Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) one of the most successful English kings of medieval times. His fifty-year reign began when his father, Edward II of England, was deposed on 25 January 1327, and lasted until 1377. Among his immediate predecessors, only Henry III ruled as long, and it would be over 400 years before another monarch would occupy the throne for that duration. Edward's reign was marked by an expansion of English territory through wars in Scotland and France. Edward's parentage and his prodigious offspring provided the basis for two lengthy and significant events in European and British history, the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of the Roses,

.

John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster (June 24, 1340 – February 3, 1399) was the third surviving son of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault. He gained his name "John of Gaunt" because he was born at Ghent in 1340. The fabulously wealthy Gaunt exercised tremendous influence over the throne during the minority reign of his nephew, Richard II, and during the ensuing periods of political strife, but took care not to be openly associated with opponents of the King.

John of Gaunt's legitimate male heirs, the Lancasters, included Kings Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI. John of Gaunt's illegitimate descendants, the Beauforts, later married into the House of Tudor, which ascended to the throne in the person of Henry VII. In addition, Gaunt's legitimate descendants included his daughters Philippa of Lancaster, Queen consort of John I of Portugal and mother of King Edward of Portugal, Elizabeth, Duchess of Exeter, the mother of John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter, and Katherine of Lancaster, Queen consort of Henry III of Castile, a grand-daughter of Peter I of Castile and the mother of John II of Castile.

When John of Gaunt died in 1399, his estates were declared forfeit to the crown, as Richard II had exiled John's less diplomatic heir, Henry Bolingbroke, in 1398. Bolingbroke returned and deposed the unpopular Richard, to reign as King Henry IV of England (1399–1413), the first of the descendants of John of Gaunt to hold the throne of England. In the meantime, John of Gaunt had fathered four children by a mistress, Katherine Swynford (whose sister married Geoffrey Chaucer). Constanza died in 1394. He married Katherine in 1396 or 1397, and their children, the Beauforts, were 'legitimised' but barred from inheriting the throne. From the eldest son, John, came a granddaughter, Margaret Beaufort, whose son, later King Henry VII of England, would nevertheless claim the throne

Lady Joan Beaufort, 1379-1440. Married (2) Ralph Neville, Lord of Raby, 1st Earl of Westmorland, Earl Marshal, 1364-1425. When Ralph Neville died in 1425, his lands and titles should, by law of rights, have passed on to his eldest surviving son from his first marriage, another Ralph Neville. Instead, while the title of Earl of Westmorland and several manors were passed to Ralph, the bulk of his rich estate went to his wife, Joan Beaufort. Although this may have been done to ensure that his widow was well provided for; by doing this, Ralph essentially split his family into two, and the result was years of bitter conflict between Joan and her step-children, who fiercely contested her acquisition of their father's lands. Joan however, with her royal blood and connections, was far too powerful to be called to account, and the senior branch of the Nevilles received little redress for their grievances. Inevitably, when Joan died, the lands would be inherited by her own children.

Joan died on 13 November 1440 at Howden in Yorkshire. Rather than be buried with her husband Ralph (who was buried with his first wife) she was entombed next to her mother in the magnificent sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral. Joan's is the smaller of the two tombs; both were decorated with brass plates — full-length representations of them on the tops, and small shields bearing coats of arms around the sides — but those were damaged or destroyed in 1644 during the English Civil War. A 1640 drawing of them survives, showing what the tombs looked like when they were intact, and side-by-side instead of end-to-end, as they are now.

Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury (1400 – December 31, 1460) was a Yorkist leader during the early parts of the Wars of the Roses.

He was the son of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, by his second wife, Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmoreland. His maternal grandparents were John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster and Katherine Swynford.Despite being a younger son, Richard was able to make a great marriage, to Alice Montagu, Countess of Salisbury, probably due to his royal descent on his mother's side.1407 1462. After his marriage (1420) Salisbury was given high posts in the north of England, including Warden of the Western March of Scotland 1420 - 1435. He was also Constable at the coronation of his cousin Henry VI.
However Salisbury turned to the cause of Richard, Duke of York, who made him Lord Chancellor in 1455. When King Henry tried to assert his independence and dismiss Richard as Protector, Salisbury joined him in fighting at the First Battle of St Albans, claiming that he was acting in self-defence. After the Battle of Blore Heath, in which he was notably successful, Salisbury escaped to Calais, having been specifically excluded from a royal pardon. He was beheaded the day after the Battle of Wakefield.His alabaster effigy is in Burghfield Church in Berkshire. He was buried first at Pontefract, but his son transferred his body to the family mausoleum at Bisham Abbey and erected this effigy. It was brought to Burghfield after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The effigy of a lady alongside him wears a headdress which is not thought to be of the right date to be his wife, but she may be one of the earlier Countesses of Salisbury buried at Bisham. Alice Montagu was born in 1407, the daughter and only legitimate child, of Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury and Eleanor Holland, who was the daughter of Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent.In 1420 she married Richard Neville, who became Earl of Salisbury on the death of his father-in-law in 1428. At the same time Alice became Countess of Salisbury.The main home of the family was at Bisham Manor in Berkshire although their lands lay chiefly around Christchurch in Hampshire and Wiltshire.She died some time before 9 December 1462 and was buried in the Montacute Mausoleum at Bisham Abbey.She had ten children:

