It seems probal)le on the whole, reviewing tlie ascertained dates 

 in George de Percy's career, that he was born about 1270 ; his wife, 

 Margaret, some few years later, as is usual. Alice, the last of the 

 line, was born, according to the availal)le evidence, Ijetween lo90 

 and 1400, and the number of intervening generations, at 30 years 

 apiece, seems sufficient. AVith regard to the succession : — we know 

 by the ''extent" of 1330 that George had a son John then alive, 

 while another son, Edmund, was dead without issue. AVe know 

 that John's wife, Elizabeth, had been abducted from Ohalfield as 

 early as 1318. According to the pedigrees Nos. 1 and II above 

 this John remarried with Constance. Constance occurs as a widow 

 5 March, 1355-6 {Cartidarij, i., p. 306). She occurs as the wife 

 of John Percy [of West Chalfield] in April, 1359 {Cart, i., p. 399). 

 She occurs as the wife of Philip Fitzwarine, 16 August, 1361 

 {Cart, i., p. 307). John Percy, therefore, died between Ai)ril, 1.*).j9, 

 and August, 1361. In 1362 Lhe Prior of W'orspriiig pik'sonlctl lo
