  Mother	Margery De Benthall
  Marriage	Abt 1300  [2]
  	"When you get the Roll you will see what is probably the most interesting thing of all in the Bentall tree: In about 1290 Margery was left without brothers to inherit the Bentall estate, so the Bishop of Bath and Wells called Burnell, who later became the Lord Chancellor of England, and whose name is in the Bishop's Chapel in Wells to this day, has the slightly awkward problem of a bastard son whom he wants to place somewhere nice. Seeing Margery has a jolly attractive place and could do with a husband, young Burnell comes to tea and takes on the position of Master of the Bentall estate. The happy (we hope) couple then have heirs who are our ancestors, so Bentalls are not really Bentalls but Burnells. Because priests, Bishops and suchlike, weren't meant to have kids, it wasn't widely advertised so Burnell kept the name Bentall. I see Margery married someone else later on... _HTITL: Husband _WTITL: Wife
