| commissioner on the Marches for
settling disputes on the border,332 and he occurs, with his brother Sir
Robert Ogle, as a commissioner for trespasses.333 On the 21st of
September, 1431, he was appointed commissioner with respect to
concealments in Norhamshire and Islandshire. 334 He was again high
sheriff in 1430 and also in the years 1434 and 1438. In 1433/4, with
Sir Robert Ogle, senior, and Sir Robert Ogle, junior, he was a
commissioner for the’ correction of violations against the truce,
335
and on the 7th of February, 1434, the baron of Greystock and he had
power given them to grant safe conduct to persons coming from
Scotland into England. On the 30th of June, 1437, he gave to William
Wedell, chaplain, tenements in Sheepwash and Ashington with the
liberty of fishing in the Wansbeck. 336 On the 31st of March, 1438,
with the dukes of Gloucester and Norfolk, Sir Robert Ogle and
others, he was appointed a conservator of the truce with Scotland,
and on the 2nd of April following, he was deputed to set off to the
garrison and inhabitants of Berwick and Roxburgh proper limits,
within which they might have pasturage and hay for their cattle,
etc. 337 In 1439, he and John Ogle witnessed together.338 He had a natural
son Edward,339 who was a witness to a charter of his father on the 30th
of June, 1437,340 and died twenty-four days after the battle of Towton
from wounds received on that Palm Sunday, leaving Jane, a daughter
and heir, represented by Thomas Bates of Prudhoe,341 but there appears
to have been an Edward Bertram aged fifty-two in 1444, who had a
daughter Joan.342 This Edward was sheriff of Newcastle in 1431 and sat
in parliament for that town in 1441 the arms he used were or, an orle
azure with a cresent sable in the middle chief.343 Sir John Bertram died
in 1449, in which year (27 Henry VI)[1428] his inquisition post mortem
was taken; he held Bothal, Earsdon, Eshot, Tritlington, Fenrother,
Pigdon, and had the ward of the castle of Newcastle.344 He married Joan, daughter of Sir John Loudham, knight.345 She is mentioned on the 21st of January, 1451 as his late wife, and held for her life lands, etc., in Earsdon, Tritlington, Fenrother, Hebburn, Pigsmoor and Newmoor.346 She was widow of Sir John Swillyngton.* (To XII. K.) Joan, an infant, with her sister, Margery, in 1374/5 when their father gave them and William de Eland parson of Ingram, lands in Longwitton. Margery had a grant of land in Longwitton as above in 1374/5.347 She married Robert., son of Hugh Raymes.348 Robert Raymes is mentioned in her father’s will.349 Z.—Sir John Ogle, knight. In the year 1435, Sir Robert Ogle, senior, was constable of Norham castle, and Sir Robert Ogle, junior, captain of Berwick, who with a force of 4,000 men made an inroad ravaging the country between Halton and Paxton: he was met and defeated in September at Piperdon by William Douglas, earl of Angus, with an equal number of Scots. The English lost. 40 knights and 400 men, including Sir Henry Cliddesdale, Sir John Ogle, Sir Richard Percy and 300 prisoners, including Sir Robert Ogle, were captured.350 XII.—Robert, first Lord Ogle of Ogle and Redesdale, knight, was born in 1406. He occurs in the annals of history in 1434, when he and his father were appointed commissioners to prevent violations of the truce with Scotland,351 and appears to have been, with William Bertram, a knight of the shire in 13 Henry VI.352 In the same year he was, as Sir Robert Ogle the 332 Cal.

