It is suggested that Walter Hussey (H28/1.2) was given land in Somersetshire as his portion of the spoils of conquest.  He and his brother, William Hussey (H28/1.1), were listed as residents in the vicinity of Bath, Somersetshire in "Domesday Book" compiled in 1088.  Walter Hussey (H28/1.2) held Little Sutton manor "of William de Mohun," according to the volume.

He is believed to be the father of:

        Geoffroy Hussey         (H27/2.1)       born about 1075
        Godfrey Hussey          (H27/2.2)       born about 1080
        John Hussey             (H27/2.3)       born about 1085
        William Hussey          (H27/2.4)       born about 1090

Geoffroy Hussey (H27/2.1), presumed son of Walter Hussey (H28/1.2), was born about 1080, probably in Somersetshire.  It is believed that he was married first about 1105 and that his wife died about 1130.  He was remarried about 1148 to Gundreda de Warene (W27/1.1).  It is believed that he died about 1154.

Gundreda de Warene Hussey (W27/1.1) was apparently much younger than her husband because she continued to live in 1199.  In that year she obtained from King John the wardship of her son, Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2) and the right to marry, according to "Medieval Deeds of Bath and District."  She gave a charter to St. Denis Priory of Southampton about 1200, according to "Christopher Hatton's Book of Seals."

Children born to Geoffroy Hussey (H27/2.1) and Gundreda de Warene Hussey (W27/1.1) include:

        Godfrey Hussey          (H26/1.1)       born about 1150
        Geoffroy Hussey         (H26/1.2)       born about 1152
        Robert Hussey           (H26/1.3)       born about 1154

Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1), son of Geoffroy Hussey (H27/2.1) and Gundreda de Warene Hussey (W27/1.1), was born about 1150 in Somersetshire.  He was married about 1175, wife's name Margery.  He made a grant about 1210 which was recorded in "Medieval Deeds of Bath and District" as "Grant in free alms by Godfrey Hose with the assent of Margery, his wife, and in the counsel of his heir and other sons, to the brothers and infirm of the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath, of his land in Tatwick at Stratford; to be held freely, saving the royal service.  Witnesses: Henry Hose of Wick; Walter, his son; Robert Hose of Charlcombe (also believed to be his son; Adam Walensis, Richard de Ford and many others."

The seal on the deed was composed of a "pointed oval, white wax, showing a boot or legging embroidered on its upper part by the knee."  The inscription read "SIGILVM GODEFRIDI HOSATI."

Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1) held land in Tatwick and was involved in a fine, (final agreement for the possession of land), with his grandson, Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) concerning it in 1227, "according to "Somerset Feet of Fines."  Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1) was a witness to two deeds made by his brother, Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2) about 1225 in Somersetshire.  He died about 1228.

Children born to Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1) and Margery Hussey include:

        William Hussey          (H25/1.1)       born about 1177

William Hussey (H25/1.1), son of Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1) and Margery Hussey, was born about 1177 in Somersetshire.  He made a confirmation deed about 1225 of the deed of his father made about 1214 of two acres of land in Statford "to God and the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath."  The confirmation deed read:

"Confirmation by William Hose of the grant which Godfrey Hose, his father, made in free alms to God and the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath, and the brothers and sisters serving God there, of two acres of land on Stratford; confirmation also of the grant which John Hose (John Hussey (H25/1.2), his brother) made in free alms to them of one acre of land lying by the wood of Walter of Wick (Walter Hussey (23/1.3) and extending in the valley of Sizcumb above the land of Jordan (Jordan Hussey H25/1.3), his brother."

William Hussey (H25/1.1) was later known as "William Hose of Ashton."

Children born to him include:

        Henry Hussey            (H24/1.1)       born about 1195
        Godfrey Hussey          (H24/1.2)       born about 1198

Henry Hussey (H24/1.1), son of William Hussey (H25/1.1), was born about 1195, probably in Somersetshire.  He was married about 1220, wife's name Agnes, according to "Medieval Deeds of Bath and District."

