\nThe Bassets of Beaupre
\nTo Figure Largely In the Pageant<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A unique acquisition has been made by the Welsh National Pageant in the person of Mr. P.T.B. Basset, of Beaupre, who has promised to represent his ancestor, that other Basset of Beaupre, the sage Philip who is credited by many with having actually penned the Charter of British freedom, and who appeared with Llewelyn the Great when that Prince met the Lords Marcher of Wales after the signing of Magna Charta, seven hundred years ago. Not only will Mr. Basset represent the baron of the thirteenth century, but it has also been arranged that that feudal baron\u2019s lady will be represented by Mrs. Basset, and that the baron\u2019s sons and daughter will be represented by other scions of the Basset family of today. Though the rugged truculence of old Thurstan de Basset, who fought and robbed in the train of the Conqueror, has been eliminated from the family by the civilizing processes of time, the fighting spirit still remains, and Basset of Beaupre can still bring his sixty armed men on the field, if so commanded by the King. As exemplifying that fact in this wholly different and non-feudal age, it is of more than passing interest to learn that the thirty bowmen who will appear with Basset of Beaupre in the pageant next July will all be Basset men \u2013 men of Beaupre.<\/p>\n
Mr. P.T.B. Basset is now residing at Llanblethian, Cowbridge, to which address he requests that all Bassets who desire to take part in the pageant will write to him this week, if possible.<\/p>\n
