About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1849. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Sir Peter, who succeeded his father, at the age of 48 years, and also, Gowther a Legh. Margaret, married Laurence Warren, Esq., about July, 1494.--Ormerod, vol. i. p. 343.

The former, an active and faithful adherent of Richard II., was amongst the earliest martyrs in the cause of the House of York; for, his loyalty and gratitude having made him obnoxious to the Duke of Lancaster, he was seized upon the first advance of the insurgent forces into Cheshire, and was shortly afterwards beheaded, at Chester. This memorable event would seem never to have been forgotten by his family during the course of the long struggle which ensued. Sir Peter Legh, the father of the compiler or author of the manuscript, shared in the glories of Agincourt. The blood which he shed there procured him, we are told, the honour of knighthood on the field; but it also cost him his life, for he died at Paris, in consequence of his wounds, in the year 1422, being then about thirty-two years of age. We are not precisely informed, however, where his son, the third Sir Peter Legh, spent his youth; but, as his mother, shortly after the death of her first lord, married Sir Richard Molyneux, another Lancashire hero who had fought by his side at Agincourt, and survived in her second marriage until the year 1439, we may safely infer that, for a time at least, Sir Pete...
