page 30 note a It was probably through the nobleman here mentioned that this paper came into the possession of its present noble owner. George Manners, the descendant of a very ancient and important family in Northumberland, acquired the Barony of Roos as the heir of his mother Alianore, sister and coheir of Edmund Lord Roos. He married Anne, daughter and heir to Sir Thomas St. Leger, Knight, and Anne Duchess of Exeter his wife, sister to King Edward IV. and by her had a son Thomas, who was Lord Roos at the time of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, but on the 28th June, 1525, was advanced to the Earldom of Rutland. (Dug. Bar. ii. 296.)

He says, “la dicte maison … etoit de merveilleuse grandeur en carrure; et estoit la dicte maison toute de bois, de toille, et de verre, et estoit la plus belle verrine que jamais l'on vist, car la moitié de la maison estoit toute de verrine et vous asseure qu'il y faisoit bien clair; et y avoit quatre corps de maison dont au moindre vous eussiez logé un Prince; …. et la chapelle de merveilleuse grandeur, et bien estoffée tant de reliques que de toutes autres paremens; et vous asseure que si tout cela estoit bien fourni, aussi estoient les caves, car les maisons des deux Princes durant le voyage ne furent fermées à personne.” Mem. de Fleuranges, 319, 320.
