History of Monmouthshire, 1796, Appx. No. LXIV. 8 and 9. Harry and John Dwnn were brothers, sons of Griffith Dwnn, who captured the sieur de Gaucourt in the wars of France, and of whose retinue William of Worcestre* has preserved the following muster: Homines lanceati Gryffith Don armigeri apud captionem domini Gawcourt. Ragland. Gryffyth Don habuit 3 filios in Francia: Robertus Don, non maritavit; Henricus Don-in Francia-maritavit filiam Sir Roger Vaghan chevaleri, et mortuus [est] apud Banbery-felde; tertius filius minor Johannes Don, qui maritavit filiam domini de Hastyngys chamberleyn regis." Harry Dwnn was of Picton, co. Pembroke, (misprinted Pyrton, in Will. of Worcestre), and he married Margaret, daughter of Sir Harry Wgan, and was therefore brother-in-law to John Wgan (No. 2), and by marriage another nephew of the Earl of Pem broke. John Dwnn was of Kydweli, co. Carmarthen, and married Elizabeth Hastings, sister (not, as Worcester says, daughter) of the Lord Chamberlain to King Edward IV. This is the couple represented in the highly curious picture at Chiswick House, which I described in your Magazine for Nov. 1840, p. 489, and respecting which Sir S. R. Meyrick had the kindness to furnish some further eluci dation in your number for January last, p. 38. 10. Rhys ap Morgan, of Bwlston, co. Pembroke (instead of ap Ulston). 11. Jenkin Perot, of Scotsborough, co. Pembroke, near Tenby. According to Lewys Dwnn, Jankin Perot was of Warwick, and second son of Sir William Perot of Scotsborough, by Margaret, daughter and coheir of Sir Harry Wgan; and in the Dwnn pedigree he states that Annes, the sole heiress of Harry Dwnn (No. 8.) was * Itin. p. 118. married to borough. Perot, of Scots 12. Sir S. R. Meyrick suggests that Eneand is a corruption of Eineon, which name occurs in the pedigrees of Pembrokeshire. By Worcestre the name is written Eynam. 13. "John Contour" is John Cantor, i. e. the chanter or precentor, of the church of Hereford. To carry the balance even, I append also some brief references to the names of the North-country party. 1. Sir Harry Latimer. Leland, in describing the Beauchamp Chapel at Warwick, says, "There lyith buried (as some saye) in the west end of our Lady Chapell one of the Nevilles lord Latemer, slayne at Edgcote field by Banbury (as some suppose), but there is neither tombe nor scripture seene. This was Sir Henry Neville, sonne and heire of George Neville lord Latemer; but he was never Lord, for he dyed before his father." Hall relates that he was killed in a skirmish that took place the night before the general battle. 2. Sir Roger Pigot was of Melmerby, near Ripon. 3. James, son and heir of Sir John Conyers, of Hornby, co. York. Sir John himself was the principal com mander of the Northern men. 4. Oliver Dudley esquire (not Audley), was a son of John lord Dudley, K.G. He was brother-in-law of No. 1, having married a daughter of George lord Latimer by lady Elizabeth Beauchamp, daughter of Richard Earl of Warwick. The correctness of the information given to Leland (as above stated) is proved by the will of Elizabeth lady Latimer, in which she desires to be buried "between my naturalborn son Harrie Latimer and Oliver Dudley late my son-in-law. (Testamenta Vetusta, p. 358.) 5. Sir Thomas Wake was a gentleman of the privy chamber, and of the council to King Edward IV. and from his possessions and influence has been called "the great Wake." From Roger, who eventually became his son and heir, are descended the Wakes, Baronets, of Clevedon, co. Somerset. 6. William Malory esquire was of Studley Royal near Ripon, in right of his wife, Douse, daughter of Sir William Tempest. Besides these, William of Worcestre mentions among the slain of the Northern party the son of Lord Fitzhugh. If he fell also, the field must be considered a very fatal one to the leaders of both sides. Hall describes the captains of the Northern men as "Henrie sonne to the lord Fitz-Hugh and sir Henrie Neville, sonne and heire to the lord Latimer, the one being nephue and the other cousinegermane to the erle of Warwike. Although (it is added) these yoong gentlemen bare the names of capteins yet they had a governour, that was sir John Coniers, a man of such courage and valiantnesse, as few are to be found in his daies within the North parts." Henry lord Fitz-hugh, who perhaps was at this time absent from England on his pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre, on which he started in 1468, married Lady Alice Neville, one of the Earl of Warwick's sisters, and was succeeded by his son Richard. Sir Henry Neville was the son of George lord Latimer, one of the Earl of Warwick's uncles. But Sir John Conyers himself was by marriage as nearly related to the Earl of Warwick, for he had married Alice, one of the daughters and coheirs of William Neville, lord Fauconberg, and Earl of Kent. He subsequently, in the reign of Richard III. was elected a Knight of the Garter. His eventual son and heir William was summoned to Parliament by Henry VIII. and the barony thus created is now vested in the Duke of Leeds. Yours, &c. J. G. N. Wirksworth, March 15. MR.

In a future communication I shall conclude these imperfect and desultory notices. I shall then also avail myself of the corrections which have been kindly made by your correspondents, and point out some other articles in the Review the authorship of which I have ascertained since the former catalogues were published. I may just repeat that the object of these papers is two-fold, to impart as well as to obtain informa tion; I shall therefore be much obliged by any corrections or additions that may be made to these collections.

UBBAN, London, April 28. I HAVE lately read with much pleasure Messrs. Irby and Mangles's "Travels in Egypt and Nubia, Syria and Asia Minor" (London, 1823), which I have found to be plainly written, and the descriptions given with great accuracy. I have, however, noticed one passage which is so extremely erroneous that I trust you will excuse my pointing out the mistake, and at the same time adding, in a few words, my correction of it. These travellers, at p. 514, describing some ruins near a place called Ayash, in a sandy bay of Asia Minor (not far from the river Latmus), and close to the sea shore, those of "a large Christian church," state with regard to the latter," the side walls are mostly fallen, but over the door in front a cross is sculptured in relief, thus: and some visitor has scratched near it a flag on a staff, probably a banner imprinted by some Cru sader." Now what these authors call "a banner," or "a flag on a staff," is, I submit, merely the Greek letter A, or alpha, and the figure on the right hand of the cross, concerning which they do not venture any conjecture, is also another Greek letter, in fact an w, or omega. Hence the diagram signifies the Grecian cross, with A and imprinted on each side of it. This sculpture is then clearly the work of some Greek Christians, and has in early times been placed over the door of the church. Indeed the same device, i. e. a cross with the letters A and , alpha and omega, is not unfrequent in the catacombs and primeval Christian remains of Italy, Sicily, &c. No doubt can arise that this is the true interpretation of these two figures; because, being indisputably the ancient rectangular form of the @, consequently, if A were the banner of a |
