 To thrive, it helped if families kept on the winning side of royal politics: as the Priors found, this was not always easy and could depend on luck as well as religious inclinations. This brief account of the Prior/Priorur/Priour family in England during these turbulent centuries is taken from TLM-P's Family Bibles and other publications, with the common source appearing to be John & John B. Burke's //A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain & Ireland: M to Z//, London: Henry Colburn Publisher, 1846, pp.1075-76.\\
-Here we trace just one line of our many ancestors, that of John Priorur who had a charter from [[wp>https://Henry_III_of_England|Henry III]] and performed the necessary homage to his king in 1218.((e.g.http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lpproots/Pryor/pryor_manuscript.htm)) Burke states that the charter was still valid 220 years later though the surname was then spelt Priour (note that it was only in recent times that spelling, even for surnames, was standardised). According to Burke, John Priorur died circa 1253 and was succeeded by his eldest son Thomas.

His Life, Times and Legacy//, Ireland: Arderin Publishing, 2001, p.81.)). His will showed that he lived in Ely and also owned land in Cambridge. This property was presumably based on the original holding obtained by Richard Priour (above) almost a century previously. Robert Prior had his will proved [our equivalent of probate] at Oxford on 11 April 1644.((Burkes //Landed Gentry//, entry for Prior of Netherfield)) In the entry TLM-P prepared for Burke's //Colonial Gentry//, Robert Prior was said to have left an widow, daughter and son Thomas.((Burke's //Colonial Gentry//, p.51. Neither women were identified by name.))
