| By the sixth Lord Ogle’s will, the
27th of July, 1562, he is mentioned as having a brother John,663 and
may be the ‘George Ogle now of Hepple’ mentioned in the fifth Lord
Ogle’s will.664 Oswin Ogle, second son, was probably a trustee for Oldmore665 and, occurs in his mother’s will in 1539.666 He may be the Oswin Ogle mentioned 6 Edward VI.667 An Oswin Ogle of Brancepeth was pardoned on the 25th of April, 1570,668 for the part he had taken in the rebellion in the northern parts. John Ogle, third son, is mentioned as John, son of Gilbert Ogle, the 4th of March, 1529, when Robert, fourth Lord Ogle, gave him land in Oldmore for life, for which lands George Ogle of Bothal and Oswin Ogle were appointed trustees; "he was called his dearly beloved kinsman."669 In 1537 he appears to have given up his grant of land in Oldmore.670 In 1539, he is mentioned in his mother’s will which was proved in 1549;671 his name occurs on the 27th of July, 1562, in Robert, sixth Lord Ogle’s will as having Oldmore and being brother to George Ogle.672 Anne was living in 1539.673 Beryll was living in 1539, she married . . . . Horsley.673 Margaret was living in 1539;673 she is possibly the Margaret mentioned September, 20 Henry VIII.674 XVII.—Robert, sixth Lord Ogle, of Ogle and Bothal, knight, was born in 1528 as he was eighteen years of age when his father’s inquisition was taken on the 30th of May, 1546; he was nine years of age when his father married his second wife.675 He succeeded his father as Lord Ogle, on the 6th of March, 1545 and, while a minor, he and his lands were in the ward of Sir Robert Bowes, knight, whose agreement with the Crown as to wardship and marriage is dated the 8th of July, 1546, with which agreement is appended a list of his lands showing the persons who had grants and leases.676 The earl of Hertford had the previous year laid waste the counties of Berwick and Roxburgh and plundered the abbeys of Kelso, Dryburgh, Melrose and Jedburgh. In this year peace was concluded with Scotland, and on the 14th of March, 1546, being still a minor, Henry VIII presented the living of Sheepwash after the death of Cuthbert Ogle, clerk;677 but by Hutchinson’s appendix time date is given 1547, and Bothal and Sheepwash rectories were presented together, Cuthbert Ogle having the rectory of Ford when he died. In 1547, John Dudley, earl of Warwick, afterwards duke of Northumberland, defeated the Scotch at Musselburgh, and Tate men mentions the battle of Pinkie’ when the Scots lost some 12,000 men.678 In 1549, the Scotch took the castles of Ford and Cornhill, and this is the year Lord Ogle came of age and on the 1st of November, 1550, had livery of his lands,679 but he was not summoned to parliament in the reign of Edward VI. In 1550, he is mentioned as one of the gentlemen of the East Marches.680 In 1551, the marquis of Dorset was constituted lord general of the Marches and by a charter dated at Berwick the 6th of May, 1551, appointed Lord Ogle, deputy warden of the Middle Marches.681 In the same year he wrote to Cecil on his appointment, saying that his living was small and asked for an allowance.682 There are several letters of his in State Papers and he is mentioned as giving up the care of Tynedale to George Heron.683 The marquis 663 Ap. 341. 664 Ap. 338. 665 Ap. 105. 666 Ap. 337* 667 Ap. 113. 668 Pat.

