( b ) His representatives were his two sisters, among whose descendants these Baronies are (subject to the attainder) in abeyance, as also was the Barony of Beaumont after the death of their maternal uncle, W illiam (Beaumont), 2d Viscount Beaumont, which death not occuring till 1507, that Barony was free from the attainder of 1485. The abeyance of this last named Barony was terminated in 1840 in favour of the heir of the eldest coheir. See tabular pedigree in vol. i, p. 287, note "a," sub " Beaumont," shewing the representation of both of these ladies. ( c ) It is not very clear what was the end of this unfortunate nobleman. He is said to have been last seen on horseback, after the battle of Stoke, endeavouring to swim the river Trent, and (according to Bacon's " Henry VII. 1 ') was there drowned, but there is a tradition that he escaped, and hiding in a secret place was therein starved to death by treachery or negligence. In 170S a skeleton (very probably his) was discovered in a vault at Minster Lovel, being that of a man sitting at a table with book, paper, pen, &C-, before him.
