    "verified_text": "de la warr, or delaware, an english barony, the holders of which are descended from roger de la warr of isfield, sussex, who was summoned to parliament as a baron in 1299 and the following years. he died about 1320; his great-grandson roger, to whom the french king john surrendered at the battle of poitiers, died in 1370; and the male line of the family became extinct on the death of thomas, 5th baron, in 1426. the 5th baron's half-sister joan married thomas west, 1st lord west (d. 1405), and in 1415 her second son reginald (1394-1451) succeeded his brother thomas as 3rd lord west. after the death of his uncle thomas, 5th baron de la warr, whose estates he inherited, reginald was summoned to parliament as baron la warr, and he is thus the second founder of the family. his grandson was thomas, 3rd (or 8th) baron (d. 1525), a courtier during the reigns of henry vii. and henry viii.; and the latter's son was thomas, 4th (or 9th) baron (c. 1472-1554). the younger thomas was a very prominent person during the reigns of henry viii. and edward vi. after serving with the english army in france in 1513 and being present at the field of the cloth of gold, he rebuilt the house at halnaker in sussex, which he had obtained by marriage, and here in 1526 he entertained henry viii. \"with great cheer.\" he disliked the ecclesiastical changes introduced by the king, and he was one of the peers who tried anne boleyn; later he showed some eagerness to stand well with thomas cromwell, but this did not prevent his arrest in 1538. he is said to have denounced \"the plucking down of abbeys,\" and he certainly consorted with many suspected persons. but he was soon released and pardoned, although he was obliged to hand over halnaker to henry viii., receiving instead the estate of wherwell in hampshire. he died without children in september 1554, when his baronies of de la warr and west fell into abeyance. his monument may still be seen in the church at broadwater, sussex. he had settled his estates on his nephew william west (c. 1519-1595), who then tried to bring about his uncle's death by poison; for this reason he was disabled by act of parliament (1549) from succeeding to his honours. however, in 1563 he was restored, and in 1570 was created by patent baron de la warr. this was obviously a new creation, but in 1596 his son thomas (c. 1556-1602) claimed precedency in the baronage as the holder of the ancient barony of de la warr. his claim was admitted, and accordingly his son and successor, next mentioned, is called the 3rd or the 12th baron.",
