  • VIII. Robert Wentworth, who married Emma, daughter and heir of William Woodhouse, (Wodehouse, in old manuscripts,) of Woodhouse (a manor or lordship contiguous to Wentworth), and thus acquiring that estate the family was afterwards designated as Wentworth of Wentworth-Woodhouse.* He was living in the reign of Henry III. and Edward I.: say as late as 1275, and was succeeded by his son and heir--

    • IX. William Wentworth, of Wentworth-Woodhouse, who married Beatrice, daughter of Gilbert Thakel, of Yorkshire, and died 2 Edward II., 1308-9, having had issue, two sons, viz: —
      • 1. William, of whom hereafter, and
      • 2. Richard, who became Prebendary of St. Paul's, and in 1338 was elevated to the Bishopric of London, and in the same year, being in the reign of Edward III., was made Lord High Chancellor of England. This is the first recorded instance of the official dignities that were afterwards common enough in the family. So far as the State was concerned, his position was second only to that of the King himself; and the Bishopric of London, at that time holding even higher rank that it does now, was exceeded only by the Archbishoprics of Canterbury and York. Bishop and Chancellor Wentworth did not, however, long enjoy his dignities, as he died in 1339, the year succeeding his elevation. The line was continues through his elder brother—
      • X. William Wentworth, of Wentworth-Woodhouse, who was married, first, in 1288, to Dionysia, daughter of Peter de Rotherfield, by whom he had only two sons, viz:—
        • 1. William, of whom hereafter, and
        • 2. John, who married Alice, daughter of heir of John Bissett, Esq., of North Elmsall, in Yorkshire, and thus acquired that important estate. He died, however, without at least surviving issue, and bequeathed that estate to his nephew John, the younger son of his elder brother William of whom hereafter. Their mother Dionysia died shortly after the birth of her younger son John, and their father William married, secondly, Lucy daughter of Sir Adam Newmarch, but had no issue by her; and himself died in 1295, in the lifetime of his father, and only seven years after his first marriage. On his father's death, in 1308-9, the family estate, reverted to his eldest son-- _______________________
