E 210/5741, Date: 11 Richard II [1387-1388].

"Will, indented, of Leonard de Kerdeston, knight, son of William de Kerdeston, made on leaving the country on the King's expedition; confirms his father's will as to founding a chantry in Reepham church; bequests for improvement of Reepham and Hillington (Helgheton) churches; to his wife Margaret, one-third of the manors of Kerdiston, Claxton, Hillington, Syderstone and Swanton Novers, and the reversion of the manor of [East] Ruston (Ryston) after the death of Cecily his mother." END OF QUOTE.

Recently I came across the will of Lady Elizabeth Elmham dated 1 December 1419, proved 18 February 1419/20 [Reference: Registered Wills, 56-57 Hyrning, Consistory Court of Norwich, found on FHL Microfilm 94857]. Lady Elmham can be identified as the widow of Thomas Caterton and William Elmham, Knt., and the daughter of Hugh de Hastings, Knt. (died 1369), by his wife, Margaret de Everingham [Reference: Roskell et al., House of Commons 1386-1421, 3 (1992): 13-17 (biog. of Sir William Elmham)].

Reviewing this will, I find that Lady Elizabeth Elmham named various Hastings near relations, among them her niece, Lady Margaret Kerdeston. Thus, it appears that Lady Margaret Kerdeston was the child of one of Lady Elmham's Hastings siblings. Of these siblings, we have two possible candidates available as the parent of Lady Margaret Kerdeston, one being Lady Elmham's brother, Sir Hugh de Hastings, died 1386 (husband of Anne le Despenser), and one being her sister, Joan Hastings (wife of Thomas Morley, K.G., 4th Lord Morley).

To date, no clear evidence has surfaced which proves which of Lady Elmham's siblings is the parent of Lady Margaret Kerdeston. However, I presently lean towards the position that Lady Margaret Kerdeston was the daughter of Joan Hastings, by Thomas Morley. One piece of evidence is onomastic, as we find that Lady Margaret Kerdeston named a son, Thomas, which given name is found regularly in the Morley family. If Lady Kerdeston was a Morley, it would explain the appearance of the given name Thomas for her son. I note also that Lady Margaret Kerdeston's son, Sir Thomas Kerdeston, twice employed Sir Thomas Morley (died 1435), 5th Lord Morley, grandson of Joan Hastings, as a feoffee (see abstracts of documents below). Sir Thomas Morley, 5th Lord Morley, however, was the also husband of Sir Thomas Kerdeston's sister-in-law, Isabel de la Pole, which might better explain the close association of these two parties.

While this evidence is suggestive, further research is needed to clearly establish Lady Margaret Kerdeston's parentage.

However, he kept diplomatic relations with the pope, promising conversion in exchange for political concessions.

According to late tradition, Gedymin founded Vilnius, first mentioned in historical documents in 1323, during his reign, and so he established his capital there. He then continued the struggle against the Teutonic Order but also greatly expanded Lithuania by absorbing various Russian princedoms, and titling himself 'King of Lithuanians and Russians'. He died in 1341 of a wound received at the siege of Wiclowa.²

     "identity of his father is uncertain.
     "Iziaslav of Polatsk, one of the founders of the first historical state in Belarusia, was born before 980. His mother was Ragneda Ravalodovna, heiress of Polatsk, daughter of the Varangian leader Rogvolod (Ragnvald) who had formed a principality for himself in the mid-900s in Polatsk, one of the Viking (Varangian) lordships settled in that century.
     "The Suzdal Chronicle reports that Ragneda already had Iziaslav when, in or about 980, Vladimir of Novgorod (the later grand duke of Kiev who converted the Rus from paganism to Christianity) conquered Polatsk and forced Ragneda to marry him. Having raped Ragneda in the presence of her parents, he ordered them to be killed, along with two of Ragneda's brothers.
     "Iziaslav, the elder son of Ragneda, became the holder of the lands of Polatsk, his mother's homeland, which today is northern Belarusia. According to legend, in keeping with Norse tradition the young Iziaslav was sent to Polatsk by Vladimir with his mother Ragneda to govern the lands of her parents.
     "According to a later chronicle, Ragneda started to plot against her spouse Vladimir, and tried to persuade Iziaslav to kill him. Despite possibly opposing his overlord Vladimir, Iziaslav continued to rule Polatsk without recorded problems until his death in 1001, a year before his mother, who had entered a convent after being divorced by Vladimir.
     "Iziaslav's descendants were able to rule his maternal family's lands for several centuries, until the Mongol invasion, long enough to form the identity of the country of Belarusia. A town there, Izyaslavl, was named after him."⁴

