| Shared note | Thomas Burdet of Arrow was a person of great note and figure in the county of Warwickshire. "Incurring the displeasure of King Edward IV in the 17th year of his reign, by his attachment to the Duke of Clarence, a strict espionage was placed over him, and an opportunity soon found to take away his life. Having intemporately wished the horns of a white buck, which he had heard that the king had killed in his park of Arrow, in the belly of the monarch's adviser, he was arraigned and convicted of high treason for these unguarded expressions, upon inference of a mischievous meaning to the sovereign himself, and was beheaded in 1477. "After his death a great contest for the manor of Arrow and other estates arose between Richard Burdet, his son by Agnes, daughter of John Waldeif, a former wife that had been, from nearness of kindred, divorced from him in 1464; and John Burdet, his son by Margaret, daughter of John Rodney : for the said Thomas (by licence from the crown) had alienated his lands to his younger son; of the injustice of which he became afterwards so sensible that as he was drawn from the Tower to the place of execution, espying the elder son at Westcheap, over against Sir Thomas Becket's hospital, he caused himself to be staid and there asked his said son's forgiveness, and acknowledging the wrong he had done him, concluded that to be the cause of God's vengeance then against him. But in the subsequent lawsuit, John the younger son succeeded, for Margaret, his mother, held her estate therein for life, and became the wife of Thomas Woodhill; notwithstanding which Richard prevailed with the said John and also with the said Margaret and her husband, to levy a fine of the manor of Arrow and other lands, and to give him possession thereof. The matter finally terminated by certain of the estates, including Arrow, passing to the daughter and heiress of Richard: Anne Burdet, and the remainder to the son and heir of John (himself who had attained the honor of knighthood, dying before the decision) : Thomas Burdett, who died in the reign of Henry VIII. "Poor Thomas was attainted 'for Poysoning, Sorcery, and Inchantment: that in the 17th year of the reign of Edward IV Richard Duke of Gloucester, in order to attain the Crown after his brother Edward IV, began to withdraw the King's Affections from his brother George, Duke of Clarence, and to that purpose whispered unto him that some of Clarence's followers were Sorcerers and Necromancers'....'the true cause (of his death) was the hard conceit and opinion which the King had of him, for that he had ever been a faithful friend and true counsellor to George Duke of Clarence his brother, between who there had been bitter emnity.' |
