Next come the arms of Talbott of Richard's castle, which are in fact the arms of Mortimer; Richard Talbot, who died 1340, having married Joan, daughter and heir of Hugh de Mortimer of Richard's Castle, and with the inheritance having taken the Mortimer arms. These I presume to be the arms of her mother's family, and I notice that no christian name is prefixed to Talbot, any more than to Dengaynes. She places the Talbot shield before her father's, probably as being the more honourable family.
Having in the above extract from Camden, mentioned the lords FitzTees, or Tey, I may here add that a portion of the Filz-Tees inheritance probably came to the Herveys by the marriage of John Hervey with Frances Booking. For the mother of Frances Booking was daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Tey, knight, and her daughter brought the Tey arms to the Herveys. (See plate 11.)
I may also add that it is very observable how certain families are mixed up, and appear to be connected with one another. Stutcville, Hastings, and Foliot at Elsing, and Cressinghall in Norfolk, and elsewhere; Stuteville and Say at Richard's Castle, Stutevillo and Talbot, Stuteville and Glanville, Stutcville and Gant, Glanville and Gant, Gant and De Clare, Stuteville and Hubert Walter, Stuteville and Gournay,Gournay and Talbot, Stuteville and Valoines, Valoines and Glanville, Stuteville and Mortimer of Richard's Castle, Talbot and Butler, Argentine and Stuteville,&c., &c. (See Dugdale's Baronage passim; Carte's Life of Ormond, introd., Stc.) It is therefore curious that as we find Hervey in the earlier times mixed up with Glanvilles, Valoines, De Clare's, Walter, **. e. Butler, &c, so we afterwards see various connections in later times of Hervey with Foliot, Talbot, Ar