It is believed that he received Ashton manor, Somersetshire from his father about 1215.  He had acquired property at Tatwick, Somersetshire before 1219.  In that year he was found to be the nearest heir to Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2), his great-uncle, to his lands in Figheldean manor and Stapleford manor, Wiltshire.  Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) "of Stapleford" was a witness to a deed about 1227 from Robert Canutus to the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath.

In 1227 Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) granted part of Ashton manor to a monastary, according to "Somerset Feet of Fines."

About 1230 Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) deeded land to the hospital himself.  The deed read, "Grant in free alms by Henry Hose to God and the House of St. John in Bath, and the brothers and sisters serving God there, of four acres of land in his land of Cold Ashton, to be held quit of all service, royal or otherwise."

Witnesses to the deed include William Hussey (H25/1.1), his father; James Hussey (H24/1.7), his brother; William Hussey (H24/1.5), his brother; Drew Hussey (H24/1.6), his brother; Walter Hussey "of Wick" (H23/1.3), his son; and Henry Hussey "of Charlecombe."  The seal attached to the deed showed a triangular shield bearing a leg wearing a leather boot and spur.  The inscription read "ENRIC HOSA."

He was a witness to several deeds in Somersetshire between 1225 and 1250.  He acknowledged a deed about 1228 from Geoffroy Hussey (H24/1.3), his brother, with the consent of Margery, his wife, and heirs, to William Hussey (H24/1.5), "his cognatus (kinsman) for his service and homage" to property in Somersetshire.  Shortly afterwards he was a witness to a confirmation of the deed.  Soon afterwards he was a witness to the deed of his son, Walter Hussey (H23/1.3) "of Swainswick" conveying two acres of land to the Hospital of St. John in Bath.  During the same period Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) "of Tatwick" witnessed a deed of William Hussey (H25/1.1) in which he confirmed the deed of his father, Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1) conveying land to the Hospital of St. John Baptist at Bath.  About the same time he witnessed a deed from Godfrey Hussey "of Tatwick" "to God and the Hospital of St. John, Bath; four perches of arable land."  Contemporaneous was his acknowledgment of a grant from Godfrey Hussey (H24/1.2), his brother, "with the consent of Matilda Hussey, his wife and heirs" of rent from property in Somersetshre.  He was witness to a deed before 1249 in which Adam Walensis conveyed certain property in Somersetshire to the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath.  Sometime between 1239 and 1263 Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) witnessed a grant of Walter Hussey (H23/1.3) "with the consent of his wife, Agnes" to property in the town of Wells to the Hospital of St. John Baptist at Bath.

About 1236 Henry Hussey (H24/2.1) granted all his land in Bathampton to James Hussey (H23/1.1), his son, with remainder (hereditary succession) to go to his son, Henry Hussey (H23/1.2).  Since Henry Hussey "of Charlcombe" was a witness to this deed it is concluded that Henry Hussey (H24/2.1) "of Tatwick" was the father of James Hussey (H23/1.1) and Henry Hussey (H23/1.2).

The deed read: "Grant by Henry Hosatus with the consent of Agnes, his wife, to James Hosatus, son, of all his land in the vill of Hampton, at the annual rent of a pair of gilded spurs at Easter, with remainder in default of heirs to James and his wife to his brother, Henry Hosatus."

Henry Hussey (H24/2.1), "undoubtedly a descendant of Walter Hussey of 'Domesday Book' held Little Sutton manor of Reynold de Mohun" in 1242-43," according to "History of Wiltshire."  "Hussey Record" states that "the Wiltshire branch of the Hussey family is descended from Walter Hussey who in 1086 was sub-tenant at Sutton Veney of William de Mohun and the 'collector of the king's two-third at Malmesbury.'"  The entry relating to Sutton Veney in "Domesday Book" records:

"William de Mouin holds Sutone of the King, and Walter of him.  Colo held it in the time of King Edward the Confessor, and it paid geld (tax) for 5 hides.  There is land for 4 ploughs.  Of this there are in demesne 3 hides and 1 virgate of land and there are 2 ploughs and 3 serfs; and there are 3 villeins (freemen) and 6 bordars (boarders) with 2 ploughs.  There is a mill paying 4s., and 4 acres of meadow and 2 acres of woodland. The pasture is 1/2 league long and 1 league broad.  It was worth 4 pounds, it is now worth 100s."

