_The Mother of William the Conqueror._--Can you or any of your
correspondents say which is right? In Debrett's _Peerage_ for 1790 the
genealogy of the Marchioness Grey gives her descent from "Rollo or Fulbert,
who was chamberlain to Robert, Duke of Normandy; and of his gift had the
castle and manor of Croy in Picardy, whence his posterity assumed their
surname, afterwards written de Grey. Which Rollo had a daughter Arlotta,
mother of William the Conqueror." Now history says that the mother of the
Conqueror was Arlette or Arlotte, the daughter of a tanner at Falaise. We
know how scrupulous the Norman nobility were in their genealogical records;
and likewise that in the lapse of time mistakes are perpetuated and become
history. Can history in this instance be wrong? and if so, how did the
mistake arise? I shall feel obliged to any one who can furnish farther
information on the subject.

_Pedigree of Sir Francis Bryan._--This accomplished statesman, and ornament
of Henry VIII.'s reign, married Joan of Desmond, Countess Dowager of
Ormonde, and died childless in Ireland A.D. 1550. Query, Did any cadet of
his family accompany him to that country? I found a Louis Bryan settled in
the county of Kilkenny in Elizabeth's reign, and suspect that he came in
through the connexion of Sir F. Bryan with the Ormonde family. Any
information as to the arms and pedigree of Sir F. Bryan will greatly oblige

"_The Whole Duty of Man._"--Of what nature is the testimony that this book
was written by Dorothy Coventry, "the good Lady Pakington?"

QUAESITOR.

[The supposition that Lady Packington was the author of _The Whole Duty
of Man_, arose from a copy of it in her handwriting having been found
at Westwood after her death. (Aubrey's _Letters_, vol. ii. p. 125.) But
the strongest evidence in favour of Lady Packington is the following
note: "Oct. 13, 1698. Mr. Thomas Caulton, Vicar of Worksop, in
Nottinghamshire, in the presence of William Thornton, Esq., and his
lady, Mrs. Heathcote, Mrs. Ashe, Mrs. Caulton, and John Hewit, Rector
of Harthill, declared the words following: 'Nov. 5, 1689. At
