IX. HENRY V. On October 21, 1344, Henry de Brailsford was made a collector of the subsidies and in August, 1345, was re-appointed with Giles de Meynell to the same office. (C. FineR. V, 393, 435). In September, 1349, an agreement was made between Henry and Isabel widow of Henry de Kniveton, concerning the ward and marriage of John, son and heir of Henry de Kniveton. (Rad. Char. 287). In April, 1356, Henry de Brailsford granted to William de Brailsford, near Tupton, and Agnes his wife a messuage and half a bovate in Brailsford. This grant was witnessed by John de Brailsford and others. (J. 409). In 1359 a William de Brailsford was one of the bailiffs of Derby. (ib.983). In 1349 Henry attested a charter of Margery, widow of William Knotting of Ashover; (ib. 124), and in 1252 witnessed the charter of Walter f. Walter de Rideware granting the manor of Boyleston to John Cockayne of Ashbourne. (ib. 107). In February, 1353, John Bozoun, lord of Edensor, granted and released to Isabel, the widow of Henry de Brailsford of Burnaston, a rent of six shillings from lands which were William del Borwes' in Burnaston. (ib. 522). It is possiblethat this Henry of Burnaston may have been the ancestor of the Ralph de Brailsford who was a collector of the subsidies in Derbyshire in 1379 (C. Fines, ix, 149), and of the Henry de Brailsford who held two fees in Blore and Grendon in 1398 of Thomas, earl of Stafford. (I.P.M. 22 Ric. II, 249b). Ralph de Brailsford was a knight of the Shire for Derbyshire in 1380, 1382 and 1383. (R. Lit. Claus. Ric. II, 355; Vol. 2, 34, 290, 414).

It has not been possible to fix thedate of Henry's death but he was succeeded at Brailsford by John Basset of Cheadle who married Henry's daughter and heir, Johanna, as his second wife. From the précis of a suit given in the Genealogist (Vol. xvii, 22, 23), we learn thatat Easter, 1424, Henry de Kniveton sued Ralph Shirley of Brailsford, the younger, for breaking into his close at Bradley. The pedigrees of both the Brailsfords and Knivetons are given. Johanna is shewn as the daughter of Henry, grand-daughter of Ralph and great-grand-daughter of Henry de Brailsford, living in 1286. Her husband is described as John Basset, the father of Thomas Basset and the grandfather of Johanna Basset, the daughter and heir of Thomas. Johanna Basset's husband must have been a Shirley for Johanna's heir was given as Ralph Shirley, a minor in ward to Ralph Shirley and Beatrice, wife of Hugh Shirley. Cox (I,449), states that Henry de Brailsford's only daughter married a Basset of Drayton and had by him three daughters one of whom married a Shirley, another a Curzon of Keddleston and the third a Kniveton. This is not correct. The Staffordshire Visitation of 1583 shows Johanna, daughter and heir of Henry de Brailsford,as the wife of John Basset of Cheadle, mother of Thomas Basset and grandmotherof Johanna Basset, Thomas's heir, married to Ralph de Shirley. (S. Coll. III, ii, 48).  This Ralph was a collector of the Fifteenths in Leicester in January,1420, and was Sheriff of Notts. and Derbyshire in the same year. (C. Fine, XIV, 316, 358). His son Ralph Shirley was a minor in 1424 but was returned in 1431as holding half a fee in Brailsford. (F. Sids. 24). In May, 1486, John Shirleydied holding the manors of Shirley, Brailsford and Hoon in Derbyshire; Staunton Harold, Ratcliffe on Wreath and Long Whatton, Leics.; and Newton Regis, Warwickshire. (I.P.M. Vol. i, No. 89). John was followed by his son Ralph who, in January, 1500, was executor of the will of William Ashby. In November, 1497, a William Basset died holding with his wife Johanna six acres in Hollington of Ralph Shirley as of his manor of Brailsford.

