ARMS.--_Per fess gules and argent, three cinquefoils counterchanged_, borne by Monsieur William Swynburne in the reign of Richard II. (Roll of the date.) Present Representative, Sir John Swinburne, 7th Baronet. MIDDLETON (CALLED MONCK) OF BELSEY CASTLE, BARONET 1662. [Illustration] John de Middleton, father of Sir Richard Middleton, sometime secretary and chancellor to King Henry III., is the first on record of the ancestors of this family. The castle of Belsey appears to have come from the heiress of Stryvelin in the reign of Edward III. The name was exchanged for Monck in 1799. A younger branch, now extinct, was of Silksworth, co. Durham. See Hodgson's History of Northumberland, vol. i. pt. ii. p. 353; "The Record of the House of Gourney," 4to, pr. pr. 1848, p. 560; and Wotton's Baronetage, iii. 382. ARMS.--_Quarterly gules and or, in the first quarter a cross flory argent_. Present Representative, Sir Charles Miles Lambert Monck, sixth Baronet. SELBY OF BIDDLESTON. [Illustration] In 1272, King Edward I. granted in the first year of his reign the lands of Biddleston to Sir Walter de Selby: it has ever since remained in the possession of his descendants, and has been usually the chief seat of the Selbys. Their early history unfortunately is defective, occasioned by an accidental fire which took place at Allenton in 1721, at that time the residence of the family, whose evidences were thereby mostly destroyed. For the grant above mentioned, and for the pedigree, see Mackenzie's View of Northumberland, ii. 39. ARMS.--_Barry of eight or and sable_. Present Representative, Walter Selby, Esq. GREY OF HOWICK, EARL GREY 1806, BARONET 1746. [Illustration] An eminent border family, of which there have been many branches, descended from Thomas Grey of Heton, living in the second of Edward I. (1273), and from Sir John Grey of Berwick, living in 1372, who was ancestor of the baronial house of Grey of Wark and Chillingham, and of the Howick family, founded by Sir Edward Grey of Howick, who died in 1532, and was the fourth son of. Sir Ralph Grey of Chillingham. "No family perhaps in the whole of England," writes Raine in his admirable History of North Durham, "has in the course of the centuries through which the line of Grey can be traced, afforded so great a variety of character." Younger Branches. Sir George Grey, Baronet 1814, and Grey of Morwick, co. Northumberland. See the curious and valuable "Illustrations of the Pedigree of Grey," in Raine's North Durham, p. 327, &c.; Surtees's Durham, ii. 19; and Brydges's Collins, v. 676. ARMS.--_Gules, a lion rampant within a border engrailed argent, a mullet for difference_. The present coat was borne by Monsieur Thomas Grey, as appears by the Roll of the reign of Richard II.