of Dorset finding the labour of the charge of the
Marches too arduous, resigned after seven months, and John Dudley,
duke of Northumberland, was appointed, and on the 26th of November,
Edward VI [1547]. wrote to the duke saying that Lord Ogle had
complained
that march meetings were not kept by his opposite.684 On the 23rd of
December, Edward VI [1747] appointed him deputy warden of the Middle
Marches under the duke.685 The next year the Border laws were framed
under the duke of Northumberland, warden general. These laws were
drawn up by Lord Wharton his deputy, Lord Eure for the East Marches,
Lord Ogle for the Middle, and Sir Thomas Dacre for the West, and
others.686 On the 15th of September following, he drew up the settle
settlements for his marriage with Joan, Lady Wharton, daughter and sole
heiress of Sir Thomas Mauleverer, and settled Hepple, Great Tossan,
Flotterton. and Shilvington in trust. for her use, and shortly
afterwards married her at Allerton-Mauleverer,687 and in November was
succeeded (?) on the Marches by Lord Eure.688 On the 24th of
December, he was a party to the marriage of his sister Margery to
Gregory Ogle of Choppington.689 He was summoned to parliament on the
14th of August, 1553 and every year subsequently. In the reign of
Queen Mary, up to the 5th of November, 1558.690 The duke of
Northumberland was beheaded in 1553
[John Dudley]. On the 21st of September of the
same year a council assembled under the presidency of Lord Wharton,
the lord deputy warden, to provide for a complete system of watch
and ward, the deputy wardens, Lord Eure for the East. Lord Ogle for
the Middle. Sir Thomas Dacre for the West Marches, being present,
and others, including John Ogle, esq., and amongst the
arrangements concluded this Lord Ogle was to watch and ward from
the sea border to a street between the rivers Coquet and Wansbeck,691
and he was appointed a commissioner for inclosures on the Middle
Marches. On the 8th of August, 1554, he presented the living of
Bothal with Sheepwash Rectory to Thomas Ogle, who afterwards died
in 1571,692 On the 20th of May, 1554, he gave Ralph Bosvile, clerk
of the court of wards, an annuity out of Bothal, Hepple and Ogle.693 In
1557, the duke of Norfolk defeated the Scotch at the foot of the
Cheviots and the same year the Percies were restored in the person
of Thomas Percy, son of Sir Thomas Percy attainted, and was created
earl of Northumberland; he was descended from Sir Robert Ogle
through the Harbottles. In 1558, at Grindon a party of Scottish
marauders were driven across the Tweed by the earl of Northumberland
and his brother Sir Henry Percy, who appears to have been about this
time defeated by the Scotch at Haltwell Sweire 694 or Swinton.695 On the
25th of October of this year, Lord Ogle being sick wrote for
permission to be excused from parliament.696 On the 6th of October,
1560, with the consent of his brother Cuthbert., he granted to Thomas
Clerke of Pegsworth the office of bailiff of the manor of Bothal for
life.697 In 1561, in virtue of his com mission for the inclosures of
buildings on the Border, he, with the earl of Northumberland, signed
the recommendations of the commissioners.698 On the 23rd of February of
the same year he granted to Oliver Ogle an annuity out of Saltwick.699
On the 18th of June, 1562, he and Sir John Forster were ordered to
receive and to conduct the queen of Scotland through the county as
far as the Tyne or the Tees.700 Shortly before his death he made his will,
dated the 27th of July, in which he asked to be buried at Bothal,701
and he died at Allerton-Mauleverer on the 1st of August following
without any heirs.702 One of his inquisitions was taken before Robert
Tempest, and another one at Newcastle.-upon-Tyne the 20th of
October, 1564, in which his lands are fully |
| Page 67 |
| set forth with a descent of his
family.703 His inventory was taken in 1562. He had a life interest in
