After 26th March 1521 [his father] George Darcy 1st Baron Darcy Aston (age 24) and [his mother] Dorothy Melton Baroness Darcy (age 15) were married. They were fifth cousins.
Around 1540 John Darcy 2nd Baron Darcy Aston was born to George Darcy 1st Baron Darcy Aston (age 43) and Dorothy Melton Baroness Darcy (age 34) at Aston.
In 1548 [his father] George Darcy 1st Baron Darcy Aston (age 51) was created 1st Baron Darcy of Aston. [his mother] Dorothy Melton Baroness Darcy (age 42) by marriage Baroness Darcy of Aston. Some argue this was a restoration of his father's Barony Baron Darcy of Darcy aka Templehurst although when he took his place in the House of Lords it was a junior Baron ie without the precedence of the former Barony suggesting it was a new creation. However, when his son John Darcy 2nd Baron Darcy Aston (age 8) took his place in the House of Lords it was with the precedence of the former Barony.
On 21st September 1557 [his mother] Dorothy Melton Baroness Darcy (age 51) died.

All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed." Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.