younger, captain of Berwick, and, after laying
waste the country, was attacked by the Scotch under the earl of
Angus at Piperdon and completely defeated, he being taken prisoner
and Sir John Ogle and others killed. His name occurs as member of
Parliament from this year to the year 1441. In 1436. after his
father’s death, he had livery of his lands in Ogle, Hepple, etc.,
and on the 24th August of the same year was appointed constable of
Norham castle, seueschal, sheriff and escheator ill Norhamshire and
Island- shire for 20 years. He was high sheriff of the county in
l43j, and in that year was commissioned to give safe conducts on the
East Marches of which he was, in conjunction with Sir Ralph Grey,
appointed a warden in April, 1438, and again on the 5th of February,
1439, and was appointed to carry out the array of Northumberland for
the defence of the Border in the same manner as the late Sir Henry
Percy had done. He, with Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, John, duke of
i Norfolk, Henry, earl of Northumberland, Sir John Bertram and
others, was a conservator of the truce concluded with the Scotch the
last day of March, 1438, to hold from sun rising the 1st of May next
to sun setting the 1st of May, 1447. One matter in dispute in 1438,
was the question of a compensation due to him on account of his
having been seized and held to ransom (for 750 marks) by the Scots
in time of truce between 1426 and 1435. It was agreed that he should
be indemnified with a Scottish ship which had been seized at
Newcastle, but this was found to have been sold by the admiral or
his lieutenant and Sir Robert was involved in a dispute with the
latter which was not ended until 1442. The wardens must then have
dwelt at Roxburgh castle, for as such they are mentioned as being
there on the 26th of November, 143S. He was also one of those, whom
with Sir John Bertram, his uncle, were appointed to settle the
hounds between the two kingdoms between Berwick and Roxburgh castle.
In 1439, Thomas Lyle, esq., gave Sir Robert. Ogle and •John
Swinburne, probably in trust, the manor and yule of Felton, the
witnesses of which were his uncle, John Bertram, and his brother,
.John Ogle, esq. : 361 this probably concerned the settlements of
his sister, who married Thomas Lisle on the 1st of February. On the
2nd of November of that year. as cousin of our lord bishop (Robert
Nevill), he was appointed constable of Norham castle, seneschal,
sheriff and escheator for life. which was confirmed the next year.
In 1444. Ralph, Lord Greystock, made two indented grants in trust to
Sir Robert Ogle and others. His name occurs at l3amburgh. 25 Henri-
VI., 1447.364 He occurs as writing to the prior to inform him that
John Gisseburn, the vicar appointed in 1447, should either reside on
his benefice or provide a curate, that otherwise the parishioners
would pay no more tithes, the vicar being some time afterwards
admonished. In 1448, the English made an unsuccessful inroad into
Scotland In 1449, his two sons, Sir Robert and Thomas Ogle, were
outlawed for ra The same year, on a truce made with the Scots to
hold during pleasure by Robert, bishop of Durham, Sir John
Beauchamp, constable of England, and others, he was one of the
conservators thereof, and also the year after, when the truce was
extended to the 15th of August, 14.54. Being at Fowberry on the 16th
of September, 1449. as Robert, Lord Ogle, senior, knight. he granted
to Robert Fowberry all his lands in Fowberrv for life. In 1450, he
and William Bertram, esq., attested a charter whereby the earl of
Northumberland bestowed the advowson of Leconfield on Ainwick abbey,
and in August he gave his brother William the reversion of
Longwitton held by Matilda his mother for life. In 1452, |

