He m. firstly Alice, da. of John Skifwith, of Colthrop (s. of Sir writ' The said Isabel m. secondly, Richard Huddleston, and d, 1587. (2) Margaret, m. Henry (Norreys), Lord Norreys, her descendant and representetive being the present (1897) Earl of Abing<lon, who thus represente the other moiety. (•) See Coll, Top, et Qen,^ vol. iv, pp. 881-345, for an elaborate account of that family, which somewhat contradicte that in vol. i. of this work (iuh " Beke ") and is apparently more reliable. (b) It ts very missible that the precedence of the Barony of Beke (1295) was allowed to that of Willoughby, and that the summons of 1818 may be looked on in the light of a termination of the nlieyance of the Bnrony of Beke in favour of the Willoughby coheir. Some ground for this araumption is given in 1597, when the Barony of De Ta Warr (a creation of 1299), was placed next bdow the Barony of Willoughby, which, if the precedence of Willoughby had been but 1818, would have been anomalous. (0) There is proof in the Rolls of Pari, of his sitting. (^) Coll Tbp, H Oen,^ vol vii, p. 155,
