  === Life Sketch ===
  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

3. Title: Appendix I of "Ancestors and Descendants of John Price: Immigrant to Virginia: 1610-11"
   Note: Although the book is compiled by Vina Chandler Price, Appendix I was included at the request of Mrs. Margaret Scruggs Carruth, and was researched by Miss Kett and by Mr. H. E. Forrest (after the death of Miss Kett, which took before 1930). Both Miss Kett and Mr. Forrest were reputed to be professional genealogists. Mr Forrest is also referred to as the "Antiquarian Editor" of the Shrewsbury Chronicle I looked H. E. Forrest online and found that he is also the editor of the following books: --"Shrewsbury Burgess Roll", published in 1924 by the Shrewsbury and Shropshire Archaeological and Parish Register Society --"The old Churches of Shrewsbury: Their History, Architecture and Associations", published in 1920 by Shrewsbury, Wilding & Son --"Some Old Shropshire Houses and their Owners: Braggington (with a plate), Dinthill, Whitley, & Play-Y-Court", published in 1915 by Shropshire Archaeological & Natural History Society. Margaret Scruggs Carruth is a charter member of "Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede". She served as Registrar when it was first organized, and is listed as member #22. To be eligible for membership, a person must descend from one or more of the Barons of Runnemede. The Barons forced King John to agree to the Magna Carta, a charter constituting a fundamental guarantee of rights and privileges. Mrs. Scruggs claims eligibility for membership through John Price who supposedly descended from eleven of the Barons. Appendix I provides two different lineages. One is from Robert Fitzwalter (who was one of the Barons of Runnemede) to John Price (born 1584-5), and the titular character of this book. The 2nd is from Elystan Glodrydd app Cyhelin ap Ifor (933-1010) (who was Prince of Ferlllys and founder of the Fourth Royal Tribe of Wales) back to the same John Price.
   Page: On pg. 515, Ralph de Meisnilwarin (of Cheshire) is identified as: the father of Bertred; and the grandfather of James d'Audlithley (husband of Eva de Longspee (5th Gen); and the great grandfather of Nicholas d'Audlithley (6th Gen).