| the earl of Douglas committed
excesses. on the border with a design of involving the king in war,
which was averted by the forbearance of the English govern ment who
sent letters to Lord Poynings, Sir Robert Ogle, the bailiif and
lieutenant of Tynedale, John Heron of Ford, and Ralph Grey, that
they were under no circumstances to make reprisals. Tynedale has
also been called a lordship. He was also a commissioner to collect
loans and contributions,’ and also, on the 9th of January and 5th of
February, 1453, with others, was appointed by Robert iNevill to
enquire into divers concealments and nuisances, etc., in Norhamshire
and Islandshire, and mentioned as receiving (. the tithed of
Horncliffe, and, in 1454, as a tenant of lands in Ancroft under the
monastery. The next year saw the opening of the Wars of the Roses
and. the first battle of St. Alban’s. Six hundred men were brought
from the Marches, probably under the earl of Warwick, warden of the
West Marches, who is stated to have caused the movement by which the
Yorkists broke into the town the credit of which by another account
is given to Sir Robert Ogle; he was also one of the commissioners
appointed by the victorious party 1.0 raise money for the defence of
Calais. On the 12th of September he gave to John, his brother, the
manor of North Middleton, near Angerton for his life, William
Bertram, his cousin, being a witness. In 35 Henry VI. he was, as he
had also been for four years previously, constituted ambassador to
treat with Scotland for a truce, and soon after he, William Bertram,
and others, were appointed commissioners to raise archers in the
county. On the 27th of February, 1459, Sir Ralph Grey and he are
spoken of as late wardens of Roxburgh, so their office must have
terminated after twenty years service, but Sir Robert Ogle was still
escheator of Norham that year. In October, he and his son, Sir
Robert Ogle, knight, Sir John Middleton of Belsay, knight, the prior
of Hexhain, and others, were appointed ambassadors to treat with
ambassadors of Scotland for a truce. He was also a conservator of
the truce with the dukes of Buckin Norfolk, and others. In 38 Henry
VI. he gave his son, Sir Robert Ogle, knight, and Joan, his wife, an
annual rent issuing from a messuage in Neweastle-on-Tyne. In this
year James, king of Scotland was killed in his attempt to take
Roxburgh, which, however, was subsequently taken. On the 10th of
july, 1400, at the battle of Northampton, Henry VI. fell into the
hands of the Yorkists. On the 30th of December, Richard, duke of
York, was killed at the battle of Wakefield; Edward his son, then
duke of York, cut his way through the Lancastrians at Mortimer’s
Cross and was proclaimed king on the 4th of March. 1401, and the
victory at Towton on the 29th following, where the earl of
Northumberland and Sir John Nevill were killed, secured his throne.
Sir Robert Ogle probably took part in these battles, and Hodgson
says that lie was on the 16th of March of this year constituted
warden general of the East Marches with large powers: 384 after
Towton, however, he, with Sir John Conyers, were reported to be
besieging Henry VI iii a place in Yorkshire called Coroumbr. He had
a commission to fake into his hands the castle of Harbott.le and the
lordship of Redesdale and the castle of Ford, and further had a
grant for life in these estates; he had a commission, with John
Nevill of Montague and William Ogle, to array the king’s forces for
Northumberland and he had another for the forces in Westmoreland. He
was summoned the 26th of July, by Edward IV. as baron Ogle of Ogle
to his first parliament to meet on the 4th of November following. On
the 8th of August he had a grant for life in the offices of
seneschal and constable of the lordships and castles of Ainwick,

earl of Northumberland,387 and on the 5th of November, was appointed
ambassador’s plenipotentiary of England to treat with deputies of
the crown of Scotland for a cession of hostilities between the two
realms. As Lord Ogle he was appointed, the 2nd of March, 1461 (?) a
justice of the peace, etc. On the 28th of January, 1462, the king
granted to him and his heirs male in special tail the lordship of
Redesdale and the castle and borough of Harbottle, with all royal
franchises forfeited by Sir William Tailboys; the viJie of Ellington
which had belonged to Lord Welles who was killed at Towton; a rent
of £8 a year out of Beneley, and the towns of Shilbottle,
Rennington, Gysens, Middleton and the lands called Talbottes lands
in Tyne dale, all late belonging t.o the earl of Northumberland.
After Towton, Henry \ I. and his queen fled to Berwick, which they
surrendered to the Scotch, and in April, 1462, Queen Margaret went
to France. Iii that year Alnwick, it appears, was still in the hands
of the Lancastrians, and it was taken by Lord Hastings and Sir Ralph
Grey, but Robert, Lord Ogle and others are reported to have taken
possession of it on the .30th of July. After it was evacuated Queen
Margaret with her General do Brezé landed near Bamburgh on the 25th
of October, and the three castles of Alnwick, Bamburgh and
Dunstanburgh either then fell into her hands or were already in
possession of the Laiicastrians. Hearing of the earl of Warwiek
advance, Margaret with de Brezd escaped on the arrival of the French
fleet which was afterwards wrecked on Holy Island on its attempt to
get to Berwick, where Lord Ogle captured many Frenchmen with their
leaders. On the 10th of December. Alnwick, Dunstanburgh, and
Bamburgh were invested under the earl of Warwick whose headquarters
were at Warkworth. Lords Montague and Ogle were before Bamburgh
which capitulated on the 24th of December and Dunsfanburgh three
days afterwards. It is probable that Lord Ogle and a part of his
force assisted before Dunstanburgh after Bamburgh had fallen. On the
6th of January, 1463, Brezé with the assistance of the Scotch under
the earl of Angus was enabled to bring off the greater part of the
garrison of Ainwick which finally capitulated on the 30th of
January. However, by treachery and by others, these three castles
again fell into the hands of the Lancastrians, and in the early
summer, Henry VI., Margaret and Brezé were in Bamburgh castle with
2,000 men, and Henry, with the king of Scots, afterwards laid siege
to Yorham, from which they were driven by the earl of Warwick and
Lord Montague. On the 30th of July, Margaret, her son, and Brezd
sailed for Flanders. In the meantime Henry VI. reigned over
Bamburghshire and Ainwick. In March, 1464, Robert, Lord Ogle, was a
commissioner for treating with Scotland for terms of peace and he
was sub sequently on other commissions. On the 25th of April, Lord
Montague (or Montacute) defeated the Lancastrians at Hedgely moor
and on the 8th of May, they were again defeated by Lord Montague at
Hexham. The 13th of June following, the earl of Warwick forced the
surrender of Alnwick, and on the 2 of that month, he with his
brother Montague, then earl of Northumberland, took Bamburgh.
Robert, Lord Ogle, was made constable of that castle and receivers
of the revenues of its lordships by a patent of Edward lIT., in his
4th year. In the year 1465 Lord Ogle had another grant of Redesdale
and Harbottle which no doubt altered the grant in tail male of 1462.
On the 20th of .June, the king at IVestrninster commissioned John
evill, earl of Northumberland, Lord Ogle and others to treat with
James, king of Scotland about his marrying with some person of the
king of England’s allegiance. He and Ewyn, his son and heir, granted
to John do Murray, chaplain, a messuage in Great Tossan; this deed
is dated at our castle of Bothal on the “ Ap. 265. ‘ Roll Scot. II., pp. 401, 404. “ Elaine, p. 47. “° Cal. Pat. “ Cowen. Brand TI., p. 427; Hist. North. II., p. 173. “ Cal. Pat., pp. 414, 417, 418. “ Cay. & Ogle, p. 350. “ Ap. 193. 396 Cay. & Ogle, p. 350. v |

