Coat of arms of Arthur Plantagenet, after his first wedding to Elizabeth Grey, daughter and heiress of Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Lisle (d.1492) by his wife Elizabeth Talbot, a sister and co-heiress of Thomas Talbot, 2nd Baron Lisle and 2nd Viscount Lisle (c.1449-1470). They were children of John Talbot, 1st Viscount Lisle and Joan Cheddar. Thomas Talbot, 2nd Baron Lisle and 2nd Viscount Lisle married Margaret Herbert, the daughter of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke. Upon the death of his grandmother, Margaret Beauchamp, in 1467, Lisle inherited her claims upon the lands of Baron Berkeley. He attempted to gain entrance to Berkeley Castle by bribery; but the plot was discovered, and in a fit of pique, he challenged Lord Berkeley to a trial of arms. The ensuing Battle of Nibley Green was the last battle on English soil fought entirely between private feudatories. The superior numbers of Berkeley won the day: Lisle's troops were routed, he was slain on the field, and Berkeley pillaged Lisle's manor of Wotton-under-Edge. Lady Lisle miscarried a son shortly thereafter; the Viscounty of Lisle became extinct, and the barony passed into abeyance between his two sisters.
