He died 6 Richard II, on the feast of St. Martin, and was succeeded by Sir Robert de Legh III, who was more than 20 years of age at the time of the post mortem inquisition by which same instrument it appears that he was born at Bortherley Hey, and was baptized in Audley Church, on the feast of St. Chad the bishop on the 2 of March, 35 Edward III.

On the 6 December 1380, license was granted to John Burdele (Boydell), Kt., and to Katherine, his wife, to alienate to Hugh de Wrottesleye, Kt., and to Isabella, his wife, and to their issue, a messuage and thirty acres of land in Budworth, in Le Frith, and on the following 14 December a writ to the Eschaetor of co. Chester directs him to deliver to Hugh de Wrottesleye that part of the land of Alina, formerly the wife of Thomas de Alvandelegh, which belonged to Isabella, wife of the said Hugh, and likewise the other part which belonged to Katherine, wife of John Burdele, Kt., and which had been sold by her and the said John, to Hugh and Isabella, and which lands had fallen to the said Isabella and Katherine, as kinswomen and heirs of the said Alina.1 This is the latest appearance of Sir Hugh on any public document.
1 Calendar of Welsh and Cheshire Recoi'ds, printed. (Holls series). Kalherine had been previously married to Thomas de Mascy, and seems to have been the eldest sister, for in 1368 Thomas de Mascy and Katherine, his wife, 'Robert de Legh, the younger, and Matilda, his wife', and Isabella, sister of Matilda, sued Thomas de Venables, of Alvandelegh, for waste in Teverton, near Tarporley, which was of their inheritance.

An Inquisition of this year (1377), taken on the death of Thomas de Venables of Alvandelegh, gives some information respecting the parentage of Isabella, the wife of Sir Hugh. It states that Thomas had died seised of certain lands and tenements in Budworth, co. Chester, in right of his wife Aline, the daughter and heir of Robert Daa, which were held of the King in capite as Earl of Chester, by military service, and that the heirs of Aline were Robert, son of Robert de 'Legh, the son of Matilda', daughter of John de Arderne, Kt. Katherine, the wife of John Boidele, Kt., daughter of John de Arderne, and Isabella, the wife of Hugh de Wrottesleye, Kt., the other daughter of John de Arderne, and that Katherine and Isabella were twenty-four years of age and upwards.

Five years after this date, and when Hugh Wrottesley was nine years of age, an event occurred which materially affected his interests. Sir John Arderne, of Aldford, died in 9 Henry IV, leaving an only daughter, and under the settlement made of the Arderne estates in 21 Edward III, these should now have devolved on the issue of Robert de Legh and Hugh de Wrottesley as right heirs of Sir John Arderne and Elena, who had died in 1349.
The Inquisition on the death of Sir John Arderne was taken at Chester on the 18 June, 9 Henry IV (1408), on the oath of three Knights and nine Esquires of co. Chester, who stated that a certain Robert de Hampton, late Parson of the church of Alderley, and John, son of Roger de Motlowe, were formerly seised in demesne as of fee of the manors of Aldeford, Alderley, and Echeles, and of the advowsons of the churches of Aldeford and Alderley, and of an annual rent of £10 from the manor of Upton in Wyrehale, and had granted the same to John de Ardene and Elena, his wife, for their lives, with remainder to one Thomas, the son of Elena, and the heirs male of his body, and failing such, to Walkeline, the brother of Thomas and the heirs male of his body, and failing such, to the right heirs of John de Ardene and Elena, and failing such, to the right heirs of John de Ardene for ever. And John de Ardene and Elena had issue lawfully begotten 'Matilda' and Isabella, and John and Elena had died without leaving any male issue lawfully begotten, and after the death of John de Ardene and Elena, the abovenamed Thomas had entered into the said manors, advowsons and rent in virtue of the remainder, and he had issue John de Ardene, Knight; and Thomas died, seised in demesne as of fee tail of the said manors, advowsons and rent, and after his death, they descended to the said John, son of Thomas, who had entered, and had died seised of them, as of fee tail, and had left no male heir; and they stated that 'Robert de Legh,
http://www.archive.org/stream/collectionsfora11socigoog#page/n204/mode/1up/search/Arderne
' the son of Robert de Legh, married the said Matilda, and they had issue' Robert de Legh, Kt., which Robert de Legh, Kt., had issue Robert de Legh, who was now surviving ; and 'Matilda had died', and Robert de Legh, son of the said Robert and Matilda, had died inde seisitus.1 And they stated also that one Hugh de Wrotteslegh, Knight, had married the above named Isabella, and they had issue one John de Wrotteslegh, and John had issue Hugh de Wrotteslegh, who was now surviving. And Hugh the elder and his wife, Isabella, had died, and John, their son, had likewise died, and therefore the right to the said manors, advowsons and rent, after the death of the said John, son of Thomas (de Ardene) should remain to the said Robert, son of Robert de Legh, Kt., as son and heir of the said Robert de Legh, Kt., son and 'heir of the said Matilda, daughter and one of the heirs of John de Ardene and Elena', and to the said Hugh, son and heir of the said John, son and heir of Hugh, the son and heir of the said Isabella, the other daughter and heir of John de Ardene and Elena.
