62 History of the 



Alice de Lacy to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, the house of Lan- 

 caster became the owners. This Thomas was subsequently be- 

 headed for joining the insurrection of the Barons, and at his death 

 his wife Alice surrendered into the hands of Edward IL, all the 

 Forest of Rossendale with the appurtenances. During the reign 

 of Edward L, therefore, Rossendale belonged to the Lacys, and 

 the Henry Rossyndale referred to doubtless resided here, and 

 owned a portion of the Forest copyhold under a lease from the 

 said Henry de Lacy. 



This Henry Rossyndale was evidently a personage of import-

 and rich, and William Rosindale, by virtue of this alliance, 

 quartered the arms Peake, Tetenhall and Hilton with his own. 



" On the monument of Humphrey Lloyd, at Whitchurch, are 

 the four quarterings of Rosindale, alias Lloyd, impaling eight of 

 Lumley his wife. The four are Rosindale, Tetenhall, Hilton and 

 Peake. In the Had. MS. 1791, is a copy of the Rosindale quart-

 Dutton and Vernon, of Halton.
