Families covered: Sydney (Sidney) of Stoke Dabernon (D'Abernon)
| Sir William Sydney (bur 1188) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) This is presumably the Sir William Sydney who is reported by BE1883 (Sydney) to have been Chamberlain to King Henry II (who r. 1154-1189). This pedigree is brought into doubt by TCP (Leicester) which reports: "The family descends from John de Sydenie, a Surrey yeoman, who lived on a farm at Alford in the reign of Edward I. When, however, Sir Henry, father of the first (Sydney) Earl of Leicester, instructed Robert Cooke, the "rascally King of Arms", to prepare his pedigree, such a descent was not thought fine enough, and various high-placed apocryphal ancestors were invented, beginning with a William de Sidne, Knight, in the service of Henry II, and continuing through a long line of knights whose existence was established by various grants and deeds which the ingenious but unprincipled Clarenceux forged." Consequently, the whole of this page should be viewed with some scepticism! (2) This page was originally prepared using the web site 'TUDOR', which spells the family name as 'Sydney', as the Main Source. It was reviewed & redone on 18.04.17 using Berry's CountyGen which spells the family name as 'Sidney'. Provisionally, we have retained the original spelling. |