Katherine Neville, 1442 - 1503, . Married (1) William Bonville, 6th Lord Harington (1443-1460). of Salisbury buried at Bisham. William Bonville fought in the battle of Wakefield 31 december 1460 was killed in action9

Cecilia Bonville, 1460-1529, Baroness Bonville and Harington. Married (1) Thomas Grey,.
Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset KG (1457–September 20, 1501), known as Lord Ferrers de Groby between 1461 and 1471, and the Earl of Huntingdon between 1471 and 1475, was the eldest son of Elizabeth Woodville and consequently a stepson of Edward IV of Englandhomas was Elizabeth's son by her first marriage, to Sir John Grey. He was created Earl of Huntingdon in 1471 but resigned this peerage in 1475, when he was created Marquess of Dorset. He was summoned to Parliament on November 15, 1482. In January 1482/3 on the death of his grandmother Elizabeth, he became Lord Ferrers of Groby. He joined the Duke of Buckingham's 1483 rebellion against Richard III. When the rebellion failed he fled to Brittany to join Henry Tudor, the future Henry VII.
Thomas first married Anne Holland, only daughter of Anne of York, dowager Duchess of Exeter and sister of Edward IV. After she died young without issue he married Cecily Bonville, Baroness Harington and Bonville, a niece of Richard Neville Earl of Warwick and stepdaughter of William Hastings, Edward IV's close associate. By the latter marriage Lady Jane Grey was his great-grand-daughter.He is depicted in William Shakespeare’s play Richard III.

Sir Edward King, 1726-1797, 1st Earl of Kingston. Married Jane Caulfeild.
Earl of Kingston is a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1768 for Sir Edward King, 5th Baronet, of Boyle Abbey. He had already been created Baron Kingston in 1764 and Viscount Kingston in 1766, also in the Peerage of Ireland. The Baronetcy, of Boyle Abbey in the County of Roscommon, had been created in the Baronetage of Ireland in 1682 for his grandfather Robert King. The latter was the younger brother of John King, 1st Baron Kingston (a title which became extinct in 1761). Sir Robert's grandson, Sir Robert King, 4th Baronet, of Boyle Abbey, was created Baron Kingsborough in the Peerage of Ireland in 1748. However, this title became extinct on his death. He was succeeded in the Baronetcy by his aforementioned younger brother, Sir Edward King, 5th Baronet, for whom the Barony of Kingston was revived in 1764. His grandson, the third Earl, was created Baron Kingston, of Mitchelstown in the County of Cork, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1821.

George King 1771-1839

George's first escapade comes to us through Claire Clairmont, half sister of Mary Shelley, who was told it many years later by George's sister Margaret Mount Cashell.

George was walking in St. Stephen's Green Dublin with a Miss Johnstone. It was moonlight and the following conversation took place:

"What a fine night to run away with another man's wife," said Big George.
"And why not another man's daughter?" said Miss Johnstone.
"Will you?" said he.
"Yes," said she.
"Done," said Big George taking her hand.
"Done," said Miss Johnstone, giving him hers.

That very night, without further courtship, they ran away and settled in the West Indies (there were a considerable number of plantations in the West Indies owned by Ascendancy families) where they had three children. George must have been about 20 years old. He was later persuaded to return to Ireland and to marry Lady Helena Moore, sister of Lord Mount Cashell. Note 2: Some sources suggest that Amelia Caroline King was in fact the child of Robert King, George's father. County Families – Walford 1868 say George, but Norfolk Archaeology says Robert. These coals were raked over when the will of Rev. Sir Edward Repps Jodrell (Amelia's son) was contested (Jodrell vs. Seale, 1888). Here it came out that the father of the three children was George and that the mother was Caroline Amelia Morison - not "Miss Johnstone" as recalled by Lady Mount Cashell

Amelia Caroline King

Born: between 31 March 1790 and 18 January 1791, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.
Died: 18 January 1860. Married: Sir Richard Paul Jodrell, of Salle Park, Norfolk, 12 December 1814, St. Marylebone, London.

Sir Richard Paul Jodrell  (1781-1861), was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford (B.A. 1804, M.A. 1806), and was called to the bar from Lincoln's Inn in 1803. He succeeded his maternal grand-uncle Sir John Lombe (formerly Hase), as a baronet at Lombe's death on 27 May 1817. He died on 14 Jan. 1861, leaving issue by his marriage, on 12 Dec. 1814 to Amelia Caroline King (d. 1860), natural daughter of Robert, second earl of Kingston (Gent. Mag. 3rd ser. x. 234 [Feb. 1861]; BURKE, Peerage , 1891, p. 762). He was author of: 1. 'Carmina Selecta,' 8vo, London, 1810, a privately printed selection from his Greek and Latin verses written at Eton. 2. 'Epigram' affixed to 'Lines written extempore at the Plain of Waterloo,' 4to, Dover, 1840. 3. 'Dover, Ancient and Modern, a Poem, with an episode, views, and notes,' 8vo, Dover, 1841. [Ends]

Note: I think it more likely that George King was Amelia's father - see the page for George King. Gentleman's Magazine of February 1861 does not specify which Earl of Kingston was Amelia's father; neither does a mention of their marriage 47 years earlier in the same magazine. One would therefore presume that they are referring to the living Earl of Kingston (in 1814), who was George.

