4. Smyth, John, 1567-1640: The Berkeley manuscripts. The lives of the Berkeleys, lords of the honour, castle and manor of Berkeley, in the county of Gloucester, from 1066 to 1618
   1. • Source text:

        John Smyth of Nibley (1567-1640) used original sources, documents and manuscripts held by the Berkeley family, to create a historical record of the lives the family from 1066 -1618.
        Volume II covers the lives from Thomas 'the Magnificent', 4th Lord Berkeley (b1352), to George, 'The Traveller or Linguist', 8th Baron Berkeley and first of that name, (b 1601)
        It was John Smyth who gave the Barons their supposed nicknames in order to distinguish between the various characters.
