   Note: Iin 1143 Milo de Mucegros filled the office of High Sheriff of Herefordshire. In the register of Wormesley Priory, several members of the family appear as benefactors to the hermitage of St. Cynidr, at Winforton, and from the deeds given therein we are enabled to compile a short portion of their pedigree : — Milo de Mucegros. =j=Petronilla. Walter de Mucegros. =j=Jveta. I Milo de Mucegros.=f=Margery de Blenknidon. »--r I I Walter de Mucegros. The last-named Walter joined in the rebellion of Simon de Montfort, and it seems not improbable that he met his death on the field of battle ; anyhow, he died in the year 1264, being then possessed of the manor of Winforton, and all his estates were forfeited to the Crown. Shortly afterwards they were granted to John le Strange, a Baron Marcher, who had been sent to reside in the Marches of Wales to keep the Welsh in order. Dngdale gives the following account of the affair : — ■ " Whereupon the war betwixt the King and the Barons breaking out, he (John le Strange) stood loyal to the King, for which respect, plain it is, he obtained a grant of all the lands of Walter de Mucegros, which were seized on for his transgression at that time."
