  From "Order of the Garter", (1670), by Elias Ashmole:
  Sir Bartholomew BURGHER SH was son of Bartholomew Lord BURGHERSH
  (frequently distinguished by the tit le of Senior) and Elizabeth, one of
  the daughters and co-heirs of Theobald de VERDON.  His father was first
  summoned to Parliment I Edward III.  A person of great council and valor
  which laid a strong foundation for his son's honor . having been several
  times
  constituted Constable of Dover and the Cinque-Po rts, he was also made
  Seneschal and Custos of Ponthieu and Montriell, Admiral towards the West,
  Chamberlain to the King, Lieutenant of the Tower of London, one of the
  Custos's of England and frequently employed in Embassies, and by s ome
  (through mistake) made one of the First Founders of the Order of the
  Gar ter.  But among these, enumerated in the preamble to the Statutes,
  both of In stitution, (with their Exemplars) and those of King Henry V, he
  is called Bar tholomeus 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, an d filius (so also le filz) joined to Dom.
  Johannes de Beauchamp.  But this wa s a plain mistake of the transcriber,
  since this John was never married.
