Excerpt from An Index to the Wills Proved at the Peculiar Court of Hawarden and to Miscellaneous Papers Relating to the Same Court (Now Preserved at the St. Asaph Court of Probate), From 1554 to 1800The last Baron of Montalt settled his lands upon Isabella, wife of Edward II., who transferred the Castle and Manor of Hawarden to William de Montacute, Earl of Salisbury, in exchange for other property. In 1406 the Montacutes forfeited their possession on account of treason, and Henry V. Granted the advowson of Hawarden, together with the lordship and Castle, to Thomas, Duke of Clarence, who was slain in battle in 1420. Hawarden subsequently passed to the Stanleys, the Nevilles, and then again to the Stanleys, Earls of Derby, with which family it remained until the time of the Civil War, when Sergeant Glynne purchased the inheritance of Hawarden Castle and Rectory. On the Glynne family becoming extinct in the male line on the death of the late Sir Stephen R. Glynne, Bart, the property passed under his will to his nephew, the late Mr. Wm. H. Gladstone, and on the death of the latter to his son, Mr. William Glynne Charles Gladstone, m.p., the present owner and Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
