Mons. de Beaumont omitted the baton (Rolls of the dates.) Present Representative, Sir George Howland Beaumont, ninth Baronet. GREY OF GROBY AND BRADGATE, EARL OF STAMFORD 1628; BARON 1603. [Illustration] Dugdale begins the pedigree of this great historical family with Henry de Grey, unto whom King Richard the First in the sixth year of his reign gave the manor of Turroc or Thurrock in Essex. His son Richard was of Codnoure or Codnor in Derbyshire, inherited from his mother, a coheiress of Bardolf. Groby and Bradgate came from the heiress of Ferrers in the reign of Henry VI. Of the latter Leland writes, "This parke was parte of the old Erles of Leicester's landes, and since by heires generales it came to the Lord Ferrers of Groby, and so to the Greyes." Extinct Branches of this illustrious family were, the Greys of Codnor, of Wilton, of Rotherfield, of Ruthyn, and the Dukes of Kent and Suffolk. See Dugdale's Baronage, i. 709; Nichols's Leicestershire, iii. pt. 2. 682; Brydges's Collins, iii. 340. ARMS.--_Barry of six, argent and azure_. Richard de Grey bore this coat in the reign of Henry III. John de Grey differenced it with _a label gules_. In the reign of Edward II. the same arms were borne by different members of the family, with the additions of _a bend gules, a label gules, a label gules bezantée, a baton gules, and three torteauxes in chief_, which last was used by the Dukes of Suffolk. Present Representative, George Harry Grey, seventh Earl of Stamford and Warrington. BABINGTON, OF ROTHLEY-TEMPLE. [Illustration] The Babingtons were of Babington in Northumberland in the reign of King John: they afterwards removed into Nottinghamshire, and became very distinguished. The elder line was seated at Dethick in Ashover, in the county of Derby, by marriage with the coheiress of the ancient family of that name, before the year 1431. The Rothley branch, descended from a second son of the house of Dethick, was seated there at the very beginning of the sixteenth century, and is now the chief line of the family on the extinction of Babington of Dethick about 1650. See Nichols's Leicestershire, iii. pt. 2. 955; and Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica, ii. 94, and viii. 313, for a most valuable article on the elder line of this family. See also Topographer and Genealogist, i. 133, 259, 333, for the various branches of this ancient family. ARMS.--_Argent, ten torteauxes and a label of three points azure_. This coat reversed and without the label was borne by Sir John de Babington in the reign of Edward II. (Roll of the date.)