| 20th day of October, 5 Edward IV.’; so
it appears they were wardens of this castle after the death of Sir
William Bertram the same year, the heir being a minor. The 20th of
November following, Lord Ogle was commissioned with George,
archbishop of York, Richard Nevill, earl of Warwick, and John
Nevill, earl of Northumberland, the two latter being his cousins, to
treat with Colin, earl of Argyle, at Newcastle, the 4th of December
next, for the redressing of in juries which had been done contrary
to the truce; and on the 12th, a truce was concluded which was to
hold until the last day of October, 1479. On the 10th of October,
1466, he, with his two cousins above, and others, were com missioned
to settle all aftairs regarding the truce. The same year ho was
mentioned as Sir Robert Ogle, knight, lord of Ogle and Redesdale aud
superin tendent of the borough of Holy Island,boo and 20th of April,
1467, as Robert, lord of Ogle and Redesdale, a Ewyn, his son and
heir, by an indenture at Bothal, and sealed with a bulfs head crest,
granted a tenement in Morpeth to Thbmas Spore, and on the 20th of
May, granted Ewyn, his son and heir, and Eleanor, Ewyn’s wife, the
manor of North Middleton. Tn 1468, his name occurs as seneschal of
the bishop’s borough of Holy Island. He died on the 1st of November,
1469; his inquisitions were taken at Carlisle on the 5th aud at
Newbiggin on the 8th of Februcry, 1470. He held Thursby in
Cumljerlaiid, and in Northumberland, manors and tenements in.

