From A STUDY OF A MEDIEVAL KNIGHTLY FAMILY: THE LONGFORDS OF DERBYSHIRE1, PART 2 by Rosie Bevan < PDF >
Nicholas Longford V
The most turbulent years in Derbyshire in the fifteenth century coincided with Nicholas V as head of the Longford family. As a minor aged 16 in 1434, he had an early introduction to feuding, when the older generations of his family were involved in the dispute between Henry Pierrepont and Thomas Foljambe in which his great uncle was killed. A passionate partisan of the Lancastrian cause, Nicholas’ distrust of, and contempt for, Yorkist ambition, and its supporters, was the impetus in his leadership of the sack of Elvaston in 1454, in which many of his kinsfolk and tenants took part.
When Nicholas was 12 years old his marriage was arranged to Joan, daughter of Lawrence Warren (d.1444) of Poynton, Cheshire, and Margaret, daughter of Richard Bulkeley of Cheadle and Margery Venables of Kinderton (Ormerod, 1882, pp.199, 627). The Warrens claimed descent from John de Warenne, earl of Surrey, who died without legitimate issue in 1347, but had fathered illegitimate children by Maud de Nerford. One of these, Edward (recipient in the earl’s will of a bequest of £20 (Raine, 1836)), had married Cicely daughter and heir of Sir Nicholas de Eton, through whom Poynton and Stockport became the nucleus of the Warren family estate3.
By the marriages of his wife’s sisters the Longfords were connected to the Davenports of Bramhall, Honford, Stafford and Holand families, and through her nieces to the Mainwarings of Peover, Ardernes and Athertons (Earwaker, 1880, p.286). Joan’s brother, John Warren, whose wife was Isabel Stanley4, was to play a supporting role in Longford affairs, both as a witness to deeds and in the disturbances of the 1450s.
At the time of Nicholas’ minority there was tension between Seth Worsley5, his lawyer stepfather, and his father-in-law, Lawrence Warren, which is evident by a plea by Lawrence from prison that Seth Worsley, wanting to delay a suit in court between them, had laid false charges against him, so that the London sheriffs would arrest and keep him in gaol. Lawrence pleaded John Frank, Keeper of the Great Seal, to issue a writ of habeas corpus so that he could come to court, have the charges examined and dismissed, and get on with pursuing the original suit6.
"In the following reign the wars with France were renewed, and Henry V., of lasting memory, added fresh lustre to the English arms. The Cheshire archers were again to the fore, and at the close of the wars, when it was agreed that Henry should marry the daughter of the French King — thirty gentlemen of the county were summoned to attend their monarch at Westminster, among them being Laurence de Warren, baron of Stockport, the feudal lord of this locality. He also accompanied the King to France, where he received the honour of knighthood, and is said to have been at the bedside of his sovereign when Henry died in 1422."
