to retain the favor of this most powerful baron. Several years after the death
of Lady Cecilia, William remarried to Eugenia, who was the daughter of
Alexander, who was the son of Uvieth. In 1221, a year after William died,
Eugenia sued William's son Adam Radcliffe, for her dower in a third part of
Redclyffe, Edgeworth, and Little Lever including lands in Entwistle and

| Born: ABT 1509,

Notes: During the reign of Henry VIII, the Earl of Sussex
and his son and a party of friends rode out of London to take part in a
tournament. In the village of Kensigton, a girl, Isabel Harvey, who with
her father happened to be visiting some friends, leaned out so far in her
eagerness to see the gay cavalcade that she droped her glove. Sir Humphrey
dipped his lance, impaled the glove, and returned it to her owner. Isabel beauty
had cast such a spell upon Sir Humphrey that he contrived toleave his
companions. Edmund Harvey and his daughter were about to set off for
London, and as the road thence bore an evil reputation, the merchant readily
acquiesced in the knight´s (represented himself as a squire in service with Earl
of Sussex) suggestion that he should bear them company, and so agreeable did
he make himself that when they reached Harvey´s house in Cheapside he received
an invitation to come in to supper. Friendship with Isabel soon ripened into
love, nor did her father raise any objection when asked to give his consent to
their marriage. Isabel Harvey came to her husband a richly dowered bride,
but they have been married some time before she learned the fact that her
husband was the son, not the servant, of Robert of Sussex, Lord High
Chamberlain of England. They settled at Elstow, in Bedfordshire.
