The perils in being a knight in Henry VIII time

Tudor Cornwall

AL Rowse 1969 reprint of 1941 edition.

An interesting little note. AL Rowse resided in the Hext house at Trenarran in Cornwall for a while.

Sir Thomas Pomeroy was involved in the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1549, although he is considered a lightweight and his part something of a schoolboy prank. Whilst involved in the Rebellion he and his brother Hugh of Tregony where buying up the lands of small chantries all over Cornwall through the Court of Augmentations [Pat. Rolls Edward VI] One wonders what happened to these???

Ultimately he surrendered to Lord Russell. This was done secretly, the condition of his pardon being that he betrayed Arundel, Underhill and other leaders and renounced his popish ways.

Many of the ringleaders were hung drawn and quartered, Arundel amongst them dying at Tyburn in 1550.

Sir Thomas Pomeroy sold Berry Pomeroy and his lands in Totnes

in 1548 to Edward Seymour the Duke of Somerset Lord Protector.

Curiously his son in law Peter or Piers Edgecombe of Cotehele and Mount Edgecombe , whose wife was Joan or Johanne Pomeroy daughter

of the afrementioned Sir Thomas, was involved a mining enterprise in which he tried to get the local landed gentry to invest. The venture failed and he lost £4000 .

I wonder if Sir Thomas was involved in his son in law’s failed mining scheme.

NOTE- £4000 was a huge amount of money . when a knights incombe might be around £150 a year

Carew, writing in 1602, stated 'Copper is found in sundrie places,

but to what gain to the searchers I have not been curious to enquire

nor they hasty to reveal'.

Tin continued to be more important for another two centuries however.

1559 Sir Richard Edgecombe sold Totnes Castle To Edward Seymour

The victors did well out of the Rebellion. Sir Gawen Carew gained all Humphrey Arundel's lands the manor of Calwodley the Castle of Cadbury and Mere in Devon, the income from which was £53.9s.10d a year, In Cornwall he gained Cassacawen, Helcett, Hell and other manors with an income of £55.8s.10d a year. 3 years later he sold his Cornish manors and estates

Sir Peter Carew got all of Winslades lands in Devon with a manor at Buckland Brewer with an income of £73.14s.10d a year. He was prevented from getting Winslades Cornish estates by a legal settlement on Winslades widow.

Lord Russell did best of all of them. He was rewarded with the  earldom of Bedford, a grant to vast lands, spread over seven counties and   worth £300 a year. Included in his gains was Thorney Abbey, the manor of   Woburn, including Chulmliegh and Werrington in Devon and Boconnoc the great   manor in Cornwall, both having belonged to the Courtenay

Rowse records that three years later Russell made further requests for large gifts of properties, including the manor of Boynton the barton (home farm) of Bradridge which had belonged to Launceston, having already gained the favourite manors of the bishops near Exeter at Broad Clyst and Bishops Tawton.

Russell started out as a promising young man of no particular parentage, ended up founding a noble protestant house and was the equivalent of being a millionaire. His career and the lot of the simple catholic peasants over whom he triumphed brings forth this comment.

? Unto every one that hath shall be given but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath?

It holds true even today!

Ralph de Pomeroy

Carey and Panson. An early writ addressed to Bishop William Warelwust William Fitz John and Geoffrey de Furnellis enjoining the restitution of demesne lands of the abbey of Tavistock , alienated without royal licence . The manor of Carey does not appear in Domesday but it may have been included in Panestan. [St Giles on the Heath]

After the death of William I this manor and lands seems to have come into the possession of Ralph de P by irregular means, who later persuaded one Rulad Adobed to exchange it for 3 other manors. Ruald subsequently (in 1103 )became a monk at St Nicholas Priory in Exeter and his land passed to the king or his heirs. He took Poughill into the Priory, from whence it devolved to the Abbey of Tavistock.

The recorders of the Domesday Book recorded this transaction in such a way as to indicate they regarded this as a smart move by Ralph

John Moore of Moorehayes Cullumpton Devon married Elizabeth Clivedon. Son Maurice Moore, b 1459 d 1500 married Cicely Boneville. Children were Humphrey, Christopher, Elizabeth and Ellen who married Bartholomew Fortescue

6 Anne Fortescue = John Raleigh Of Ford
7 Richard Fortescue = Joan Moreton
8 Lewis Fortescue Of Filleigh = Wilmot Gifford
Humphrey Moore married Agnes Pollard.

Children were John, Henry, James, Roger, George, Joan, Jane, and Ellen.

Their son Sir John Moore of Moorehayes married Katherine Pomeroy daughter of Sir Thomas Pomeroy and Joan Edgecombe

Ellen MOORE(1) was born about 1490 in Collumpton, Devonshire, England. Parents: Maurice MOORE and Agnes POLLARD.

She was married to Bartholomew FORTESCUE. Children were: Gertrude FORTESCUE, Richard FORTESCUE, Mary FORTESCUE, Ellen FORTESCUE, Elizabeth FORTESCUE, Anne FORTESCUE, Lewis FORTESCUE.
