Sir Robert Tyrwhitt's lands, &c., in Yorkshire, Essex, Sussex, &c., were similarly ascertained by inquisition in each county. Ho also had a grant of the Nunnery of Orford, or Offord, from Henry VIII. in Binbroke parish, co. Lincoln. This property afterwards came to the Powletts. Appendix to page 31. Mr. Dalton was buried in the chancel of the great church of the Holy Trinity, in Hull. The stone over his grave remains (1854) with the following inscription round the margin in old letter: "Here lyeth Thoas Dalton, thrise Mayor of Kingston-upon-Hull : Merchant of the Staple and (broken) terer (probably Venturer or Adventurer), who dyed iiij day of January, ano. dom. 1590, in the faithe of Christe and in the hope of the Resurrection to Lyfe Eternal." On a brass plate, inserted in the middle of the stone, is inscribed— "This Thomas Dalton first married Ann Walker, widow, by whō he had no children, and after married Ann Tyrwhitt, daughter of St Robert Tirwhyt of Kettlebie, Knight, and by her had six sonnes and three daughters, vizt., Wm: Rob: John, Phillip, Edw: and Tho: Ann, Eliz. and Susanna. He was wise honest and bownteful. He died being of the age of 74 in the feare of God and love of all good men; whose death the poore much lamented.” The eldest son of Thomas Dalton and Anne Tyrwhitt his wife, was Sir William Dalton, a barrister, one of the King's Counsel for the northern parts, Recorder of York and Hull, knighted by James I., ancestor of the present John Dalton, Esq., of Steninford Park, near Ripon, co. York, and Fillingham Castle, co. Lincoln. Appendix to page 37. Of Mr. William Tyrwhitt's daughters, Margaret was wife of Nicholas Rookwood, of Euston, Suffolk, Mary was wife, first, of Robert Bradford, son of Robert Bradford the elder, of Stanley, near Wakefield, in 1595. He died in 1596, and in 1599 or 1600 she married Robert Monson of Northorpe, in Lindsey, Lincolnshire. Ursula was wife of Mr. Babthorp, of York.1 2 Elizabeth, married Ambrose Rookwood, of Coldham Hall and Stanningfield, eo. Suffolk, Esq., who, with Robert Keyes, or Kay, of Staveley, co. Derby, son of another daughter of Sir Robert Tyrwhitt, were dragged on hurdles from the Tower to Palace Yard, and there beheaded for participating in the Powder Plot, 28th November, 1605. Ambrose Rookwood was one of the " seven gentlemen of name and blood who worked in the mine under the parliament chamber." See 13th vol. 'State Trials,' 139, and Jardine's 'Criminal Trials,' published in Knight's Library of Entertaining knowledge, 2nd vol., 35, 52, 78, 86, 183. This unhappy and infatuated man had been bred among the most bigoted Romanists in England and Flanders. He had an ample estate, and his stud of fine horses served the conspirators on their various journeys after the discovery of their plot had dispersed them into Warwickshire and elsewhere. Father Greenway describes him as beloved by all who knew him 1 Old Pedigree, vouched by Lord Monson, 1858. See 2nd Vol. of Nichols's 'Progresses of Queen Elizabeth,' page 216. 2 Her sisters married Lord St. John of Basing, John Blomer of Hathrop, co. Gloucester, and Robert Petre, heir of Lord Petre. Three were nuns beyond sea. Collins states the marriage of Sir George Brown, of Wickam Breus, co. Kent, half-brother of 1st Viscount Montague, to Mary, daughter of Sir Robert Tyrwhitt, of Kettleby, but gives no date. Their only son, George, by his wife, Elizabeth Blount, of Mapledurham, co. Oxon., had three sons, slain in the service of Charles I., eleven children who died infants, three daughters nuns, and two surviving sons. 6 Collins's Peerage,' 223-225. I and as blindly following Catesby, whom he entirely regarded, into that dangerous conspiracy;-thus ending his notice of him : "Lascio quando muori della sua moglie la quale era et bella et di famiglia nobile; e duo o tre puttini; ai quali tutti insieme, con quanto in questo mondo havea, preferi la compagnia di questa infelicissima et temeraria conguira." As the awful procession passed from the Tower along the Strand, Rookwood perceived his wife, a lady of beauty and merit, at a window, and called on her, as he lay on the hurdle, to pray for him. She replied in a clear voice, "I will, I will, and do you offer yourself with a good heart to your Creator. I yield you to Him with as full an assurance that you will be accepted of Him as when He gave you to me." Lord de Ros's 'Annals of the Tower of London,' page 127 (Murray, 1866). Rookwood died with manly resignation, expressing his sorrow for having wished to shed blood, and beseeching the King's kindness to his wife and children. He "protested to die in his idolatry a Romish Catholic," Jardine, ut supra, p. 183. He left issue by his wife, Elizabeth Tyrwhitt, Sir Robert Rookwood, whose second son Robert, a captain in the army, was killed at Oxford, fighting for Charles I. William Rookwood died at Alveston in the same cause. Sir Robert Rookwood's grandson, Ambrose Rookwood, followed James II. to St. Germain's, and had a high reputation for courage and honour. He was sent over to take part in Barclay's conspiracy in 1696, and having been taken in bed in an alehouse in Tower-hill, was the first who was tried under the new Act, passed in 1695, for regulating trials for high treason, and suffered at Tyburn in 1696.

