Sir '''William Molyneux''' ''of Sefton'' was born abt. 1479 and died 16 March 1548. In 1513 he distinguished himself at the battle of Flodden, during which he captured the standard of the Earl of Huntly, a trophy which was hung in Sefton Hall for the remainder of his life. He was ''Sheriff of Lancashire'' in 1524-1525 [1] and ''Lord of Sefton Manor'' [2][3]. Parents: '''Sir William was the eldest of seven children and the heir''' of Sir Thomas Molyneux (1445-1483), Sheriff of Lancashire 1473-80, and Anne Dutton (d. 1520), who was the daughter of Sir Thomas Dutton, of Dutton (d. 1549) and Margaret Touchet (1424-1503). '''Married: # '''Jane Rugge''', born Abt. 1475 Of, Rugge, Shropshire, England. She was the only daughter and heir of Richard Rydge or Rugge of Ridge, Shropshire and Margaret (Sheen) Moreton [4][6]. # '''Elizabeth Clifton''', daughter and heir of Cuthbert Clifton, Esq.

[6] ([7] fn. 50) It was perhaps in his time that Croxteth became the principal residence of the family, as Leyland found it in 1535: ''''Mr. Molyneux, a knight of great lands, two miles from Prescot, dwelleth at a place called Croxteth.' ([7] fn. 48) In 1545 William Molyneux assigned certain lands to his son''' Richard to enable the latter to maintain hospitality within the manor place of Sefton. ([7] fn. 49).

The inscription records his feat of capturing two standards at Flodden, and over his head is the Molyneux shield with the standards above it—only one being now perfect, that of Huntly, with its motto or cry 'Clanc tout.' Above each of the wives was a lozenge with heraldry, one only being now left, and below the inscription a shield with Molyneux with ten alliances, and the motto 'En droit devant.' The figure of Sir William is in armour of the time, with the curious exception that the head is covered with a coif of mail, and the lower part of a hauberk shows above the knees. It is possible, as has been already suggested elsewhere, that the figure represents his actual appearance at Flodden, in old armour hastily chosen from among the suits at Sefton on the sudden alarm of war. >* from: [http://sca.lib.liv.ac.uk/ead/search?operation=summary&rsid=733&firstrec=1&numreq=20&highlight=1&hitposition=0 Norris family deeds: Grant of land in Woolton by Hugh son of Roger de Magna Wolueton to William son of John del Brokes

These knights and their archers are said to have "forced the Scots to give ground..." (source: Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, College of Arms, London, England). The following is an account of the battle excerpted from Encarta Encyclopedia: >Flodden Field, plain in Northumberland, England, on the border with Scotland, at the base of Flodden Hill, the northeastern continuation of the Cheviot Hills. It is the site of a celebrated battle, fought on September 9, 1513, in which a Scottish army commanded by James IV, king of Scotland, was defeated by the English under Thomas Howard, earl of Surrey (later 2nd duke of Norfolk), chief lieutenant of King Henry VIII of England. >Upon Henry's refusal to accede to his demand to cease making war on France, an ally of Scotland, James raised an army of 100,000 and invaded England. By the time the Scottish army reached Flodden Field, it had dwindled to about 30,000 as a result of desertions. The opposing English army was of equal strength. By nightfall a decisive English victory was obvious. The total Scottish wounded and dead amounted to some 10,000; English losses were about 4,000. Among the Scottish dead were King James, the archbishop of St. Andrew, 12 earls, and men from every important family in Scotland. The King's Stone, an unhewn granite pillar, is believed to mark the spot where James was killed. The battle is re-created in the sixth canto of the metrical romance, "Marmion, A Tale of Flodden Field," by the 19th-century Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott."

