Transcriber's Note
The Family Trees or Pedigrees in this book have been supplied as .png images. If readers have difficulty seeing them on mobile or handheld devices, they are available as text in the .txt version.
The ligature æ is not necessarily consistent in its use, e.g. 'mediæval' is used more in Part I of this book, but not in Part II; 'mediaeval' is used in both parts.
The original book contained a Foreword, which is not present in the scans from which this book derives.
'Foreword ... page 7' has been removed from the Table of Contents.
Page 51: Text and table were slightly re-arranged for better flow.
Page 138: 'Lincolnshire' could be an error for 'Lincolnescire' or 'Lincolnescira', both appearing on page 137.
(p. 137): "Hugh Candidus wrote of the former:
Heres Galfridi de Nevile tenet in Lincolnescire,..."
Page 251: "as we gather from Florence [?] ..."
64 Floriacensis Vigorinensis: John of Worcester (fl. 1095-1140), chronicler, the author of the world history formerly attributed to Florence of Worcester. Survives in five twelfth-century manuscripts. Holinshed's last citation is under 1115, ... ~ CATALOGUE OF PRINCIPAL SOURCES USED IN 1577 EDITION OF HOLINSHED'S CHRONICLES COMPILED BY HENRY SUMMERSON [http://www. cems.ox.ac.uk/holinshed/Catalogue%20of%20principal%20sources.....pdf]
'Stamford Bridge' and 'Stamfordbridge' both appear more than once in this book, and in the First edition. Two instances of 'Stamfordbridge' have been corrected to 'Stamford Bridge', to correspont to the First edition.
Page 323 (in Chaper 'regenbald, priest and chancellor'): A Charter in Anglo-Saxon has been restored from the 1st edition (1895).
Anglo-Saxon letters in this Charter include:
þ = lower-case thorn;
Ƿ = Capital Wynn;
ƿ = lower-case wynn;
ð = lower-case eth;
ꝥ (in compliant browsers) = thorn with stroke, an abbreviation for þæt [þt].
þ and ð are also used elsewhere in the book.
Page 381: The printer has used a symbol to simulate a mediaeval scribe's abbreviarion of 'et': .
This has been replaced in this book by the Tironian (Irish) 'et': ⁊ (Enlarged: ⁊ )
Pages 412-415: The 2-page table which interrupted the text has been removed to the end of the chapter (as it was in the First edition), and the page numbers and footnote numbers amended.
Page 432: 'enured' = 'inured' = (legal) 'took effect', etc.
Errata
Many printer's errors, nearly all absent from the first edition, appear to have been introduced by a careless printer working from a copy of the first edition. Abbreviated titles, 'Mr.', 'Prof.', etc., in the First edition have mostly appeared in this edition as 'Mr', 'Prof', etc. These have been retained. Incorrect punctuation has been repaired without comment, except in the Index. Here the printer of this edition has replaced many of the colons of the First edition with commas, and added extra commas after sub-listings. These have been retained. Double quotes were used in the first edition; single quotes in this edition. This has led to some confusion where ' is used for both an abbreviation and a following end quote (''). Other errors are listed below.

Page 442: Index numbers: 555, 558-60 removed. Correct for First Edition; too high for 3rd Impression.
Index: The Index, in places, was unreliable.
Though most page numbers were correct, some page numbers belonged to the First Edition, and had not been correctly translated to this (re-paged) Third Impression, not translated at all, or not removed after translation; some were merely incorrect, and a few (important) page numbers were absent. All page numbers were checked, and retained, amended, added or deleted without TN comment, except where the error was not simply numerical. (Only some 'missing' page numbers have searched for, been found).
As the Footnotes have now been removed from the ends of pages to the ends of Chapters, there is no longer the connection from the Index page reference to a footnote, which may have held the only information on the page for the Index topic. Accordingly, where the information sought is only in the footnote, the footnote number, as a superscript, has been added to the page number in the Index, e.g.
Ellis, Mr A. S., 2497, 25743
Index: 'Feif' corrected to 'Fief'.
"Barnstaple, Fief of,..."
Index: 'Beauchamp, Maud de, 156, 158-9'.
The reference to p. 158 is to 'Matilda Beauchamp'. 'Matilda' and 'Maud' were apparently interchangeable, so this reference would be correct.
However, p. 159 has:
"... in their rivalry for Tamworth,36 the Marmions embraced the cause of Stephen, and the Beauchamps that of Maud, their variance being terminated under Henry II by a matrimonial alliance."
Surely this Maud is not Maud de Beauchamp, as the Index entry implies, but the Empress Maud, daughter, and surviving heir, of Henry I, and mother of Henry II; and bitter rival of her cousin, Stephen of Blois, crowned King of England, while she was not quite crowned Queen.
Index: 'Couut' corrected to 'Count'.