     "Bryachislav Izyaslavich (Belarusian: ????????? ?????????, Russian: ????????? ?????????) (c. 997 – 1044) was the prince of Polotsk between 1001 and 1044. His name, possibly, may have been of something in approximation to Vratislav or Wroclaw. He was son of Izyaslav Vladimirovich. During his reign Polotsk was at war with Kiev and Novgorod. In 1015 he has inherited the city of Lutsk after the death of his grandfather Vladimir I of Kiev.
     "Bryachislav Izyaslavich was born in Polotsk. Either upon his father's death in 1001 or his minor brother Vseslav's in 1003, he inherited the Principality of Polotsk, himself being a child at this time (his grandparents married about 978). Under his rule, Polotsk attempted to distance itself from Kiev. Tensions were exacerbated by the fact that, under the East Slavic house law, since Izyaslav predeceased his father and never reigned in Kiev, his descendants from the House of Polotsk forfeited their dynastic rights to the Kievan throne being classified as izgoi (outcast). In 1020 Bryachislav managed to sack Novgorod, but on his way back he was confronted by an army of his uncle, Yaroslav the Wise. Bryachislav suffered a defeat during the battle on the Sudoma River and fled, leaving behind his Novgorodian prisoners and loot. Yaroslav chased him down and forced him to sign a peace agreement in 1021, granting him only two cities of Usvyat and Vitebsk. Despite this peace agreement, the hostilities between Bryachislav and Yaroslav continued for years. Eventually he extended the territory of his principality and established the city of Braslaw.
     "The name of his spouse or consort is unknown and he had at least one son, Vseslav of Polotsk, who was the ancestor of all the following Polotsk princes and the only one of them to rule in Kiev.
     "Bryachislav died in Polatsk in 1044.
The Saga of Eymund
     "The Saga of Eymund (written in the 13th century) draws a different picture in the relationship between Polotsk and Kiev. It states that after the victory over Sviatopolk Yaroslav demanded from Bryachislav to yield some of his territories. The last one refused and drew his troops to the border of his realm. To wage a war Yaroslav sent Ingegerd who was taken hostage by Bryachislav and acted as a mediator in the negotiations between Yaroslav and Bryachislav. The conditions of the mentioned negotiations were following: Bryachislav accepts Kiev, Yaroslav was left with Novgorod while being recognized as the konung of Garðaríki, while Eymund the mercenary was awarded Polotsk. After a short while Bryachislav died and Yaroslav attained all of his territories. Numerous historians (O.Senkovsky and M.Sverdlov) reason the fact of Bryachislav gaining the rights on Kiev and Eymund on Polotsk by both being appointed by the konung of Garðaríki."⁷

     "Wseslaw took the throne of Polatzk in 1044 on his father's death. He was the senior member of the Ryurik dynasty (descendants of Ryurik, Duke Novgorodskij (835-879)) for his generation, but as his father had not been prince in Kiev, Wseslaw was excluded from the grand ducal succession.
     "Unable to secure the capital, which was held by the three sons of Jaroslav I Vladimirovitch, grand duke of Kiev, Wseslaw started pillaging the northern area of Kievan Rus'. In 1065 he laid siege to Pskov but was thrown back. In the winter of 1066-1067 he pillaged and burnt Nowgorod the Great, removing the bell and other religious objects from the Cathedral of Holy Wisdom and bringing them to decorate his own cathedral of the same name in Polatsk.

