bullet  General Notes:

http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/VERNON.htm#William%20De%20VERNON%20(Sir)1

High Sheriff of Lancashire <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/sheriffs_of_lancashire.htm>. Chief Justice of Chester in 1229-36. He adopted the fretty sable, (upper left square in red) for his coat-of-arms. It was the custom in those early days for the oldest son to place a canton in that position in his father's shield. William became Lord Haddon, although his seat may not have been Haddon Hall. He commanded a company of perhaps the first archers (Welsh) to be used in the Norman wars, and was later a travelling judge with County Geoffrey Plantagenet in Normandy, representing King Henry II. Sir William, Chief Justice, protected the estates and interests of his half-brother, Robert de Vernon, whose two sons, Richard and Robert, were banished for taking the wrong sides in the English-Norman wars. He also arranged the marriage of Robert's daughter to his own son, Richard.