Allerton-Mauleverer. He married at Allerton-Mauleverer, Joan, daughter and sole heiress of Sir Thomas Mauleverer of Allerton-Mauleverer, Yorkshire, and widow of Sir Henry Wharton. On the 17th of September, 1552, in view of this marriage, she had Hepple, Great Tossan, Flotterton and Shilvington settled upon her.704 In the Chancery Proceedings of Elizabeth’s reign Robert, Lord Ogle, complained against Thomas, Lord Wharton, who demanded of him and Dame Joan, his, Lord Ogle’s, wife, as executor of Sir Thomas Mauleverer 1,000 marks, being as he said, a contract made at the conclusion of the marriage between Sir Henry Wharton, son of Lord Wharton, and Joan, sole daughter of Sir Thomas Mauleverer.705 By her husband’s will she had the reversion of the castle of Hurst, etc., Newmore and Newclose, and Bothal mill.706 She married as her third husband Sir Richard Mauleverer,707 it is said on the 19th of November, 1562.708 Her inquisition post mortem was taken at York castle on the 23rd of October, 1595; she was seized of the manors of Allerton-Mauleverer, Markinton, and Grafton, the site of the priory of Allerton-Mauleverer, lands, etc., in Clareton, Hopperton, etc.; she died on the 15th of January, 1595, without an heir leaving her husband surviving.709 Dorothy occurs as a daughter.710 After Lord Ogle’s death on the 17th of September, Sir John Forster wrote to Cecil saying that Robert, Lord Ogle, before his death had arranged with the Ogles to accept Cuthbert the writer’s wife’s son; after his death his two sisters tried to get possession of the house at Bothal hoping to get the entail and he asked for a commission to settle the matter.711 This shows that there was a daughter of the whole blood besides Margery, yet her name does not occur in the inquisition of the sixth Lord Ogle nor in the will of the fifth Lord Ogle, who however, had a natural daughter Anne, which latter the sixth Lord Ogle mentions in his will and also the sons of his sister (Margery). It is presumed that she married Roger Fenwick whose mother was Joan and whom Margery in her will calls ‘my mother in Brinkburn,’ when she, on the 29th of June, 1565, leaves her children to the care of Dame Dorothy Fenwick and Johan Fenwick, etc.,712 as it appears that in Sir Robert Bowes’ agreement about the wardship of the heir of the filth Lord Ogle that this lord granted lands in Savin to the wife of Roger Fenwick.713 Margery is the only daughter by her father first wife mentioned in the inquisition taken the 14th of June, 1564,714 but she and her sister tried to get the entail after Lord Ogle's death: she married in 1552, Gregory Ogle of Choppington.715 (See the Ogles of Choppington, etc., page 181.) C.—Cuthbert, seventh Lord Ogle, of Ogle and Bothal, half brother, and heir by special licence of the Crown, to Robert, Lord Ogle, was born in 1540, as he was twenty-four years of age on the 14th of June, 1564, when his half brother’s inquisition was taken, and Cuthbert is mentioned as Lord Ogle receiving the reversion of lands in Hirst and Bothal mill.716 On the 15th of September, 1542, at the age of two years, he had North Middleton settled on him for life,717 and on the 4th of April, 1544, he had given him the reversion of Cockle Park, Hebburn, after his mother Jane, for life,718 and these are the lands mentioned as reverting to Cuthbert in Sir Robert Bowes’ agreement in 1546.719 His brother, Robert, Lord Ogle, by will dated the 27th of July, 703 Ap. 206. 704 Ap. 206. 705 Rec.

1562, left him the estates, excepting the castle and the demesne of
the manor of Bothal, and having settled with the Ogles to accept
Cuthbert as the heir, died on the 1st of August, upon which his
whole sisters tried to get the entail of the estates and Sir John
Forster the 17th of September asked for a commission to settle the
matter,720 the result being evidently in favour of Cuthbert, who became
Lord Ogle and shortly afterwards, the 11th of January, 1563, was
summoned to parliament721 and subsequently he received twelve more
summonses in the reign of Elizabeth, the last being in her 39th
year, but Dugdale wrongly gives also the 43rd year. In September,
1500, he had leave to absent himself from parliament.722 Margery Ogle
of Chop Choppington in her will mentions him and Thomas Ogle as her
brethren. On the 8th of May, 1566, his brother Ralph entered into a
bond with him and also on the 14th of November, 1567, and also the
same year the latter with Edward Widdrington and others,723 in which
year, 9 Elizabeth, [1567] lie paid £10 for his relief for the castle and
manor of Bothal and other lands.724 In 1568, an inquisition was taken
