By Letters Patent, dated 21 May, 1626. Lineage. SIR OLIVER ST. JOHN, of Lydiard Tregoze, an eminent soldier, obtained great renown in the Irish wars of ELIZABETH and JAMES, and was created Viscount Grandison, in the peerage of Ireland, temp. JAMES I., with limitation to the male issue of his nephew Sir Edward Villiers. He was first president of Munster, and was afterwards constituted lord deputy of that kingdom. His lordship returned, in the 20th of the same monarch, and by his majesty's successor, was made a peer of England, 21 May, 1626, in the dignity of BARON TREGOZE, of Highworth, co. Wilts. His lordship m. Joan, dau. and heir of Henry Roydon, Esq., of Battersea, and widow of Sir William Holcroft, but had no issue. He d. in 1629, when the Barony of Tregoze became EXTINCT; the Viscounty of Grandison passed in accordance with the limitation to the family of Villiers, and the manors of Battersea and Wandsworth devolved on his lordship's nephew, Sir John St. John, Bart., ancestor of the VISCOUNTS BOLINGBROKE. ST. LEGER-VISCOUNT DONERAILE. (See BURKE's Extant Peerage.) ST. LIZ-EARLS OF HUNTINGDON. Creation of WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. Lineage. The county which gave designation to this earldom was, according to Dr. Heylin, a thickly wooded forest, until the reign of the 2nd HENRY, when the timber was first cleared away; the chief town, from the celebrity of the forest as a chase, was called Huntingtown, which soon became abbreviated into Huntington, or Huntingdon. The Earldom of Huntingdon was conferred, by WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, upon WALTHEOF (son of Syward, the Saxon Earl of Northumberland), who had m. the dau. of that monarch's sister, by the mother's side, JUDITH. He was also Earl of Northampton, and of Northumberland: but conspiring against the Normans, he was beheaded, in 1073, at Winchester, leaving issue, Maud, m. 1st, to Simon de St. Liz; and 2ndly, to David, brother of ALEXANDER, King of Scotland. Judith, m. 1st, to Ralph de Toney, and afterwards to Robert, 5th son of Richard de Tonbridge, ancestor of the Lords FitzWalter. After the execution of Waltheof, King WILLIAM offered Judith, his niece, the deceased earl's widow, in marriage to Simon St. Liz, a noble Norman, but the lady peremptorily rejected the alliance, owing, Dugdale says, to St. Liz's halting in one leg; which refusal so displeased the CONQUEROR, that he immediately seized upon the castle and honour of Huntingdon, which the Countess held in dower, exposing herself and her dau. to a state of privation and obscurity in the Isle of Ely, and other places; while he bestowed upon the said Simon St. Liz the town of Northampton, and the whole hundred of Falkeley, then valued at £40 per annum, to provide shoes for his horses. St. Liz thus disappointed in obtaining the hand of the Countess of Huntingdon, made his addresses, with greater success, to her elder dau., the Lady Maud, who became his wife, when William conferred upon the said SIMON DE ST. Liz, the Earldoms of Huntingdon and Northampton. This nobleman built the castle of Northampton, as also the priory of St. Andrews there, about the 18th year of the CONQUEROR's reign, and was a liberal benefactor to the church. His lordship was a witness to King HENRY I.'s laws in 1100, after which he made a voyage to the Holy Land, and d. on his return (1115), at the abbey of Charity, in France, leaving issue, SIMON, who 8. to the Earldom of Northampton, but was excluded from that of Huntingdon. He was, subsequently, however, restored. Waltheof, Abbot of Melrus, in Scotland. Maud, m. 1st, to Robert, son of Richard de Tonbridge; and 2ndly, to William de Albini, according to Dugdale; but Hornby, in his remarks upon Dugdale's errors, proves that such alliances, if not impossible, were very improbable. A Maud de St. Lis is mentioned as wife of Saier de Quincy, being father and mother of Saier, 1st Earl of Winchester. Upon the death of Simon, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, his elder son, Simon, should have succeeded to both dignities, but it appears he only inherited the former. The Earldom of Huntingdon being assumed by DAVID, son of MALCOLM III., King of Scotland, who had m. the deceased earl's widow, the Countess Maud, under the especial sanction of King HENRY I. This nobleman succeeded to the Scottish throne, on the decease of Alexander, his elder brother, in 1124; and invading England, was met upon the border by King STEPHEN, when their differences were amicably adjusted; and HENRY, son of the said DAVID, King of Scotland, on condition of swearing allegiance to STEPHEN, had the Earldom and honour of Huntingdon, with the borough of Doncaster and Carlisle as an augmentation thereto. Nay, he was in such high estimation with King STEPHEN, that upon that monarch's solemn celebration of the feast of Easter, he placed the Earl of Huntingdon on his right hand; which gave such displeasure to the nobility then present, that William Corbois, or Corbel, Archbishop of Canterbury, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and several others, withdrew from court. He m. Ada, sister of William, Earl of Warrenne and Surrey, and had issue, Ada, m. to Floris, Earl of Holland. Margaret, m. to Conan le Petit, Earl of Britanny. The earl d. in 1153, a little before his father, and upon his decease, SIMON DE ST. Liz, Earl of Northampton, was restored to the Earldom of Huntingdon. This nobleman was a zealous supporter of King STEPHEN, against the Empress MAUD, and continued ever opposed to any amicable adjustment of the contest. He m. Isabel, dau. of Robert, Earl of Leicester, and had issue, SIMON, who succeeded to the Earldom of Northampton, but not to that of Huntingdon. He was, however, restored, temp. HENRY II. Amice. Hawyse. His lordship d. about the year 1154, and after his decease, King HENRY II., in the 1st year of his reign, conferred, in exchange for the cos. of Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland (which the Scots had subjugated), upon MALCOLM, King of Scotland, son of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon, the Earldom of Huntingdon. This monarch d. s. p., in 1165, and was 8. by his brother, WILLIAM, King of Scotland, as Earl of Huntingdon. This monarch taking up arms in favour of Prince Henry, so exaspe This earl is stated to have had a brother also called Simon de St. Liz, whose descendants settling at Seton, co. Rutland, assumed the surname of SETON. The heir female of this family m., in the reign of HENRY VI., Sir William Fielding, ancestor of the Fieldings, Earls of Denbigh. rated King HENRY II, that he immediately sent an army against him, and promised that the castle and earldom should be restored to the family of St. Liz, the rightful heirs; whereupon Simon St. Liz, Earl of Northampton, son and heir of Simon, last Earl of Huntingdon, of that family, levied troops, and appeared before the castle, when WILLIAM, of Scotland, finding it untenable, made a surrender to St. Liz of that fortress, which the King of England ordered to be demolished, but, nevertheless, SIMON DE ST. Liz was restored to the Earldom of Huntingdon, circa 1174, which he enjoyed for the remainder of his life. He d. s. p., in 1184, whereupon King HENRY II. restored the Earldom to King WILLIAM, of Scotland, and that monarch transferred it to his younger brother, who thus became DAVID, Earl of Huntingdon. This prince accompanied King RICHARD I. to the Holy Land, with 500 men in his train; but upon his return, his fleet being scattered, his lordship was made prisoner by the Egyptians, and eventually redeemed by the Venetians. He m. Maud, dau. of Hugh Kyvelioc, and sister and co-heir of Ralph, Earl of Chester, and had surviving issue, JOHN, surnamed Le Scot. Margaret, m. to Alan, of Galloway and had two daus., His lordship d. in 1219, and was 8. by his son, JOHN LE SCOT, as Earl of Huntingdon, who, in right of his mother, became likewise Earl of Chester (see Scot, Earl of Chester).

