The Glegge Family of Cheshire



The Venables Family of Normandy and Some Links to Other Families Through Marriages, Including the Orreby Family of Gawsworth and the Arderne Family of Aldford

Arthur Glegge, the ancestor of Michael Gregory, married Eleanor Massey in 1538. Eleanor’s mother was Catherine Venables, who was born in Cheshire in 1498. She married Sir John Massey around 1520. Catherine’s maternal grandfather was Thomas Venables who died in the Battle of Flodden Field. He was therefore an ancestor of Michael Gregory.

The Battle of Flodden Field, was undoubtedly the most famous battle ever fought on Northumbrian soil. It took place eight miles north west of Wooler near the village of Branxton on the 9th September 1513 during the reign of Henry VIII.

In 1513 England was at war with France and it was the Queen of that country who persuaded King James IV of Scotland to renew the `auld alliance' and assist the French, by invading northern England. Money and arms were sent to Scotland from France in the following months, enabling King James to build up an army for a large scale invasion of England. In August 1513 the first minor battle took place on Milfield Plain near Wooler, in which an army of Scots under Lord Home, were heavily defeated. The English knew however, that this was only a ‘warm up' for a greater battle which would inevitably follow.

On the 22nd August King James of Scotland crossed the River Tweed at Coldstream entering England with an army of between 60,000 to 100,000 men who burned the fortress of Norham on Tweed and the Tillside castles of Ford and Etal. The reason King James gave for the invasion, was revenge for the murder of Robert Kerr, a Warden of the Scottish East March who had been killed in a fray by a Northumbrian called John `the Bastard' Heron in 1508. King James made Ford Castle, (a Northumbrian stonghold of the Heron family), his battle headquarters, where only the lady of the house Elizabeth Heron was present. For a number of days the king remained at Ford while his men rested. During this time the king is said to have been fully occupied by the amourous attentions of Lady Heron. Whatever the King's battle intentions may have been at Ford, his actions so far had amounted to little more than a large scale border raid. In fact many of his men had already returned home to Scotland with booty of English goods and livestock.

Meanwhile, the English were busy preparing for battle further to the south. Thomas Howard, the Earl of Surrey, who had been left in charge of the defence of England, while Henry VIII was away fighting in France mustered forces in London and marched north to Pontefact, where he held a Council of War. Here, he was joined by the fighting men of Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire. From here, Surrey marched on to Durham where he prayed before the shrine of St Cuthbert in the Cathedral and collected the sacred banner of the Saint, which was always good for morale in time of war. Surrey then continued north to Newcastle, where he was joined by the men of Northumberland and Durham, including the retainers of Percy, Lord Dacre, the Bishop of Durham and of William Bulmer of Brancepeth.

Henry Percy, ‘the Magnificent' Fifth Earl of Northumberland, (a descendant of Hotspur), did not take part in the battle, since he was away in France helping the King with the siege of Therouenne and Tournay, but the Earl's brothers, Lionel and William Percy did join up with Surrey's men. Other additions to the English army included a crack regiment of archers under Sir Edward Stanley and the men of the Lord Admiral, Thomas Howard, who was Surrey's eldest son. He in turn was supported by his younger brother Edmund. Marching north, Surrey's men stopped first at Alnwick and then continued north to Wooler, where they began to prepare for battle.

By this time King James had moved from his headquarters at Ford Castle and had crossed to the western side of the River Till where he set up camp on the top of Flodden Hill. To here the English sent a messenger challenging the Scots to meet them in battle on Milfield Plain north of Wooler, but the Scots refused as they were not willing to vacate their advantageous lofty positon for the flat levels of Milfield. For the time being at least, they remained where they were. By this stage the English and Scottish forces were roughly equal, with around 30,000 men each.

On the following drizzly morning of Friday 9th September, 1513 the English began assembled for battle and in two parties made their way north, along the eastern flank of the River Till. The rearguard crossed the river by a ford at Heaton Castle (now gone), the vanguard crossed further north at Twizell Bridge. All this took place in full view of King James. Sir Walter Scott sets the scene;

From Flodden ridge,

The Scots beheld the English host

Leave Barmoor Wood, their evening post

And headful watched them as they crossed

The Till by Twizell Bridge.