of all property throughout the kingdom and this Lord Ogle’s lands
were set forth in full, consisting of Bothal, Ogle, Hepple, etc.725
In 1569, the great northern rebellion under the earls of
Northumberland and Westmoreland broke out, which was known as the
Rising of the North and had for its object the restoring of the
Roman Catholic religion, their first success being in Durham
cathedral. Sir John Forster, warden of the Middle Marches, took the
castles of Alnwick and Warkworth from the tenants and dependants of
the earl of Northumberland, and having raised 1,100 horsemen and
waylaid the passes by which the friends of the earl of
Northumberland might join him, and afterwards in company with Lord
Ogle and Thomas Forster, his brother, he went to Newcastle, where with
Thomas Gower he took order for the defence of the town against the
rebels. Several skirmishes took place and in a skirmish at Chester
Dean, between Durham and Newcastle, the two earls returned to
Durham and afterwards fled to Scotland, where the earl of
Northumberland was made prisoner and afterwards beheaded and the
earl of Westrnoreland flying to Flanders was attainted.726 In 1571,
he presented the living of Bothal with Sheepwash rectory, and also
subsequently in 1578 and 1587.727 On the 14th of December, 1572, he
was named as one of the executors of the will of Martin Ogle of
Tritlington,728 and in 1574 was appointed under the earl of
Huntingdon, one of the council of the north on matters of justice.729
In 1575 he mortgaged his share of the property at Hexham,730
this property having come to him through the Carnabys. In
July of the
same year occurred the raid on the Redswire where Sir John Forster
and James Ogle were taken prisoners. In 1576, Christopher Elmer sold
to him the stewardship of the queen’s manors of Ellington in this
county and Cropwell in the county of Durham.731 He granted a commission
to Robert Carnaby, Robert Maddison and Jacob Ogle, esquires, to
survey his manor of Bothal, and their report set forth in the book
of ‘Bothool Barony’ is dated the 20th of June, 1576.732 In 1578, a
pedigree was made out for him by Glover and was placed in red
letters on the south side of the walls of the chancel of St. Andrew’s
church, Bothal. He deprived William Duxfield of the rectory of
Sheepwash and made another presentation on the 25th of September, 1578.733 On the 19th of June, 1579, he demised lands in Berle and other
places.734 In 1580 the able horsemen of his tenants numbered 52, and in
1580 or 1581 he was one of the commissioners on the Borders to
survey forts and castles on the East and Middle Marches.735 In 1581 he
is mentioned with his wife as holding lands in Brunton and Falloden.736 On the 6th of October, 720 Cal. For. 721 Dugdale. 722 Cal.

| 1581, Dame Isabel Grey of Ogle castle
mentioned him in her will as her brother-in-law and Lady Ogle as her
mother-in-law. In 1582 a commission was issued to the earl of Huntingdon
and Lord Ogle to enquire into the cause of some riots;737 this was no
doubt one of the duties of the council of the north to which he had been
appointed eight years previously. In 1583 having no hope of male heirs,
he applied to the Crown for permission to disentail the property, upon
which Oswin Ogle of Shilvington, the next heir male, petitioned the
Crown against this injustice, but without avail for on the 2nd of
September he got a licence to alienate his property to Edward Talbot and
Jane his daughter,738 and on the 20th of September following by an
indenture, to which George, earl of Shrewsbury was a party, he entailed
his property upon Edward Talbot and Jane, his eldest daughter, with the
exception of North
Middleton and Lorbottle, which were for the use of his younger
daughter Katherine.739 On the 10th of April, 1585, Reynold Swinburne
of Bothal by will left bequests to Lord and Lady Ogle.740 The same year
on the 27th of June, a border outrage was committed at
Hexpethgatehead, when Lord Francis Russell, son of the earl of
Bedford, was killed.741 In 1587, there was a fray in which William
Clavering was murdered and Cuthbert, Lord Ogle, James Ogle
reported by letter on the occurrence to Lord Burghley.742 In 1588, the
Scots, under the earl of Bothwell, burnt Fenton hamlet and repulsed
an attack by Sir Henry Percy, brother to the earl of Northumberland.
