Notes - Ralph Basset was made Justice of England and invested with power of sitting in any court he pleased for the administration of justice. The records state that he was a statesman, a lawgiver and an unsullied judge, and had within himself the power to reach the goal of honor. From him descended the Lords Bassets of Drayton, Sapcote, Umberleigh, and Tehidy. They were ennobled in several branches, not only being barons of manors, but being in many cases summoned to Parliament, which in those days was tantamount to creating them barons of the realm.
