CODXOR CASTLE, AND ITS ANCIENT OWNERS. 25 



His grandson, Richard, Lord Grey of Codnor, seems to have been 

 a more distinguished officer even than his grandfather. He was at 

 the head of a large contingent of retainers, tenants, and Derbyshire 

 men at the battle of Agincourt in 141 5. Mr. Pym Yeatnian, to 

 whose collections for Derbyshire I am so much indebted, and which 

 I here desire most heartily to acknowledge, gives us, in his 

 " Feudal History of Derbyshire,'' the names of all those Derbyshire 

 men who set out with this Lord Grey to maintain the prowess of 

 old England in France ; and there can be no doubt but that many 

 of them passed beneath the portals of this old castle on that 

 eventful occasion, to return no more to the hills and vales of iheir 

 native county. As a man's good name is his best monument, in 

 justice to these brave and stalwart heroes, I will read out the 

 muster roll once more on this historic ground. These brave 

 fellows, the pride and hope of many a parent, are as much entitled 

 to honourable mention as those under whose command they set 

 forth to lay down their lives, their home ties, and their all, for the 

 honour and benefit of their country. " A mere list of names " 

 (writes Mr. Yeatman) " may be but dull, reading to one who has no 

 interest in the people, but to men of the county it cannot but be 

 that this record is full of interest. Who belonging to Derbyshire 

 can pass over with indifference these lists of the heroes of Cressy, 

 Poictiers, or Agincourt, when he finds among them whole regi- 

 ments belonging to his kindred. If anyone can read unmoved, 

 or pass over them with indifference, he must indeed be more or 

 less than man."