VIII. RALPH was employed on several occasions in the king's service. On November 6, 1319 he was commissioned, with Robert de Touk, to levy the scutage in Derbyshire for the army ofScotland. (C. Fin. III, 10) On October 20, 1324 Henry de Fauconberg was ordered to hand over to him the office of Sheriff as from Michaelmas last; but on November 12th of the same year Ralph was instructed to meddle no further with the shrievalty as de Fauconberg had only been sent to Yorkshire temporarily. (ib. 309, 316). In 1336 he and Richard, Foljambe were appointed the collectors of thesubsidies and again in the following year. (ib. IV, 481, 505; V. 52, 54). In 1330 he was called upon to prove his right to free warren in Brailsford and claimed that it had been granted to Henry, his father. (Q.W. 141b). In 1337 Thomas de Brailsford, rector of Brailsford, and John Barrington granted to Ralph de Brailsford and Margery, his wife, 128 acres of land, 4 acres of meadow, 64 acres of pasture, 25 acres of wood, 40 shillings with half a mill in "Chesterfield inDerby", Barlow and Dronfield together with the manor of Wingerworth. (F.H.D. II, 317). About 1330 he attested deeds of Ralph de Moungoye and John de Bakepuze. (J. 397, 2321). He was dead by 1344 and was succeeded by his son Henry. ~1287 Margery (NMN-Ralph) Brailsford Name Prefix:<NPFX> Mrs. <1259 - <1304 Henry IV De Brailsford 45 45 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sir

VII. HENRY IV was possibly a minor at his father's death as it was returned in 1275 that Walter Achard, by Maurice de St. Maur, seneschal of Edmund the king's brother, had taken two and a half marcsfor respite of knighting. (Rot. Hun. I, 59a). In 1297 Henry held of the said Edmund one fee in Brailsford, with its church; Unstone in Dronfield, with the church there and Wingerworth. (I.P.M. I, 141, 303, 312). In 1280 Sir Henry de Brailsford, with others, held an enquiry into a dispute between Burton abbey and its tenants. (C Bur. 85). In 1281 a composition was made between the same abbey and Henry de Brailsford, Robert de Stafford, Henry de Chandos and William de Caverswall and their tenants about enclosing waste lands. (Rad. Ch. xii). In 1283Henry and Robert de Monjoye held an inquisition upon the action of Robert de S. Andrew who, as it was alleged, came to Borrowash (Burgh) by Spondon and carried away the goods of the Master of S. Lazarus of Burton. (C.I.M. 1298). In 1291Elizabeth, a daughter of Henry de Brailsford, was married to John son and heirof Sir Henry de Chandos. John received one hundred pounds and all Henry's lands in Radbourne were settled upon Elizabeth. (Rad. Ch. xvii, xviij). A second daughter, Katharine, is said to have married Nicholas de Longford. (C. Cock. f. 234, n). On April 30, 1302, Henry and his heirs had a grant of free warren in all their demesne lands in Brailsford and Wingerwortb. (C. Chart. R. III, 24). Inthe following year he was appointed to collect the aid for the marriage of theking's daughter. (Ab. R.O. 128). Between 1272 and 1304 he appears as a witnessin several deeds. (J. 113, 335, 928, 1568, 2287, 2712; C. Ryd. 286). The Rogerde Brailsford, chaplain, mentioned in 1316 and 1333 was probably his son. (Rad. Ch. 6, 7). The exact date of his death has not been established, but he was succeeded by his son Ralph. <1223 - <1260 Henry III De Brailsford 37 37 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sir

VI. HENRY III. I have dated the death ofHenry II 1242-3 but it is not certain. In that year a Henry de Brailsford heldhalf a fee in Brailsford. (B.F. 994)., Henry f. Robert the father of Henry IIIpresented the church of Brailsford to Darley and between July, 1241 and February, 1245, a controversy arose over the presentation to this benefice between Walter, the abbot, and Henry, lord of Brailsford. The disputant must have been, one would imagine, the son of the donor. The date of this dispute is fixed by the intervention of Hugh de Pateshull, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield from 1240-44. The matter was settled by the abbot agreeing that the right of presentation should remain to Henry and his heirs for ever. (C. Darley 137). In 1252-3 Henry acted as Escheator of Derbyshire. (R. Lit. Claus. 1251-53, 38, 213, 377). In1254 be gave a receipt for eight marcs which he had received from prior William of Tutbury out of the 16 marcs due to him for a fine and concord made betweenthem in the "County" of Nottingham after a duel waged, for services and customs which Henry claimed in the prior's manor of Ednaston. In August a receipt wasgiven for the full sum. (C. Tut. ccxxi). He is said to have married Isabel, sister and heir of Ralph Picot. (H. B. 94). He witnessed various deeds between 1250-58. (J. 332, 1561, and Radbourne Ch. 15). The date of his death is uncertain. In July, 1287 a Robert de Brailsford was sued by Adeline, widow of Atropius de Osmaston. It would seem that, although outlawed, he was not guilty of the murder. (C.I.M. 1416). In 1284 Laurence de Rolleston, Robert de Brailsford and other tenants of Etwall were sued by William f. Henry de Legh for lands which Ralph Pipard had given Robert de Legh in free marriage with his sister. The Thomas de Brailsford, rector of Brailsford, living in 1281-1337 may have been a son ofHenry, as well as the above mentioned Robert. (F.H.D. II. 317; C. Der. 137. d.; J. 366). ~1230 Isabel Picot ~1183 - >1259 Elias De Jorz 76 76 ~1183 - >1259 Isolda De Grendon 76 76 <1167 - BET 1242 AND 1243 Henry II De Brailsford Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sir

