Need help with burial location/cemetery name.
When Sir Robert Manners II was born in 1447, in Northumberland, England, United Kingdom, his father, Sir Robert Manners, was 26 and his mother, Jenetta Ogle, was 36. He married Eleanor de Ros after 13 June 1465, in Wressle, Yorkshire, England. They were the parents of at least 3 sons and 3 daughters. He died in 1495, in his hometown, at the age of 48.
Etal Castle was built around 1341 by Robert Manners in the village of Etal, after Robert was granted a licence to crenellate by King Edward III in order to defend the location against the Scots.[1] The Manners family had owned the manor since at least 1232.
Work continued under Robert's son, John Manners, who inherited the property as a minor in 1354.[5] In 1355, John Manners died in 1402, probably leaving the castle to his son, Robert, who in turn left the property to his own son, another John Manners.
In 1438, another of John Manners' sons, Robert, inherited the castle and the estates.[12] The lands had fallen in value considerably over the preceding years, as a result of the wars with the Scots, the feuding with the Herons and the poverty of the lands.[13] Robert's son, another Robert Manners, inherited the property in 1464, and passed the castle onto his son, George, on his death in 1495.[14] George inherited the title of Baron de Ros from his mother's side of the family and the castle was abandoned as a residence by the family around the end of the 15th century when the Manners moved closer to the royal court.[15]
