_Chauncy--Entwysel._--To a dry genealogical Query (Vol. iii., p. 61.), your
readers will wish me to reply as briefly as possible. F. R. R. will find
that Sir H. Chauncy's statement is borrowed from Weever. The latter founded
his statement, that "Wilfred Entwysel was the last heir of his house," on
the authority of Dalton, Norroy; but this statement, as your correspondent
has shown, and as other evidence would prove, is not well-founded. It may
be assumed that Sir Bertyne Entwysel did not leave issue, _male_, by Lucy
his wife, the daughter of Sir John Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, as Leland
speaks of a daughter only, "of whom Master Bradene, of Northamptonshire, is
descended." His connexion with Lancashire is shown by his epitaph, and by
our finding his name as a witness to a Lancashire charter. The alliance
which he formed may be urged as a further proof. Leland's expression, that
"he came into England," may imply that Sir Bertyne remained in France
discharging the duties of his office, from the period of the Battle of
Agincourt, where he {172} signally distinguished himself, until his
services were again called for in the Wars of the Roses.
