REFN: 16432 The history of the Ogles in England, during the 600 years following the landing of William the Conqueror in 1066, is rich and colorful. The Ogles' history kept close pace with events in Northumberland--the wild border region between England and Scotland--where the Ogles originated, expanded and flourished.

Scores of English Border families in Northumberland held their lands in fief of the king for wars and raids on the Scottish Border. Many Ogles were knighted for service to Crown and Country. At least seven lords and thirty knights descended from Humphrey Ogle, Esq.

From the book "Northumbrian Geritage, by Miss Nancy Ridley first printed in 1968, "it is in this part of Northumberland that Newcastle University has its Agricultural Research Station, Cockle Park, where is a Pele Tower incorporated into an old farm house. Cockle Park was once the property of the ancient family of Ogle, who are reputed to have been the proudest in the County. They had their chief seat at the little hamlet which still bears their name, and is situated about eleven miles north-west of Newcastle. The castle of this once famous family is part of a manor house, dating from the sevententh century. The Ogle fmily had another tower in this part of the country. On the west side of the road to the border, is the little hamlet of Causey Park. Here on the tower can be seen the arms of the proud race. The tower now forms part of a house,and in the garden is a sundial, bearing an inscription, comparing the time at noon, at "Cassapark" with other parts of Europe. The date is 1705.

Dictionary of National Biography By LESLIE. STEPHEN ROBERT, first BABÓN OGLE i (d. 1469), was son of Sir Robert Ogle of Ogle, near Morpeth in Northumberland, and great-great-grandson of the Sir Robert de i Ogle [q. v.] who fought at Neville's Cross. ! His mother, according to Dugdale, was Maud, daughter of Sir Robert Grey of Horton, near Ogle; but others make her a daughter ol Sir Thomas Grey of Heton, near Wooler, and a granddaughter of the first Earl of Westmorland (GBEGSON, Portfolio of Fragments relating to the County uf Lancaster, p. 183). . Ogle's father, who had been much employed in negotiations with Scotland, died in I486 or 1437, and the Sir Robert Ogle who was commissioned, along with Sir Jonn Bertram, in April of the later year to settle some disputed questions with the Scottish Ogle Oglethorpe representatives, may have been the son (Jk'œdera, x. 695). One matter still in dispute in 1438 was the question of the compensation due to Ogle on account of his having been seized and held to ransom by the Scots in time of truce between 1426 and 1435 (Rot. Pari. v. 44 ; Ordinances of the ' Privy Council, v. 93, 102,167). It was agreed that Ogle should be indemnified with a Scottish ship which had been seized at New- ! ou.-tli' ; but. this was found to have been sold by the admiral or his lieutenant, and Ogle was involved in a dispute with the latter, which was not ended until 1442. In 1438 Ogle was sheriff of Northumberland, and in charge of the east march of Scotland until a warden was appointed (íé.v. 100; DUGDALK, ii. 202). Little is then heard of him until 1452, when he was bailiff and lieutenant of Tyndale (Ord. Priry Council, v. 120). Three years later Ogle sided with the Yorkists when they took up arms, and brought six hundred men from the marches to the first battle of St. Albans. He pro- | bably came in the train of the Earl of Warwick, who was warden of the west march ; and one account of the battle gives to Ogle the credit of the movement by which the Yorkists broke into the town, but this feat is ascribed in other versions to Warwick (Pa*- j ton Letters, i. 332). Ogle was one of the commissioners appointed by the victorious party to raise money for the defence of Calais (Ord. Priiy Council, v. 244). Shortly after Towton he and Sir John Conyers were reported to be besieging Henry VI in a place IB Yorkshire ' called Corouinbr ; such a name it hath, or much like ' (Pautan Letters, ii. 7). His .-ervict'S to the Yorkist cause did not go unrewarded. Edward IV on 20 July 1461 | summoned him to his first parliament as Baron Ogle, and invested him (8 Aug.) with the wardenship of the east marches, lato I y ln-ld by his great Lancastrian neighbour, the Earl of Northumberland, who was killed at Tow- ton. With the wardenship went the offices of steward and constable of the forfeited Percy castles and many of the earl's lordships ( DlTGDALE). In November he was entrusted with the negotiations for a truce with Scotland, and in the January following received a further grant of the lordship of Redesdale and castle of Harbottle in mid-Northumberland, forfeited by Sir William Tailboys of Kyme in Lincolnshire, afterwards called Earl of Kvme, who was executed after the battle of Hexham in 1464 (DcoDALB, i. 263; WARKWORTH, p. 7; Rot. Pari. v. 477). To these were added other forfeit ed lands in Northumberland. In October 1462 Ogle distinguished himself in the dash upon Holy Island, which resulted in the capture of all the French leaders who had come over with Margaret of Anjou, except De Brezé (Historians of Hexham, Surtees Soc. I. cix.) During the operations against the Northumbrian strongholds in the winter Ogle assisted John Neville, lord Montagu [q. v.], in the siege of Bamborough, which surrendered on Christmas-eve (Three Fifteenth-Century Chronicles, pp. 157-59 ; WTOR- CESTER, ii. 780; Pastan Lettera, ii. 121). It was betrayed to the Lancastrians again in the following year, but finally reduced in June 1464, and entrusted to Ogle as constable for life. Just a year later he was commissioned with Montagu, now earl of Northumberland, and others, to negotiate for peace with Scotland, and for a marriage between James III and an English subject (Fœdera, xi. 546). Ogle died on 1 Nov. 1409. He married Isabel, daughter and heiress of Sir Alexander Kirkby of Kirkby Ireleth in Furness, by whom he had a son Owen, who is separately noticed, and a daughter Isabella, married first to Sir John Heron of Chipchase, and afterwards to Sir John Wedrington (DuGDALE, Baronage ; Archeologia Aïliana, xiv. 287 ; Hexham Priory, Surtees Soc. p. Ixix). [Rotuli Parliamentorum ; Calendarium In- quisitionnm post mortem ; Kymer's Fœdera, original ed. ; Proceedings and Ordinances of the Privy Council, ed.

