poetry or prose. Perhaps some of your readers may be able to inform me of
such a work, or where detached masses of the information I want could be
found.

G.I.C.

_Sword of William the Conqueror._--Can any one inform me where is the sword
of William the Conqueror? It was kept in Battle Abbey till the dissolution,
and then taken to Sir John Gage's house at Firle, as it is said.

P.

_Neville Family._--Will any of your correspondents inform me what family of
the Nevilles were connected by marriage with the Fleetwoods or Cromwells?

In a collateral note in my family pedigree, I find it stated, that Sarah
Neville (who married Thomas Burkitt, in 1683) was cousin to General Charles
Fleetwood, who married Bridget Cromwell, daughter of the Protector; and, on
the cover of a book, I find written--

"My Cozen Fleetwood he gave me this book.--Sarah Burkitt, 1684."

I have also traditional testimony in possessing a valuable cabinet, known
us "the Fleetwood;" and a portrait of the above Bridget Cromwell; both of
which have been preserved in the family for more than a century and a half,
and supposed to have passed into their possession by the marriage of Sarah
Neville.