In 1242-43 Henry Hussey (H24/2.1) "held land of the king" including 1/5 knight's fee in Barley (Berleigh) manor which he sublet to Roger Berleigh, his cousin."  In the same year he sublet Corsley manor which he had inherited from Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.3) to Robert Whatley.

When his brother, James Hussey (H24/1.7) died in 1249 an inquisition was held to determine ownership of certain properties in Wiltshire.  Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) was mentioned as holding Stapleford manor in the document:

"The wood of Norrige, which Henry Huse says belongs to his manor of Stapleford, was taken into the hand of the king for this reason; because James Huse, deceased, died seised of the said wood of Norrige, who held of the said King in chief seven pounds of rent in Chippenham, and a certain assart in Norrige, for which he paid to the king every year 16d., whereupon Sir John de Vernon, escheator, took the said wood, with his other lands and tenements, into the king's hand, after the death of the said James Huse."

James Hussey (H20/1.1) was holding 2/3 of Batheaston manor, Somersetshire by 1343, according to "Somerset Feet of Fines."  William de Wytefeld, who held Batheaston manor in 1329 "acknowledged James' fealty for the tenements he held of him there in 1330," according to "Medieval Deeds of Bath and District."  The volume records: "James claimed suit of court from a grantee in 1336, and John Cole, named as life tenant of the manor in 1329, ordered his tenants there in 1341 to do homage to James. He was a man of some standing in Bath, and in the period when he was advanced to knighthood, through his influence the king's pardon and authority were obtained to use properties which had fallen into the corporation's hands after the 'Black Death' to endow the chantry in the church of St. Mary de Stalles."  Reference was made to James Hussey (H20/1.1) in "Patent Rolls" in 1385 as "having granted rents out of burgages in the city of Bath, without a license, to a chantry at Hampton, Somersetshire, for the maintenance of a chaplain."

 On April 7, 1341 James Hussey (H20/1.1) and John Hussey (H20/1.2), his brother, received a confirmation deed for land at Bathampton from Thomas de Acton.  The deed read, "Confirmation and warranty by Thomas de Acton to James Husee of Hampton, junior, and John, his brother, of the tenancy for term of their lives in the lands at Bathampton which formerly belonged to John de Acton, his brother."

Recorded about the same time was a release received by James Hussey (H20/1.1).  The release read, "Release for term of the grantee's life by Thomas de Chermbury and Clarice, his wife, to James Husee of Hampton, junior, of the rent of 21d. which the said James was bound to pay out of the lands and tenements whch belonged to John de Acton and were then of the grantor's fee."

He was appointed one of the Barons of the Exchequer April 16, 1350, according to "Patent Rolls."  He was knighted between 1351 and 1354 by King Edward III, and at that time held Bathampton manor, Somersetshire inherited from his father.

James Hussey (H20/1.1) "of the Barons of the Exchequer" received a grant of 60s per annum for his wardship of a messuage and lands in Somersetshire February 20, 1359, according to "Patent Rolls."  He was the escheator for Somersetshire on February 9, 1360.

It is believed that Katherine Baret Hussey (B20/1.1) died about 1355.  He was remarried about 1356, second wife's name, Margaret.

James Hussey (H20/1.1) last appeared alive in the legal records of Bath when he witnessed a lease there March 28, 1357.  James Hussey (H20/1.1) died about 1366, survived by Margaret Hussey, who was still alive in 1396 when her claim to a dower interest in Bathampton manor and Batheaston manor into which her step-grandson Thomas Berleigh (B18/1.1) was admitted.

