Families covered: Revel of Cold Aston, Revel of Stannington
| For its interest value, and because there are some indications that at parts of it were based (loosely?) on real people even though there is a suspiciously large number of knights, we start with the pedigree shown in MS170 but draw attention to the fact that Hunter advises that "no dependance is to be placed on it for anything above Gregory". We show the 'false' pedigree in italics. It starts with two supposed brothers. | |||||||||||||||

| FMG (MS172, part) appears to show the connections to the undermentioned John & Robert as dotted, implying some uncertainty. | |||||||||||||||

| FMG shows Richard as "of Brampton-en-le-Morthen (Q.)". MS172 (part) notes that such a Richard was "son of Sir John, and brother of Gregory Revel of Stannington; b. about 1530". We note that the pedigree shown above for Gregory, which is shown but discredited by FMG, shows Gregory's father as Sir John. MS172 shows Richard of Brampton-en-le-Morthen as father of ... | |||||||||||||||
