Isabell Bostock1

Main Events
| Also Known As | Isabell Bostock was also known as Issabell Snelston. |
| Biography | The Visitation of Cheshire 1580 Chart for Bostock of Moulton illustrates this relationship and shows the words "David Bostock - Isabell da. & h. vxor Thomas Snelston" which really baffled me for years. If I had just relaxed and translated it literally I would have got "David Bostock - Isabella daughter and heire wife Thomas Snelston". The later Visitation of Cheshire in 1613 for Cotton shows that Issabell (#5291) is in fact the daughter of David Bostock (#6714) and it is she who marries Thomas Snelston (#5290). Just goes to show how careful you have to be. If the daughter (#23267) of Sir William Baguley (#6711) was an heiress and entitled to the Arms of her father Sir William Baguley, then the Bostocks of Moulton would be entitled to quarter Baguley arms and enable Isabell to carry both her father's and grandmother's coats to her husband Thomas Snelson (#5290). I think that is right. The first son of David Bostock of Moulton [6712] is Raffe Bostock [6802] who married a Davenport lady [23346]. The second sone Phillipe Bostock [23347] married a Warbuton lady. The 3rd son David Bostock (6714), could difference his Bostock of Moulton coat with a mullet as a cadency mark rather than for plain differenciation. We do not know the exact reason - either reason works ! Of course, we know he married and had a daughter Isabella [5291]. I believe that this is part of the evidence that supports the claim by Roger Snelson to the black scythe arms in 1643/44 at the Visitation of London. It is also the reason for the appearance of the Bostock of Moulton Arms and the Baguley Arms on the Macclesfield Chalice given by Roger Snelston to the parish of St. Michael's in Macclesfield. Moulton is 5kms due south of Northwich and less than 1km west of Bostock. This Thomas Snelson (#5290) is I believe Roger Snelston (#4878)'s great-great-great grandfather. |

| Note | Event Memos from GEDCOM Import... Residence Ælfthryth (c. 945 -1000, also Alfrida, Elfrida or Elfthryth) was the second or third wife of King Edgar of England. Ælfthryth was the first king's wife known to have been crowned and anointed as Queen of the Kingdom of England. Mother of King Ethelred the Unready, she was a powerful political figure. She was linked to the murder of her stepson King Edward the Martyr and appeared as a stereotypical bad Queen and evil stepmother in many medieval histories. Her mother was a member of the royal family of Wessex . The family's power lay in the west of Wessex. Ordgar was buried in Exeter and his son Ordwulf founded, or refounded, Tavistock Abbey. Ælfthryth was first married to Æthelwald, son of Æthelstan Half-King as recorded by Byrhtferth of Ramsey in his Life of Saint Oswald of Worcester. Later accounts, such as that preserved by William of Malmesbury, add vivid detail of unknown reliability. According to William, the beauty of Ordgar's daughter Ælfthryth was reported to King Edgar. Edgar, looking for a Queen, sent Æthewald to see Ælfthryth, ordering him 'to offer her marriage [to Edgar] if her beauty were really equal to report.' When she turned out to be just as beautiful as was said, Æthelwald married her himself and reported back to Edgar that she was quite unsuitable. Edgar was eventually told of this, and decided to repay Æthelwald's betrayal in like manner. He said that he would visit the poor woman, which alarmed Æthelwald. He asked Ælfthryth to make herself as unattractive as possible for the king's visit, but she did the opposite. Edgar, quite besotted with her, killed Æthelwald during a hunt. The historical record does not record the year of Æthelwald's death, let alone its manner. No children of Æthelwald and Ælfthryth are known. Edgar had previously been married to Æthelflæd, by whom he had a son named Edward, and perhaps to Wulfthryth, with whom he had a daughter named Eadgifu—later known as Saint Edith of Wilton. Sound political reasons encouraged the match between Edgar, whose power base was centred in Mercia, and Ælfthryth, whose family were powerful in Wessex. In addition to this, and her link with the family of Æthelstan Half-King, Ælfthryth also appears to have been connected to the family of Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia. Edgar married Ælfthryth in either 964 or 965. In 966 Ælfthryth gave birth to a son who was named Edmund. In King Edgar's charter (S 745) regranting privileges to New Minster, Winchester that same year, the infant Edmund is called 'clito legitimus' (legitimate ætheling), and appears before Edward in the list of witnesses. Edmund died young, circa 970, but in 968 Ælfthryth had given birth to a second son who was called Æthelred. King Edgar organised a second coronation, perhaps to bolster his claims to be ruler of all of Britain at Bath on 11 May 973. Here Ælfthryth was also crowned and anointed, granting her a status higher than any recent queen. Edgar died in 975 leaving two sons, Edward and Æthelred. Edward was almost an adult, and was supported by many key figures including Archbishops Dunstan and Oswald and the brother of Ælfthryth's first husband, Ælfwine, Ealdorman of East Anglia. Supporting the claims of the child Æthelred were the Queen dowager, Bishop Æthelwold of Winchester, and Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia. On 18 March 978, while visiting Ælfthryth at Corfe, King Edward was killed by servants of the Queen, leaving the way clear for Æthelred to be installed as king. Edward was soon considered a martyr, and Ælfthryth blamed for his murder. Due to Æthelred's youth, Ælfthryth served as regent for her son until his coming of age in 984. By then her earlier allies Æthelwold and Ælfhere had died, and she withdrew from the court at this time. However, she remained an important figure, being responsible for the care of Æthelred's children by Aelgifu of Northampton. Although her reputation was marked by the murder of her stepson, Ælfthryth was a religious woman, taking an especial interest in monastic reform when Queen. Late in life she retired to Wherwell where she died on 17 November, between 999 and 1001. |
