• Notes

  Sir Roger d'Amorie was summoned to parliament as a Baron, from 20 November, 1317, to 15 May 1321. This nobleman obtained in the 13th Edward II, from the crown, confirmed by the parliament then held at York, the manors of Sandall, in Yorkshire, Halghton, in Oxfordshire, and Faukeshall, in Surrey, as likewise 100 marks per annum to be paid out of the exchequer. his lordship was engaged in the wars of Scotland and was governor at different times of Knaresborough Castle, the castle of Gloucester, and St. Briavel's Castle. He was also warden of the forest of Dene. He joined, however, in the confederacy against the Spencers. and enrolling himself under the banner of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, marched on Burton-upon-Trent, and thence to Tutbury Castle, co. Stafford, where falling ill, he d. in 1322 and was buried in the priory at Ware, in Hertfordshire. His lordship m. Elizabeth, 3rd sister and co-heir of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester (who had been previously twice a widow, 1st of John de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, and 2ndly, of Theobald de Verdon, she was also niece of King Edward II). By this lady he had issue, two daus., his co heirs, viz., Elizabeth, m. to John, Lord Bardolph, by whom she had William, Lord Bardolph, whose son, Thomas, Lord Bardolph, being attainted, the Baronies of Bardolph and D'Amorie fell under the attainder and expired in 1404; and Eleanor, m. to John de Raleigh, progenitor, it is said, of the celebrated Sir Walter Raleigh. Upon the decease of Lord D'Amorie, orders were given to seize all his lands as an enemy and rebel, and to make delivery of them to Elizabeth de Burgh, his widow. This lady d. in the 34th Edward III., leaving, Dugdale says, Elizabeth Lady Bardolph, then above thirty years of age; Nicholas calls this Elizabeth the only dau. and heir of Roger, Lord D'Amorie; as such, she of course inherited the Barony of D'Amorie, and it expired as stated above, with that of Bardolph; but Banks mentions the other dau., who if Sir Walter Raleigh sprang from her, left descendants, amongst some of whom the Barony of D'Amorie may yet be in abeyance. One branch of this ancient house was long seated at Yatt, co. Gloucester; and another has migrated to America where, in the United States, the name and family of Amory are well known and esteemed.
