She was described as a widow on the marriage entry. | Family (F5945)
|
| 4052 |
She was the daughter of John Wake, 1st Baron Wake of Liddell, (son of Baldwin Wake and Hawise de Quincy) and Joan de Fiennes. By her father, she was descended from Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd and Joan, Lady of Wales, the illegitimate daughter of John I of England. Her mother, Joan de Fiennes, was a daughter of William de Fiennes and Blanche (Lady of Loupeland) de Brienne. She was a sister of Margaret de Fiennes, making Wake a cousin of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March. Joan de Fiennes also descended from Emperor Jean de Brienne and Berengaria of León, herself the granddaughter of Eleanor of England, Queen of Castile.
Marriages[edit]
Margaret married John Comyn (c. 1294-1314) around 1312, son of the John Comyn who was murdered by Robert the Bruce in 1306. Her husband John died at the Battle of Bannockburn, and their only child, Aymer Comyn (1314–1316) died as a toddler. She married for a second time, to Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent. They received a dispensation in October 1325, and the wedding probably took place at Christmas.
Through her marriage to Edmund of Woodstock (who was executed for treason in 1330), she was the mother of two short-lived Earls of Kent, of Margaret and Joan of Kent (wife of Edward, the Black Prince). The pregnant Margaret and her children were confined to Salisbury Castle, and her brother Thomas Wake, 2nd Baron Wake of Liddell was accused of treason but later pardoned. When King Edward III of England reached his majority and overthrew the regents, he took in Margaret and her children and treated them as his own family. She succeeded briefly as Baroness Wake of Liddell in 1349, but died during an outbreak of the plague that autumn.
Margaret and Edmund's descendants include King Henry VII and queen consorts Anne Neville, Elizabeth of York, and Catherine Parr.

Sheila Castro, who is researching the family of Cornelius Burton Epps and Frances Ann Weatherell kindly provided the information concerning the marriage date and place of Alice Jemmett and George Epps. It is her belief that none of the three daughters of Alice and George ever married. In 1901 the five members of this family were living on Solly's Alley in Faversham. George was working as a builder's general labourer. He was 43 and Alice was 44. Grace was a dressmaker's apprentice and the two younger girls were not yet working.

OTTERPLEY is a manor in Challock, Kent, the mansion of which has been for many years pulled down, and the scite and demesnes of it, which lay near Eastwell, included in the upper park there, which was formerly from it called Aperfields garden. This was one of the seats, of which there were several in this county, belonging to the antient family of Appulderfield, called by contraction, Apperfield, whose original arms, Ermine, a fess vaire, or, and gules, as well as their augmentation, granted by king Richard I. to Henry de Apulderfield, Sable, a cross, or, voided of the field, are in several places on the roof of Canterbury cloisters, and in the windows of several churches in that city. Henry de Apulderfield, who resided at Apulderfield, in Cowdham, was possessed of it in the reign of Henry III. and is said to have had a grant anno 38 of that reign, of a market and fair at his manor of Otterpley, but if ever they were held, they have been long since disused. His descendant Henry de Apulderfield held his shrievalty at Otterpley, in the 50th year of king Edward III. being the last of that prince's reign. From him it passed to Richard, lord Poynings, who died possessed of it in the 11th year of king Richard II.

Actress Jean Paige was known as Lucile O’Hair to her Edgar County fans
BY:
NANCY ZEMAN
nzeman@prairiepress.net
Long before Paris and Edgar County could lay claim to Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer, Paris was known as the birthplace for a silent film leading lady whose society wedding at the family farm made news around the world.
Lucile Beatrice O’Hair — later known as Jean Paige — was born July 3, 1895, and raised on the family farm located 10 miles southwest of Paris, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wigfall S. O’Hair. According to her biography, Paige was “a brunette silent screen leading lady” with Vitagraph from 1917 until 1924. Paige, her biographers wrote, “had a strict religious upbringing and was trained for acting at Kings School of Oratory, Elocution and Dramatic Culture in Pittsburgh.”
She had appeared in several minor roles in silent film before coming to prominence in “Too Many Crooks” in 1919.
“As Charlotte Brown, she made a star part out of a bit part,” her biographers wrote. While her acting was praised by Albert E. Smith, president of Vitagraph, who elevated her to leading lady after “Too Many Crooks,” many in the silent film community argued she was “rather undynamic.”
