DYMOKE OF SCRIVELSBY, CHAMPION OF ENGLAND.
[Illustration] The name is supposed to be derived from Dimmok, in
the county of Gloucester, but the pedigree is not proved beyond
Henry Dymmok in the second year of Edward III. His grandson John
married Margaret, sole grand-daughter and heir of Sir Thomas de
Ludlowe, by Joan youngest daughter and coheir of Philip last Lord
Marmyon, Baron of Scrivelsby, and by the tenure of that manor
hereditary Champion of England, which office, since the Coronation
of Richard II. has been held by the Dymoke family.
See Banks's Family of Marmyon, p. 117; and Allen's Lincolnshire, ii.
83.
ARMS.--_Sable, two lions passant argent crowned or_. Borne by Monsr.
John Dymoke in the reign of Richard II. (Roll of the date.)
Present Representative, The Honourable and Rev. John Dymoke.
HENEAGE OF HAINTON.
[Illustration] John Heneage stands at the head of the pedigree; he
was living in the 38th Henry III. From him descended another John,
who in the 10th of Edward III. was Lord of the Manor of Hainton;
according to Leland however, "the olde Henege lands passid not a
fyfetie poundes by the yere." The family evidently rose on the ruins
of the monastic houses: "Syr Thomas Hennage hath doone much cost at
Haynton, where he is Lorde and Patrone, yn translating and new
building with brike and abbay stone."
See Leland's Itinerary, vii. fol. 52; and Allen's History of
Lincolnshire, ii. 67.
ARMS.--_Or, a greyhound courant sable between three leopard's heads
azure, a border engrailed gules_.
Present Representative, Edward Heneage, Esq., M.P. for Lincoln.
MANNERS OF BELVOIR CASTLE, DUKE OF RUTLAND 1703, EARL 1525.
[Illustration] Originally of Northumberland, where the family were
seated at an early period. The first recorded ancestor is Sir Robert
de Maners, who obtained a grant of land in Berrington in 1327, and
was M.P. for Northumberland in 1340. His son William Maners, of
Etal, died before 1324, which estate appears to have been inherited
from an heiress of Muschamp. At the end of the fifteenth century, by
marriage with the heiress of the baronial family of Roos, the house
of Manners came into possession of the Castle of Belvoir. In the
succeeding century, a fortunate match with the heiress of Vernon of
Haddon still further increased the wealth and importance of this
noble family.
The royal title of Rutland, which had belonged to the house of York,
was conferred upon Thomas Lord Roos in 1525 as the grandson of the
lady Anne of York, sister to King Edward the Fourth.
An extinct branch was from the time of Henry VIII. for a long period
of Newmanor House, in the parish of Framlington, in Durham. Another
branch of the Etal family was of Cheswick, in the same county,
extinct after 1633.

pt. i. 67; and Brydges's Collins, i. 454.
