When de Brianville originally produced these cards in 1659, they had kings, queens, knaves and aces.

The suits are arranged thus: hearts for France, clubs for Italy, spades for Northern Europe, diamonds for Spain.

"From the middle of the 13th century onwards the Nevilles of Hornby played an important part in the society of the north, being related, albeit distantly, to the Lords Neville of Raby. Sir Robert Neville the elder served as a j.p. in both Lancashire and Yorkshire, where he enjoyed considerable influence by virtue of his prominent position among the region's landowning gentry. His own inheritance comprised at least 14 Yorkshire manors with widespread appurtenances extending out from the Craven area throughout the West Riding and beyond, the castle and lordship of Hornby and the manors of Melling, Middleton, Croston and Mawdesley in Lancashire, and the manor of Appleby (together with the advowson of Thornholme priory) in Lincolnshire. Since he was reputedly able to muster 'an immense multitude' of armed men from among his tenantry and staff at Hornby alone, he was indeed a figure to be reckoned with in the community. Through his first wife, Joan Atherton, Sir Robert acquired other property in the Lancashire villages of Oldham, Standish and Aintree, so it is hardly surprising that the rich and powerful merchant, Sir William de la Pole, offered his daughter, Margaret, as a suitable bride for Sir Robert's eldest son and heir... ." - History of Parliament Online.
