Notes:

Thomas de Poynings, 3rd baron, b. 19 April, 1349, does not appear to have been summoned to parliament. This nobleman m.

Notes:

Thomas Bardolf de Wormegay, 5th Baron Bardolf, summoned to parliament from 12 September, 1390, to 22 August, 1404. This nobleman, joining Henry, Earl of Northumberland, Thomas, earl marshal and Nottingham, and Richard Scrope, archbishop of York in their rebellion, temp Henry IV (for which the earl marshal and archbishop were beheaded at York), he was forced, with the Earl of Northumberland, to fly to France; but those lords returning in about three years afterwards, and, again raising the standard of insurrection in Yorkshire, they were attacked by the sheriff and the power of the county at Bramham Moor, where, sustaining a total defeat, the earl fell in the field, and Lord Bardolf died soon afterwards of his wounds. His lordship had married Avicia, dau. of Ralph, Lord Cromwell, and left two daus., viz., Anne, m. 1st to Sir William Clifford, Knt., and 2ndly to Reginald, Lord Cobham; Joane, m. to Sir William Phelip, K.G. (son of Sir John Phelip, Knt. of Donynton, Suffolk), a valiant solder in the French wars of King Henry V, to which monarch he was treasurer of the household, and, at his decease, had the chief direction of his funeral. Sir William is said to have been raised to the peerage by letters patent, as Lord Bardolf, in the reign of Henry VI, but he was never summoned to parliament. By Joane Bardolf, he left an only dau. and heiress, Elizabeth, who m. John, Viscount Beaumont.

Thomas, the 5th and unfortunate Lord Bardolf dying thus and being afterwards attainted, his Barony and large possessions became forfeited. The estates were divided between Thomas Beaufort, Duke of Exeter, the king's brother, Sir George Dunbar, Knt., and the queen; but the latter proportion, upon the petition of Sir William Clifford and his wife, and Sir William Phelip and his wife, to the king, was granted in reversion, after the queen's decease, to those representatives of the attainted nobleman. Dugdale states "that Lord Bardolf's remains were quartered, and the quarters disposed of by being set upon the gates of London, York, Lenne, and Shrewsbury, while the head was placed upon one of the gates of Lincoln; his widow obtained permission, however, in a short time to remove and bury them."
