Sir Bartholomew BURGHERSH was son of Bartholomew Lord BURGHERSH
(frequently distinguished by the title of Senior) and
Elizabeth, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Theobald de
VERDON. His father was first ummoned to Parliment I Edward
III. A person of great council and valor which laid a strong
foundation for his son's honor. But among these, enumerated in
the preamble to the Statutes, both of Institution, (with their
Exemplars) and those of King Henry V, he is called Bartholomeus
de Burghersh filius, and Bartholomew de Burghersh le filz. (and
so in divers places of our Publick Records) though we have seen
some transcripts of these Statutes, wherein the point hath been
at the end of the surname, and filius (so also le filz) joined
to Dom. Johannes de Beauchamp. But this was a plain mistake of
the transcriber, since this John was never married. His
first martial service was when the King went into Bretagne 16
Edward III, next he went with the Prince in the Kings
Expedition into France 20 Edward III, where he staid with him
at the Siege of Calais. And for recompence of his expenses, in
this Voyage, the King granted him the Custody of all the lands
and Tenements, which had belonged to John de LOUEYNE deceased,
till his Heir should come of age, without rendring any thing
therefore. the 23 yead of King Edward, he went along with him
into Gascoigne. And again thither with the Prince of Wales, 29
Edward III, and had command in the main body of the Prince's
Army. The following year, as the Prince retired from forraging
the Country of Berry, and was got near Romerentyne, this Knight
(whom Froissard in several places calls the Lord Bartholomew
BRECHES, Sir Bartholomew de BOUNES, de BRENNES and de BRUNES,
but such mistakes are too frequent in that Author in this and
other mens names as also in the names of places) was set upon
by a French Ambushment, but he and his troops so gallantly
behaved themselves, that they kept the French in play till the
Prince drew near, upon the sight of whom they fled to
Romerentyne (pursued by the English) and got into the Castle,
which the Prince commaned Sir John CHANDOS to Summon; but they
refusing to yield, after two desperate but fruitless assaults,
the English set it on fire which caused them to speedily
surrender. He attended the King in his expedition into France
33 Edward III and towards the end of the year 37 Edward III he
and divers other Knights of the Court were sent to Dover, to
wait upon John King of France, who, comming over to visit King
Edward, landed there the 4 of January, and was conducted by
them to Canterbury where having offered a rich Jewel at the
Shrine of Thomas Becket, he after rode to Eltham to the King,
and thence to the Savoy where he was honorably entertained.
Half a year before this, we find the King appointed the
Treasurer of his Chamber to give him 200 L upon the debt due to
him from the King for the Count de VENDEDOUR his prisoner. He
had two wives, the first was Cecily, daughter and heir to
Richard WEYLAND, by whom he had divers lands in the Counties of
Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, Huntingdon, Essex, and Hertford;
by her he had Elizabeth his daughter and Heir, married to
Edward le DESPENSER. His second wife was Margaret, sister to
Sir Bartholomew BADLISMERE, whom he left a widow; but she
afterwards married William de BURCESTER, and dyed about the 18
year of King Richard the Second. The 5 of April, 43 Edward III
he dyed, leaving Elizabeth, his daughter and Heir, then about
24 years of age.