On Dec. 14, 1920, however, Jean Paige married Smith in a ceremony at the home of her parents.
Smith was considered as one of the pioneers of the movie industry and was one of the founders of Vitagraph in 1898.
In the book “Two Wheels and a Crank,” Smith wrote he became fascinated with motion pictures after dropping a nickel into a big box and “taking a peek,” as he called it. Smith takes ownership to inventing the motion picture projector and helped expand the new medium into a multi-million dollar industry.
The couple was married before “a company of 50 relatives and intimate friends of the bride.” A harpist from Indianapolis played the wedding march and other music prior to the wedding.
“The bride was charming in a simple, white satin gown with real lace trimmings,” a newspaper account said. “Her tulle veil, entraine, was caught to the coiffure with real orange blossoms. Her shower bouquet was orchids and gardenias.”
Following the wedding, the couple, accompanied by friends and business associates, left for New York in Smith’s private rail car. The couple returned to Paris to spend the holidays with the O’Hair family before leaving for California. Smith, the article stated, was planning to build “a magnificent home on a 75-acre knob overlooking the Pacific Ocean.”
Jean Paige graduated from Paris High School in 1915 and after studying in Pittsburgh, earned a contract with the Vitagraph Company. The story indicated the star had recently been cast in a special film project, “Black Beauty,” which was to be released in January, playing opposite of James Morrison of Mattoon.
“She will continue her work in motion pictures at a salary of $1,000 a week,” the article noted.
Smith presented his bride with wedding gifts, including a Cadillac sedan and “an exquisite piece of jewelry set with diamonds.”
“Since her arrival in Paris a week ago, Mrs. Smith’s many friends have had the pleasure of admiring her engagement ring, a square diamond set in platinum, which, it is said, was purchased at a cost of $5,000. The platinum guard is also set with diamonds.”
Smith sold Vitagraph Studios to Warner Brothers in 1925 and with his wife, retired. She never acted in film again.
The couple continued to visit Paris and relatives, traveling by Smith’s private coach, which was set off on a siding in the Paris depot. The elaborate rail car was the talk of the Paris community.
In 1948, Smith was presented an honorary Oscar at the annual ceremony of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood. The inscription on the base of the Oscar reads: “One of the small group of pioneers whose belief in a new medium, and whose contributions to its development, blazed the trail along which the motion picture has progressed, in their lifetime, from obscurity to world-wide acclaim.”
His book, “Two Reels and a Crank,” his dedicated to Lucile, his wife’s given name. Smith died in 1958. Lucile died in 1990 in Los Angeles.

Sir Dafydd ap Llewelyn ap Hywel (c. 1380 – 25 October 1415), better known as Dafydd Gam or Davy Gam, was a Welsh nobleman, a prominent opponent of Owain Glyndŵr. He died at the Battle of Agincourt fighting for King Henry V, King of England in that victory against the French.
The name "Gam" is taken from a Welsh word for "lame/deformed" (from which "gammy", as in "gammy leg", may be derived). Regarded as a traitor ("Crooked David") by some Welshmen, he is regarded as a hero by others; his reputation has waxed and waned with those of his enemy Owain Glyndŵr and his ally King Henry V.
Descent[edit]
Dafydd Gam was a member of one of the most prominent Welsh families in Breconshire. His recent pedigree was 'Dafydd Gam ap Llywelyn ap Hywel Fychan ap Hywel ap Einion Sais', but beyond that the family claimed an ancient Welsh lineage going back to the Kings of Brycheiniog. Dafydd Gam was the grandson of Hywel Fychan, who held the manor of Parc Llettis near Llanover in Monmouthshire near Abergavenny, and fourth in descent from Einion Sais who held a castle at Pen Pont on the River Usk near Brecon and who had served at both the Battle of Crecy and the Battle of Poitiers. Their power base had developed mainly as consistently loyal supporters of the de Bohun family who were both earls of Hereford and Lords of Brecon from the 13th century onwards. Dafydd Gam's father, Llywelyn ap Hywel, purchased the estate of Penywaun near Brecon and Dafydd is thought to have been born there. His family was described as "a striking example of a native family that flourished under the rule of an English aristocratic family."[1] Under Llywelyn ap Hywel, the family's traditional loyalty was transferred to the new Lord of Brecon, Henry Bolingbroke, who had married Mary de Bohun in the 1380s. Some say Dafydd was previously in service to Henry's father John of Gaunt and, having killed a rival in Brecon High Street, had to leave Wales temporarily.[2]
Glyndŵr rebellion[edit]
Dafydd Gam was certainly being paid the substantial annuity of 40 marks by Henry's estate in 1399, even before Bolingbroke became King, and later he and his brothers were described as King's esquires.[1] It seems likely they were prominent partisans of Henry in South East Wales as he gathered support for his overthrow of Richard II around 1399.
