My ancestors, the Forsters of Bamborough, Northumberland, received their weapons in the famous battles of Cressy(Crecy) and Azincourt (Agincourt).
But having distinguished themselves in the civil war of 1715, as supporters of the Catholic dynasty of the STUARTS, they were stripped of their estates.
As supporters, it was mainly General Thomas Forster (1638-1738) who rallied the cause of this rebellion and this caused him to lose all his rights and properties which he had to cede to his brother John FORSTER.