On September 20, 1384 James Hussey (H20/1.1) was mentioned in a lease from Thomas Berleigh (B18/1.1) which read, "Lease for life in reversion by Thomas Berlee, lord of Hampton, cousin (grandson) and heir of James Husee, knight, to Richard Cleware of Bath of a messuage with a courtyard and a garden, two meadows, one on the north and one on the south side of the same garden, an adjoining close and six acres of arable land, all in Bathampton, which John Husee, brother of the aforesaid James, and Isabel, his wife, formerly held for term of their lives, to hold after the death of the said Isabel at the annual rent of two geese at the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Mary for all service, saving suit at the lessor's court at Hampton twice yearly."

James Hussey, probably the father (H21/1.1), witnessed the deed.

About 1255, presumably after the death of Walter Hussey (H23/1.3), his son, Alexander Hussey (H22/3.1), gave a confirmation deed to the hospital regarding the residence in Wells his father had transferred to the hospital.  The deed read, "Confirmation in free alms by Alexander Hose, son of Walter Hose of Wick, to God and the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath, of a messuage in the town of Wells on the east side of St. Andrew, which Walter Hose, his father granted to the said hospital, viz: that which Richard Portefer held between the messuage which Robert le Quarreure held and that which Gabbados held."  Inscription on the seal read, "S' ALEXANDRI HVSE."

In 1249, when his uncle, James Hussey (H24/1.7), died holding a claim to a portion of Norridge Wood, Henry Hussey (H24/1.1), his father, contested the claim, stating that it was a part of his Stapleford manor.

"Agreement between the brothers of the Hospital of St. John Baptist in Bath serving God there, and Robert Canutus of Swainswick, concerning an exchange of three acres of land in the field within Wick and Tatwick of the fee which belonged to Godfrey Hose of which two acres lie on the west side of Staford, which Godfrey granted to the brothers in free alms, and the third lay in Kissecumba, called sarpe acra, extending in Hunespinam to the wood which belonged to Walter (Hussey) of Wick, which John, son of Godfrey Hose granted to the brothers in free alms--these the brothers have granted to the said Robert to be held of him by him and his heirs in perpetual exchange for three acres lying in the field on the eastern side of Wick, of which two lie nearest to Bailbrook and the third, lying in Caldelege and extending along the ditch David Canutus held.  In return for this exchange the brothers have given Robert an ox worth 8s and 10s in recognition.  Witnesses: Walter Hose of Wick; Adam Walensis; John, his son; William of Eston; Henry Hose of Charlcombe; Richard de Ford; Swein, his son-in-law; Robert of Littleton; John, son of Fulk and many others."

Children born to John Hussy (H25/1.2) and Margery Hussey are unknown.

Godfrey Hussey (H25/1.4), son of Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1), was born about 1190 in Somersetsire.  He was a witness to a deed of his brother, John Hussey (H25/1.2) about 1225 in Somersetshire.  About the same time he witnessed a confirmation deed made by his brother, William Hussey (H25/1.1), also in Somersetshire.  About 1230 he witnessed a deed of his nephew, Godfrey Hussey (H24/1.2).  Of Godfrey Hussey (H25/1.4) nothing more is known.

Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2), son of Geoffroy Hussey (H27/1.1) and Gundreda de Warene Hussey (W27/1.1), was born about 1152 in Somersetshire.  He was granted Fighelden manor and Stapleford manor in Wiltshire by King Richard I between 1189 and 1199, according to "History of Wiltshire."  He later acquired Corsley manor, Wiltshire.  He was a witness to a grant by Bishop Jocelin to Henry de Soleby of the church at Fighelden at an annual rent to the cathedral about 1185, according to "Sarum Charters and Documents."  Sarum was the orignal name of Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2) was fined l/2 mark in 1198-99 for "waste in the forest," according to "History of Wiltshire."  His wardship and choice in marriage was given to his mother in 1199, probably shortly after the death of his father.

