e 1522. In 1516 the latest I have found is dat d , the King ,

of to as Lord Haverford, granted him and his wife Catherine ’ a fo r 21 a o f £1 5 o f lease years, at rental , the King s Mills at Haverford, with the weir and fishery . He must have

a 1524 been de d in , as in that year the custody of his son

r wa s e b Robert, du ing his minority, grant d y the King to t 23 two knigh s . This Robert would seem to be the Robert Perrot who was afterwards reader in Greek to Edward VI ;

e his elder brother, who succe ded to Haroldston, was another d of Sir Thomas, who married Mary Berkeley, the aughter a gentleman o f the bed-chamber to Henry VI II and grand f daughter o Lord Berkeley . i This fair lady had a share in mak ng local history, for it is doubtles s to her influence with the King that the uni que privileges were granted to Haverf ordwest (which in of 1 8th — d the d—ark age the century were a n have been since confused with those of the ordi na ry town and o u n te n c ty) , and that af r she married her seco d husband,

55 T P rr t he e o s .

G ’ the three lordships were , to eorge Owen s indignation, cut o ff from Pembrokeshire to increas e the area of Ca rm a r 25 the nshi re . A That husband was Sir Thomas Johns, of ber marlais, co . Carmarthen, who occupied Haroldston in i n 1541 right of his wife, and was ( ) the first of the annual sheriffs of Pem brokeshire . He was also knight of that e dl shire, and the lord of Kemes does not hesitat to roun y

e of cal l him a traitor . Mary Berkeley was the moth r the

s s o f most di tingui hed man the name of Perrot, but he had

e a little right to b r the name, for he was the son of King I h Henry VI I, whom he muc resembled in person and “ characte r .

This was Sir John Perrot . There is an excellent

1 626 hi s ffi . Of public life it is su cient to say that he was

o f o f made a Knight the Bath at the coronation Edward VI,

o f 1570 1573 that he was President Munster from to , and

L 1 585 to 1 588 1579 ord Deputy of Ireland from , that in he was appointed Admi ral of a fleet rais ed fo r the defence in 1592 of Ireland, that he was condemned for treason , w and died in the To er of London in that year . For his

s : n Pembroke hire life he was born at Haroldsto , and lived

e u t hi s 18th the th re n il year, when, in accordance with

the he e s e o f custom of time, was s nt to the hou hold the

1 563 a nd e - h i n s , made a vic admiral t ereof the previou year) and it wa s at Haroldston that he harbo u red the ’ Protestants at the beginning of Mary s reign, for which

w e a th rn he a s denounc d by C a e of Prendergas t . He was committed to the Fleet, but soon released ; and we find him

k o f . serving abroad under his insman, the Earl Pembroke He has left a splendid memorial o f hi s love fo r the home

1 580 i m of his boyhood in his benefaction, in , for the

o f s provement Haverfordwe t, of which town he was mayor

1570 1575 1576 . e in , , and Sir John Perrot rec ived his ’ s e s e early education at St . David s , as he him lf tat s in a

a a nd the s l W lsingham, at ame time he wrote to Burgh ey prote s ting against a proposed Act o f Parliament fo r the ” o f r f the removal the Cathed al Church o See to Brecon .

i s hi s But notw th tanding these traits in character, Perrot was the terror of Pem brokes hire from hi s haughty de m e a no u r e s , his delight in litigation, and the crowd of r tainer he kept about him . There is among the Lansdowne

MSS . at the British Museum a list of the Pembrokeshire

but the re is nothing to show that he came from this county .

e e There are several chart rs ref rring to William, and we ha ve now happil y reached the ti me when these documents

r e o f a e dated, a custom which began about the r ign Edward II ; but some of these charters appear to refer to a

1 324 f n second Willi am . In he held o the Earl o e fee at La Roche worth £20 ; in 1326 he held of the bishop

ne 1 36 of Fermoy, as above mentio d ; and in 7 he granted a

a o f s le se another mes uage and land at Roch to Henry,

a t son of Thomas Baret, for life, a nominal rent ; but

to s Henry is guard the castle and the pri oners, to do all necessary mason or carpenter work for repairs, and to dig to stones for certain works, which then seemed have been in the to progress there, the gael tenants of manor provide the carriage . But it is probable that thes e two last docum ents refer

s o n 1298 to another William, a and successor ; and in we have a grant from Philip o f Angle to William de la Roche o f A Il on d lands at ngle, Sepin (Sheep Island) , and the 4 0 i e to windmill at Angle . (Windm lls w re introduced this county by the Flemings long before they became general in England . ) The explanation may be that William (the

t hi s second) lef as heiress his sister Margot, whose only child Margaret married Sir Roger de Clarendon , and died

1382 o f without issue in , when the barony Roche was — divided among the repres entatives of the co heiresses

who gum, was descended from the David above mentioned, who married Johanna . The barony of Roch consisted of the present parishes o f o Tre f a rn Roch, Nolt n, Camrose and g , and we have seen how widely the ir possessions were distributed in other parts of the coun ty . There was doubtless a fortress at

the Roch from early times, but present castle was built at the close of the 1 3th century (there are later additions and some Tudor windows) and there is evidence that the il “ bu ding was not completed . It does not appear that the de la Roches lived there after they had attain e d to their