Amelia Vertue Jodrell Born: 15 December 1821, 2 Duke St., Portland Place, Marylebone, London.Died: 15 September 1890.Married: Charles Fitzgerald Higgins (b. 31 July 1815, d. July 1860, son of Captain Fitzgerald Higgins of Westport [Ireland] and Mary Ouseley), 18 July 1842, Moorfields R.C. Church, Londen.Amelia and Charles's elopement was mentioned in almost all the London and Dublin newspapers. The Times of London, for example, ran the following on Thursday, 21 July 1842 (page 6, column 5):

ELOPEMENT. - The following case of elopement has caused no small degree of excitement in some of the fashionable circles of society at the west-end. The facts of the affair are briefly these :- On Monday morning a young lady, of great personal attractions, and between 18 and 19 years of age, only daughter of a wealthy baronet in Portland place, was suddenly missed from the mansion, and it was immediately discovered that she had taken with her the whole of her jewellery, which was of considerable value. Every possible inquiry was promptly instituted, with a view of finding out the retreat of the fair fugitive, but no tidings could be gained respecting her by any of those members of the family whose anxious solicitude for her welfare prompted them to be on the alert. The "mystery," however, was in the course of a few hours cleared up by the arrival of the lady, who returned to her parental roof (which she had so unceremoniously fled from) in a handsome carriage, and by her side was seated a dashing young Irish gentleman of fortune, to whom she had on the same morning been united in bonds indissoluble at a church not far distant, the "happy couple" alighted, and entered the dwelling, when the lady acquainted her papa with the fact that she was married, and that she and her husband were about to quit London for the Emerald Isle. Whether a reconciliation took place between the baronet and his daughter we are unable to say with any degree of certainty ; but we believe that the "error" has been forgiven. - Globe.

The Satirist of 24 July 1842 also names names, as well as the fact that Amelia Vertue's cousin Emily Moylan eloped at the same time.

Amelia took the name "Jodrell" after succeeding to the landed property in 1883

Emily Ann Moylan (1822-1883)

 

Emily Ann Moylan Born: 28 January 1822, (2, Rue de Mondovi) Paris
Died: 16 February 1883, Norwood. Married: Hercules

The year and place of Mary's birth comes from Hercules MacDonnell's 1897 genealogy. There is no record of her baptism in any Barbados church records (births were not officially recorded in those days). It is possible that this is because the family did not stay long enough for this.Mary's marriage is mentioned in Gentleman's Magazine, February 1820, p. 171:
"At Myros Wood, Co. Cork, Denny Creagh, Moylan, esq. to Miss Mary King, sister of Lady Jodrell, of Sall-hall, co. Norfolk."
... as is her death (given as May 8, 1855). The obituary in the June 1855 issue (p. 662) states
"At Cork, Mary-Margaret, relict of Denis C. Moylan, esq. late Judge of the County Court of Westminster."

Children:
Mary Frances, b. 23 April 1843, Upper Mount Street, Dublin.
Emily Héloïse, b. 1 June 1844, Upper Mount Street, Dublin maried Richard Graves, b. 10 September 1845, Upper Mount Street, Dublin. d. 24 February 1862. Killed after falling from the topsail yard on the Victor Emmanuel in the North Atlantic.
Jane Harriet Elizabeth, b. 13 August 1847, d. 25 July 1859, Sorrento Cottage, Dublin of Scarlatina.
Charles Edward, b. 14 March 1849, d. 31 July 1859, Sorrento Cottage of Scarlatina.
Hercules Henry, b. 23 March 1851 at 2, Harcourt Place.
Alfred Creagh, b. 28 January 1855 at 61, Upper Baggot Street, Dublin.
Frederick Theodore, b. 27 June 1860 at 61, Upper Baggot Street, Dublin.

Emily's elopement with Hercules MacDonnell occured on the same day (Sunday, 17 July 1842) as that of her cousin Amelia Vertue Jodrell with Charles Fitzgerald Higgins. Being the daughter of a baronet, Amelia's elopement was mentioned by almost all the London papers (although without actually mentioning her name); however a pair of articles on page 3 of The Satirist of 24 July 1842 not only name names, but also mention Emily. They also manage to mis-spell her name ("Moyland") and her husband's ("McDonald"). It is reassuring to know that journalistic standards were just as low then as they are now.

Gretna Green, by the way, is the nearest Scottish village to Carlisle, and was a favourite destination for eloping couples on account of the rather more lax Scottish marriage laws, which only required the couple to declare before witnesses their wish to be married. Famously, the ceremony was most often performed by the village blacksmith.
