  <dc:title>"A breviate of the particular of the Estate of the Lord Viscounte Bulkeley"</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Internal evidence decides that it was Nobert, the second Viscount: two persons are distinctly referred to in the document, Humphrey Bulkeley of Cheadle who held the Bulkeley Cheshire estate by force of the award of 1632 (see doct. 62), which decided that the estate in Wales should be held by the descendants of the third Sir Richard by his second marriage, the estate in Cheshire by the descendants of the first marriage – this H.B. was born about 1618 (according to an inquisitio post mortem quoted in Ormerod: Hist. Cheshire,iii,625,628) and about 50 years of age at the time of this survey, which fixes its date in the neighbourhood of 1667-1668; the other person mentioned as being alive is Lady Ann Bulkeley, the somewhat notorious widow of the fourth Sir Richard, and who married as second husband Sir Thomas Cheadle, who was enjoying jointure from lands in Arllechwedd Isaf as late as 1667-8, being 74 years old, though in some pedigree tables she is said to have died in 1660. The value of the Anglesey lands are set a £2,984.0.2., those of Caernarvonshire at £1,107.18.10. total £4,091.19.0. In a later hand the timber is valued, also 400 deer, also Baron Hill Mansion, but unfortunately the document is broken off at this point, and the knowledge is lost. Nor are the perquisites of the two Anglesey manors of Gafrogwy and Clynnog valued in this breviat, nor Ynys Lawd, nor a "hernary" (heronry?) near Holyhead</dc:description>
