It is perhaps worthy of remark in this place, that the titles of Earl of Flint and Viscount Wickham were sarcastically applied to this notorious personage. Granger, vol. iv. p. 272, says, “there is a print of Judge Jefferys as Earl of Flint, Viscount Wickham, Baron of Wem;" and adds, "I was once inclined to think it a sarcasm, until a curious gentleman shewed me the following book: Dissertatio Lithologica,' &c. dedicated to 'Honoratissimo Domino Georgio Comiti Flintensi, Vicecomiti de Weickham, Ba BARON.

In the accusation of the Duke of Suffolk by the Commons, in the 28th Henry VI. it is stated that, "Item, the said Duke, for the singular enrichyng of his neece and her husbond, sonne to the Capidawe, caused you to make the said sonne Erle of Kendale, to geve him grete possessions and enheritaunces in Englond, and over that to graunte hym dyvers castelles, lordshippes, and grete possessions in youre Duchie of Guyen, to the yerely value of Mli. and more; and by cause your liege people there kept the same castelles, lordshippes, and possessions to your behoofe, the said sonne accompanyed to hym grete nombre of your adversaries and ennemyes biseged youre seid liege people, and gate somme of the same castelles, lordshippes, and possessions, and distressed many of youre seid liege people, to the overgrete amenusing of your enheritaunce, discomfortyng and discoraging of your liege people in Guyen aforesaid." Rot. Parl. 28 Henry VI. vol. v. p. 181-2. He was never summoned to Parliament. G G |
