Other people mentioned: Frombald Flemyng (Fleming), grandfather of the petitioner; Roger [Frombald] son of Frombald Flemyng and father of the petitioner. Nature of request: Frombald shows that his grandfather purchased rents and services in Wingfield which ought to have descended to him following the death of his father. At his father's death, because the rents and services were held in chief of the king, he entered and held them until the king granted them to John de 

Wingfield of which he is now seised. Frombald requests remedy so that he can enjoy the right of the services which ought to have descended to him after the death of his father. Endorsement: He should distrain and take action by the law. Publication note: Rotuli Parliamentorum; ut et Petitiones, et Placita in Parliamento, vol.

66 Portrait sold at Sotheby’s, London, 10 July 1991, Lot 7A, est. £35,000-£50,000; provenance: Revd John Long of Saxmundham & Coddenham, T. Humphrey Ward (sold 1912), L.D. Cunliffe of Trelissick, Cornwall. Nothing is known of Scrots’s early life, training or parentage, but in 1537 he was appointed painter to Mary of Hungary, Regent of the Netherlands. In 1545, he went to England to take up a position as a painter at the court of Henry VIII, where he was the highest paid artist of the time. The most remarkable work attributed to Scrots is a portrait in distorted perspective of King Edward VI (in National Portrait Gallery).

67 The Vere line is continued thus: sonne & heyr of John veer Erll of Oxford & Elizabeth his Wyfe Daughtr and heyr of Sr John howard knyght which George was sonne & heyr to Rychard Veer Erll of Oxford & of Alys his Wyfe Daughtr and one of the heyres of Sr Rychard Sergeaulx knyght Which Rychard was sonne & heyre to Sir Awbry de veer sonne & heyr to John Veer Erll of Oxford and of Mawde his wyfe Daughtr & one of the heyres of Sir Barthelmew Badelysmere Which John was sonne & heyre to Sir Alphons De Veer knyght sonne & heyre to Robert veer Erll of Oxford & of Alys his wyfe Daughtr and heyr of Gylbert Baron of Sandford Which Robert was sonne & heyr to hugh Veer erll of Oxford sonne & heyr to Robert Veer erll of Oxford & of Isabell his wyfe Daughtr and heyr of Sir hugh Vyscounte Bulbeke, Which Robert was sonne and heyr to Awbrye de Veer erll of Oxford sonne and heyr to Awbrye de Veer erll of Oxford wch maryed Mawde the suster of Wyllm Conqueror. The Visitation of Norfolk 1563, 1589 & 1613, p. 317 confuses Elizabeth her with her younger sister Ursula (c.1502-1558) and erroneously states that she was the widow of Sir Edward Knightley; Knightley was Ursula’s 2nd husband. A third sister, Dorothy, married John Neville, 3rd Lord Latimer of Snape Castle in Yorkshire (d. 1543); after Dorothy’s death in 1527 Latimer remarried twice – his last wife, Catherine Parr, remarried King Henry VIII in 1543.

He was described as ‘wise for himselfe, nimble in inferiour business and delighted more in petty and cunning contrivance than open gallantry ... he vexed his neighbours more than weakned his enemy, and advanced the catholike cause no other way than by the plague and ruine of the countrey.’ The people of the Forest of Dean were said to have been brought over to the side of Parliament ‘by the hatred of Sir John Winter, whose name and faction the people did abhorre.’
