196 THE VERNONS OF HADDON HALL. 



It must not be forgotten that the Inq. p. m. of Gilbert 

 Franceis concerning Haddon shows that Rich., son of Gilbert le 

 Franceis, also called himself le Franceis after the death of his 

 father, so that the fact that he was called to warrant the Franceis 

 estates in Cumberland and Yorkshire proves his descent from 

 that family beyond all doubt, and it is to be hoped that the facts 

 here adduced prove equally conclusively the true origin of Rich. 

 Vernon, the first of his name of Haddon.
