good temper of the English King and the adroit management of the Bishop of Durham, who not only succeeded in softening James' resentment, but in disposing his mind to a closer alliance with England. The next expedition into Northumberland of which we read, was of a very different character from the last, being the nuptial procession of the Princess Margaret, the eldest daughter of tho King of England, in order to her marriage with the King of Scotland. A minute account of her progress was drawn up by John Young, Somerset Herald, who attended her, and has been printed in various publications. That portion of it which records her reception and entertainment in Newcastle has been extracted by Brand. She left that town, after a sojourn of three days, on the 26th of July, 1502, being escorted forth by the Mayor. Half a mile from the town she was received by Sir Humphrey Lisle of Felton and the Prior of Brinkburn, with 20 horsemen ; and a little further on, at the limits of his jurisdiction, by Sir Pialph Evers, the Sheriff of the county, " with many honest folks of the county, with spears and bows, in jackets, to the number of 200 horse." At night she halted at Morpeth, remaining over the two following nights at Alnwick Castle as the guest of the Earl of Northumberland, who had gone before to receive her, having previously escorted her from York to Newcastle. Between Morpeth and Alnwick the cortege was joined by " master Henry Grey, Esquire," with about one hundred horse. Leaving Alnwick on the 29th, she baited at Belford, where Sir Thomas Darcy, Captain of Berwick, " had made ready her dinner very well and honestly." Here she was joined by master Ealph Widdrington with 100 horse. At the entrance of Islandshire, Henry Grey assumed the conduct of the party, as the Sheriff of that liberty and Norhamshire. The same night she reached Berwick, where she was entertained by Sir Thomas and Lady Darcy till the 1st of August, on which day she entered the dominions of her future husband. TUDOR PERIOD.