T.j of St. James's parish, London, by has wife, Eleanor \Vall of Tipperary. He matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, on 8 July 1714, but had already obtained a commission in the British army in 1710. After the peace of 1712 he appears to have served as a volunteer under Prince Eugene in Eastern Europe. In 1718, by the death of his brothers, he succeeded to Westbrook, and in 1722 he became member for Haslemere, and acted with the Jacobite tories who supported Atter- bury.

CHAPTER CXXV.—THE SCOTS FORM THEIR ARMY INTO TWO DIVISIONS; ONE, UNDER THE COMMAND OP SIR ARCHIBALD DOUGLAS, MARCHES TO CARLISLE, AND THE OTHER TO NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, COMMANDED BY THE EARL OF DOUGLAS, AT THE BARRIERS OF WHICH PLACE, HE CONQUERS THE PENNON OP SIR HENBY PERCY. well ; but 1 know not for certain where they now are." Sir Henry and sir Ralph Percy obeyed their father's orders, and made for Newcastle accompanied by the gentlemen and others fit to bear arms. In the mean time, the Scots continued destroying and burning all before them, so that the smoke was visible at Newcastle. They came to the gates of Durham, where they skirmished, but made no long stay, and set out on their return, as they had planned at the beginning of the expedition, driving and carrying away all the booty they thought worth their pains. The country is very rich between Durham and Newcastle, which is but twelve English miles distant : there was not a town in all this district, unless well inclosed, that was not burnt. The Scots re-crossed the Tyne at the same place, and came before Newcastle, where they halted. All the knights and squires of the country were collected at Newcastle, and thither came the seneschal of York, sir Ralph Langley, sir Matthew Redman, governor of Berwick, sir Robert Ogle, sir Thomas Grey,sirThomas Halton, sir John Felton, sir John Lilburne, sir William Walsingham, sir Thomas Abington, the baron of Halton, sir John Copelandt and so many others, the town was filled with more than it could lodge. ,

The three Scots lords, having completed the object of their expedition into Durham, lay before Newcastle three days, where there was an almost continual skirmish. The sons of the earl of Northumberland, from their great courage, were always the first at the barriers, when many valiant deeds wore done with lances hand to hand. The earl of Douglas had a long conflict with sir Henry Percy, and in it, by gallantry of arms, won his pennon, to the great vexation of sir Henry and the other English. The earl of Douglas said,—" I will carry this token of your prowess with me to Scotland, and place it on the tower of my castle at Dalkeith, that it may be seen from far."—" By God, earl of Douglas," replied sir Henry, " you shall not even bear it out of Northumberland : be assured you shall never have this pennon to brag of." " You must come then," answered earl Douglas, " this night and seek for it. I will fix your pennon before my tent, and shall see if you will venture to take it away." As it was now late, the skirmish ended, and each party retired to their quarters, to disarm and comfort themselves. They had plenty of every thing, particularly flesh meat. The Scots kept up a very strict watch, concluding, from the words of sir Henry Percy, they should have their quarters beaten up this night : they were disappointed, for sir Henry was advised to defer it.

Not the men with Robert Ogle above were his sons in law. Lilburn, Halton and Grey was his brother in law or father in law, both named Thomas.
