• Notes

  The ancestry of Margaret is not certain. Many have her the daughter of a Michael de la Pole, "a younger son of the Earl of Suffolk". Although the Earl of Suffolk was still around as a lesser title for the Dukes, nobody, except for the 2nd Duke's son Edmund (c1471-1513) (he was too young to be such a Michael's father) had gone by the title of Earl of Suffolk for 3 generations by the time of Margaret de la Pole. The last Earl of Suffolk who had children was a Michael de la Pole, d. 1415. Therefore if Michael de la Pole, as Margaret's father, was a younger son of a titled peer, he would have been the younger son of one of the Dukes. I found this ancestry in World Connect, db=:2181483, Jeanie Davis. It is as probable as any, and more than most. The only "iffy" part of it is Margaret being the daughter of John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, whom Burke's Peerage states died without issue (dsp).
