  From "Order of the Garter", (1670), by Elias Ashmole:
  Sir Bartholomew BURGHERSH was son of Bartholomew Lord BURGHERSH
  (frequently d istinguished 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 foundati on for his son's honor. But among these,
  enumerated in the preamble to the St atutes, 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 see n 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 Beauc hamp.  But
  this was a plain mistake of the transcriber, since this John was n ever
  married.    His first martial service was when the King went into
  Bret agne 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 f or recompence of his expenses, in this Voyage, the
  King granted him the
  Cust ody of all the lands and Tenements, which had belonged to John de
  LOUEYNE dece ased, 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 f orraging the Country of Berry, and was
  got near Romerentyne, this Knight (who m Froissard in several places calls
  the Lord Bartholomew BRECHES, Sir Barthol omew 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) w as set upon by a French
  Ambushment, but he and his troops so gallantly behave d themselves, that
  they kept the French in play till the Prince drew near, up on the sight of
  whom they fled to Romerentyne (pursued by the English) and go t into the
  Castle, which the
  Prince commaned Sir John CHANDOS to Summon; but they refusing to yield,
  after two desperate but fruitless assaults, the Engli sh set it on fire
  which caused them to speedily surrender.  He attended the K ing in his
  expedition into France 33 Edward III and towards the end of the ye ar 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 C hamber 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 El izabeth his
  daughter and Heir, married to Edward le DESPENSER. His second wife was
  Margaret, sister to Sir Bartholomew BADLIS
