Transcriber's Note

The Family Trees or Pedigrees in this book have been supplied as .png images. If readers have difficulty seeing them on mobile or handheld devices, they are available as text in the .txt version.

The ligature æ is not necessarily consistent in its use, e.g. 'mediæval' is used more in Part I of this book, but not in Part II; 'mediaeval' is used in both parts.

The original book contained a Foreword, which is not present in the scans from which this book derives.

'Foreword ... page 7' has been removed from the Table of Contents.

Page 51: Text and table were slightly re-arranged for better flow.

Page 138: 'Lincolnshire' could be an error for 'Lincolnescire' or 'Lincolnescira', both appearing on page 137.
