( a ) See Vol. vi, p. 242 of Marshall's " Genealogist," in which work is a series of papers relating to tho family of de Braose, ending with one in Vol. vii, pp. 56-60, signed with the well-known initials " D.G.C.E." ( b ) See ante, VoL i, p. 259, note "c." and p. Ill, note "b " for observations as to neither of these writs (1294 or 1297) constituting a regular writ of summons to Pari.

( d ) These were (1) Alina who m. firstly, John (Mowbray), Lord Mowbray (by whom she was ancestress of the Dukes of Norfolk) and secondly Sir Richard Peshall, by whom she also had issue. (2) John de Bohun (afterwards, 1363, Lord Bohun de Midhurst) s. and h. of Joan, yst. sister of Alina, by James de Bohun. The representation, in 1886, appears to be, as to one moiety, among the heirs gen. of Humphrey de Bohun (grandson of the said John) who d. s.p.m. 1499 (see "Genea- logist" Vol. vii, pp. 58-60), while, as to the other moiety, one half thereof (} of the whole) is represented by Louisa Mary, de jure (apparently) Baroness Berkeley (as representing that one of the two coheirs of Mowbray, who m. James, Lord Berkeley) while the other half is represented by Lord Mowbray and Lord Petre (each having ! of the whole) as representing the other Mowbray coheir who m. Sir Robert Howard. The style of "Lord Braose" was (wrongfully) assumed by the Dukes (Mowbray) of Norfolk, being but cuheirs of that dignity, as also, (still more wrongfully) by the Lords Berkeley, and by tho Dukes (Howard) of Norfolk, each of whom was but a coheir of the Mowbray family, itself but a coheir of Braose.
