Return to Corbie-, and find in the houfe an excellent pifture o f a
mufician playing on a bafe-viol ; the work of a Spanijh mailer,

fear. .
-O n the ftair caie is a full length of Lord William Howard, third
fon of the Duke of Norfolk, known in thefe parts by the name o f bald
ffrilly. He lived in the time o f Queen Rlizabeth, and was the. terror
of the P/Lofs troopers, ruling with a rod of iron, but by his neceifary
féverity, civilized the country.
There are no traces of the old caftle. The manor belonging to it
was granted by Henry II. to Hubert de Vallibus, who configned it to
William de Odard lord of Corbie. In the 31ft of Edw. I. it was held
by Fhomds de Richewiount ; from him, came to Sir Andrew de Harcla,
the unfortunate Earl of Carlile, executed in the time o f Edw. II. and
on his attainder, to Sir Richard dé SalMd : from his heirs to lord
William Howard, theft of Haworth, who fettled it upon his fécond fon,
iff whofe line it ftill continues.