High sight it is, and haughty, while

They dive into the deep defile;

Beneath the cavern'd cliff they fall,

Beneath the castle's airy wall.

By rock, by oak, by Hawthorn tree,

Troop after troop are disappearing;

Troop after troop their banners rearing

Upon the eastern bank you see.

Still pouring down the rocky glen,

Where flows the sullen Till,

And rising from the dim-wood glen,

Standards on standards, men on men,

In slow procession still,

And sweeping o'er the Gothic arch,

And pressing on in ceaseless march,

To gain the opposing hill.

Although King James could clearly see the movements of the English as they crossed the River Till, for some reason he decided against attacking them at this early stage, when the enemy was at its most vulnerable. Instead James ordered the burning of camp refuse, creating a dense wall of smoke, which temporarily blocked out the English view of his movements. When the smoke finally cleared, the entire Scottish army had moved their position northward from Flodden Hill to the adjacent Branxton Hill. It is worth noting that the Battle of Flodden, was in fact known for many centuries as the `Battle of Branxton'. It was an important move by James, since the English could well have planned to occupy Branxton Hill as Sir Walter Scott suggests in the poem, but now all that lay between them and the Scots was flatter land. This meant that when the English attacked they would have to fight their way up hill, the Scots had the advantage of being able to charge down the slope against their enemy. Before the English could contemplate battle and get anywhere near the Scots they had to cross one major obstacle, a large marshy area formed by the Pallinsburn, a tributary of the River Till. James thought this would hold the English up and tire them out but he was mistaken, the English had men with knowledge of the local countryside and the mossy area was quickly negotiated by means of the Branxton Bridge, a feature unknown to King James. The English began to assemble in a field at the foot of Branxton Hill with the awesome sight of the Scots looking down upon them.

The time was four o' clock in the afternoon, when the Scots opened fire on the English, who looked so vulnerable down below. The battle commenced. Almost immediately the inexperience of the Scottish gunmen became apparent. Unable to handle their cumbersome artillery the Scots were missing their targets while the English fired back with much greater precision, until gradually the Scottish guns and gunmen, were blown to pieces. James was quick to react. He noticed a weakness in the right wing of the English army, a section of mainly Lancashire and Cheshire men under Edmund Howard, whose men looked rather disorganised, hungry and a long way from home. Edmund's men were supposed to have been backed up by a reserve of English borderers under Lord Dacre, but these men seemed to have fled the battle scene.

James ordered the Scottish left wing, composed mainly of Scottish borderers, under the leadership of Lord Home, to attack this English ‘Achilles Heal'. Home's men gladly obliged and went charging down the hill towards the English right wing, causing most of Edmund's men to flee. The brave who remained were quickly slaughtered. Fortunately for the English, Lord Dacre and his English borderers reappeared on the scene, rescued Edmund and engaged themselves in a battle with their Scottish counterparts. John Heron and his men gave added support. So the opening stages of the battle resembled a kind of grand border fray, with many of the familiar border reiving families, involved in the action. Meanwhile the remainder of the English right wing, under the leadership of Surrey's eldest son, the Lord Admiral, now came under attack from the Scottish section, led by Lords Crawford and Errol, the Battle was now well under way.

King James, excited by the scene before him, was impatient to get involved with the action. In a moment of irrational impulse he wildly led his Scottish centre charging down the hill towards the English centre commanded by the Earl of Surrey. The sight of King James and his men must have struck terror in the English hearts, but they stood their ground and greeted the charge with an onslaught of arrows. At the base of the hill the Scottish charge was considerably slowed down and almost brought to a halt by an unexpected ridge and boggy area at the foot of the hill. This was a stroke of luck for the English, for it meant that the Scottish charge had lost is momentum. A fierce battle now began at the base of the hill. Now only the Scottish right wing and English left wings were not engaged in battle. This time the English took the initiative with Edward Stanley marching his men up Branxton Hill towards the Scots at the top. Here the Scots army was comprised of fierce looking highland clansmen, under the leadership of the Earls Lennox and Argyle, but Stanley's skilled fighting men were too much for the highlander's. Some fled for their lives, while others including the chiefs of the Campbells and the McCleans, who remained, were slain. Defeat was occurring all around for the unfortunate Scots, so the King desperately began charging towards the English banners, held high where the English leaders were located. His actions proved fatal. He was felled from his horse almost unrecognised by his enemies. The following morning he was to become one of ten thousand Scottish victims who lay dead on the battlefield.

