( c ) See " Nicolai," pp. 761—809, for a full account thereof, there being a note to this Baron (p. 774) to the ell'eet that tho' he was in the Scotch wars in 1300 he was not sum. to Pari, until 1313, and consequently " no cause presents itself to which his being present as a liaron in this [1301] Pari, can be attributed." C) This John, says Dugdale, left by John, hiss, and h. a|>., a grandson and h., John Meinill, who <<". (131 ), 23 Bd. 111., seized of Castle Leviuton, Sc., leaving Alice his sister and heir, then aged 22, and wife of John do Boillton. The pedigree is, however, more accurately set forth in Banks's " J'ur. Anyh,' by which it appears that this Alice had three husbands. viz. (1; Robert (not John) de Boultoii who ft s.p. (2) Walter Boynton, by whom a son, Walter, and (3) William Percy, by whom William and Margaret. Of her three children the eldest, Walter Boyuton, inherited Castle Levingtou, but d s p.

('•) Dugdale mentions a Sir Hugh de Meinill, K.B., who " in 1 Ed. III. [1327J had summons to Pail, amongst the Barons of this Realm but not after." This supposed summons to pari, is erroneous, tho' his name appears in the writ of summons " cquis et armis " to Newcastle upon Tyne. The person indicated was Sir Hugh de Meignill, of l.angley Meinill, co. Derby, of whom and whose descendants there is a good pedigree in " the Top and lieu.," vol. i, p. 857. 0 See p. 22, note " g," sub "Latimer," as to this lady, who was b. in 1279 at Bylton. In the " Ingleby MSS." (app. 0th Rep. Hist. MSS. Comm.; is au account of this scandal.
