There is much fabulous tradition respecting the origin of this ancient family, as, that they came from Germany, where their ancestors were musgrawes or lords-marchers-that one of them won the daughter of an Emperor (which, or when is not specified) in the game of running at the ring, whence the annulets in the Musgrave shield-that the family came hither at the Norman Conquest-and that they were moss-graves or guardians of the mosses on the English border. The truth is, that the family originated at Musgrave in Westmoreland, where the name is found so early as the reign of King John, about the year 1204. A descendant acquired Edenhall in Cumberland, by marriage with a co-heiress of Stapleton in the XV. cent. See Shirley's Noble and Gentle Men.