Apparently Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2) died about 1219 without progeny.  His great-nephew, Henry Hussey (H24/1.1), was found to be his heir in an inquisition held at that time.  King Henry III later confirmed the grant of Fighelden manor to his heirs.  In 1227 Henry Hussey (H24/1.1) confirmed the dower of the widow of Geoffroy Hussey (H26/1.2) to lands in Corsley manor, according to "History of Wiltshire."  She had remarried to Geoffroy Savage prior to this time.

Robert Hussey (H26/1.3), believed to be a son of Geoffroy Hussey (H27/1.1) and Gundreda de Warene Hussey (W27/1.1), was born about 1154 in Somersetshire.  He was a witness to a deed made about 1215 by Godfrey Hussey (H26/1.1), his brother, to land at Tatwick.  He signed the deed as "Robert of Charlcombe."

Godfrey Hussey (H27/2.2), son of Walter Hussey (H28/1.2), was born about 1080, probably in Somersetshire.  Of this individual nothing more is known.

John Hussey (H27/2.3), son of Walter Hussey (H28/1.2), was born about 1085, probably in Somersetshire, by an interpretation of references in "Visitation of Shropshire, 1623."  From this volume it is believed that he inherited land in Shropshire from his father.

Children born to John Hussey (H27/2.3) include:

        Adam Hussey             (H26/3.1)       born about 1115
        William Hussey          (H26/3.2)       born about 1120

Adam Hussey (H26/3.1), son of John Hussey (H27/2.3), was born about 1115, probably in Shropshire.  It is believed that he inherited his father's land.

Apparently Adam Hussey (H26/3.1) instituted an annual church contribution which was bound on his heirs for 100 years, according to a legal document reproduced in "Visitation of Shropshire, 1623."  The document read:

"Henricus dei grac' etc. Omnibus etc. Sciatis quod inspeximus quoddam scriptum finalis concordiae inter Ric'um Campden vtriusq' iuris baccalaurium et decanum liberae capellae om'e beatae Mariae Salop et Adam Huijse Ar. nuper Dominu' de Adbrighton Husee tanquam Matrici Eccli'ae suae liberae capellae regia praed'c'ae pro decimis etc. eidem Capaeeae accedentibus de capella Adbrighton Husee pro 100 annis conceserit annua'm pensionem soluend' annuatim prout in originali carta specificatur praed'c'i Tamen Ric'us et canonici sui de termino perpetuitatem consitituere cupientes prdui Adam pro se et haered' suis et pr'd'c'us Will'us Concesserunt prdictum annua'm pensionem annuatim soluend' vt praemittitur praefatis Canonicis et eorum successoribus, vt pro sua parte omnium decimorum et obventionum depred'c'ae capella regiae etc.

        Richard Hussey          (H24/1.1)       born about 1170

Richard Hussey (H24/1.1), son of Ralph Hussey (H25/1.1), was born about 1170 probably in Shropshire.  He lived during the reign of King Henry II, according to "Visitation of Shropshire, 1623."  A Latin document reproduced in that volume apparently relates Walter Hussey (H28/1.2), William Hussey (H27/2.4), Richard Hussey (H26/2.1) and Richard Hussey (H24/1.1).  Accordingly Richard Hussey (H24/1.1) was a great-great grandson of Walter Hussey (H28/1.2), a great-grandson of Walter Hussey (H28/1.2), a great-grandson of William Hussey (H27/2.2) and a first cousin, twice removed, to Richard Hussey (H26/2.1).  The document reads:

"Sciant p'ntes et futui quod Richardus filius Will'i de Baldreton et haeredes sui terram quam haereditario tenet de Waltero Huse et Haeredibus suis in villa de Balderton non debent nec dare nec ad term Committere ad nocumentum d'ci Walteri haeredum suorum. Sanz dat'."

A probable translation of the document reads:  "Know all men, present and future, that Richard, son of William of Balderton, and heirs to his land, which right they have by inheritance from Walter Hussey and his heirs, should not lease nor grant their land in the village of Balderton to anyone who is not an heir of Walter Hussey."

