Agincourt<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

From a website \u201cThe soldier in Medieval England\u201d comes the information that five \u201cBrettons\u201d are recorded as being either men at arms or archers from 1373 to 1443 and that 2 of them served under king Henry V at Agincourt. There is no indication as to whether any of them are from our family but coincidences abound. One of the commanders was William Neville and the Neville family were related by marriage to the Brettons in the 1200\u2019s. Additionally one of this related Neville family (Margaret) married Thomas Beaufort the fourth son of John O\u2019Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and Thomas\u2019s brother, John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, was the Commander of Roger Bretton, an archer, in an expeditionary force in France in 1443.<\/span><\/p>\n

John de Bretton – Quer. From \u201cFeet of Fines for County of York 17 Edward II\u201d (1324) No. 562<\/b><\/p>\n

John de Bretton (Quer) and Adam Ingrels and Joan, his wife, deforciants of a messuage, 100 acres of land, 6 acres of meadow, and 20 acres of wood in Emmerley (Emley) covenant John\u2019s rights. Adam and Joan have rendered in court. John and his heirs to hold of the chiefs, Lords etc Adam for himself and his heirs to warrent for 20 marks of silver (CP25\/1\/271\/99,No. 16) NOTE A \u201cquerent\u201d is the person to whom the land etc was being conveyed and a \u201cdeforciant\u201d is the person conveying the land. NOTE This is the first we have learned about the Brettons having land in Emley. Previously we have only known about land and messuages in Bretton and Dewsbury \u201cand elsewhere in Yorkshire\u201d. If this, as it appears, is in addition to what we already knew about then the Brettons in the 1300\u2019s must have had more land than they had in the 1500\/1600\u2019s based on the information available after John Bretton\u2019s martyrdom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
