In the reign of Edward II, Sir Simon de Montacute obtained a grant to a weekly market on Tuesday at his Manor
of Yar dlington, county of Somerset, and a fair on the eve day an d morrow after the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin. In th e 7th of Edward II [1314], he obtained a license of the Kin g to fortify his Manor house at
Yardlington. This Manor wa s very beautifully situated in a picturesque locality upo n a very fine lawn, and
remained in this family through man y descents until, through the last Countess of Salisbury, w ho was beheaded
at the age of 70 years by Henry VIII, it pa ssed to the Poles and thence to Henry Stafford, Duke of Buc kingham.
Sir Simon also owned the Manor of Goat-hill, grant ed to him by Edward I, and it descended to Gen. Thomas
Mont acute, 4th Earl of Salisbury, thence to Richard Neville, Ea rl of Warwick, and to John Neville, Marquis of
Montacute. S ir Simon bore as his coat of arms the original shield of hi s ancestor Drogo, viz., "Azure - a gryphon
segreant, or," b ut later changed the arms to "Argent three fusils in fess g ules."
Sir Simon married Aufricia, daughter of Fergus, King of Man , descended from Orry, King of Denmark. The
Historian recor ds that Aufricia, daughter of Fergus, King of Man, having f led to King Edward when

years. Their issue was William and Simon, the forme r succeeded his father and continued the line, the latter w as