The lawlessness of the Borders is shown forth in a statute of the
year 1594, which declared that the murders, ravage and daily
oppression of the subjects to the displeasure of God, dishonour of
prince and devastation of the country’ were caused by the negligence
of landlords and magistrates, but chiefly by the spirit of deadly
feud among the heads of clans and families ‘so that the said
chieftains, principals of branches and householders, worthily may be
esteemed the very authors, fosterers and maintainers of the wicked
deeds of the vagabonds of their clans and surnames.’ In 1595, on a
question of family apparently ‘Ra Eure’ (who was Lord Eure and whose
signature occurs in Kirkley Deeds) wrote saying the earl of
Northumberland, Lord Ogill, myself, etc., have estates equal if not
some better than Buccleugh's: again in 1596, the same wrote to say
that the number of Light Horse fit were 71 including the whole staff
of the best gentlemen, Lord Ogill and others.743 On the 3rd of June,
1597, an order of the Council was addressed to the justices and
others and certified by Ralph Lord Eure. lord warden of the Mid
Marches of the North Parts, Cuthbert, Lord Ogle and others, that the
bearer John Steele had his house in Northumberland burned and
wasted by the Scots who carried away his goods and cattle and left
him sore hurt to his utter undoing. They therefore grant him these
letters of licence to gather alms in churches and elsewhere.744 Lord
Ogle died on the 20th of November, 1597, at Cockle Park, and was
buried at Bothal.745 His inquisition was taken at Morpeth on the 21st
of October, 1598, where his lands are fully set forth and will be
found in the appendix.746 He married about 1565, Katherine, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Reginald Carnaby of Hatton, who was steward of Hexham in 1.538;747 she is mentioned in the indenture of the 20th of September, 1583, and appears to have had dower of Pegsworth, Coneygarth, Twisell, Longhirst, Oldmoor, Bothal Mill, New Close, Black close, Galley House, and the demesne of Bothal excepting the park. She brought to her husband the manors of Morley and Berle, also land etc., there and in Thorngrafton Mill house, Cringle Dikes, Newton Hall, Brunton, Dotland Park, Jesmond, Elswick, Dove Cot Close, Castle leyes, Matfen and Hexham, which her daughter afterwards possessed.749 On the 737 Cal.

2nd of January, 1616, she granted to Edward, earl
of Shrewsbury, and Lady Jane, his countess, lands in Pegsworth.750 She
died at Bothal, the inventory of her goods was taken on the 10th of
January, 1622, and the administration of her goods committed to the
countess of Shrewsbury.751 (To XVIII. now senior line.) |

| Ewin, by a pedigree at the Heralds’
College, was son of Oswin, and aged thirty in 1598. The
administration of the goods of Ewin Ogle of the parish of Morpeth is
dated the 5th of November, 1600.768 He married Isabella, daughter of . . . . Middleton of Newcastle, but her name is called Elizabeth on the 5th of November, 1600. (To XVIII. I.) Jane.769 Anne.770 [Editors comments: Jane Ogle (1566 - 1625) who married a Talbot and Katherine Ogle (1568 - 1629) who married a Cavendish was co-heir to the Ogle estates with her sister. Jane was given most of the property, with Katherine receiving less but was 'in remainder'. I believe this means that if Jane dies without issue, all the property reverts to Katherine - and that is exactly what happened. Jane died the 7th January 1625/26 without issue. Katherine inherited all the Ogle Barony, but she also inherited the properties of her mother, she died 18 April 1629 -- Upon Katherine's death the barony of Ogle including extensive properties was lost to the Ogle Family, being inherited by her son, William Cavendish. ] XVIII.—Jane, elder daughter and co-heiress to the barony of Ogle, was born in 1566, for she was more than thirty years old in 1597. In 1583, her father got permission to break the entail of his property and he re-entailed it on Edward Talbot and Jane on their marriage, the indentures, to which George, earl of Shrewsbury was a party, bearing date the 20th of September of that year. The marriage took place on the 11th of December, 1583.771 This Edward was second son of George, sixth earl of Shrewsbury, who was apparently dead the 10th of April, 1592, when Gilbert, seventh earl of Shrewsbury was a party to a fine levied on the entailed property, which appears however, to have excluded North Middleton and Lorbottle, settled on Jane younger sister, Katherine.772 After the death of Cuthbert, Lord Ogle in November, 1597, she and her sister became co-heiresses to the barony of Ogle and this Jane inherited the property settled upon her; she and her husband, who, on the 8th of May, 1615, succeeded his brother as eighth earl of Shrewsbury, apparently lived at Bothal. On the 3rd of January, 1616, the earl