Context paragraphs:
Elizabeth of York: Elizabeth of York (11 February 1466 – 11 February 1503) was queen consort of England from 1486 until her death.  As the wife of Henry VII, she was the first Tudor queen.  She was the daughter of Edward IV and niece of Richard III, and she married the king following Henry's victory at the Battle of Bosworth which started the last phase of the Wars of the Roses.  She was the mother of King Henry VIII.  Therefore, she was the daughter, sister, niece, wife, mother, and grandmother of successive kings and queens of England.

Lady Jane Seymour: Lady Jane Seymour (c.1541 – 19 March 1561) was an influential writer during the sixteenth century in England, along with her sisters, Lady Margaret Seymour and Anne Seymour, Countess of Warwick.  Their brother was Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford.  They were the children of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, who from 1547 was the Lord Protector of England after the death of King Henry VIII and during the minority of Jane's first cousin, King Edward VI.  She was baptised 22 February 1541, and her godparents were Thomas Cromwell (the King's chief minister), Lady Mary (the King's daughter, at the time declared illegitimate but later to become queen) and Katherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and queen at the time.  Jane was thus the niece of Henry VIII's third wife, Queen Jane, whom she was probably named after.  She was the sole witness to the secret marriage of her brother Edward to Lady Catherine Grey (a potential heir to Queen Elizabeth I) in 1560.  She died a year later, aged 20, probably of tuberculosis.

John of Montfort: John of Montfort (in Breton Yann Moñforzh, in French Jean de Montfort) (1295 – 16 September 1345 , Château d'Hennebont), sometimes known as John IV, Duke of Brittany, and 6th Earl of Richmond from 1341 to his death.  He was the son of Arthur II, Duke of Brittany and his second wife, Yolande de Dreux.  He contested the inheritance of the Duchy of Brittany by his niece, Joan of Penthièvre, which led to the War of the Breton Succession, which in turn evolved into being part of the Hundred Years' War between England and France.  John's patron in his quest was King Edward III of England.  He died in 1345, 19 years before the end of the war, and the victory of his son John IV over Joan of Penthièvre and her husband, Charles of Blois.

Joan of Bar, Countess of Surrey: Joan of Bar (died in 1361, London) was a daughter of Henry III, Count of Bar and Princess Eleanor of England, and niece of Edward II of England.  She was unhappily married to John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey.  In 1345, Joan became the regent of Bar for her great-nephew Robert.

Baron Cromwell: Baron Cromwell is a title that has been created several times in the Peerage of England.  The first creation, which was by writ, was for John de Cromwell in 1308.  On his death, the barony became extinct.  The second creation came in 1375 when Ralph de Cromwell was summoned by writ to Parliament as Lord Cromwell.  His grandson, the third Baron, served as Lord High Treasurer to King Henry VI.  However, on his death in 1455 the barony fell into abeyance between his nieces Maude and Joan.  On Joan's death in 1490 the abeyance was terminated in favour of Maude, the fourth holder.  When she died childless in 1497 the peerage once again fell into abeyance, this time between the daughters of the first Baron.  The title remained in abeyance for over 400 years.  However, in 1922 the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords reported in favour of the petition for the termination of the abeyancy of Selina Frances Bewicke-Copley, wife of Brigadier-General Sir Charles Watson Bewicke-Copley.  She was the daughter of Sir Charles Watson Copley, 3rd Baronet, and one of the co-heirs of Maud, daughter of the first Baron Cromwell.  Selina died in 1923 and in July of the same year the abeyance was terminated in favour of her son Robert Godfrey Wolesley Bewicke-Copley, who became the fifth Baron.  He notably served as Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire.  s of 2010 the ancient barony is held by his grandson, the seventh Baron, who succeeded his father in 1982.  Having lost his seat in the House of Lords under the House of Lords Act 1999, in April 2014 he was elected at a hereditary peers' by-election as a Crossbencher.

Edward II of England: Edward II (25 April 1284 – 21 September 1327), also called Edward of Caernarfon, was King of England from 1307 until he was deposed in January 1327.  The fourth son of Edward I, Edward became the heir to the throne following the death of his older brother Alphonso.  Beginning in 1300, Edward accompanied his father on campaigns to pacify Scotland, and in 1306 he was knighted in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey.  Edward succeeded to the throne in 1307, following his father's death.  In 1308, he married Isabella of France, the daughter of the powerful King Philip IV, as part of a long-running effort to resolve the tensions between the English and French crowns.

