| Notes |
- BARONY of BERKELEY (IV) 1506
MAURICE (BERKELEY), de jure (apparently) LORD BERKELEY [1421], son and heir, who "may bee called Maurice the Courtier," was born 1467, probably at Thornbury. Keeper of Kingswood Forest 1508 K.B. at the coronation, 23 June 1509; Sheriff of co. Gloucester 1509-10, and 1515-16. residing principally at Yate, co. Gloucester; Sheriff of cos. Leicester and Warwick 1516-17. Knight of the body to Henry VIII, 13 April 1512; Marshal of the Army for Spain, 1512; Captain in the army in France, 1513 and again 1523. Lieutenant of Calais 1520. He is said to have been summoned to the Parliament of 15 April 1523 (at which time he was still abroad), and to have been advised to accept the honour, though the intention, apparently, was to place him as junior Baron. He, however, never took his seat.
He married (contract 28 January 1484/5) Katharine, daughter of Sir William BERKELEY, of Stoke Gifford, co. Gloucester, by Ann, daughter of Sir Humphrey STAFFORD, she being then not much under 17. He died s.p. legit., 12 September 1523 at Calais, and was buried in Trinity chapel within the parish church there. His widow died " not full three years " afterwards, and was buried at Yate.
