Mother of Richard Fitzjohn.—Can any of your readers inform me who was the mother of Richard
Fitzjohn, Lord Fitzjohn, who was summoned to parliament in 23 Edward I., and died two years after in France? He was the son of John Fitzjohn Fitzgeoffrey, who died near Guildford in 1258, and who was the son and heir of John Fitzgeoffrey, Justiciary of Ireland in 1246. His mother's name is not mentioned in any authorities I have been able to consult, and I should feel particularly obliged by any one communicating to me his mother's name, and also his maternal grandmother's name, if they have ever been ascertained.
Tewars.
Quotations wanted.—Can any of your numerous correspondents oblige me with the information as to where the following may be found:
"The difficult passages they shun,
And hold their farthing rushlight to the sun."
Again, this:
"And like unholy men
Quote scripture for the deed."
