  • Thomas Bardolf, 5th Baron Bardolf (died 19 February 1408) was a baron in the Peerage of England, Lord of Wormegay, Norfolk, of Shelford and Stoke Bardolph in Nottinghamshire, Hallaton (Hallughton), Leicestershire, and others, and was "a person of especial eminence in his time".[1]
  • He was an armiger, his Arms being: Azure, three cinquefoils, or. A supporter of the rebellion of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland against King Henry IV after the death of Percy's son Harry Hotspur, he died from wounds received at the Battle of Bramham Moor.
  • The eldest son of William 4th Lord Bardolf, Knight, of Wormegay, Thomas Bardolf de Wormegay, 5th Baron Bardolf, was summoned to parliament from 12 September 1390 to 25 August 1404.
  • He took part with Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, and others, in their insurrection against king Henry IV, and being pursued by the Royal Army in great force, was obliged to flee to France. But about three years after returning to England, he resumed his alliance with the said Earl of Northumberland, Thomas, Earl Marshall & Earl of Nottingham, and Richard le Scrope, Archbishop of York only to be defeated again in Yorkshire by John of Lancaster and the Earl of Westmorland. The king ordered the execution of the Earl Marshall and Scrope who were subsequently beheaded at York.
  • Finally, in 1408, at the Battle of Bramham Moor, they suffered a total defeat, Northumberland was slain, and Lord Bardolf "so much hurt", that he died of his wounds soon after.
  • Bardolf had married Avicia, daughter of Ralph de Cromwell, 2nd Lord Cromwell, and left two daughters, Anne and Joan, his co-heirs. However, his honours and lands had already been forfeited to the Crown by attainder.
  • William Dugdale states that "Lord Bardolf's remains were quartered, and the quarters disposed of by being placed above the gates of London, York, Lenne [possibly King's Lynn?], 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."
  • The estates were divided between Thomas Beaufort, 1st Duke of Exeter (the king's half-brother), Sir George de Dunbar, Knight, and the Queen; but the latter's proportion, upon the petition of Sir William Clifford, knt.,[2] and his wife, Anne, and Sir William Phelip and his wife, Joan, to the king, was granted in reversion, after the Queen's decease, to those husband's of the attainted nobleman.
  • Also, on "27 April 1407. The King to the sheriff of Lincoln. Referring to the late plea in Chancery between Amicia (sic) wife of Thomas, late lord of Bardolf, and George de Dunbarre regarding certain lands in Ruskynton forfeited by Thomas, which had been granted by the King to George, with the manor of Calthorpe, the half of Ancastre (and many others), wherein it was adjudged that Rusynton should be excepted from the grant and restored to her with the rents, etc., from 27 November 1405, drawn by George, - the King orders him to restore the same to Amicia. Westminster. [Close, 9 Henry IV. m.17.]".[3]

  • William Phelip, 6th Baron Bardolf, KG (died 6 June 1441)[1] was Treasurer of the King's Household and Royal Chamberlain.
  • Sir William Phelip was son of Sir John Phelip of Dennington, Suffolk. He is described as being a valiant soldier in the wars in France during the reign of Henry V. He became Treasurer of the King's Household, and on the King's decease had the chief conduct of his funeral. He is said to have been created Lord Bardolf by Letters Patent of Henry VI, but it does not appear that he ever had a summons to parliament, although he bore that title. He was a Knight of the Garter, and Chamberlain to King Henry VI.[2]
  • By Letters Patent dated 23 October 1440, Sir William Phelip held the lordship of Horstead Manor.[3]
  • He married Joan, daughter and co-heir of the attainted Thomas Bardolf, 5th Lord Bardolf, and it was by this route that he acquired his peerage. Lord Bardolf's estates had been divided between Thomas Beaufort, 1st Duke of Exeter, the King's half-brother, Sir George Dunbar, and the Queen, but the latter's proportion, upon the petition of Sir William de Clifford,[4] and his wife Anne (née Bardolf) and Sir William Phelip and his wife Joan (née) Bardolf), to the King, was granted in reversion, after the Queen's decease, to those representatives of the attainted nobleman.[5]
  • The Norfolk Visitations mention the will, dated 1 September 1438, of William Phelipp, Lord Bardolf, in which John Heydon, esquire, was appointed one of the executors.[6]
  • His wife died before 1447, as in that year the executors of Joan, Lady Bardolf, sold her property of Erpingham manor, in St. Martin's at the Palace, at Norwich, to William Calthorpe.