Amidst all this slaughter, it is interesting to note the attitudes of the Border Reiver factions of the English and Scottish armies, who showed their true colours, as the fight progressed. Mosstroopers and reivers from both nations, most notably from the Dales of Tyne and Teviot, gathered together under the leadership of Lord Home and began stripping the slain of their possessions and plundering the baggage of both armies as the night of fighting continued. National pride and identity were seemingly a low priority of the Borderers in those days gone by.

The Battle of Flodden was a decisive victory for the English. For the Scots it had been a disaster, with many of the most important members of Scottish society killed or slain in the conflict. The Scottish dead included twelve earls, fifteen lords, many clan chiefs, an archbishop and above all King James himself. It is said that every great family in Scotland mourned the loss of someone at the Battle of Flodden. The dead were remembered in the famous Scottish pipe tune `The Flowers of the Forest';

We'll here nae mair lilting at our ewe milking,

Women and bairns are heartless and wae,

Sighing and moaning on a ilka green loaning,

The flowers of the forest are a wede away.

Of course, one of the dead on the English side was Thomas Venables, Michael Gregory’s ancestor.

Thomas had married into the Stanley family and through various lines, Cecily Stanley, Eleanor’s great grandmother’s ancestry can be traced to the FitzAlan family (Earls of Arundel), the Bohun and Plantagenet families and the Mortimer family.

The Venables ancestors can be traced back a further 12 generations to Gilbert de Venables, 3rd Baron of Kinderton, who was born in 1145 and died around 1190. Within these generations, it is possible to identify a number of marriages and connections with various families. These are, of course, all ancestors of Michael Gregory and noted for further research. They include members of the following families:

• Stanley

• Cotton

• Weever

• Caverswall

• Arderne

• Bredbury

• Oreby

• Hoghton

• Lee

• Banastre

• Woodcock

• Standon

• Massey

• Dutton

• Vernon

• De Moulton

• Dacre

• Gernet

• Malbank

• Pennington

• De Mauley

• De Gant

• Oxton

• Walthew of Croxton

• De Spencer

• De Burgandy

The 2nd Baron, and Gilbert’s father, was William Venables, born ca 1100. His parents were Gilbert de Venables, known as “Vanator” and Margery de Hatton. The Vanator’s father was Theobold de Venables, Count of Blois and Chartres, who was married to Gersanade Von Maine. Their first son, and the elder brother of Gilbert, was Steven Henry “The Sage”, Count of Blois. He was born in 1046 and died 19 May 1102 in the Holy Land in the Battle of Ascalon. He had married Adele, Princess of England, the daughter of King William the Conqueror. Their son, Stephen, became King of England. Another brother, Henry, became Bishop of Westminster. Theobold died in Tours, France, during battle in 1043. He was slain by Godfrey Marcel, Count of Anjou.

Of Gilbert “The Vanator”, it appears he came over with William the Conqueror in 1066. He became a large landowner in Cheshire and elsewhere. He was created a Baron of the Palatine County of Chester by the Earl of Chester. Gilbert was one of the earls’ Honourial Barons. Earl Hugh “The Fat” was a keen hunter and Gilbert appears to have been one of the huntsmen. Gilbert held in total eighteen manors in Cheshire and North Wales, including Brereton, Kinderton, Davenport, and Witton in the vicinity of Newbold. Whether Newbold was his principal residence in 1086 is unclear; if it was not, it was to become so for his successors in the twelfth century onwards. He was called “Gilbert the Hunter” in the Domesday Book

