A51538	A defence of Amicia daughter of Hvgh Cyveliok, Earl of Chester wherein it is proved that Sir Peter Leicester Baronet, in his book entituled, Historical antiquities in two books, the first treating in general of Great Britain and Ireland, the second containing particular remarks concerning Cheshire, hath without any just ground declared the said Amicia to be a bastard/ by Sir Thomas Mainwaring ...

before_o ralph_n the_o steward_n of_o cheshire_n but_o if_o amicia_n be_v a_o legitimate_a daughter_n the_o reason_n thereof_o will_v be_v apparent_a for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o

acquit_v the_o abbot_n and_o monk_n of_o stanlaw_n of_o some_o toll_n in_o chester_n which_o can_v be_v but_o a_o little_a before_o the_o say_v earl_n death_n because_o the_o say_a earl_n die_v in_o

but_o because_o of_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o say_v ralph_n to_o the_o say_a earl_n but_o as_o this_o respect_n be_v too_o great_a to_o have_v be_v show_v he_o if_o he_o have_v only_o marry_v one_o
