Thanks Jim, for your usual expert feedback. And as usual, I learned much from your information.
Which brings to mind a question regarding Patrick de Chaworth (de Cadurcis, etc.) -
in my copy of The Roll of Battle Abbey it states: (passage quoted in entirety)
Patrick de Cadurcis, or Chaworth, whose name appears on the Battle Roll, was a native of Little Brittany, and after the victory of Hastings, appears to have been rewarded by grants of land in Gloucestershire. From him descended Thomas de Chaworth, who was summoned to parliament as a Baron in 1299, and whose descendants continued for a long series of generaions, seated in high repute in the counties of Nottingham and Derby. The eventual heires was the "Mary Chaworth" of Lord Byron's poetry -
"Herself the solitary scion left
Of a time-honoured race."
This lady, who was only child of William Chaworth, Esq., of Annesley, m. in 1805, John Musters, Esq., of Colwick and d. in 1832. (end quote)
My question regarding Patrick de Chaworth concerns the mention at the beginning concerning the mention of Hastings. My copy of the 1896/1939 book Falise Roll does not mention him although my copy of the 1988/1990 A.J. Camp book "My Ancestors Came With the Conqueror" connects him only in The Battle Abbey Roll and references:
Cleveland I 229-233 & Loyd 27.
Do you know anything about him being a participant at Hastings in 1066?
Thank you