of Shrewsbury and Lady Jane, his wife, having granted Dionis Wilson lands in Pegsworth, granted the same to him. and his son, Edward, for life.773 He died at Bothal on the 8th of February, 1617/8; his will is dated the 15th of January and was proved the 23rd of February, 1617/8 by his countess; and he was buried in Westminster abbey. On the 29th of Dec 1618, Robert Ogle of Bothal, left the countess of Shrewsbury £60 in gold.774 On the 28th of September, 1621, she made an arrangement with Dionis Wilson of Pegsworth. On the 10th of January, 1623, the administration of the estate of her mother, Katherine, Baroness Ogle, was committed to her for her own and for her sister’s use. She died at Bothal without issue, and was buried in St. Edmund’s chapel, Westminster abbey, the 7th of January, 1625/6, by the side of her husband under a magnificent tomb bearing their reclining effigies with the arms of Talbot and Ogle, including heraldic pedigrees of both families, and amongst other words the following 'Jane, widow of Edward Talbot, earl of Shrewsbury, etc., who was first born daughter of Cuthbert, Baron Ogle.’ Ben Jonson wrote epitaphs for this lady and her sister Katherine.776 Katherine, Baroness Ogle, of Ogle and Bothal, was born in 1568/9, for she was more than twenty-eight years of age at her father’s death in 1597. On the 20th of September, 1583, when her sister’s settlements were made she had North Middleton and Lorbottle settled upon her and she was in remainder for the rest of the property. In 1591, she married Sir Charles Cavendish, knight, of Welbeck abbey, youngest brother of William, first earl of Devonshire; he had married as his first wife, Margaret daughter and co-heiress of Sir Thomas Kitson of Hengrave, Suffolk. On the 20th of November, 1597, she became, on the death of her father, co-heiress to the barony of Ogle which fell into abeyance. On the 18th of June, 1599, Sir Charles Cavendish, while in Nottinghamshire in company with Henry Ogle, Launce Ogle and an attendant, was set upon by a party of 20 horsemen and was at once badly wounded, yet this small party of four beat off their assailants, unhorsing 768 Ap. 395. 769 Heralds College. 770 Heralds College. 771 Ap. 211. 772 Ap. 220. 773 Kirk D. 774 Ap. 429. 775 Kirk D. 776 See Harl.

six, killing two, and wounding two.777 On the 3rd of January, 1616, she
and her husband are mentioned in the Kirkley Deeds; he made his
will on the 27th of March, and died on the 4th of April, 1617. A
fine monument to hi memory in Bolsover church, county Derby,
erected, as is stated by Lady Katherine, second daughter to
Cuthbert, Lord Ogle, sets forth with extra ordinary fulness his
virtues and character; the arms of Cavendish and Ogle are displayed
thereon. In All Hallows’ church, Derby, is a stately monument to
Elizabeth, his mother, who died in 1607. After the death of her
mother Katherine, Lady Ogle, in 1622, she became with her sister
co-heiress of her mother’s property, and on the death of her sister
Jane in 1625/6, she became heir to the title and estates of both her
father and mother. On the 4th of December, 1628, she was by Letters
Patent declared to be Baroness Ogle with the confirmation of that
dignity to her and to her heirs for ever; she died at Bothal the
next year on the 18th of April (sic)779 and was buried at Bolsover
church the 20th of April, 1629.778 Her inquisition, taken at New

Cavendish de Balneo Militis Barones Ogle jure materno et in Vice-comitem Mansfield, Comitem de Ogle mereto creati,’784 was born in 1593 and baptised the 16th of December in the same year, and was educated at St. John’s College, Cambridge. In 1610, when but seventeen years old, he was created a Knight of the Bath. It has been stated that on the 3rd of November, 1620, he was created Baron Ogle of Bothal and Viscount Mansfield, but there is no evidence to support the statement as to the former of these dignities, it is not even mentioned in the duchess of Newcastle’s own book printed in 1667, when he was yet alive, and on the monument above and on the one in Westminster abbey he is stated to be Baron Ogle ' jure materno,’ but he held the baronies by tenure of Ogle and Bothal which his mother may have made over to him at the time he was created Viscount Mansfield. He became in 1626, Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire and was created on the 7th of March, 1628, Baron Cavendish of Bolsover, and earl of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. On the death of his mother in 1629, he succeeded to the title of Baron Ogle of Ogle and Bothal and all the lands she held, but he had probably already succeeded to the barony by tenure of Hepple, Welbeck abbey, Bolsover, etc. In 1638, he was appointed Gentleman of the Bed Chamber to the Prince of Wales and was from 1638 to 1641 the governor of that prince and the Master of the Horse.