___________________________
On the death of Robert Legh, his eldest son, who bore the same name, and who was then fifty years of age, and married to Ellen, daughter of Sir Robert Booth, of Dunham Massey, Knight, succeeded to the patrimonial lands. Two years afterwards, a quarrel having arisen between Edward IV. and James III. of Scotland, which resulted in the breaking off of the marriage treaty between the English Princess Cicely and the son of the Scottish King, and the resumption of hostilities between the two countries, a commission was issued (November 18, 148o) to Robert Legh, and other persons therein named, requiring them to array the fencible men of the hundred before the Christmas following, and to command the same to be in readiness in warlike attire to attend upon the Earl of Chester on three days' notice; and on the 15th January following another commission was issued to the same persons, requiring them to communicate with the gentlemen of the hundred to determine the number of horsemen, with their harness, that could be raised in their households, and to make a return before the Wednesday next before the Feast of the Purification. A third commission was issued to them in May, 1481, to array the fencible men of the hundred between the ages of sixteen and sixty, and to appoint a certain day for the same to depart "pro viagio dicti partes nostri versus partes scocie." Mr. Earwaker cites a deed from which it appears that on the 6th December, 1483, John Legh, a younger brother of Robert, a priest in orders, and then rector of Rostherne, and Douce or Dulcia, his sister, granted to the said Robert all their right and title to the manor and church of Prestbury.
The fierce struggle of the Red and White Roses destroyed the power and weakened the influence of the English nobility and their feudatory chiefs by sweeping away the heads of the principal families. Their sun went down when the stout Earl of Warwick, the renowned " King-maker," lay weltering in his gore upon the field at Barnet; Tewkesbury extinguished their hopes; and the fight at Bosworth ended a contest which, in the field and on the scaffold, had cost the lives of more than sixty princes of the royal family, above one-half of the nobles and principal gentlemen, and above a hundred thousand of the common people of England. Fortunately for themselves, the lords of Adlington passed harmless through that eventful period. It does not appear that Robert Legh took any very active part in the protracted struggle between the rival houses of York and Lancaster. The Lyme Leghs had plucked the " pale and maiden blossom " and given their verdict " on the White Rose side," but there is reason to believe that, in the closing years of his life at least, the sympathies of Robert Legh were on the side of the Red Rose of Lancaster. It may be that, like the kinsmen of his father's second wife, the Stanleys of Lancashire, he believed that to be " the true policy which had the most success," and, like them, have been a faithful adherent of the party of "good luck." Certain it is that the great and exhausting quarrel between these rival houses, which brought death and destruction to so many an English home, left his house with unimpaired estates and undiminished power; but he did not long survive the close of that unhappy struggle, his death occurring on the 8th December, 1486, when he must have been sixty-eight years of age. By his wife, whom he predeceased, and who died in 15o4, he had Thomas Legh, who succeeded as his heir, four younger sons, and one daughter.
'Robert de Legh', son of Robert and Matilda, of Adlington, 2nd of that name and place. 'He was born abt. 1341. He married Matilda Arderne, or Maud, daughter and heiress' of Sir John Arderne, Knight, by Ellena de Wasteneys, his wife. They had Robert, the eldest son, and Piers. I descend from both sons through 2 separate lines listed below.
