      • Will of Sir George Maners, Lord Ros, December 1513, PROB 11/17

        George Maners, Knight 26th October 1513. My body to be buried next unto the place where I shall happen to die, ... to each of my daughters unmarried ccc marks in ready money, if they will be ruled by my wife,....Sir Robert Maners, my father, ....between me and my uncle Sir Thomas Lovell, Knt. dated 21st February, 4 Henry VIII.; also I will that my son Thomas Maners and Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Sir Robert Lovel, Knt. ... and that they stand seised of the same to the use of the said Thomas Maners and Elizabeth his wife, and the heirs of their bodies. And I constitute Anne' my wife, my uncle Sir Thomas Lovel, and my brethren William Fayrfax, and Thomas Fayrfax, Gilbert Stoughton, and Ralph Elwick, my executors . No probate.

        Lord Roos, in right of his mother Eleanor, sister and heir of Edmund Lord Roos; he is said, by Collins, to have died at the siege of Therouene and Tournay 2d November 1513, ... his Will is stated, both in a MS. note of it, and by Dugdale, to have been made on 26th October, whilst Collins asserts that it was dated on the 30th of that month, three days before his demise, but that writer gives the inscription on his tomb, from which it appears he died the,
        " xxvi daye of Octobre, in the yere of our Lorde God Mvcxiii." that is, three days before the date assigned to his will by Dugdale, and in the MS. abstract, and seven days antecedent to, the date given by Collins.


        A warrant was issued, 21 Nov. 1512, for his sum. to Parliament, "by name of
        George Maners, knight, Lord Rose" {Idem, vol. i, and ed., pt. i, p. 685). He m., about 1490, Anne, da. and heir of Sir Thomas St. Leger, otherwise Seint-Leger, otherwise Selenger (beheaded Nov. 1483), by Anne, divorced wife of Henry (Holand), Duke of Exeter, sister of Edward IV, ist da. of Richard (Plantagenet), Duke of York. He died 27 Oct. 1513, in France and was bur. in St. George's Chapel, Windsor. M.I. Will dat. 26 Oct. 1513.
        His widow was b. in 1476, d. 21 Apr. 1526, and was bur. with him. Will pr. 1526.

        National Archives:
        Valuation of the lands of the late George Manners, Lord Roos, in Yorkshire, and statement of a half-year's rents received by his widow at Martinmas, 5 Henry VIII. Paper roll, 4 sheets. Damaged LM/1842 1513

        On 13 Dec. 1509 Hen. VIII granted to "Sir George Maners knight for the Body" the annuity of 700 marks payable to the King by virtue of an Act of Pari. 7 Hen. VII {Idem, vol. i, 2nd ed., pt. I , p. 1 36). This suggests that by that date he was the sole heir.

        The North Transept "is the Rutland Chapel, within which a chantry was founded in 1481 by Sir Thomas St. Leger in memory of his wife Anne, Duchess of Exeter and sister of Edward IV, who was buried in it.
        In the middle stands an alabaster tomb with fine recumbent effigies of Sir George Manners, Lord Roos, who d. in 1513, and his wife, the Lady Anne da. of the Duchess of Exeter, who d. in 1526. Along the sides are figures of their children and upon the ends angels, all holding shields. On a bracket in the east window is a large funeral helm that may belong to this tomb" {F.C.H., Berkshire, vol. iii, pp. 39-40).