third of Ingram aud Horsley, Bamburgh, Newhall, Clifton, East
Hartington, Morpeth, the lordship of Redesdale, and the castle and
borough of Harbottle. Dugdale says he was summoned to parliament the
1st, 2nd, 6th, and 9th years of Edward TV.’s reign. He married Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir Alexander Kirkby, eldest son of Sir Richard Kirkby of Kirkby, Lancashire, the latter of whom, is mentioned in Lady Ogle’s will, dated at Chipchase the 2nd of January, 1477, in which she desired to be buried in the monastery of St. Andrew, Hexham; she had property in Lancashire which came to her on the death of Sir Richard Kirkby, who had survived his son. Her will was proved at Gates- head on the 5th of February, 14 405 (To XIII.) John Ogle. (See the 0 of Las page 168.) He married Margaret, daughter and co-heir of Roger Booth, of Prescot, Lancashire. William Ogle. (See the Ogles of CJhopphigton, etc., page 175.) He married aiid had issue. Margaret married, first Sir Robert Grey, knight, secondly Nicholas Bellingham. Hodgson states that these marriages occur in Glover’s pedigree. Margery married Robert Harbottle, son and heir of the late Robert Harbottle, esq., and Dame Isabel, his wife, for whom covenanf.s were drawn up; 409 and Sir Robert Ogle, knight, on the 20th of August, 1424, settled land in Ellingham on the pair and their heirs for which they were to render annually a rose on the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, and, in ease of failure of issue, with remainder to the direct heirs of Robert Harbottle paying forty pence annually. The trustees of the late Robert Harbottle, on the 24th of August, conveyed his estates in Ellingham to the pair. He apparently was Sir Robert Harbottle in 18 Henry VT.; their grandson was Sir Ralph, who, in 1502, met Margaret, daughter of Henry VI., at Newcastle on her way to her marriage with James TV. of Scotland; this Queen Margaret °°“ Ap. 77.

share in the rebellion called the Pilgrimage of Grace, and Sir

1572, for his share in the rebellion of 1569. |

1454, and was a trustee to the same cousin for Middleton near
Angerton. In 1457/8, he, Sir Robert Ogle, and others received a
commissidn to raise archers in the county, and in 1458 ho was high sherift. In 1461, h.e was mentioned as deceased and as owing to the prior and convent of Durham £25 us. 8d.

On the 20th of October of this year Lord Ogle and Ewyn, his son and heir, dated a charter at our castle of Bothal,’ they thus seem to have had the wardship of his lands, the son oeing a minor. He married Alianor,* daughter of Sir Thomas Kempston. (‘lo XIII. K.)

In the same year Sir Richard Ogle, knight, was appointed to the office of constable and receiver of Bamburgh with the fees attached, and in 1466 a commission was issued to Sir Robert Ogle of Ogle, knight, and Sir Richard Ogle, knic to arrest certain persons. In 1473, he surrendered his grant of £100 a year for keeping the castle of Bamhurgh and received in compensation £40 a year. He married about 1440, Joan (Johanna), eldest daughter and co-heiress of Roger Thornton of W cast but died without issue.

XIll.—Sir Robert Ogle, knight, was probably born about the year 1428, and is inentione by Raine as Robert. son of Sir Robert Ogle. On the 20th of June, 1449, he, as Sir Robert Ogle the younger, knight, of Ogle, and Thomas Ogle, brother of the same, esq., and others, took by force of arms many head of cattle, sheep, etc., within the liberty of WTest Sleekburn and Camboise. On account of this raid an inquisition was taken at Bedlington on the 24th of July. following, and he and his brother were probably soon after outlawed, for we find that Sir Henry Percy, afterwards third earl of Northumberland, and Robert Manners had a joint grant of the goods and chattels of Sir Robert Ogle, knight, who had been outlawed. It is probable that as both these gentlemen were connected to Sir Robert Ogle the grant was in trust only. Ten years after, in 1459, Sir Robert was sent with his father as ambassador to Scotland. In 38 Henry VI., 1460, his father gave him and Joan, his wife, an annual rent out of a messuage in Newcasfle-on-Tyne. In 1461, a commis sion was issued to John Nevill of Montague and Robert.