  • Lord Bardolf left a daughter, Elizabeth Phelip, who married John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont, the first Viscount to be created in England. He was killed at the Battle of Northampton (1460).[7]

  • BARDOLF or BARDOLPH, THOMAS, fifth BARON BARDOLF (1368-1408), born at Birling, near Cuckmere Haven, Sussex, on 22 Dec. 1368, was son and heir of William, fourth baron Bardolf, by his wife Agnes, daughter of Michael, second baron Poynings [q. v.] Her sister Mary married Sir Arnold Savage [q. v.], the well-known speaker of the House of Commons. The family had long been settled at Wormegay in Norfolk, though the first baron Bardolf by writ was son of William Bardolf [q. v.], one of the baronial leaders under Simon de Montfort, and died in September 1304. William, the fourth baron, was Hugh's great-grandson, was born about 1349, served in the wars in France and Ireland, and died before 29 Jan. 1385-6. His will, dated 12 Sept. 1384, is printed in the 'Testamenta Vetusta,' i, 116. His younger son, Sir William Bardolf, unlike his brother Thomas, remained faithful to Henry IV, served under the Duke of Burgundy in 1411, and died on 25 July 1423. His widow married Sir Thomas Mortimer (d. 1402), an adherent of the Duke of Gloucester, who had been attainted in 1397, and died on 12 June 1403,
  • https://archive.org/stream/dictionaryofnati01leesuoft#page/124/mode...
  • Thomas Bardolf succeeded his father as fifth baron in 1386. He had married, before 8 July 1382, Amicia, daughter of Ralph, second baron Cromwell, and aunt of Ralph, fourth baron Cromwell [q. v.], and had on 9 May 1383 been enfeoffed by his father of the manor of Reskington. His mother in her will requested Henry Percy, first earl of Northumberland [q. v.], to superintend the arrangements for her funeral, and Bardolf's daughter Anne married Sir William Clifford, Northumberland's right-hand man. Bardolf therefore naturally followed the political lead of the Percies during Richard II's reign. On 5 April 1399 he received letters of protection on going to Ireland with the king (RYMER, viii. 79), but there is little doubt that he, like Northumberland, joined Henry of Lancaster when he landed in Yorkshire in the following July, and from the beginning of Henry IV's reign he was an active member of the privy council (NICOLAS, Ordinances, &c. i. 106 sqq.) On 9 Feb. 1400 he offered to assist Henry against the French or the Scots 'without wages or reward,' and accompanied the king on his invasion of Scotland in the following August.
  • The loyalty of the Percies to Henry IV was, however, shortlived , and Bardolf appears to have been implicated to some extent in Hotspur's rebellion of 1403. He is said to have been convicted of treason and pardoned (Chron., ed. Giles, p. 42), but even Mr. Wylie is unable to throw light on this obscure affair. In any case Bardolf seems to have been fully restored to favour, and continued a regular attendant at the privy council until the beginning of 1405. Secretly, however, he was privy to the plots formed in the winter of 1404-5. Even at the council board he had shown a refractory disposition in opposing grants and other measures, and when, in May 1405, Henry summoned him to Worcester to serve against the Welsh, Bardolf disobeyed the order and made his way to Northumberland. On 12 June his property was declared confiscated, and on the 19th the peers found that he had committed treason, but suggested that a proclamation should be made ordering him to appear within fifteen days of Midsummer, or else to be condemned by default. Instead of appearing at York on 10 Aug., the date fixed, Bardolf, with Northumberland, fled to Scotland. Some of his lands were granted to Prince John, afterwards Duke of Bedford, and others to Henry and Thomas Beaufort.
