John Smyth of Nibley (1567-1640) used original sources, documents and manuscripts held in the Berkeley archives, to create a historical record of the lives the family from 1066 -1618. Volume I covers the lives from Harding to Maurice 'the fourth' (d. 1368). It was John Smyth who gave the Barons their supposed nicknames in order to distinguish between the various characters. |