Children born to Richard Hussey (H23/1.1) include:

        John Hussey             (H22/1.1)       born about 1260

A Latin document appeared in "Visitation to Shropshire, 1623" in which John Hussey (H22/1.1) apparently gave land in Adbrighton Hussey manor in 1295 to Hugo Bernard. The document read:
 
 

"Conuentio inter Joh'em filium John'is Husey Dominum de Adbritten et Hugonem Bernard Burgensem Salop' vizt' quod praed'ctus Joh'es dedit Praed'c'o Hugoni estouerium in Bosco suo de Adbritton Husey ad domos suas et Sepes faciend.  Testibus Richardo de Letton mil.; Will'o Banester, Ric'o de Letton; Will'o de Williscot et alijs.

In 1329 he signed two documents transferring land in Adbrighton Hussey manor to his brother, John Hussey (H21/1.4).  The documents, written in Latin, were reproduced in "Visitation of Shropshire, 1623."  They read:

"Sciant p'ntes et futuri quod ego Ric'us Husee de Adbrighton Husee dedi Joh'i Husee fratri meo et Ceciliae vxori eius placea vasti in Adbrighton iuxta cimiterium quam placeam habuit ex dono meo etc."

Dat. apud Adbrighton Husee ao. 2 E. 3."

A probable translation of the documents reads:

"Know all men, present and future, that I, Richard Hussey of Adbrighton Hussey gave to John Hussey, my brother, and his wife, Cecilia, a large place in Adbrighton near the cemetery, the place where he now lives, as a gift from me, etc."

"Witnesses: William Banester, Roger Banester, John of Smethcote and others.  Given in the second year of the reign of King Edward III." (1329)

"Witnesses: William Banester of Smethcote, John de Lee, Roger Banester of Hadenhall, Thomas Hussey (H21/1.3) and others.  Given at Adbrighton Hussey in the second year of the reign of King Edward III." (1329)

On October 1, 1337 "Richard Hussey of Pydyngton" received the king's protection of his property on "going beyond the seas in the king's service," according to "Calendar of State Papers."

Richard Hussey (H21/1.1) was robbed of a "mazer, (drinking cup made of hardwood), value 20s and other goods, value 6s 8d by Philip de Lakene of Shropshire in 1353, according to "Patent Rolls."  Because of "his good service in divers wars" Philip de Lakene was pardoned of this and other offenses by the king.

Richard Hussey (H21/1.1) died about 1360.

On March 22, 1360 he was collector of a special levy imposed by the king to finance his wars, according to "Patent Rolls."  Richard Hussey (H20/1.1) died about November 1395.  Joan Corbett Hussey (C20/1.1) died in 1423, according to "Hussey Record."

Children born to Richard Hussey (H20/1.1) and Joan Corbett Hussey (C20/1.1) include:

        Richard Hussey          (H19/1.1)       born about 1360

Richard Hussey (H19/1.1), son of Richard Hussey (H20/1.1) and Jean Corbett Hussey (C20/1.1), was born at Adbrighton Hussey manor, Shropshire.  He was married about 1398 to Alicia Browne (B19/1.1), daughter of John Browne (B20/1.1) of "Morfeeld," according to "Visitation of Shropshire, 1623."  On November 17, 1395 in an inquisition held at Shrewsbury, Shropshire it was determined that Richard Hussey (H19/1.1) held Adbrighton Hussey manor, according to "Calendar of Inquisitions."

Richard Hussey (H19/1.1) served King Henry IV in the Battle of Shrewsbury, perhaps the bloodiest battle in English history.  The battle was fought on land that was owned by Richard Hussey (H19/1.1) and was the theme of William Shakespeare's account of Hotspur in "Henry IV" in which Falstaff appears on the side of the king together with "Prince Hal" (later Henry V) who slays his arch-rival, Hotspur.

Henry Percy, called "Hotspur" by his enemies because of his habit of rushing headlong into every battle, was the eldest son of the first Earl of Northumberland.  He and King Henry IV were bosom friends until a dispute arose between them.  In the exchange King Henry IV called Henry Percy a traitor, struck him on the face and drew his sword on him.  Percy is said to have answered the defiance with the words, "Not here, but on the field."