Baron Furnivall: Baron Furnivall is an ancient title in the Peerage of England.  It was originally created (by writ) when Thomas de Furnivall was summoned to the Model Parliament of 1295 as Lord Furnivall.  The barony eventually passed to Thomas Nevill, who had married the first baron's descendant Joan de Furnivall, and he was summoned to parliament in her right.  Their daughter, Maud de Neville, married John Talbot, who was also summoned to parliament in her right.  He was later created Earl of Shrewsbury.  On the death of the seventh earl in 1616, the barony fell into abeyance.  The abeyance was terminated naturally in favour of the earl's daughter Alethea Howard in 1651 and passed through her to the Dukes of Norfolk.  On the death of the ninth Duke in 1777, the barony again fell into abeyance.  In 1913 the abeyance was terminated again in favour of Mary Frances Katherine Petre, daughter of Bernard Petre, 14th Baron Petre.  Through her father she was a great-great-great-granddaughter of the ninth Baron Petre and his first wife Anne Howard, niece of the ninth Duke of Norfolk (and 18th Baron Furnivall), who became co-heir to the Barony on her uncle's death in 1777.  On Lady Furnivall's death in 1968 the barony fell into abeyance for the third time.

England and King David I: The relationship between the Kingdom of England and King David I, who was King of Scotland between 1124 and 1153, was partly shaped by David's relationship with the particular King of England, and partly by David's own ambition.  David had a good relationship with and was an ally of Henry I of England, the King who was largely responsible for David's early career.  After Henry's death, David upheld his support for his niece, the former Empress-consort, Matilda, and expanded his power in northern England in the process, despite his defeat at the Battle of the Standard in 1138.

Nevada School of Law at Old College: Nevada School of Law at Old College was the first law school established in the state of Nevada.  The school, located in Reno, was founded in 1981 by former president of Gonzaga University John Leary and then-Washoe County District Attorney Cal Dunlap.  After its first year, the school moved from the former St. Thomas Aquinas Parochial School to its permanent home at the old "Reno Gazette-Journal" newspaper plant donated by the Gannett Company.  The school lacked the financial means by which to gain full accreditation from the American Bar Association, and it closed its doors in August 1988.  At the time of its closure, the school had an 85% first-time bar passage rate among its graduates.

Overlord: An overlord in the English feudal system was a lord of a manor who had subinfeudated a particular manor, estate or fee, to a tenant.  The tenant thenceforth owed to the overlord one of a variety of services, usually military service or serjeanty, depending on which form of tenure (i.e. feudal tenancy contract) the estate was "held" under.  The highest overlord of all, or paramount lord, was the monarch, who due to his ancestor William the Conqueror's personal conquest of the Kingdom of England, "owned" by inheritance from him all the land in England under allodial title and had no superior overlord, "holding from God and his sword", although certain monarchs, notably King John (1199-1216) purported to grant the Kingdom of England to the Pope, who would thus have become overlord to English monarchs.  A paramount lord may thus be seen to occupy the apex of the feudal pyramid, or the root of the feudal tree, and such allodial title is also termed "radical title" (from Latin "radix", root), "ultimate title" and "final title".  William the Conqueror immediately set about granting tenancies on his newly won lands, in accordance with feudal principles.  The monarch's immediate tenants were the tenants-in-chief, usually military magnates, who held the highest status in feudal society below the monarch.  The tenants-in-chief usually held multiple manors or other estates from the monarch, often as feudal barons (or "barons by tenure") who owed their royal overlord an enhanced and onerous form of military service, and subinfeudated most to tenants, generally their own knights or military followers, keeping only a few in demesne.  This created a mesne lord - tenant relationship.  The knights in turn subinfeudated to their own tenants, creating a further subsidiary mesne lord - tenant relationship.  Over the centuries for any single estate the process was in practice repeated numerous times.  In early times following the Norman Conquest of 1066 and the establishment of feudalism, land was usually transferred by subinfeudation, rarely by alienation (i.e. sale), which latter in the case of tenants-in-chief required royal licence, and the holder of an estate at any particular time, in order to gain secure tenure, and if challenged by another claimant, needed to prove "devolution of title" evidenced by legal deeds or muniments back up the chain of subinfeudations to a holder whose title was beyond doubt, for example one who had received the estate as a grant by royal charter witnessed and sealed by substantial persons.  Although feudal land tenure in England was abolished by the Tenures Abolition Act 1660, in modern English conveyancing law the need to prove devolution of title persisted until recent times, due to a "legal fiction" (grounded in reality) that all land titles were held by the monarch's subjects as a result of a royal grant.  Proving devolution of title is no longer necessary since the creation of the land registry and the requirement to compulsorily register all land transactions on this governmental record, which registration provides a virtually unchallengeable and perfectly secure title of ownership.