Keyes (or Kay), when executed for his share in the Powder Plot, "used small show of repentance, went stoutly up the ladder, and not waiting the hangman's turn, turned himself off, broke the halter in the fall, but was drawn to the block, and divided into four parts." His descendant also was in the Barclay conspiracy in 1696. He had been in the Oxford Blues [now the Horse Guards Blue], and tampered with his guards. According to Macaulay he was in an agony of terror at his fate. Appendix to page 33. See Bridgwater's 'Concertatio Ecclesiæ Catholicæ.'

As to Nicholas Tyrwhitt, born in Lincolnshire, a missionary priest or student at Douay, 1573, ordained priest in 1577, died 1604; also as to William and Robert Tyrwhitt, sons of Sir Robert and Elizabeth Oxenbridge, his wife, imprisoned for recusancy in the Tower in 1577, see same vol. 172. Dr. Dodd says this Robert Tyrwhitt, second son of Sir Robert, was a gentleman of singular accomplishments, and a very zealous Roman Catholic. His alleged death in the Tower, from hardship, seems apocryphal, for his father's will mentions him as living a year after the date assigned to his death. See further Strype's 'Life of Whitgift,' vol. ii. pp. 527-530. It appears that in 1581 Secretary Wylson wrote to the Earl of Sussex-Lord Chamberlain—that he "had examined the two Tyrwhitts in the Tower, and found them very obstinate on religion." See 2 Strype's Annals,' Part ii. pp. 352-356; also 3 Strype's Annals,' 425, 432-434. A Nicholas Tyrwhitt is named as a seminary priest in a list in Lord Burghley's handwriting, Lansdowne MS. 55. Appendix to page 38. DE ROS PEERAGE. The first Earl of Rutland was thirteenth Lord Ros, but on the death of the third Earl, the barony of Ros was inherited by his daughter, while the Earldom devolved on his brother, the fourth Earl, father of Lady Bridget Tyrwhitt. The sixth Earl again inherited the Ros title, and was succeeded in it by his daughter, who married the celebrated George Villiers, first Duke of Buckingham, the Earldom passing to his, the sixth Earl's brother, seventh Earl. The tenth Earl was, in 1703, created Duke of Rutland-Dod's 'Peerage' in 1851, nom Rutland. See in text as to the further and existing settlement of this title, when claimed in right of Lady Bridget Tyrwhitt. Appendix to page 36. LADY B. TYRWHITT'S EPITAPH.

I., printed in Bishop Bramhall's works, folio, Dublin edit. 1677], since reprinted by Anglo-Catholic Society, is a passage ridiculing fears then rife, "that Hull would be surprised, sometimes by the Lord of Dunbar's men, who were trained underground; sometimes by Mr. "Terrett,' a Lincolnshire 'gentleman, and his troops of horse; a fine device, indeed, to have surprised Hull on a sudden with horse, and horse from Lincolnshire! Who knows how they should get over Humber, unless winged?" The elder Sir John Hotham then commanded in Hull for the Parliament, though secretly inclined for the King. Appendix to page 39.
