Edmund de Ros, 11th Baron de Ros

Edmund de Ros, 11th Baron de Ros

Edmund de Ros, 11th Baron de Ros (1446 – October 13, 1508) was a follower of the House of Lancaster during the Wars of the Roses, and regained his family title after the accession of King Henry VII of England.

As a result of his father's attainder, he went into exile. Under Henry VII, who united the houses of York and Lancaster, the attainder was reversed; and Edmund, Lord Ros, was reinstated in his ancestral property; Belvoir had been in the possession of the Hastings family for more than twenty years. In the petition to parliament, presented by Lord Ros, November, 1483, his claims are stated with great moderation, and his sufferings for his loyalty to King Henry VI are not overstated.

About nine years later, Sir Thomas Lovell, who married Isabel, Edmund's sister, presented a petition to parliament, stating that Edmund was "not of sufficient discretion to guide himself and his livelihood; nor able to serve his sovereign after his duty" and asking "that he might have the guidance and governance of the said Edmund" and all his property. An act of parliament was passed, giving full powers to Sir Thomas Lovel over the person and property of Lord Ros, and entire possession of the latter at is death; upon trust for the other relatives of Lord Ros, reserving only a rent of seven hundred marks to the king, and the right, title, and interest of those who have, or ought to have, possession or occupation of certain portions of the property.

Edmund, Lord Ros, lived at the manor of Elsinges, at Enfield, which he had inherited from his mother, and was probably kept under restraint. On his death he was buried in the church at Enfield, on the north side of the altar; where his monument is an arch, erected over the tomb of Lady Joyce Tiptoft, his maternal grandmother, and charged with the arms of Ros quartering Badlesmere. Since Edmund had no children, his sisters were his heirs; and Elsinges became the property of his brother in law, Sir Thomas Lovel, who, at his death, in 1524, bequeathed it to his great-nephew, Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland, in 1526. Eleanor, the eldest sister and co-heir of Edmund, Lord Ros, married Sir Robert Manners, of Etal, in the county of Northumberland. Eleanor was therefore the grandmother of Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland.