| 74 returned to England and obtained an Act for the restitution of his lands which had been confiscated and sold. He afterwards became lord chief justice in Eyre. On the 16th of March, 1664/5, he was created earl of Ogle and duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and in 1670 he became Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland. He died at Welbeck abbey on the 25th of December, 1676, aged eighty-four. His will is dated the 4th of October, 1676. He was buried near the chapel of St. Michael, Westminster abbey, where there is a magnificent monument to his memory with the inscription, ' Here lyes the Loyall Duke of Newcastle and his Duchess his second wife . . . . Willielmus Cavendish de Balneo Miles Baro Ogle jure materno Vicec Mans field Baro Cavendish. de Bolesover Comes de Ogle, Comes Marches et Jinx de Novo Castro, etc.’ Over the monument are the arms of Cavendish quartering those of Ogle, over the effigies are the same arms impaling those of his wife, and at the base, dexter side, Cavendish quartering Ogle, and sinister side, the arms of Lucas. According to his duchess he was plundered and injured to the extent of £941,303. In his exile during the Commonwealth, he wrote a treatise on government and the interest of Great Britain with respect to the other powers of Europe. He also wrote plays and poems and was fond of music, but is best known for his work on horsemanship. Lord Clarendon says ' He was a very fine gentleman, active and full of courage, and most accomplished in those qualities of horsemanship, dancing, and fencing which accompany a good breeding in which his delight was, besides that he was amorous in poetry and music to which he indulged the greatest part of his time, and nothing could have tempted him out of those paths of pleasure which he enjoyed in a full and ample fortune, but honour, and ambition, to serve the king when he saw him in distress, and abandoned by those who were in the highest degree obliged to him and by him. He loved monarchy as it was the foundation of his own greatness and the church as it was well constituted for the splendour and security of the Crown, and religion, as it cherished and maintained that order and obedience that was necessary to both, without any other passions for the particular opinions which were grown up in it and distinguished it into parties, than as he detested whatever was likely to disturb the public peace.’ Lord Oxford says of him, that he was a man extremely well known from the course of life into which he was forced and would have been forgotten in the walk of fame which he chose for himself.786 He was by descent the ninth Lord Ogle of Ogle and Bothal. He married, first, Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of William Basset of Blore, Staffordshire, and widow of the Hon. Henry Howard, third son of Thomas, earl of Suffolk. She died on the 16th and was buried at Bolsover the 19th of April, 1643. (To XX.) He married, secondly, in April, 1645, Margaret, daughter of Thomas Lucas, and sister of John, first Lord Lucas of Colchester. She was, like her husband, fond of music, and wrote thirteen folio volumes of plays and also an account of the duke in 1667. She died without issue at Welbeck, the 15th of December, 1673, and was buried in the north aisle of Westminster abbey, on the 7th of January, 1674. (By first wife to XX.) Sir Charles Cavendish of Wallington, third son, was at the battle of Marston moor and left the next day, the 4th of July, 1644, with his brother the marquis of Newcastle for Hamburgh, and was no doubt at Paris with his brother, for he went to England with the duchess and in 1649 was at Willingore, Lincoinshire, and begging to compound for delinquency; he was fined £1,507 and asked that an annuity of £300 out of the earl of Newcastle’s estate might be paid him, as Lady Katherine cavendish had left him £100 out of lands belonging to her mother and £300 a year out of lands left by her 786 Noble Authors. |
