    Dispossession of Edward de Birmingham

    Later historical accounts allege that John Dudley engineered a false highway-robbery accusation against Edward de Birmingham to force the surrender of Birmingham manor. Edward was imprisoned and ultimately exchanged the estate for a pardon and a modest allowance. The episode is a political and legal controversy in the family’s history, although the surviving narrative should be read cautiously because its details are drawn from later historical accounts.
