Sir Philip BURNELL, Baron of Holgate

  • Born: 27 Nov 1268, Acton Burnell, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England
  • Married: Bef 15 Jul 1283
  • Died: 26 Jun 1294

  Research Notes:

Nephew and heir to Robert Burnel, described in the latter's Inquisition Post Mortem as: "Philip son of Hugh Burnel, aged 25 on Friday after St. Edmund the King, 21 Edw. I [1293], is his next heir."

The feast day of St. Edmund the king (more commonly called St. Edmund the martyr) was 20 Nov (Julian Calendar), which in 1293 was a Friday. Hence Philip Burnel was born a week later, 25 years earlier. Note, however, that throughout the lengthy Inquisition post mortem taken after his uncle's death, Philip's age varies between 25, 28 and 30 years, though 25 is cited more often. Alternatively, according to Douglas Richardson in his Plantagenet Ancestry... (see below), Philip was born 1 Aug 1264. Where he derives this from I do not know.

King's yeoman, son and heir of Hugh Burnell, Knt., of Wellington and Eudon Burnell, Shropshire, by his wife Sibyl.

In 1291 Roesia Trussel acknowledged that she owed him £12, to be levied, in default of payment, of her lands and chattels in co. Northampton. He was heir in 1292 to his uncle, Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Chancellor of England.