Steven Henry “The Sage”, Gilbert’s brother referred to above, became the Count of Blois, Champaigne, Chartre and Tourain. He was born in 1086 in Blois, France and was a commander under Godfrey de Bouillon. He fell fighting the Moslems at Rames in the Battle of Ascalon on 19 May 1102. He married Adele, Princess of England, the daughter of King William I and Matilda the Queen, in Chartres Cathedral, France, in 1081. Adele herself was born in 1067 in Normandy and died on 11 March 1137 in Marcigny-sur-Loire, France. She was buried in the Abbey of the Holy Trinity, Caen, Normandy.

King Stephen, (illustration below of the King) the cousin of Michael Gregory’s ancestor, Gilbert de Venables the 2nd Baron of Kinderton, was the grandson of William the Conqueror. He was about six years older than his cousin and rival for the throne, Matilda (daughter of Henry I). After his father’s death in 1102, Stephen was raised by his uncle, Henry I. Henry was genuinely fond of Stephen, and granted his nephew estates on both sides of the English Channel. By 1130, Stephen was the richest man in England and Normandy. Stephen’s reign was one of the darkest chapters in English history. He was basically a good man, well respected by the Barons and closely tied to the church. He possessed, however, a conciliatory character and limited scope of kingship. Stephen had promised to recognise his cousin, Matilda, as lawful heir, but like many of the English/Norman nobles, was unwilling to yield the Crown to a woman. He received recognition as King by the Papacy through the machinations of his brother, Henry of Blois, Bishop of Westminster, and gathered support from the Barons. Matilda was in Anjou at the time of Henry’s death and Stephen, in a rare exhibition of resolve, crossed the Channel and was crowned King by the citizens of London on 22 December 1135. His first few years as King were relatively calm, but his character flaws were quickly revealed. Soon after his coronation, two Barons each seized a royal castle in different parts of the country; unlike his hot-tempered and vengeful Norman predecessors, Stephen failed to act against the errant Barons. Thus began the slow erosion of Stephen’s authority as increasing numbers of Barons did little more than honour their basic feudal obligations to the King. Stephen failed to keep law and order as headstrong Barons increasingly seized property illegally. He granted Hugh tracts of land to the Scottish King to end Scottish and Welsh attacks on the frontiers. He succumbed to an unfavourable Treaty with Geoffrey of Anjou to end hostilities in Normandy. Stephen’s relationship with the Church also deteriorated: he allowed the Church much more judicial latitude (at the cost of Royal authority) but alienated the Church by his persecution of Roger, Bishop of Salisbury in 1139. Stephen’s jealous tirade against Roger and his fellow officials seriously disrupted the administration of the realm.

Matilda, biding her time on the continent, decided the time was right to assert her hereditary rights. Accompanied by her second husband, Geoffrey of Anjou and her half-brother, Robert, Earl of Gloucester (another ancestor of Michael Gregory through the De Clare line[1]), Matilda invaded England in the fall of 1139. The trio dominated western England and joined a rebellion against Stephen in 1141. Robert captured Stephen in battle at Lincoln; Stephen’s government collapsed and Matilda was recognised as Queen. The contentious and arrogant Matilda quickly angered the citizens of London and was expelled from the City. Stephen’s forces rallied, captured Robert, and exchanged the Earl for the King. Matilda had been defeated but the succession remained in dispute: Stephen wanted his son Eustace to be named heir and Matilda wanted her son Henry FitzEmpress to succeed to the Crown. Civil war continued until Matilda departed for France in 1148. The succession dispute remained an issue, as the virtually independent Barons were reluctant to choose sides from fear of losing personal power. The problem of succession was resolved in 1153 when Eustace died and Henry came to England to battle for both his own rights and those of his mother. The two sides finally reached a compromise with the Treaty of Wallingford. Stephen would rule unopposed until his death but the throne would pass to Henry of Anjou. Stephen died less than a year later in on 25 October, 1154 in Dover Castle, Kent and was buried in Faversham Abbey, Kent.
