NOTES AND QUERIES.

to settle in : For as Hereward and Hugh Evermur before, 

 So this Richard de Rules now left 'only one Daughter and 

 Heir, Adelhildis, who married Baldwin Fitz-Gilbert, a 

 very eminent Person, and a noble Family, being Bro- 

 ther to Walter*, the Father of Gilbert de Gant, the first 

 Earl of Lincoln of that Race. By this Baldwin she had 

 a Son, whom in an Ancient Charter, relating to the fAbby 

 of Brunne, founded by this Baldwj'n, I find by the Name 

 of Roger. . . . But . . . either this {Roger dyed un- 

 married, Or he left no Children to succeed him, And so 

 the Dignity and Estate fell to Emma his Sister ; And by 

 her came [to] Hugh de Wac, her Husband," 



Dr. Wake proceeds to notice another account, 

 which differs from the foregoing in the addition 

 of another descent.§ This gives the name of 

 Baldwin's only daughter as Roesia, and states 

 that she married William de Ruseis, and by him 

 was the mother of Emma, the wife of Hugh le 

 Wac. But this he rejects, as inconsistent with 

 a charter of King Edward III.||, in which this 

 Emma is expressly called the daughter of Bald- 

 win ; and with another charter, belonging to the 

 Abbey of Thorney% in which Baldwin Fitz-Gil- 

 bert is mentioned as the grandfather of Baldwin 

 Lord Wake, the first of that name, " and which, if 

 he were, he must also have been Father to Emma, 

 his Mother " (p. 19.). Ache. 



p. FELDENCALDUS. 



(2°<' S. vi. 396.) 



I have little doubt that Feldencaldus, Felgen- 

 balder, Felghenore, and Feldenhauer, signify the 

 same person. La NouveUe Biographie generale, 



Felgbnhauer, Paul, illumine boh^mien, vivait dans 

 la seconde moiti^ du dix-septifeme si^le. II etudia h, 

 Wittemberg, fut diacre au chateau de cette ville, et re- 

 venu en Boh^me, aprfes avoir refus^ un emploi de predi- 

 cateur, il commen^a la publication de ses ouvrages, oti se 

 remarque un veritable derangement d'esprit. II Etudia 

 ensuite la medicine. A^ Amsterdam, oil il se trouvait en 

 1623, il continua de faire imprimer les productions les 

 plus etranges et de I'eflfet le plus dangereux. Emprisonn^ 

 en 1657 k Suhlingen, il persista k soutenir qu'il avait re(;u 

 une mission divine. Rendu h la liberty en 1659 il alia se 

 fixer k Hambourg, et publia de nouveaux Merits jusqu'en 

 1660. Depuis cette epoque on ne salt plus rien de lui." — 

 Vol. xvii. 271. 



" Mr. Blunden, having sent a letter from London to 

 Paulus Felgenbalder, at Amsterdam, to desire his opinion 

 concerning magical performances, he returned him an 

 answer in Latin, an. 1655, which answer a gentleman 

 having favoured me with a sight and J)erusal of, I here 

 give you the substance of it," &c. (P. 321.) — A Treatise 

 on Spirits, &c. by John Beaumont, Gent., Lond. 1705. 



The British Museum contains only three works 

 by Felgenhauer : — 

 " Bonum Nuncium Israeli, quod offertur populo Israel 



* " Baronag., to. i. p. 539." 



t « Monasticon, to. ii. 237. b. 40. ; ibid. p. 235. b. 25." 

 i " Baronag., ibid, p, 236. a. 539. b." 

 § See MSS. Rog. Dodsworth, vol. ii. fol. 11. 

 \\ Monasticon, t. ii. p. 236. a. 12; 

 ^ Monasticoji, ib. p. 469. b. 



et Judae, in hisce temporibus novissimis de Messiah. Am- 

 sterdam, 1658. 8vo." 



" Postilion, or a New Almanack, and Astrologicke Pro- 

 phetical Prognostication, calculated for the Whole World, 

 &c. Written in High Dutch by Paulus Felghenore. 4to, 

 London, 1655." 



At the end of this book is a list of the author's 

 works, amounting to fifty-nine published, and 

 three intended. The first is dated 1617 : — 



" Anthora, das ist Gift Beil, oder Beschreibug des Giffts 

 der Pestilenz auch vielen andern gifftigen und gefahr- 

 lichen Krankheiten, aus schuldiger Ltebe zum nachsten 

 geschrieben durch P. F. der gottlichen und naturlichen 

 Weisheit Liebhaber. Gedruckt in Jahr, 1696." 



On the last page is, — 



" Gegeben auf dem alten Wege bey Bremen. P. Fel- 

 genhauer." 



There is no sign of this being a reprint, and if 

 really by Felgenhauer, his career of authorship 

 must have been long, — 79 years between his first 

 and last known work. Fitzhopkins.

DR. SAMUEL BRADY. 



(2'^ S. iv. 475. ; v. 176, 177.) 



This gentleman became a physician in 1702, and 

 I presume was brother to the Rev. Dr. Nicholas 

 Brady. The Rev. Dr. Nicholas Brady was bom 

 at Bandon in the county of Cork (see Smith's 

 History of Cork, vol. ii. p. 426.) and I think it 

 possible, on a search being made in the registry 

 of the parish of Ballymodan or the parish of 

 Kilbrogan, Bandon, an entry of the baptism 

 of this Samuel Brady might be found. Smith 

 farther states that the Rev. Dr. Nicholas Brady 

 was the son of Major Nicholas Brady and lineally 

 descended from Hugh Brady, the first Protestant 

 Bishop of Meath. It is stated by Ware, and re- 

 peated by that very careful and accurate writer, 

 Archdeacon Cotton, in his Fasti, that this bishop 

 died on February 13, 1585, and that he was buried 

 in the parish church of his native place, Dun- 

 boyne. I conclude the date of his death is erro- 

 neous, and should be February 13, 158f. His 

 successor was promoted to the see of Meath by 

 patent dated April 18, 1584. Is there any evi- 

 dence that this Bishop Brady was born at Dun- 

 boyne ? The Rev. Dr. Nicholas Brady was born 

 in 1659, or about seventy-five years after the 

 death of the bishop. The doctor's father was 

 Major Nicholas Brady, and the doctor's mother 

 was Martha, daughter of Luke Gernon. The 

 paternal grandfather of the doctor, it is believed, 

 was Nicholas Brady, son of the bishop. Now if 

 this be the case, the only question which would 

 remain is, to whom was this latter Nicholas Brady 

 married, or who was the paternal grandmother of 

 Dr. Nicholas Brady ?
