""VIII. Peter de Arderne has been proved to have been surviving son and heir of Sir John Arderne in 1319, by the direct evidence of his father's Inquisition post mortem. Eighteen years before this, in Feb. 5 Edward III, 1331, Avhen he would be about six years old, he is named in his marriage covenant, an indenture between Mons. John de Arderne et Adam de Bredbury et Cccile sa feme et Piers le filz de dit Mons. John et Cecile sa feme. By this deed Adam de Bredbury enfeoffs William de Stokeport, Chaplain, with half his manor of Romilegh and seven parts of Bredbury, to himself and the heirs male of his body, with remainder to Piers and CeciHa, and the heirs of their bodies, with other rent-charges on Bredbury, Pvomilegh, and lands in Macclesfield. John de Arderne also settles a rent-charge of forty marks from his manor of Aldford on the same parties.

This is followed by a fine at Chester before William de Clynton (Just. Cest. 1331-37) and other deeds between the Trustee and the Grantor.^

The Bredbury estate, obtained by this maiTiage, included HakdeV, a subsequent principal seat of this family, and Altani.ey was afterwards recovered. Randle Holmes gives an imperfect date of the claim and successful suit, which may be corrected fron\ 2 to 28 or 29 Edward III. It took place on a Thursday next after Trinity, the presiding Justice being Bartholomew Burghersh, whose predecessor, Hillary, retired in August, 27 Edward III.- The two dates given fill up the period from this time to 30 Eduardlll, when Peter de Arderne must have been in possession, since his payment of arrears of quitrent to Vale lloyal, as " Lord of Alvandclegh", in 33 Edward III, included that year.

The plea was against Thomas de Bulkeley, most probably Trustee and father-in-law of Thomas Arderne, the Ulegitimate brother of the plaintiff Peter de Arderne who claimed the manor as settled by Sir John de Arderne on John his son, and Alice daughter of Hugh Venablcs, and the heirs of their bodies, himself being son and heir of that John, son of John and xUice, and the decision was in his favour.^ ""

""The last deed of Peter de Arderne that has occurred, is a grant of the manor of Alvandelegh in trust to John de Scolhall, 2 Jan., 42 Edward III. ""

""IX. Hugh Arderxe of Hakden and Alvanley, erroneously called son of Sir John de Arderne in the Visitation of 1566, succeeded as son of Piers and Cecilia, and is expressly so styled in a precept to Maud, wife of Sir "William Camngton, respecting the manor of Bothomes,- somewhat later than 47 Edward III, in which year Sir William was living. He was contracted husband of Agnes, daughter of Robert de Hulme, 29 Edward HI, and was husband of Cecilia, daughter of Palph Hyde, 2 Richard II, and survived in 6 Henry V, when he granted his lands in Alvanley to his sur%-iving son, Ralph Ardern, and his wife Catherine,' having also had issue. Peter, Ralph, and John. ""
