By Charles Edward Long, Esq. 227 



5. She is called, erroneously, in Clutterbuck's Herts, Elizabeth daughter of 

 Sir Edmund Hart. This is the only printed pedigree of Darell that 1 know 

 of. There are several inaccuracies, but it is, on the whole, tolerably correct, 

 and extracts from the Inq. p. m. are given in the text. In Phillpot's Kent, 

 f. 162, Coll. Arm. she is called Jane, daughter of "William Hawte of Shel- 

 vingboume, Co. Kent, by the sister of Richard Widville who was afterwards 

 Earl Rivers. £ij Richard Hawte beheaded at Pom fret by Richard the Third, 

 would appear to have been a brother. Anthony Wid%"ille, Earl Rivers, ap- 

 pointed Sir William HaAvte his attorney in 1471. 



6. His wife's monumental brass is still extant at Collingbourne Kingston, pre- 

 viously C'olLingbourne Abbas. His own effigy has been abstracted, and it 

 would appear that he had placed the monument there on the decease of his 

 xsife, as the date of his own death is not inserted. Some pedigrees call her, 

 erroneously, Julia. She is stated by Phillpot, 3. 77. f. 109 b. Coll. Arm. to 

 have been the " relict of . . . . Holte." Her father was returned among 

 the gentrj- iu 1433. 



7. Collins calls him, erroneously, *' of Lillingstou Dayrell, Co. Bucks." This 

 was a distinct family, both as to arms and descent. Among the pedigrees of 

 persons of kin to the blood-royal, before mentioned, the name of his daughter 

 Margaret appears. 



8. Of this Alexander, and of his brother Thomas, no further traces have been 

 discovered. 



y. She was the grandmother of Queen Jane Seymour. 



10. There is no doubt of this marriage: the only singular fact is, that while it 

 ia recorded in the pedigrees of Long, it does not appear in those of Darell. 

 The introduction of the Coat of Stourton on the monximent of Sir Thomas 

 Long at Uraycot, would, of itself, point to the first wife of Sir George Darell 

 as the mother of Lady Long, as, no doubt, she was. 



11. He was one of the numerous retinue of Edward Duke of Buckingham, 

 when he went to meet the King at Taunton to oppose Perkin Warbeck. There 

 is a drawing of his Standard in a MS. volume at the College of Arms, and 

 a description of it is given in the Excerpta Historica. His crest is, out of a 

 dunal coronet argent, a Saracen's head in prolUe, couped at the shoulders ppr. 

 bearded Sable, on his head a cap Gules fretty Or tied with a ribbon Argent. 

 The Arms are (quarterly 1 and 4. Darell. 2 and 3. Calston. The motto "Si 

 je puis je le fcray." By his will he desiios, if he should die " at Litelcote 

 or elsewhere in the realm of England," to be buried in the parish Church of 

 Ramsbury, "in a Chappill of our Blessed ladie in the saide Churche, sett and 

 made." He also desiies a "marble stone with the armesofthe Darells in 

 [jlate of brass set in the same," to be placed over his son's grave at Calais, with 

 "like platys of brasse of the tyme of the dcthe, and of the mauer of the dethe" 

 of his said sou. Of the "hangings," &c., in his chambers at Littleeote, we have 

 before Bi)oken. It may be added, that he makes bequest, as was the fashion 

 of the times, of a "ilemish chare covered with black velvet, and embroidered 

 witli my badge and two cushions thereon, embroidered on the one side with 

 drops of gold, and the other, in both sides, with the letters E. and A." " My 

 CliajMl at Littleeote" is al.«o mentioned, and he speaks of the Parks of Uanis- 

 l»ury, Littleeote, and KulMdon. The oversi'(trs appointed were Sir M'illiani
