ARMS.--_Quarterly, first and fourth argent, second and third gules, a fret or, over all a bend sable charged with three escallops of the first_. This coat, which is differenced from the ancient baronial arms by the three escallop shells, was used by Henry Spencer of Badby, who sealed his will with it. In 1504 another coat was granted, viz. _Azure, a fess ermine between six sea-mew's heads erased argent_, but the more ancient arms have been generally borne by the Spencers. Present Representative, John Poyntz Spencer, 5th Earl Spencer. ROKEBY OF ARTHINGWORTH. [Illustration] This is a junior branch of the Rokebys of Rokeby in Yorkshire, a knightly race immortalized by Scott. The principal line has been long extinct. Sir Thomas Rokeby was Sheriff of Yorkshire in the eighth of Henry IV. The family was seated in the parish of Ecclesfield, and also at Sandal-Parva, in South Yorkshire, where William Rokeby was Rector in the reign of Henry VII. In 1512 he became Archbishop of Dublin. His brother Ralph wrote the history of the family, now in possession of Mr. Rokeby of Arthingworth, and which is printed in Whitaker's Richmondshire, vol. i. p. 158. The present family acquired Arthingworth from the Langhams by marriage in the end of the seventeenth century. See Hunter's South Yorkshire, i. p. 199. ARMS.--_Argent, a chevron between three rooks sable_, borne by Mons. Thomas de Rokeby in the reigns of Edward III. and Richard II. (Rolls of the dates.) Present Representative, the Rev. Henry Ralph Rokeby. MAUNSELL OF THORPE-MALSOR. [Illustration] The curious poetical history of this family, preserved in "Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica," claims one "Saher," there written "_Sier, the syer of us all_," as their ancestor: he is stated to have been the son of Ralph Maunsel, who was living in Buckinghamshire in the 14th of Henry II. (1167). Thickthornes in Chicheley in that county appears to have been the residence of the Maunsells, and also Turvey in Bedfordshire. These lands were sold by William the son of Sampson le Maunsel of Turvey to William Mordaunt in 1287. The Maunsells afterwards settled at Bury-End in Chicheley, and in 1622 at Thorpe-Malsor. Elder Branches. 1. Maunsell of Muddlescombe, co. Carmarthen, Baronet 1621-2. 2. The extinct Barons Maunsell, created 1711, extinct 1744. Younger Branch. Maunsell of Cosgrave in this county, which came from the coheiress of Furtho. See Coll. Topog. et Genealog. i. p. 389; Baker's Northamptonshire, ii. p. 132; and Memoirs of the family, an unfinished work privately printed in 1850 by William W. Maunsell, esq. ARMS.--_Argent, a chevron between three maunches sable_. Present Representative, Thomas Philip Maunsell, Esq. late M. P. for North Northamptonshire. +Gentle.+ ISHAM OF LAMPORT, BARONET 1627.
