As the eldestbrother, Richard VII, died before 1296, and the secondbrother, the Archbishop of York, before 1316, there is nothingunreasonable in Bartholomew being a third brother andsurviving his brothers by 29 and 9 years respectively,whereas had he been the uncle such a long survivorshipwould be almost incredible. 4 (?cr^ $ ?

Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries. 25 It must also be remembered that Henry, when presentingto Bideford in 1324, is described as son and heir ofBartholomew. Had Bartholomew belonged to a genera-tion before Richard VII, and been a unique specimen oflongevity, a presentation in 1324 would have been more likelyto be made by Bartholomews grandson than by his son. In reckoning seven Richards, I had lost sight of the sonof Richard VII. He was under age in 1296, and must havebeen dead before 1303 when his uncle William was inpossession. „ , , ^ .Oswald T.