was given to Robert Ogle of Ogle, knight., and Richard Ogle, knight,
with power of arrest.. He married Joan, who, it is inferred, was daughter of Sir William Eure. She was mentioned as Joan with her husband in 1460,461 and as my daughter Dame Johan Ogle in the will of Matilda, widow of Sir William Eure in 1466 who was described as of Kirkley and sheriff in 1426 and 1436,462 and on the 13th of August, 1467, an oratory was granted to Dame Joan Ogle and Henry Eure esq., within the diocese of 1 ork; a note states, this Lady Ogle, sister of the testator is mentioned in her mother’s will. On July the first 1472, Philip Cardinal uthorised Joan, widow of Sir Robert Ogle, knight, to marry John Penmgton; this was ratified at Beverley on the 15th of October by a dispensation for John Penington and Joan, widow of Sir Robert Ogle, to marry, being twice related in the third degree. Hodgson says lie married Johanna, eldest daughter of Roger Thornton of Witton castle, and that she died without issue, but by Burke’s Commoners,’ vol. ii., this lady married Richard Ogle (see above). Joan, it is said, was daughter of Roger Thornton of \ ewcastle, and married Sir Robert Ogle, lord of Bothal, and (lied without issue, but this is clearly wrong, and there is no evidence of the marriage iii the Thornton pedigree. Thonias Ogle occurs in an inquisition taken at Bedlington on the 24th of July, 1449, as brother to Sir Robert Ogle, these two having on the 24th of June, by force of arms possessed themselves of cattle, etc., in West. Sleekburn and Camboise and other places, for which Sir Robert. u-as outlawed, and it is possible this Thomas was also outlawed and that. he is the same person who, with Wilhiam Manners, was living with Andrew (‘rauford, at Edinburgh, in 1456 , Ewyn, second Lord Ogle, of Ogle, Redesdale, and Bot.hal, knight, was born about the year 1439, as he was thirty years old when his father’s inquisition was taken. Hodgson quotes ‘Cambden’s Remains,’ p. 66, to show that ‘Sir Owen Ogle’ is often written in Latin records Eugenius Ogle. He says this Lord Ogle styled himself of Ogle and Redesdale, but apparently only till 1472 (or 1477 ?), when Harbottle and Redesdale were restored to Sir Robert, son of Sir William Tailboys. He and his father on the 20th of October, 1465, dated a charter ‘at our castle of Bothal’ giving a messuage in Great Tossan to John de Murray, chaplain, they thus seem to have been the wardens of the heir and his lands, the heir being a minor, for on tile 20th of April, 1467, also at. Bothal the same two leased a tenement. in Morpeth to Thomas Spore. On the 26th bf May of the same year his father gave him and his wife, Eleanor, the manor of North Middleton this probably fixes the date of his marriage. On the 1st of November, 1469, after his father’s death, he succeeded to the title and the estates, and oil the 9th of March, 1471, gave to his uncle John Ogle the manor of North X near Angerton for life. In the year 1480, the English besieged Berwick by sea and land in vain, but two years afterwards an army of 22,000 men, led by the earl of Northumberland, the dukes of Albany and Gloucester, reduced it. In 1482, a lease of Norham was granted to Sir John Middleton by an indenture dated t.he 25th of March 22 Edward I for which Ewyn, Lord Ogle entered into a bond In 1482/3, he and William Ogle of Ogle were on the inquisition post mortem of Dame Elizabeth Burc.ester, and his name occurs in the Historical Manu scripts as certifying a deed without date.

summons to parliament in 22 Edward IV., 1482,480
but a licence to Owine Ogle, son and heir of Sir Robert Ogle, and
Isabella, his wife, deceased, to enter upon his lands with a pardon
for all contempts, is said to be dated in the time of Richard
III.,481 but he seems also to have been summoned the first year of
that reign, 1483, and the first year of Henry VII., 148.5, in wfiieh
year, on the 21st of .J anuary, he had settled the castle of Ogle
and the demesne lands in trust on Guy Fairfax, justice of the King’s
bench, and other trustees, the following being witnesses, Peter
Middleton and Robert Manners, knights, John Harbotfie, John Lilburn
and Thomas Middleton, esquires. The 31st of January, of the same
year, 1 Henry VII., he is mentioned in the inquisition post mortem
of Humphrey, Lord Dacre, as holding lands in Thurshy and Crofton,
and again as Ewyn, baron, son and heir of Robert Ogle, knight, and
John Swinburne releasing to Humphrey Lisle, esq., Felton, that which
they had of the gift of Thomas Lisle, but Hodgson’s date is 3 Henry
VII.; this grant was a release of the trusteeship given to his
father and John Swinburne, 17’ Henry He seems to have been on the
Royalists’ side at the. hard contested battle of Stoke near Newark
against John, earl of Lincoln on the 16th of June, 1486, the date of
which is often placed to the next year; 486 he may have been wounded
at this battle and have afterwards died of his wounds, for his death
occurred on the 1st of September following, The inquisitions taken
immediately after his death were not preserved, but one was taken at
Bedlington on the 28th of .1 uly, 1492 ( when Ralph, Lord Ogle, his
son, was twenty-four years of age, and one was taken at Haltwhistle
on the 30th of September, 1506, when it is stated he died possessed
of Bothal, Weteworth, Xewmoor, Pegsworth, Hebburn, Fenrother,
Tritlingtou, Earsdon, Longhirsf Old Moor, Ashington, Hepple,
Bikerton, Little and Great Tossan, Flotferton, T and half of
Trewhit, for the service of four knight’s fees, and that he died on
the 1st of September, 1486, his son and heir, Ralph, being then
eighteen years old. |