V. HENRY II. The date of his accession to his father's estates is uncertain. It certainly occurred before 1199. He confirmed his father's grant to Sempringham the witnesses being Hugh f. Nicholas (de Culland?) and Hugh the grantor's brother (Rut. MSS. 54). A Henry de Brailsford occurs in 1188 among the witnesses of a grant by Serlo de Grendon. (J. 396). In 1216 he and Robert de Vernon were with earl Ferrars in the king's service and were especially protected from any molestation by the king's writ. (R. Lit. Claus. 17 John). Early in the thirteenth century William, earl Ferrars; Reginaldde Karliolo, dapifer; Henry de Brailsford; William de Grendon; Nicholas de Cavelonde and others witnessed the agreement made between B(artholornew), prior ofTutbury, and Hugh de Okeover with respect to the latter's grant of Snelston tohis brother Geoffrey. (C. Tut. cccv J. 2125). Henry's association with the Grendons arose from his marriage with Isolda, one of the three daughters and co-heirs of Serlo de Grendon. (H.B. 94). It is possible that after Henry's death hiswidow was re-married to Elias de Jorz, for, in 1259, Elias de Jorz and Isolda,his wife, granted to Ralph Bugge 31/2 bovates in Woodthorpe. (D.F. 1259). In 1235-6 Henry de Brailsford granted certain lands to Mary, widow of Ralph de Brailsford, of whom I know nothing. (F.H.D. I. 449). Henry appears as a witness to various deeds. (J. 135, 1351, 1520) and died about 1242-3. He left four sons; Henry, his heir; (A) Engenulf; (B.) William, Roger and Serlo. He had also a daughter Hawise (C.).

(A.) Engenulf married Hawise f. Robert de Duin. (H.B. 94),and dowered her with land in Bradley, part of his mother's inheritance I presume. Hawise appears to have been thrice married, for after 1233 she was the wifeof Walter de Stretton, and about 1258 was re-married to Alexander de Ramsey. After the death of Serlo f. Serlo de Grendon, Engenulf f. Henry de Brailsford confirmed to Dale the gift which William de Grendon and Serlo his brother, Engenulf's uncles, had made of land in Ockbrook. (C. Dale 15). About 1232 Engeluf deBrailsford attested a grant by William f. William le Burgulun to Thornas de Curzon. (J. 1503). He also witnessed a charter of Nicholas, prior of Tutbury, with Sir Robert de Ashbourne, seneschal of earl Ferrars, Nicholas de Caveland and Adam his brother. (F.H.D. IV, 159; J. 2718). He appears to have had a son of the same name as, before 1259, Richard f. Hervey de Stretton remitted to Engenulfall his rights in the advowson of Dronfield Church. This grant was witnessed by Matthew de Haversegg; Leodegar de Dive; Robert de Duin and others. (H.B. 93).Pegge states that Engenulf was the brother of the existing rector. An entry inthe Tutbury chartulary supports this as Sir Henry f. Engelard de Brailsford remitted to the priory all his claims in the vill of Osmaston, except the patronage of the Chapel there which pertained to the mother church of Brailsford. (C. Tut. cc). Henry de Brailsford and Engyllard de Brailsford both attested the grant of Roger de Bradley to King's Mead about 1296. (J. 1520).

(B.) William. The chief authority for giving William, Serlo and Roger as sons of Henry is the statement in the History of Beauchief (94), where it is also said that Roger was rector of Dronfield. (I.P.M. VI). Alexander de Curtlinge granted to Roger f. Roger de Brailsford a messuage in Hatton. (J. 1361). In 1263 a Robert brother of Henry de Brailsford is mentioned in the Pipe Roll. (Y. 46 Hen. III).

(C.) Hawise the daughter was married to Gerard de Fanecurt who, in 1242-3, held halfa fee of a knight in Wingerworth. (B.F. 995). <1371 - ~1443 Ralph Shirley 72 72 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sir
