Notes for Henry Done: It was through Henry’s marriage to Joan Kingsley that the Dones acquired the hereditary position of King’s Master Forester of the Delamere Forest. The Delamere Forest stretched from , and was a royal hunting ground. The position of King’s Master Forester held real authority, since the charge of the office was to protect the Royal timber and deer. The Master could not only enact laws, he could order the execution of anyone who broke them. Ralph de Kingsley was given the office by Ranuphle, 3rd Earl of Chester, in 1128. The inherited right to the office was symbolized by the possession of a 14 inch black and gold horn known as “the Delamere Horn”. After three generations, the Kingsley family failed to produce a male heir, and the position, along with the horn, was passed to Henry Done, husband of Joan Kingsley.