ST. PHILIBERT-BARONS ST. PHILIBERT. By Writ of Summons, dated 6 February, 1299. NICHOLAS DE ST.

PHILIBERT was in arms with the other barons against the crown, and did not return to his allegiance before the 1st HENRY III., when he had restitution of his lands. In the 10th of the latter king he was made governor of the island of Jersey. After this Hugh, came ROGER DE ST. PHILIBERT, one of the rebellious barons made prisoner in 47th HENRY III., at the battle of Northampton. And about the same time, WILLIAM DE ST. PHILIBERT was also in the baronial ranks, and assisted in the defence of Dover Castle. But after the battle of Evesham, making his peace, and returning to his allegiance, he had restitution of his lands which had been seized, in the co. Northampton.

Because "none of the higher temporal nobility, nor any of the spiritual peers, were included in it; nor was there any day fixed for the meeting." "It is also to be observed," continues the same authority, "that the writ in question is the earliest on record, excepting that of 49th HENRY III., that the majority of the persons summoned in the 22nd EDWARD I. were never again summoned, excepting in the 25th of the same king; that several of the persons were not considered barons by tenure; and that of those who were barons by tenure, and summoned on those occasions, many were never included in any subsequent summons to parliament The writ of the 22nd EDWARD I. has, however, on one occasion (in the case of the Barony of Ros), been admitted as a writ of summons to parliament at the bar of the House of Lords; but the last General Report of the Lords Committee, appointed to search for Matters touching the dignity of a Peer of the Realm,' appears to confirm the objections here expressed."
