Excerpt from Some Feudal Lords and Their Seals My Lords, The fact that a copy of the Barons' Letter to Pope Boniface in 1301 with their seals was admitted in evidence before the "Committee for Privileges" in the recent claim to the Baronies of Fauconberg, Darcy (de Knayth), and Meinill, has revived the peculiar interest attaching to this ancient record. As the majority of these Feudal Barons served with Edward the First in his later wars, the history of their lives and actions is in miniature the history of those times. Partly for this reason, and partly because of the rare series of heraldic seals formerly attached to the letter, I have ventured in all diffidence to put forth this illustrated historical account for your Lordships' most generous consideration.
