Notes

From “Peerage of England. ...” By Arthur Collins, Sir Egerton Brydges. Page 532. GoogleBooks

Sir John Egerton, of Egerton, Knt. who, with Sir Hugh Venables, Sir Thomas Dutton, Sir Richard Molineux, Sir William Troutbeck, Sir John Legh, Sir John Done, and many others of the knights and chief gentlemen of Cheshire, was slain at the memorable battle fought on Bloore-Heath, in Staffordshire, September 23d, 1459, between the Lord Audley, General for King Henry VI. and Richard Nevile, Earl of Salisbury, on the side of Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York.
Drayton (as Lysons well observes), strongly depicts in his Poly-Albion (Song XXII.) the division of the Cheshire gentry in this memorable battle, by supposing that those brave Knights, who are recorded to have been left dead on the field, fell each by the hands of a relative:

"There Dutton Dutton kills; a Done doth kill a Done;
A Booth a Booth; and Leigh by Leigh is overthrown;
A Venables against a Venables doth stand;
And Troutbeck nghteth with a Troutbeck hand to band;
There Molineux doth make a Molineux to die;
And Egerton the strength of Egerton doth try.
Oh! Cheshire! wert thou mad of thine own native gore;
So much until this day thou never shed'st before!
Above two thousand men upon the earth were thrown,
Of whom the greatest part were naturally thine own."
