[Complete Peerage II:435, XIV:125, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- The following is a post to SGM, 9 Jan 2002, by Douglas Richardson: From: Douglas Richardson (royalancestry@msn.com) Subject: Correction for Complete Peerage: Elizabeth, lst wife of Hugh Burnell, 2nd Lord Burnell Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2002-01-09 02:13:31 PST Dear Hap [Henry Sutliff] In answer to your query regarding the identity of the first wife of Sir Hugh Burnell, 2nd Lord Burnell (died 1420), it appears her given name was Elizabeth. This is indicated by an inquisition dated Monday after St. Andrew 44 Edward III [1370], an abstract of which is found in the Calendar of Inquisitions Miscellaneous, 3 (1937): 285, which I quote below: "Robert Burnel, bishop of Bath gave to Joan Charles for life his manor of Billyngford [Norfolk], which is worth 20 marks yearly, and is held of the honour of Peverel by the service of 2-1/2 knights' fees. After her death Edward Burnel, being of full age, entered thereon 37 years ago as kinsman and heir of the said Robert without doing relief, as the jurors believe, and died without an heir of his body, whereupon Maud his sister, being of full age, entered thereon as his heir without doing relief, as the jurors believe. Afterwards by license of the king, John Haudlo and the said Maud, then his wife, thereof enfeoffed divers persons unknown, who granted the said manor by like license to the said John and Maud for their lives, with remainder to Nicholas their son, who by like license enfeoffed divers persons, who granted it by license to Hugh Burnel and Elizabeth his wife, who now hold it." This information corrects Complete Peerage sub Burnell which incorrectly states that Sir Hugh Burnell married (1st) Philippe de la Pole, a ficticious person [This was corrected to be "____" (unknown person) by CP XIV:125]. Below please find an account of Sir Hugh Burnell taken from the forthcoming book, Plantagenet Ancestry, 3rd edition. Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah E-mail: royalancestry@msn.com Burnell information from Plantagenet Ancestry, 3rd edition: I. HUGH BURNELL, K.G., 2nd Lord Burnell, of Holdgate and Acton Burnell, Salop, Bidford, co. Warwick, Great Cheverell, Wiltshire, etc., and in right of his 2nd wife, of Weoley, co. Worcester, Governor of Bridgnorth and Montgomery Castles, son and heir, born about 1347 (aged 36 in 1383). He married (1st) before 1370 ELIZABETH _____. They had one son, Edward, Knt. She was living in 1370. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 Aug. 1383. He married (2nd) in 1386, before 22 May, to JOYCE BOTETOURT, Lady Botetourt suo jure, daughter of John Botetourt, of Little Linford, co. Buckingham, by Maud, daughter of John de Grey, 1st Lord Grey, of Rotherfield, co. Oxford. They had no issue. She died 1 Jan. 1406/7, and was buried at Hales Abbey, Shropshire. He married (3rd) in 1408 or 1409 JOAN DEVEREUX, widow of Walter Fitz Walter, Lord Fitz Walter (died at Venice 16 May 1407), and daughter of John Devereux, 1st Lord Devereux, by Maud, daughter of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford.
