The Gunpowder Plot and Lord Mounteagle's Letter, Being a Proof, with Moral Certitude, of the Authorship of the Document: Together with Some Account of the Whole Thirteen Gunpowder Conspirators, Including Guy Fawkes
Spink, Henry
Gunpowder Plot, 1605; Monteagle, William Parker, Baron, 1574 or 1575-1622
[Footnote A: “_The Connoisseur._”]
[Footnote B: Richard Norton fled to Cavers House, Hawick, in the Border
Country of Scotland, and afterwards to Flanders, where he died.——See “_Sir
Ralph Sadler’s Papers_,” Ed. by Sir Walter Scott.]
The Goodrickes derived the Ribston Estate (which included the Manor of
Hunsingore and the Lordship of Great Cattal) from Charles Brandon Duke of
Suffolk, William Parker fourth Lord Mounteagle’s great-great-grandfather.
The Goodrickes were akin to the Hawkesworths, who again were akin to the
Fawkeses, and likewise to the Wards (see _ante_). The Ribston branch of
the Goodrickes died out early in the nineteenth century——Sir Harry
Goodricke being the last baronet. The ancient Ribston, Hunsingore, and
Great Cattal demesne is now owned by Major Dent, of Ribston Hall, near
Knaresbrough.
