One of the most distinguished bishops of the Catholic church in Belgium in the 17th century was without doubt the Englishman, George Chamberlain, who occupied the see of Ypres from 1627 to 1634, the year of his death.

Joseph Gillow in his “Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics” gives a notice of Giles Hussey, the Artist, and refers to other members of the family only en passant. Following, no doubt, Hutchins “History of Dorset” and Burke's “Landed Gentry”, he gives Elizabeth Hussey’s maiden name as Walcot and states that she was the daughter of Charles Walcot of Waloot, Salop. This statement has been repeated many times; but Charles Walcot had no daughter named Elizabeth. An attempt is made here to set out the genealogy of the Marnhull Husseys on the basis of memoranda written in 1740 by a grandson of the George Hussey who purchased Marnhull Manor in 1651. These memoranda appeared in “Notes and Queries for Somerset and Dorset,” Vol.xv, 1916–7, pp. 220–224 (cited here as N, & Q.).

An original document of the early seventeenth century in the form of a letter, kept in the archives of the English College, Valladolid (1.), gives a remarkable description of the holy life and happy death of an unnamed Recusant peer, who died in England at seven o’ clock in the morning of 2 April 1630. The letter is dated by the writer the next day and is evidently an exchange between two priests, who had been intimate with the deceased and were well known to one another.

So little has been published on this martyr (1) that it will be convenient to begin by referring to a recently discovered document which (although not having an Exchequer origin) throws some light on his family and helps us to understand, in particular:, the subsequent history of his wife's recusancy. This is a Chancery inquisition-post mortem. (2) drawn up at Leeds on 29 April, 1598 – within a month after his execution – by William Holmes, the Escheator for Yorkshire, its object being to ascertain the character of the estate held by him at the time of his death, and whether any legal obstacle lay in the way of the forfeiture, of the property to the Crown by reason of his attainder for felony.

Father Constantine was a notable member of the Capuchin Province of Paris at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth centuries. Known as Polydore Morgan before joining the Capuchins, he was brought up a Catholic and having completed his studies on the Continent was ordained a secular priest. His identity has never been established with certainty for there were at least two contemporaries with the same name, but it is probable that he was one of the Morgans of Llantarnam in Monmouthshire. According to J.B. Wainewright (1), he was the nephew of Thomas Morgan, the agent of Mary, Queen of Scots, If this opinion be true, then Fr. Constantine, after his ordination in Rome, visited the English College at Rheims, where he arrived on May 12th, 1562; he left the College on the 28th of the same month, presumably with the intention of going to England; he returned to Rheims on November 2nd, 1582, and left the College again on March 22nd, 1585 (2). Fr. Gilbert, O.F.M. Cap., however, states that Fr. Constantine was the cousin of the agent Thomas Morgan (3). This cousin was a prisoner in the Gatehouse on July 29th, 1580; he was released from prison on August 8th, 1582. Marcellin de Pise (1594–1656), the Capucnin annalist, on whose account of Fr. Constantine we rely for much of what follows, after stating that the friar was of good family and was ordained a secular prieat, goea on to say that immediately after his ordination the young priest aet out for England before he had aaid hia firat Maas. On hia arrival, he adds, he waa arreated and oaat into priaon and it was as a prisoner that he celebrated hia first Mass (4). This must have been an unusual, if not unique, occurance even in those unsettled times.

Thomas Bourchier, the Franciscan martyrologist, writing of the Venerable Thomas Belchiam (d. 3 August 1537) gives the following curious fragment of information: after Belchiam’s death, he says, a congenital idiot named William Sommer went running about the court shouting “The simplicity of one mendicant breaks the pride of the King” (1). In view of Bourchier’s general unsatisfactoriness as a historian one is disposed fo regard with suspicion any of his statements which cannot be corroborated, buk in this instance there i s good reason to believe that his information i s correct, or at least founded on fact.

In the middle ages the Fairfaxes ranked amongst the minor landed gentry of Yorkshire. They seem to have risen to this status in the thirteenth century, partly by buying land out of the profits of trade in York, partly by successful marriages. But they remained of little importance until the later fifteenth century. They had, by then, produced no more than a series of bailiffs of York, a treasurer of York Minster and one knight of the shire. The head of the family was not normally a knight. The family property consisted of the two manors of Walton and Acaster Malbis and house property in York. But in the later fifteenth century and onwards the fortunes of the family were in the ascendant and they began a process of quite conscious social climbing. At the same time they began to increase considerably in numbers. The three main branches, with al1 their cadet lines, were fixed by the middle of the sixteenth century – the senior branch, Fairfax of Walton and Gilling, the second branch, Fairfax of Denton, Nunappleton, Bilhorough and Newton Kyme, the third branch, Fairfax of Steeton. It is very important for any attempt to assess the strength and nature of Catholicism in Yorkshire to try to understand the strong family – almost clan – unity of these pushing, rising families. While adherence to Catholicism could be primarily a personal choice in the face of family ties and property interests, the history of the Faith in Yorkshire was conditioned greatly at every point by the strength of those ties and interests. The minute genealogy and economic history of the gentry has therefore a very direct bearing on recusant history.