"Mr. Heskethe."] Richard Hesketh was a member of a Lancashire family not unknown either to history or heraldry. He was the second son of Robert Hesketh of Rufford Esq. and of Alice his wife, daughter of Sir Robert Booth of Dunham Massey Knt. and niece in half blood of Lawrence Booth, Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor, whose birth was not obscure, and whose merits were various. See Campbell's Lives of Lord Chancellors, vol. i. p. 389. Baines states (vol. iii. p. 427) that the Hesketh pedigree has been 'evidently drawn up with great care," and yet implies that Richard Hesketh's mother was not Alice Booth, (p. 426,) an altogether unwarranted implication. Nor is this the only erroneous statement in the pedigree, Richard Hesketh being there recorded as the husband of Grace, daughter of John Towneley of Towneley, whereas he married '''Elizabeth, daughter and heiress''' of Cuthburt Clifton of Clifton Esq. by his wife Alice, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Lawrence of Ashton Hall near Lancaster Knt. Having no issue by Richard Hesketh, whom she survived, '''she married secondly Sir William Molyneux of Sefton Knt. (a widower,) and had issue by him one son, who inherited her manor of Clifton, and two daughters'''. Grace, daughter of John Towneley, was the wife of Sir Robert Hesketh, the nephew of Richard here named;; whilst Thomas Hesketh, Richard's elder brother, married Grace, daughter of Sir Richard Towneley Knt. but had no child. — Harl. MS; Whitaker's Hist. of Whalley, p. 344 ; Maines, vol. iii. p. 428, Note; Lanc. MSS. vol. xii. Ped. Richard Hesketh belonged to a Lancastrian house, and being brought up to the law, was indebted for his promotion to the good offices of Margaret Countess of Richmond and Derby, the generous patroness of learned men. His influence in Lancashire was great, and his practice of the law profitable to himself, and it may be hoped not less so to *Pg.22 *his clients, as his name frequently occurs in Lancashire evidences, in conjunction with Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, Lawyer Hawarden, and others. In 1506 he was engaged in the great suit respecting the will and subsequent proceedngs of the feoffees of Warden Huntington of Manchester College, (Not. Cestr. vol. ii. part i. p. 60,) and he was apponted an executor of the will of Thomas first Earl of Derby K.G. dated July 28th and proved November 9th 1504, being therein styled "a trusty servant" of that potent nobleman. His official connection with the Derby family also led to his appointment as an executor of the will of Thomas the second Earl, who died 23rd May 1521, along with his brothers Thomas Hesketh, of Rufford Esq., Hugh Hesketh, Bishop of Man, and others, who are called the Earl's "trusty friends," Cardinal Wolsey, the Lord Chancellor, and Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter, being amongst the supervisors of the will — Testamenta Vetusta, vol. ii. pp. 460, 590. Richard Hesketh was appointed Attorney General of the Duchy of Lancaster by Henry VIII. and died in the year 1520, 12 Henry VIII. — Lanc.

The seventh and eighth quarters, viz., Clyfton, sable, on a bend argent, three mullets gules, and Lawrence, argent, a cross raguly gules, came in through the marriage of Henry, son of Thomas Halsall, with Anne, '''daughter to Sir William Molyneux, by his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter and coheiress''' of Cuthbert Clyfton of Clyfton, whose wife was the heiress of Sir John Lawrence. Anne was heir to her brother Thomas, '''son of Sir William Molyneux by this second marriage'''. (See her will, p. 143, pt. iii. of Wills and Inventories, vol. liv. of the Chetham series.) The next in descent to Henry, son of Thomas, was Richard, who, although married to Anne, daughter to Alexander Barlowe of Barlowe, does not appear to have left legitimate issue, for Richard's younger brother Edward, whose will is given (pt. ii., p. 214, vol. li. of the Chetham series), but who does not appear in the Visitations of 1567 and 1613, was evidently in possession of the estate of Halsall, in which he was succeeded by Cuthbert the natural son of Richard. This Cuthbert is named as alias Norres in the will of Anne, widow of Sir Henry. He married Dorothy, natural daughter to Henry fourth earl of Derby, and had two daughters only ; Anne married Thomas Clifton, son and heir of Cuthbert Clifton of Westby. Bridget had been contracted in her nonage to her kinsman Thomas *https://archive.org/stream/visitationlanca00britgoog#page/n92/mode/1up *Halsall, but did not marry him. See Dugdale's Visitation 1665, where four generations are recorded of collaterals of this line seated at Melling, Aughton and Bickerstaff. Sir Cuthbert, father of these two ladies, sold Halsall to Sir Gilbert Gerard, Master of the Bolls. * .... etc. _______________ *'''Remains, historical & literary, connected with the palatine counties of Lancaster and Chester Vol. LXXXI. by Chetham Society *''' The Visitation of the County Palatine of Lancaster, Made in the Year 1567, .... *https://archive.org/details/remainshistorica81chetuoft *https://archive.org/stream/remainshistorica81chetuoft#page/n67/mode/1up *Pg.42 ** Clifton of Westby. * .....
