Doun,  son of Doun Bardolf  married Beatrix the daughter& heir to William de Warren of Wirmgay, in Norfolk (whereby the Barony of Wirmegay came to this Family of Bardulf  

In 1231 William de Warblynton  was granted Warblington, with the hamlets of Empsworth, Estney (apparently Eastney on Hayling Island). Warblington went to Matthew FitzHerbert, a barons who , had been faithful to King John, as Henry Pomeroy had before being accused of High Treason & committing suicide in 1193. 

 The FitzHerberts seem to have held the manorof Warblington until the time of Edward I (1307-1327 ), when  the last of that family, were daughters Isabella wife of `Hugh Bardolph and Phillis de Eastney, who  shared the inheritance of an undivided the estate as co-parceners.    

The Barony was created when Sir Hugh Bardolf of Wormegay in Norfolk received a writ of summons to Parliament on 6 February 129
After his death, the barony passed from father to son until 4 December 1406, when the fifth Baron was declared by Parliament to be a traitor, and the title was forfeited.

 1304 at the Inquest at Addington on October 14 following the death of Hugh Bardolf, first Baron Bardolf (c. 29 September 1259 – September 1304),   his widow Isabel succeeded him to the two serjeanties  Upon her death in 1323, the serjeanty of Addington   was succeeded by Thomas Bardolf, second Baron Bardolf (4 October 1282 – 11 December 1357) 

From the reign of Charles II onward the dish was presented by the Leigh family. It was still presented by the Lord of the Manor at the coronation of George III in 1760, supposedly by a distant relative who inherited the estates of Sir John Leigh when he died without heirs in 1737.[3] At the banquet of George IV, the right was claimed and obtained by the Archbishop of Canterbury. (The archbishops held Addington from 1807 to 1897).

Heirs

On 19 July 1408, the reversion of the manor of Wormegay and others was granted to the fifth baron's two daughters and co-heiresses, Anne and Joan, and their husbands. The elder sister Anne was married to Sir William Clifford, and later to Reynold Lord Cobham, and died childless on 6 November 1453. The younger sister Joan was married to Sir William Phelip, who after 1437 was sometimes styled Lord Bardolf and by whom she had an only daughter Elizabeth, and died 12 March 1447. Elizabeth had married John Beaumont, 1st Viscount Beaumont and died before 30 October 1441. Their son William Beaumont was styled Lord Bardolf as early as 1448, though he did not become the sole representative of the fifth baron until the death of his great-aunt Anne Lady Cobham in 1453. He succeeded as 2nd Viscount Beaumont in 1460.

William Beaumont, Viscount Beaumont and (but for the forfeiture) Baron Bardolf died childless on 19 December 1507. His co-heirs were his two great-nephews, descended from his only sister Joan (died 5 August 1466) by her first husband John Lovel, 8th Baron Lovel: Sir Brian Stapleton (died 2 April 1550), son of Sir Brian Stapleton by his wife Joan, elder daughter of Joan Lady Lovel; and Sir John Norreys (died 1564), son of Sir Edward Norreys by his wife Frideswide, younger daughter of Joan Lady Lovel. The abeyance of the barony of Beaumont was terminated in favour of the senior co-heir in 1840, and the junior co-heir has since 1572 been Baron Norreys of Rycote. In 1910 the co-heirs of the forfeited barony of Bardolf were the two daughters of Miles Stapleton, 10th Baron Beaumont (Mona Josephine Tempest Stapleton, 11th Baroness Beaumont and Ivy Mary Stapleton, both of whom left children) and Montagu Bertie, 7th Earl of Abingdon.

In literature

The fifth Lord Bardolf appears in William Shakespeare's history play Henry IV, Part 2.

A fictional Lord Bardolf appears in Benjamin Disraeli's 1845 novel Sybil. In Book 4, Chapter 7, the comical baronet Sir Vavasour Firebrace has an appointment with peerage lawyer Baptist Hatton, who tells him that

Your claim on the barony of Lovel is very good: I could recommend your pursuing it, did not another more inviting still present itself. In a word, if you wish to be Lord Bardolf, I will undertake to make you so, before, in all probability, Sir Robert Peel obtains office; and that I should think would gratify Lady Firebrace.

The historical barony of Lovel (like that of Bardolf dating from 6 February 1299) had been forfeit since the attainder of Francis Lovel, 1st Viscount Lovel, son of Joan Lady Lovel, mentioned above, in 1485, and any right to it was vested in the same co-heirs as the baronies of Beaumont and Bardolf, descendants of Lovel's sisters. By Book 6, Chapter 4 of Sybil the Firebraces have become the Bardolfs and Hatton is attempting to make out his client's claim to the (fictional) earldom of Lovel. Lady Bardolf appears again in Disraeli's 1847 novel Tancred.
