NOTES
1). The noblest subject in England, and indeed, as Engli s h m e n loved to say, the noblest subject in Europe, wa s Au b r e y de Vere, twentieth and last of the old Earls o f Oxf or d . H e derived his title through an uninterrupte d mal e des ce nt , from a time when the families of Howar d and S eymou r we r e still obscure, when the Nevills an d the Perc ys enj oye d on ly a provincial celebrity, and w hen even th e grea t nam e o f Plantaganet had not yet bee n heard in En gland . One ch ie f of the house of De Vere h ad held the hi gh com mand at H ast ings another had march ed, with Godfre y and T ancred, ov er h eaps of slaughtere d Moslems, to th e sepulch re of Chris t. Th e first Earl o f Oxford had bee n ministe r of King Henr y Beau clerc. Th e third earl had b een conspi cuous among th e lord s who e xtorted the great c harter fro m King John. Th e sevent h e arl had fought brave ly at Cress y and Poietiers . The thi r teenth earl had, thr ough many vi cissitudes of fo rtune , bee n the chief of th e party of th e Red Rose, and h a d led the v an on the deci sive day of Bo sworth. The sev ente enth earl ha d shone a t the court of Qu een Elizabeth , and h ad won for hi msel f an honorable plac e among th e early mast ers of Engli s h poetry. The nineteen th ear l had fallen in a rms for th e Pr otestant religion, a nd f or the liberties o f Europe , under t he walls of Maestr ic ht. His son, Aubrey , in who m closed th e longest and mo s t illustrious line o f noble s that Englan d has seen , a ma n of loose morals, wa s lordlieutenant of E ssex a nd colon el of the Blues. To t hes e remarks, Burke i n hi s Vicissit udes of Families, ventu r ed thus to refer Such is Macaulay s glowing and eloquent eulogiu m o n t h e D e Veres so eloquent, in deed, that one regre ts t ha t th e pa negyric is somewhat exaggerated, and scar cel y con siste nt wi th recorded fact. The line of the Ear ls o f Oxfo rd wa s certa inly the longest, but as certainl y, no t the m ost il lustriou s that England had seen. In p ersona l achiev ement a nd histor ical importance the De Ve res ca n bear n o comparis on with th e Talbots, the Howard s, th e Nevills , the Percys , or the Scr opes in antiquit y of d escent, th e Courtenays , the De Bohun s, and the Be auchamp s were in a ll respects t heir equals, an d in sple ndor o f alliances, m any a less dis tinguished famil y fa r surpas sed them. Ther e was scarcely o ne of our gran d o ld house s of the times o f the Henrys an d the Edward s that h ad no t more royal bloo d. Nevertheless , I must f reely admit , a lthough I cannot s ubscribe to th e pre emi nence Macaul a y assigns, that thi s famous house, i f infe rior to any , wa s only so in the ve ry first, to the m os t historic an d to th e most illustriou s of our ancient n o bility. Alberic Aubrey I. de Vere, Count Aubrey, Sanglier, m a r r ied before 1139 Beatrix of Ghisnes, Countess of G his n e s i n her own right, and daughter of Henry, Count o f Gh is ne s, a nd his wife Sibylla Alberic possessed numer ous l ord shi ps i n different shires, of which Cheniston now Ke nsin gton , co . Middlesex, was one, and Hedingham , co. Es sex , wher e his c astle was situated, and where h e chiefl y res ided, a nother. Alberic assumed the cowl in his later days, and di e d a m o n k in 1088 he was buried in the church of Coln e P riory , w hi ch he founded. He was succeeded by his eld es t son, A lber ic.
