Sir Egerton Brydges in Collins's Peerage of England (1812) spends several
pages detailing the descendants of Sir Ralph Percy including the Widdrington and
Ellerker lines, even going so far as to need an apology in his eyes
[2:290-291]:
"The reader will pardon this long digression relating to a branch of this
noble family, which has hitherto been omitted in all former Pedigrees and
Genealogical Histories; and yet, the several individuals of it occurring in public
Records and General History, and being there mistaken for their relations of
the elder line, have occasioned a confusion, which it was thought deserving
this very minute inquiry to remove. We now return to the other issue of the
second Earl of Northumberland."³
