    • BARONY OF FERRERS OF GROBY (VI) 1445

      ELIZABETH FERRERS, LADY FERRERS OF GROBY, granddaughter and heir, being only daughter and heir of Sir Henry FERRERS, by Isabel, his wife. She was aged 26 and more at her grandfather's death in 1445, and was then the wife of Sir Edward GREY.

      This Edward was a younger son of Reynold (GREY), LORD GREY OF RUTHIN, being his 1st son by his 2nd wife, Joan, daughter and heir of Sir William DE ASTELEY, of Astley, co. Warwick. He was aged 30 and more in 1445. The King took his homage, and he had livery of his wife's inheritance, 17 July 1445, the escheator in co. Leicester being ordered to take his fealty. He was summoned to Parliament from 14 December1446 to 26 May 1455, by writs directed Edwardo de Grey, with the additions, militi domino de Ferrariis de Groby [1446 to 1448/9), militi domini de Groby (1449 to 1452/3), and de Groby militi (1455). He was one of the Lords who swore allegiance to the King, in Parliament, 24 July 1455 (after the first battle of St. Albans). He died 18 December 1457. Lady Ferrers of Groby married 2ndly, before 2 May 1462, Sir John BOURGCHIER, a younger son of Henry, EARL OF ESSEX: he was a nephew of the Duke of York, and was with the Duke in the skirmish at Ludford, 12 October 1459, being, in consequence, one of those attainted in Parliament, for high treason, soon afterwards. She died on or just before 23 January 1482/3.

      Sir John Bourgchier married, 2ndly, before 6 July 1490, Elizabeth, widow of Sir Ralph ASSHETON, of Kingsnorth and Cheriton, Kent, knight for the King's body (who was living 14 April 1486), and, before that, widow of John KERIELLE, of Stockbury, Kent, to whom she had been 2nd wife: she was daughter of John CHICHELE, of Wimpole, co. Cambridge, Citizen and Chamberlain of London, by Margery, daughter of Thomas KNOLLES, Grocer, twice Mayor of London. He died in 1495, and was buried in Stebbing Church, but was probably transferred to Beeleigh Abbey. His widow died 2 April 1499. [Complete Peerage V:358-61, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