Sir Piers de Legh, or Peter de Legh, son of 'Robert and Matilda', Knight of Macclesfield and later of Lyme, was born about 1375. He was the 3rd husband of Margaret Danyers, daughter of Thomas Danyers and Isabelle Baggiley. They were married in November, 1388. Piers Legh was beheaded at Chester August 1, 23rd of Richard II, 1399. Her first husband was John de Radcliffe and 2nd John Savage. Being the younger son of Robert of Adlington, he received Lyme Hanley from his mother whose father, Thomas Danyers of Bradley in Appleton, when the flower of Cheshire chivalry were engaged under their Earl of Chester, the Black Prince (Edward, son of Edward III, who died before his father) at the Battle of Cressy, was pre-eminently distinguished above the rest of that chosen phalanx; and that in the most hazardous part of the battle, most probably when King Edward refused his succors and bade "his boy win his spurs and the honour of the Day" for himself, the said Thomas Danyers relieved the banner of his Earl and took prisoner the Chamberlain of France, Tankerville. For this service Edward the Black Prince, Earl of Chester, settled on him an annuity of 40 marks per annum, issuing out of his manor of Frodsham, until a convenient grant of land of the value of ?20 per annum could be made. In 21st of Richard II it was finally settled that this estate should be the lands of Hanley in Macclesfield Forest, which that sovereign, who in this year assumed the title of Earl of Chester, accordingly granted to the daughter of Sir Thomas Danyers, and her third husband, this Piers Legh. With this daughter, Margaret Danyers Legh, the account of Lyme must commence. Hanley subsequently assumed the additional name of Lyme from the antient designation of the forest of which it formed a part--placed on the Limes or border of Cheshire, and is now ordinarily known by the name of Lyme only. The Hall of Lyme is situated within an extensive park, which partakes much of the varied surface and lonely character of the neighboring moors, and gives a fine effect of contrast to the magnificence and antique stateliness of the mansion itself, built with dark stone, screened by woods on the northwest and high grounds of the park in the other directions. The park of Lyme, which is very extensive, is celebrated for the fine flavor of its venison and contains a herd of wild cattle, and is situated near the road from Manchester to London, adjacent to the picturesque Village of Disley. Piers Legh was knighted about the time of this grant, but he lived only two years to enjoy it. In 1399, when the insurgent forces of the Duke of Lancaster advanced into Cheshire, piers was seized upon by that nobleman, and in consequence of this well-known attachment to his unfortunate sovereign Richard II was beheaded at Chester August 1, 1399. His wife Margaret long survived him.

Robert de Legh, who succeeded to the manor of Adlington on the death of his mother in 1352, had a commission as a justice in eyre for Macclesfield, and was also appointed a steward of the manor and forest of Macclesfield. He was twice married, his first wife being Sibilla, the daugher of Henry de Honford, of Honford (Handforth), by whom he had, in addition to two daughters, 'Robert who succeeded as heir to the Adlington estates', and Hugh, who predeceased him.
'ROBERT DE LEGH, WHO INHERITED THE MANOR OF ADLINGTON ON THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER, CIRCA 1370, was, in 1358, in the retinue of Edward the Black Prince in the war in Gascony; and there is an entry in the Palatinate Rolls at Chester that he, with William de Bostock and Hugh, son of Thomas le Smyth of Mottram, entered into a recognisance indemnifying the chamerlain for any moneys that might be due to two of the Cheshire archers who were serving under him while with the prince. In 1360-61, as appears by the Recognisance Rolls, he had granted to him the custody of the lands in Cheshire lately belonging to Henry de Honford, then deceased, with the wardship and marriage of his daughter and heiress, Katherine. In 1382, Joan, Princess of Wales, the widow of the Black Prince, and the once "Fair Maid of Kent," gave to him and William del Dounes a lease for twelve years of her part of the town of Bollington, with the water-mill there, on payment of eight marks yearly. He appears to have succeeded his father in the office of bailiff of the manor of Macclesfield, and to have held it until 1382, when his half-brothers, Peter and John were appointed in his stead. HE DIED ON THE 9TH NOVEMBER, 1382 LEAVING BY HIS WIFE MATILDA, DAUGHTER OF SIR JOHN ARDERNE, OF ALDFORD, KNIGHT, A SON, ROBERT, BORN AT ROTER-LE-HAY, AND BAPTISED AT AUDLEM ON THE 2ND MARCH, 1361-2, AND THEN AGED 20; AND TWO DAUGHTERS--MARGERY, WHO BECAME THE WIFE OF THOMAS DE DAVENPORT, OF HENBURY, AND KATHERINE, WHO MARRIED REGINALD DOWNES.'
---------------------------------------------
Robert de Legh II of Adlington, the second in succession, was one of the Black Prince's Esquires. Robert de Legh II inferentially held the same offices in the manor and forest of Macclesfield as his father did before him. He married Maud, d. of Sir John Arderne of Aldford, knight, by whom he had one son and two daughters. Through his marriage lands in Hyde, Cliff, Hattersley, Rommiley and Etchells were added to the Legh possessions. He died 6 Richard II (1382), on the feast of St. Martin, and was succeeded by Sir Robert Legh (III) who was more than 20 years of age as is shown in the post morten inquisition.
