Some of the families to whom these shields belong were certainly connected by alliance. The renowned Sir Guy de BRYAN, elected K.G. 1370 and summoned as a Baron to Parliament from 1350 to his death in 1390,* married for his second wife the lady Elizabeth MONTACUTE, daughter of William first Earl of Salisbury. On his well-known monument in the abbey church of Tewkesbury the arms of Bryan and Montacute are impaled. By the Lady Elizabeth he had a daughter, Margaret, the wife of Sir John Erlegh, who in 40 Edw. III. attended the Black Prince in his campaign in Spain, and was present in the battle of Naziers. Sir John Erlegh, his son, married Isabel daughter of Sir John Paveley,† and left one daughter, Margaret, his heiress, who was married first to Sir John de St. Maur; 2. to Sir Walter Sondes; and 3. to Sir William CHEYNEY. She died 21 Hen. VI.
