166 DEPONENTS IN FAVOUR OF
Richard Lord LORD POYNINGS. Richard Poynings fourth Lord Poyn-
ings, was the second son of Michael second Lord Poynings, by Joan relict of Sir John Molyns. He succeeded his brother Thomas in the barony in 1375, at which time he was seventeen years of age, so that he must have been about twenty-eight when he made his deposition. He served in the wars of his time with credit, if not with particular distinction ; and died at Villa Pando in Castile * in July or August 1387. By his wife Isabel, daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Fitz Payne [IV], he left issue, Robert fifth Lord Pojmings, then five years of age, and a daughter, Joan. On the death of the said Robert Lord Poynings in 1446, the barony became vested in the house of Percy by the marriage of Sir Henry Percy, afterwards third Earl of Northumberland, with Eleanor Poynings his grand-daughter and heiress.

Lord Poynings, being sworn and examined, said, that during the time he was armed, which was from his youth, he saw the said Sir Richard armed Azure, a bend Or, and many of his name and lineage with difierences; and that he had heard from his late father, on whom God have mercy, that the said arms appertained to the said Sir Richard by right of ancestry, but that he had never heard that the said Sir Robert Grosvenor had been so armed until the last expedition in Scotland.
