MARGERY ANTRON<br />
Margery De Antrenon (Antron) was the daughter of Peter Antrenon (Antron) Lord of the Manor of Antron, Sithney, by his wife<br />
Claricia Peverell who was the 4 x great granddaughter of William the Conqueror by his mistress. (Claricia’s father was Hugh<br />
Peverell Lord of the Manor of Sampford Peverell in Devon).<br />
EGLOSHAYLE, CORNWALL.<br />
Park, that is, a field of any sort, otherwise in this parish it signifies a deer-park, was one of the ancient seats of the Peverells, lineally<br />
descended from William the Conqueror, by Jane his concubine, the wife of Randolph Peverell of Hatfield- Peverell parish in<br />
Witham Decanatus, in the county of Essex, who abdicated the said Jane, and left her wholly on the Conquerors hands, who had<br />
issue by her a son, named William Peverell, (who, because born during the joint marriage and lives of the said Randolph<br />
and Jane, was surnamed Peverell) upon whom the Conqueror settled the honor, manor, and borough of Nottingham, and town of<br />
Lyndeby, on him, and his heirs male.<br />
William Peverell the illegitimate son of the Conquorer had at the time of the Domesday Book Lordship of 162 Manors in England,<br />

A William Antron of Antron, M. P. for Helston 1491-1492 was one of the Cornish rebellions who were executed after<br />
Blackheath(1497). This was the rebellion due to heavy taxation because of the war with Scotland. The leader was a Michael Joseph<br />

CORNWALL IN PARLIAMENT by Lawrence<br />
Not all boroughs returned their members especially with reference to Helston - which the borough could not afford to pay their<br />
members wages or else the members elected considered the journey to parliament too far. In the 1351/52 parliament Johannes De<br />
Tremayn appears not only as member for Bodmin but also for Helston, while in the 1355 parliament he is returned as the member for<br />
Cornwall county, Bodmin & Liskeard.<br />
A Tremayne (Johannes De Tremaen or Tremayn) was in parliament for Helston as far back as 1323 (EDW11). A Johannes De<br />
Tremayn sat for the county in 1334 and in 1344 (EDW111) and in this last named parliament ( Johannes Fils Johannes De Tremaen)<br />
was member for Launceston, so on through successive reigns until 1880 the Tremayne family again and again were Cornish knights<br />
of the shire or burgesses for either Helston, Liskeard, Lostwithiel, Tregony and Truro.<br />

British-history.ac.uk Historical events<br />
In the year 1322, we are told that a great multitude of the Cornish men, women, and children, being smitten with a strange<br />
enthusiasm, and convinced that they should conquer the Holy Land, left their native country, and, wandering about in foreign parts,<br />
some were executed for various transgressions, and others imprisoned; those who escaped, returned home not a little ashamed of<br />
their folly.<br />
1315-1316 Total failure of the harvest in Cornwall through bad weather.<br />