     "Vseslav of Polotsk or Vseslav Bryachislavich (c. 1039 – 24 April 1101), also known as Vseslav the Sorcerer or Vseslav the Seer, was the most famous ruler of Polotsk and was briefly Grand Prince of Kiev in 1068–1069. Together with Rostislav Vladimirovich and voivode Vyshata, they created a coalition against the Yaroslaviches' triumvirate. Polotsk's Cathedral of Holy Wisdom (completed in 1066) is one of the most enduring monuments on the lands of modern Belarus and dates to his 57-year reign.
Biography
     "Vselav was the son of Bryachislav Izyaslavich, Prince of Polotsk and Vitebsk, and was thus the great-grandson of Vladimir I of Kiev and Rogneda of Polotsk. He was born in c. 1030–1039 in Polotsk (with Vasilii as his baptismal name) and married around 1060.
     "He took the throne of Polotsk in 1044 upon his father's death, and although since 1093 he was the senior member of the Rurik Dynasty for his generation, since his father had not been prince in Kiev, Vseslav was excluded (izgoi) from the grand princely succession. In fact, since he was the only major prince in Rus not descended from Yaroslav, he was, according to Simon Franklin and Jonathan Shepard, "an outsider from within" [1]
     "Unable to secure the capital, which was held by Yaroslav's three sons, Vseslav started pillaging the northern areas of Kievan Rus. In 1065, he laid siege to Pskov but was thrown back. In the winter of 1066–1067, he pillaged and burnt Novgorod the Great, removing the bell and other religious objects from the Cathedral of Holy Wisdom and bringing them to decorate his own cathedral of the same name in Polotsk.[2] His attack threatened to cut the sons of Yaroslav in the Middle Dnieper region off from Scandinavia, the Baltic region, and the far north, important sources of men, trade, and income (in furs for example) for the Rus princes in the Middle Dnieper. The attack also forced the young Mstislav, then enthroned in Novgorod, to flee back to his father, Iziaslav, in Kiev, and was thus and affront to the Kievan grand prince. The Yaroslavichi joined forces and marched north, sacking Minsk (then under the control of Polotsk) and defeating Vseslav in battle on the Nemiga River on March 3, 1067 [3] Vseslav fled but was treacherously captured during the peace talks in June, when Iziaslav violated his oath.[4] He was then imprisoned in Kiev.
As Grand Prince of Kiev
     "During the Kiev Uprising of 1068, brought about by defeat at the hands of the Kipchaks on the Alta River and Iziaslav's unwillingness to arm the veche so its members could march out and face the nomads a second time, the crowd freed Vseslav from prison, and proclaimed him grand prince of Kiev, forcing Iziaslav to flee to Poland. Returning with an army seven months later, Iziaslav retook his throne, and Vseslav fled back to Polotsk.[5] After several years of complicated struggle with Iziaslav of Kiev, he finally secured Polotsk in 1071. During the last 30 years of his reign, his chief enemies were Vsevolod Yaroslavich and his son Vladimir Monomakh.
     "Vseslav died April 24, 1101, the Wednesday before Good Friday according to the Russian Primary Chronicle—indeed the chronicles strangely link the two events, as if the sorcerer had died as a result of the crucifixion and resurrection. He was buried in the Cathedral of Holy Wisdom in Polotsk.[6]
Family
     "Vseslav had six sons:
1. Roman (?-1114/1116), Prince of ? (probably of Drutsk). Roman perished either in Ryazan or Murom. His widow became a nun and lived in Polotsk, Saint Sophia Cathedral where she opened her charity. They had no children.
2. Gleb Vseslavich, Prince of Minsk;
3. Rogvolod-Boris, Prince of Drutsk; There are some discussion whether Vseslav had six or rather seven sons. Some historians (L.Alekseev and Vasily Tatishchev) believe that Boris is baptized name of Rogvolod and both of them one and the same person.
4. Davyd, Prince of Polotsk,
5. Sviatoslav, Prince of Vitebsk;
6. Rostislav (?-?). He presumably was the Prince of Lukoml and later in 1129 sent by Vladimir II Monomakh to Byzantium with the rest of Vseslaviches. Who was his wife is uncertain as well as his descendants.
     "St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk is sometimes said to be his daughter, although her date of birth is given as 1120, two decades after Vseslav's death and thus she could not be his child; other sources, however, say she is the daughter of Sviatoslav Vseslavich, and thus the granddaughter of Vseslav. She founded a number of monasteries in Polotsk and the surrounding region and is considered one of the patron saints of Belarus.
Vseslav in literature and legend
Vseslav in chronicles
     "Vseslav had a great reputation for sorcery. The Russian Primary Chronicle states that he was conceived by sorcery and was born with a caul (a veil of birth membrane) on his head, and that the sorcerers told his mother that this should be bound to his head for the rest of his life as it was a sign of good luck.[7] In modern Belarusian he is known as Usias?a? the Sorcerer; in Russian he is Vselav Charadei or Vseslav Veshchii, Vseslav the Sorcerer or Vseslav the Seer.
Vseslav in The Tale of Igor's Campaign
     "Vseslav also appears in the 12th-century epic The Tale of Igor's Campaign, where, as in several byliny or folk-tales, he is depicted as a werewolf. In The Igor Tale, his defeat at the Nemiga River is shown to illustrate that inter-princely strife is weakening the Russian land. Vseslav is also said to be able to hear the church bells (stolen from Novgorod) of his cathedral at Polotsk all the way from Kiev:
Volkh Vseslavich/Volga Sviatoslavich and Vseslav of Polotsk
     "Vseslav may also be the basis for the bogatyr Volkh Vseslavich or Volga Sviatoslavich, who is found in a cycle of byliny. Volkhvs were priests of the pre-Christian Slavic religion and were thought to possess magical powers. This fact may be tied to Vseslav's alleged magical as well as his lupine aspects. In the Ruthenian Christianity volkhv is said to have been the son of a serpent and the Princess Marfa Vseslavevna and could transform himself into a wolf and other animals.[9] That, of course, sounds as a fairy tale, however Christianity as a religion while still being challenged by people that followed the older traditions used this misinterpretation to outcast the followers of Slavic paganism. Volkhvs of Novgorod were well known to challenge the well established Christianity in Kiev in the 11th century, which resulted in Vseslav's victory when Mstislav Iziaslavovich fled to Kiev. Not long after that the same volkhvs were calling to uprising against Gleb Sviatoslavovich. Volkh appears in a number of drawings by the late-19th and early 20th-century Russian artist Ivan Bilibin, who was heavily influenced by Russian folklore.

In 1395 Sigismund decided on a crusade against the Turks and gathered approximately 16,000 to 20,000 soldiers, including Herman II von Celje. However, on 24 September 1396, the Turks attacked and the defeat of the crusaders was certain. Herman II saved the life Sigismund in this battle, and afterwards asssisted him when Sigismund took control of the situation and punished conspirators who had risen against him.