| tonements in Lancashire. She married
secondly John Widdrington, men tioned in Lady Ogle’s will with his
wife Isabel, to whom and John Heron she left her lands. He is also
mentioned as a knight. Z.—Sir Robert Ogle of Ogle, knight, is mentioned as receivino’ a commission of the peace in 1 Edward V. and 1 Richard III. ; it is not know who he was. In 1449, a letter mentions a Sir Robert Ogle; Eleanor, his widow, was living at Embleton in 1499, and a bearer of the tithes of Embleton church. K.—William Bertram or Ogle, son of Sir William Bertram, baron of Bothal, was sixteen years old when his father’s inquisition post morteni was taken in o Edward fl .,496 and there is reason for supposing that he and his lands were in the ward of Robert, Lord Ogle, who dated a charter at our castle of Bothal’ the 20th of October, 5 Edward IV. He made proof of age in June, 1472,* but he appears to have held the property for a very short time, for he died without issue and tue barony passed to Ewyn, Lord Ogle. L.—Robert Bertram or Ogle died young. XIV.—Ralph, third Lord Ogle, of Ogle and Bothal, knight, was born about the year 14(8, as in an inquisition taken in 1506 he is stated to have been eighteen years old at his father s death on the 1st of September, 1486 ; however, his general pardon in 1509 from Henry VII. included all oftences before the 23rd of April, 148(3, and a pardon granted in 1494 for all oftenees before the 7th of November, 1489. marks the date of his coming of age.°°° Between 1486 and 1489, possibly a last stand of the earl of Lincoln’s adherents assisted by the Scotch, there appears to have been an act ion at Dunstanhurgh, for it is recorded that Ralph, Lord Ogle, assisted by Edmund and Richard Crawcester,’ bailiffs of Bamburgh, J. Manners and Gilbert Errington, reduced Dunstanburgh and took the garrison prisoners. The fact that there was some action here at this date seems borne out from the circumstances connected with the earl of Northumberland, who was taken prisoner at Bosworth field, and after his death Edmund Craster was, in consideration of his good services, appointed constable of Dunstanburgh, the 8th of July, 1489, with the fees and wages of 20 marks per annum with the ancient advantages and pei of that office. His name occurs as a witness in 1492,503 and also with Robert Ogle in a charter given in the Newminster Abbey Cartulary, 7 Henry VTI. Collins says that Polydore, Virgil and other historians called one of the Lords Ogle, George; and that lie marched with the rest of the northern barons under the earl of Surrey against the Scot.s in 9 Henry VII., and this appears to be the date when a force of 20,000 was assembled under the earl of Surrey, including Lord Ogle, and advanced against the Scots who were besieging Norham, but that they retired on the approach of the English. who afterwards took Coldstream, Hutton Hall, Edrington. Foulden and Ayton. Collins however, gives the date four years later, and so does Hall, who says that in 13 Henry VII., Ralph, earl of Westmoreland. George, Lord Loimley, George. Lord Ogle, Sir William Gascoigne, etc., under the earl of Surrey, relieved Norham besieged by the Scots, but it seems that in this year a truce was concluded with the Scotch which was nearly broken by an accidental quarrel between some Scots and English of the garrison of Norham, when several of the former were killed. Hodgson linde however, gives 1497 as the date of the relief of Norham. On the 1st of March, 1199, bishop Fox granted this Lord Ogle a pardon on entering the manor of Netherton.
