Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Savile Correspondence: Letters to and From Henry Savile, Esq., Envoy at Paris, and Vice-Chamberlain to Charles II. And James II.; Including Letters From His Brother George Marquess of Halifax The family of Savile was one of the most, if not the most, illustrious in the west riding of the county of York. Some writers have fancifully ascribed to it an Italian origin, Init it probably had its rise at Silkston. It certainly flourished in those parts in the 13th century; and in the middle of the 14th century we find (1358), Margaret Savile, prioress of Kirklees. In the same reign of Edward III. the family divided itself into two main branches, in the persons of two brothers, John of Tankersley, and Henry of Bradley. The senior branch, to which the following pages relate, acquired its greatest renown in the person of George first Marquess of Halifax. The junior branch is mentioned in these letters as also of Copley and Methley, and having produced one of the most learned men of our country, Sir Henry Savile, the Provost of Eton, and founder of the Savilian professorships of astronomy and geometry in the University of Oxford; and his brother, John Savile, a Baron of the Exchequer (1598-1607), is now represented by the Earl of Mexborough. John Savile, of Tankersley, made an addition to his estate by his marriage with Isabella, the daughter and coheir of Sir Thomas Eland, and from this estate Sir George Savile took the name of his barony. An only sister and heiress married a son of Lord Darcy. The second son, Henry Savile, still further increased the family importance by marrying Elizabeth, the daughter and heir of Sir Simon Thornhill, and thus acquired the estates at Thornhill, and probably of Lupset.
