Notes for Anthony de Tipton:
In the Domesday survey of 1086, Tipton was spelled as Tribintone.Anthony Tipton was descended from the Scottish Tiptons that had settled in and around the borough of Tipton in Shropshire, England in 1282
By beheading Llewelyn of Wales, Antony was knighted by King Edward I on the field of battle near Bulith.
Motto on coat of arms is "Hoc gladium Casusam Decidt bellorum" means"This sword in this hand caused the decision that ended the war."
According to Duport, the Frenchman, Anno Domino 1286, Sir Anthony deTipton crossed the Sea "forsaking idleness" and came into the Court of Philip IV, where King Edward was reconciling the Kings of Sicily and Aragon. Sir Anthony undertook the tournament of Paris where he vanquished Stephen d'Argente, and took possession of his Device which was: ademi-lion Rampant, Argent, Gules and appropriated it unto himself according to the laws of Arms, his cognizance being that day, a coatem broidered with the badge of England.
When Sir Anthony returned to England, it is not known whether he wassometimes called Sir Stephen de Frankton (who is the person credited bythe Encyclopedia Britannica as the slayer of Llewelyn). The Stephen part could have been won in his victory over the Frenchman Stephen d'Argente.
Title was given up at later date due to the expense.

Notes for SIR ANTHONY DE TIPTON:
The earliest Tipton's of which we have any information on Viking's or Norseman who roamed the North Seas in the eighth, ninth, and tenth centuries. It is supposed that the name Tipton was derived from the Goddess "Tibbga" or (St. Tybba).During the year of 850, some of them settled in Scotland, and there are Tipton's there today. Some of their descendants moved down into England,some from there to Ireland, then to Jamaica, and America. During the period preceeding 1282, the Welsh people were subject to English rule.The English were powerful enough to conquer them but soon after the English army would leave, another rebellion would soon be in the making. Llewellyn, the last Prince of the Welsh was the backbone of Welshresistance. Finally, King Edward 1st, King of England decided to send an army into Wales, one that would be large enough and strong enough to completely destroy the Welsh army. Anthony Tipton, a descendant of the Scotch Tipton's, was a member of King Edward's army. His position is not known, but he was mounted on a horse, clad in a coat of mail and equipped with a hand sword and a long spear.
The English army entered Wales and met the Welsh army at the foot of Snowdon Mountain on December 10, 1282 and there the battle was fought in which the Welsh army was completely annihilated but Prince Llewellyn escaped on a horse.
Prince Llewellyn crossed the bridge of Bulith closely pursued by AnthonyTipton. If he could shake this pursuer, he had a good chance of making his escape. The Prince turned into wooded country and suddenly turned togive battle to his pursuer. Both were clad in coats of mail or armour. At that time, firemans had not been invented and all duels were fought with sword or spear. There was a clash of swords and the duel was on. Finally,Tipton managed to thrust his long spear through the armour of the Princeand Prince Llewellyn fell from his horse mortally wounded.
As was customary at that time, the victor would search the body of his victim for valuables or important papers. When Tipton had removed the armour, he was amazed to learn that he slain the Prince of Wales, the man much wanted by King Edward. He stood guard over the body until King Edward was notified. The next day, December 11, 1282, for his bravery and valiant conduct, Anthony Tipton was knighted on the field of battle by King Edward 1st, as SIR ANTHONY de TIPTON. He was given a coat of arms on which was inscribed the motto "Causam Decidit" and at the top of the coat of arms was an upright hand holding a sword. The meaning of the coat of arms is "the sword in this hand caused the decision that ended the war".
In 1901, Mr. Thomas L. M. Tipton of Dunnville, Ontario said the Marylandand Virginia Tiptons were the descendants from Sir Anthony Tipton. Ittook a great deal of money to carry on the pomp and splendor of thetitle. It is not known why the prefix "Sir" and the "de" were dropped butit is supposed it was because of the expense.
All the early records show conclusively that the Tiptons were English,eminently so; tradition says that three brothers came to Maryland. Somesay by way of Scotland others say by way of Ireland, but ultimately from the City of Tipton, Staffordshire, England, centuries old and whose parish records date from 1573.
In "The Tipton Family" by C. B. Heinemann, which was published in the Washington Post, December 23, 1934; the same being published on record inthe Library of Congress, also the Newberry Library of Chicago, Illinois,it is stated that from this family has descended a great line of fightersand pioneers.
