{21c} This Earl of Lincoln would seem to have been of a particularly hot
temperament. I have mentioned in another volume (_Records of Woodhall
Spa_, pp. 14.0, &c.) several of his actions of gross violence against the
Saviles of Poolham Hall, in this neighbourhood, about the same date
(1578). I will merely state here that he, with a party of followers,
attacked Sir Robert Savile, when on a hunting excursion, seized several
of his hounds and hanged them, as Sir Robert says, "upon my own tree
within my own ground." He forced his way into the parlour at Poolham and
challenged Sir Robert to fight "six to six" of their dependents. After
an entertainment at Horncastle his followers, at his instigation, got
hold of an unfortunate tailor, "drew their swords and sore wounded him,"
saying he should "have that and more, for his master's sake," Sir Robert
Savile's son. One Robert Fullshaw, of Waddingworth, prayed the justices
for protection against his "horrible outrages," and it was said that his
conduct "savoured of insanity." (_Illustrations of English History_ by
Lodge. Lansdown MS., Brit. Mus., 27, art. 41.)

{22b} It does not appear where this "Parish-fee" was situated, doubtless
it was subordinate to the main manor of Horncastle, such "fees" were
generally named after the owners once "enfeoffed" of them, as we have at
Spalding Ayscough-fee Hall, once owned by the Ayscoughs, Beaumont-fee at
Lincoln, owned by the Beaumonts, Panell-fee by the Paganels, Nevill-fee
by the Nevills in Middle Rasen, &c. _Architectural Society's Journal_,
1895, p. 19. There is a family named Parish at Horncastle but they are a
modern importation.