  • Soon afterwards the Scots proposed to surrender Northumberland and Bardolf in exchange for the Earl of Douglas, who had been captured by the English at Homildon Hill ; but the two peers escaped to Wales. To Bardolf is ascribed the famous tripartite treaty dividing England and Wales between Owen Glendower [q. v.], Sir Edmund Mortimer (1376-1409 ?) [q. v.], and the Earl of Northumberland, which was now solemnly agreed to. During the spring of 1406 Northumberland and Bardolf remained in Wales, giving what help they could to Owen Glendower, but in July they sought safer refuge at Paris. There they represented themselves as the supporters, not of the pseudo Richard, but of the young Earl of March (RAMSAY, i. 112, 113). They failed, however, to obtain any material support, were equally unsuccessful in Flanders, and finally returned to Scotland. They had still some secret supporters in the north of England, where the prevalent disorder seemed to offer some faint hopes of success. In January 1407-8 they crossed the Tweed, and advanced to Thirsk, where they issued a manifesto. But their following was small, and on 19 Feb. they were defeated by Sir Thomas Rokeby [q. v.] at Bramham Moor. Northumberland was killed, and Bardolf, who was captured, died of his wounds the same night. His body was quartered, and parts of it sent to London, Lynn, Shrewsbury, and York, the head being exhibited at Lincoln (English Chron. ed. Davies, p. 34). Lord Bardolf figures prominently in Shakespeare's 'Henry IV, part ii. ;' the other Bardolf, Pistol's friend, who appears in both parts, and also in 'Henry V,' seems to be entirely imaginary.
  • By his wife, who died on 1 July 1421, Bardolf had issue two daughters : Anne, who married first Sir William Clifford, and secondly Sir Reginald Cobham ; and Joan (1390-1447), who married Sir William Phelip (1383-1441) of Bennington, Suffolk, and Erpingham, Norfolk [cf. art. ERPINGHAM, SIR THOMAS]. He served at Agincourt, was captain of Harfleur 1421-1422, treasurer of the household to Henry V, and chamberlain to Henry VI, and on 13 Nov. 1437 was created Baron Bardolf; on his death in 1441 the peerage became extinct.
  • [Full details of Bardolfs life, with ample references to the original authorities, are given in Wylie's Hist, of Henry IV and Ramsay's Lancaster and York. The chief are Ordinances of the Privy Council, ed. Nicolas; Rotuli Parl.; Rymer's Fœdera, vol. viii. ; Cal. Rot. Pat. ; Cal. Rot. Claus. ; Sussex Archæol.

  • Baron Bardolf or Bardolph was a title in the Peerage of England.
  • The title was created when Sir Hugh Bardolf of Wormegay received a writ of summons to Parliament on 6 February 1299. After his death the barony passed from father to son until 4 December 1406, when the fifth Baron was declared by Parliament to be a traitor, and the title was forfeited.
  • A delicious ancient recipe for Malepigernout or Dillegrout, a spiced chicken porridge, was historically made by the current Lord of the Manor of Addington to be served upon the Coronation of the Monarch of England. .... etc.
  • Barons Bardolf (1299)
  • Hugh Bardolf, 1st Baron Bardolf (c. 29 September 1259 – September 1304). Married Isabel Aguillon through which the "Mess of Gyron" sergeantry was inherited.
  • Thomas Bardolf, 2nd Baron Bardolf (4 October 1282 – 11 December 1357)
  • John Bardolf, 3rd Baron Bardolf (13 January 1312 – July/August 1363)
  • William Bardolf, 4th Baron Bardolf and 3rd Baron Damory (21 October 1349 – 29 January 1386)
  • Thomas Bardolf, 5th Baron Bardolf (22 December 1369 – 19 February 1408, of wounds received at the Battle of Bramham Moor)
  • On 19 July 1408 the reversion of the manor of Wormegay and others was granted to the fifth baron's two daughters and co-heiresses, Anne and Joan, and their husbands. The elder sister Anne was married to Sir William Clifford, and later to Reynold Lord Cobham, and died without issue on 6 November 1453. The younger sister Joan was married to Sir William Phelip, who after 1437 was sometimes styled Lord Bardolf and by whom she had an only daughter Elizabeth, and died 12 March 1447. Elizabeth had married John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont and died before 30 October 1441. Their son William Beaumont was styled Lord Bardolf as early as 1448, though he did not become the sole representative of the fifth baron until the death of his great-aunt Anne Lady Cobham in 1453. He succeeded as 2nd Viscount Beaumont in 1460.
  • William Beaumont, Viscount Beaumont and (but for the forfeiture) Baron Bardolf died without issue on 19 December 1507. His co-heirs were his two great-nephews, descended from his only sister Joan (died 5 August 1466) by her first husband John Lovel, 8th Baron Lovel: Sir Brian Stapleton (died 2 April 1550), son of Sir Brian Stapleton by his wife Joan, elder daughter of Joan Lady Lovel; and Sir John Norreys (died 1564), son of Sir Edward Norreys by his wife Frideswide, younger daughter of Joan Lady Lovel. The abeyance of the barony of Beaumont was terminated in favour of the senior co-heir in 1840, and the junior co-heir has since 1572 been Baron Norreys of Rycote. In 1910 the co-heirs of the forfeited barony of Bardolf were the two daughters of Miles Stapleton, 10th Baron Beaumont (Mona Josephine Tempest Stapleton, 11th Baroness Beaumont and Ivy Mary Stapleton, both of whom left issue) and Montagu Bertie, 7th Earl of Abingdon.

