{26b} It is remarkable that Ormerod, in his _Cheshire_, vol. i. p.
xxxii., mentions that it was Sir William Troutbeck who was slain in the
battle; but in vol. ii. pp. 27 and 28, his son, Sir John Troutbeck, is
mentioned as the person who was slain there; and it is stated that the
former had been, and that the latter was at that time, Chamberlain of
Chester.
{27a} Stow’s _Annals_, p. 405. See also Holinshed’s _Chronicles_, p.
649.
{27b} _Rot. Parl._ vol. v. 38th of Henry VI. p. 348. Leland’s
_Itinerary_, vol. vii. fo. 32.
{27c} John De Sutton Baron of Dudley (called in the act of Parliament of
38th of Henry VI. (1459) John Lord Dudley), being a firm adherent to the
Lancastrian interest, and being surprised at Gloucester in the 29th year
of Henry VI., by Richard Duke of York (upon his return at that time out
of Ireland), was sent prisoner to the Castle of Ludlow. (Stow’s
_Annals_; and Dugdale’s _Baronage_, vol. ii. p. 215.) He was wounded at
the battle of Blore Heath. (Leland’s _Itinerary_, vol. vii. fo. 32.)
The imprisonment of the Baron of Dudley in the Tower of London in 1455,
is mentioned in Fenn’s collection of original letters (sometimes called
the _Paston Letters_), vol. i. p. 107. It should seem, therefore, that
he was twice imprisoned at the instance of the Duke of York. After the
accession of Edward IV., Dudley was, however, reconciled to the House of
York, and he does not appear to have ever afterwards assisted the
opposite party. By his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Berkley of
Beverstan in Gloucestershire, he had issue three sons: Edmund, who died
in his father’s lifetime, leaving issue John, from whom the Earls of
Warwick and Leicester derived their descent; and William Bishop of
Durham; he had also a daughter, Margaret, married to George Longueville,
of Little Billinge, Northamptonshire, Esq.
{27d} Sir John Neville was afterwards Marquis Montague, and slain at the
battle of Barnet in 1471; and Sir Thomas Neville was slain at the battle
of Wakefield in 1460.
{27e} Hall’s _Chronicles_, fo. 173; Holinshed’s _Chronicles_, fo. 649;
Baker’s _Chronicles_, fo. 195; Stow’s _Annals_, fo. 405.
{28a} Afterwards John Lord Wenlock.
