  • Notes 
    • He married, 2ndly, November 1468, Joan, widow of Sir William WILLOUGHBY, daughter of Sir Thomas STRANGWAYS, by Katharine, daughter of Ralph (Nevill] EARL OF WESTMORLAND. She died 24 February 1484/5, and was buried at St Augustine's Friars, London. [Complete Peerage II: 133-35, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

      Usually spelled Strangways without an 'e'. Strangeways would be a variation.

      Joan Strangways was married to Sir William Willoughby by July 1461 when her half-brother, John (VI) de Mowbray, granted to them, for their lives, the reversion of six Yorkshire manors held for life by Katherine. John (VII) confirmed the grant in 1465 but Willoughby had died by Aug. 1468 [When, as his widow, Joan was granted an annuity of 100 marks from the tunnage and poundage of London: CPR 1467-77, 107.] and in the November following she married John's cousin William Lord Berkeley. In June 1475 John (VII) granted to Joan and William the six Yorkshire manors, for Joan's life, and his estate officials were instructed to accept them as occupiers. Joan died in Feb. 1485.