This confrontation occurred late in 1402, and in 1403 Hotspur issued a proclamation in Cheshire stating that King Richard II was a liar and summoned the inhabitants to his standard.  He was joined by many noblemen and their soldiers.  On July 21, 1402 his army arrived at Castle Foregate, Shrewsbury, but found that King Henry IV and his troops had arrived before him.

He retired with his army to a point about three and one-half miles from Shrewsbury on the land of Richard Hussey (H19/1.1) to plan his strategy.  The king shortly ordered the attack, and the intense carnage was described by the old chronicler Waurin thus:

"There was such a slaughter of men whose bodies lay soulless that the like had not been seen in England, and those who were alive did all in their power to kill each other, so that it was a horrible and dreadful thing to see; nor was any so bold that he did not tremble with horror and fear, for as I have heard tell by mouth and by writing it is not found in any book of this chronicle that there was ever in the kingdom of England since the conquest by Duke William so horrible a battle or so much Christian blood spilled as in this of which we are speaking.

Henry Percy was killed in the battle.  Leaders of his forces who did not die in battle were executed the following day, and the troops were dispersed, ordered to return to their homes.  After the battle Hotspur's body was decapitated and quartered.  The quarters were sent to be displayed on the public squares of London, Bristol, Newcastle-on-Tyne and Chester.  His head was sent to York to be displayed on a pole.

On the site of the battle Richard Hussey (H19/1.1) gave two acres of land for a memorial to those soldiers who were killed in the battle, and King Henry IV provided the funds to erect Battlefield College, a church and a school.  Battlefield College was described in "The Antiquary:"

"Battlefield College stands on the spot where the fight was the fierciest, and near a pit in which a large number of bodies of the slain was interred.  The chuch is commonly attributed to Henry IV, but it was really erected by Roger Ive, a zealous Lancastrian priest, and Rector of Fitz and Richard Hussey of Adbrighton Hussey manor, who obtained charters from this King for this purpose.  The earliest document extant is dated October 28, 1406.  It is a license to Richard Hussey, Lord of Adbrighton Hussey, on whose property the battle was fought, to assign two acres of land to Ive to celebrate divine services daily in a chapel to be erected there for the souls of the king and of those who were slain in the battle and were there buried.  The church was duly begun, and was finished in 1409, when the king by letters patent established it as a charity of eight chaplains, and endowed it with the advowson of Michaelskirke in Lancashire.  He afterwards added as a further endowment the advowsons of Iddesale and St. Michael with the castle of Salop.  This charter of Henry IV, dated March 27, 1410 was confirmed by Pope John XXIII in 1411 and in sequence by Henry V, Henry VI, Henry VII and Henry VIII."

The college existed for 140 years under seven wardens.  Roger Ive, the founder, served until 1447.  His successors were Henry Bastard, 1447 to 1454; Roger Phillips, 1454 to 1478; Adam Grafton, 1478 to about 1520; John Hussey (H17/1.6), grandson of Richard Hussey (H19/1.1), about 1520 to 1524; Humphrey Thomas, 1525 to 1535; and John Hussey, unidentified, but perhaps (H17/1.6), held the post from 1535 until it was dissolved in 1550.

Inside the church the coats of arms of some of the illustrious individuals who participated in the battle are displayed.  On the north side are located the arms of King Henry IV, Earl of Dunbar, Sir Hugh Stanley, Sir John Cockayne, Sir Nicholas Gausel, Sir Hugh Mortimer, Sir Hugh Shirley, Sir Robert Malvausin, Sir Madoc Kynaston and Sir Richard Sandford.  On the south side are mounted the arms of Henry, Prince of Wales; Edmund, Earl of Stafford; Sir John Clifton, Sir Walter Blount, Sir Robert Gausel, Sir John Massey, Sir Thomas Wendesley, Sir Reginald Mottershead, Sir Jenkins Hanmer and Sir Richard Hussey (H19/1.1).