    • Chief steward of the duchy of Lancaster, south parts 12 May 1437-d.5
  • William Phelip the elder, the father of this shire knight, owned a manor in Dennington near Framlingham, and probably also held ‘Brakle’, ‘Phelippes’ and Brundish, properties which at the time of the younger William’s death had a total annual value of £25. The father was a tenant at Little Glemham of William de Ufford, earl of Suffolk (d.1382), whom he served as bailiff of Framlingham and also as a feoffee and executor, receiving from the earl at his death a life annuity of £10 in compensation for the expected loss of the bailiffship. He died in 1407 and his widow Juliana in 1414, both being buried in Dennington church.6 But it was not young Phelip’s father, who was never of more than local importance, but rather his maternal uncle, Sir Thomas Erpingham, who most influenced the course of his career, as well as that of his younger brother, John. Erpingham had shared Henry of Bolingbroke’s exile in 1398-9, and after Henry’s accession to the throne he reaped substantial rewards for his friendship, including immediate appointment as constable of Dover castle and warden of the Cinque Ports. It was perhaps the younger William Phelip who stood surety for Sir Thomas in December 1399 when he secured a valuable wardship at the Exchequer, for within a month he had become a ‘King’s esquire’, sharing with one of his fellows an annuity of £40 and custody of the alien priory of Chepstow, the latter being for the duration of the war with France. He continued to wear the livery of a member of the King’s household until December 1406 or later, no doubt all the while enjoying special favour as Erpingham’s nephew, for Sir Thomas was successively chamberlain and steward there. .... etc.
  • It was no doubt with Erpingham’s help, and with the full approval of Henry IV, that Phelip came to make the important marriage which was eventually to give him territorial standing in several counties. By the summer of 1408 he had secured the hand of one of the daughters and coheirs of Thomas, late Lord Bardolf, whose estates had been forfeited three years earlier for rebellion in support of the earl of Northumberland. The King had granted the confiscated honour of Wormegay to his own half-brother, Sir Thomas Beaufort, and other Bardolf lands had gone to Sir George Dunbar, Sir William Bardolf (Lord Bardolf’s brother) and the queen. Then, too, Lord Bardolf’s widow held certain properties in dower. Yet over the years Phelip and his wife, Joan, in association with her elder sister Anne (wife firstly of Sir William Clifford, who died in 1418, and then of Sir Reynold Cobham of Sterborough), gradually secured possession of all of the Bardolf estates. It was a long process: in 1408 they paid 200 marks to recover the lands held by Dunbar, along with the reversion of the properties held by Sir William Bardolf; and they brought suits in Chancery against Queen Joan and in opposition to Lady Bardolf’s claims to jointure, thereby succeeding in obtaining the reversion of the manors held by the former, but being formally required a few years later not to trouble Lady Bardolf further. In 1413 judgement in another suit won them Hallaton (Leicestershire) from the queen. Lady Bardolf died in 1421, followed by her brother-in-law two years later, but seisin of Queen Joan’s holdings was not to be secured until as late as 1439, after her death. By 1438 it was clear that Phelip’s sister-in-law, Anne, would have no issue and, accordingly, the Phelips were assured of the reversion of her moiety of the estates. Thus, eventually, the whole Bardolf inheritance fell to Sir William and his heirs.9 He died in possession of holdings in ten counties, conservatively valued at £400 a year.
  • .... Phelip died on 6 June 1441, a week after making a codicil.21 Elizabeth, Viscountess Beaumont, his daughter and heir, died shortly afterwards, as did also Henry Beaumont, his elder grandson, so the combined estates of Phelip, Erpingham and Bardolf all passed to his younger grandson, William, later Viscount Beaumont. Phelip’s widow, Joan, Lady Bardolf, made a will on 7 Sept. 1446 and another on 11 Mar. 1447, the day before her death. She was buried with her husband, in a sumptuous tomb chest bearing richly painted and gilded alabaster effigies.22