When the Owain Glyndŵr rebellion broke out in 1400, the family's traditional loyalty to their liege lord remained unshaken and they played a leading role in opposition to the rebellion in the area. Their lands in and around Brecon became a target for Glyndŵr's attacks, and were extensively damaged as early as 1402–1403. The Scottish chronicler Walter Bower names Dafydd as a leader in the crushing defeat of Glyndŵr's men at the Battle of Pwll Melyn near Usk on 5 May 1405.[1] After the battle, 300 of Glyndŵr's men were executed and his son, Gruffudd ab Owain Glyndŵr, was captured. Gam's local knowledge might well have played a part in the Crown's victory here and in other battles like that at Grosmont around the same time, and may have won over local Welshmen to fight against Glyndŵr. The family's loyalty was rewarded with the gift of some of Glyndŵrs' supporters' confiscated estates in Cardiganshire. In 1412 Dafydd Gam was captured by Glyndŵr's men and estimates of the amount paid as his ransom recorded at the time, range from 200 to 700 marks, a large amount. That it was paid directly and speedily from the King's estates in Wales indicates the esteem in which Gam was held by Henry.[1] Glyndŵr had made Gam swear an oath to never bear arms against him again or oppose him in any other way. On his release Gam told King Henry of Glyndŵr's whereabouts and attacked Glyndwr's men. Glyndŵr had Gam's Brecon estates attacked and burned in retaliation and his Brecon house was razed.
Agincourt[edit]
Given King Henry V's leadership in the campaign against Glyndŵr, Dafydd would have known the new King crowned in 1413 personally, and perhaps even fought alongside him. Records show that Dafydd Gam served with three-foot archers in the Battle of Agincourt campaign. His death in the battle was a fact noted in several contemporary chronicles.[1] There is much controversy about whether Gam was knighted at the battle. His example shows that Welshmen continued to fight in the English army after the Glyndŵr rebellion.
Stories of Gam's exploits at Battle of Agincourt in which he saved Henry V's life, and that he was knighted either posthumously or as he was dying on the field of victory at Agincourt by King Henry V as a result, are not vouched for in contemporary sources and have thus been discounted by many historians.[1][3] According to the legend the intervention occurred during the counter-charge of John I, Duke of Alençon, which certainly is historical, leading to the wounding of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and Henry fighting hand-to-hand in the late stage of the battle. The King was hard pressed and the Duke of Alençon supposedly cut an ornament from Henry's crown with a sword blow. Then a group of Welsh knights in the King's bodyguard led by Dafydd Gam intervened to save Henry's life, only for some to be killed in doing so, including Dafydd himself, and his son in law Sir Roger Vaughan. One of those supposedly involved in this exploit was Sir William ap Thomas who survived the battle. Some accounts claim Dafydd slew the Duke of Alençon himself. This story was being frequently told by the Tudor period in histories of the campaign and by the descendants of those involved and was widely accepted as the truth at that time. Although both Gam and Vaughan did die in the battle, the exact circumstances of their deaths are unknown. Gam's reputation was still very much alive in 19th-century Wales. George Borrow said of him: “where he achieved that glory which will for ever bloom, dying, covered with wounds, on the field of Agincourt after saving the life of the king, to whom in the dreadest and most critical moment of the fight he stuck closer than a brother.”[4] Juliet Barker, while not accepting the rest of the legend, states in her authoritative history of Agincourt that "Llewelyn was knighted on the field, only to fall in the battle." She says Dafydd's Welsh comrade, and posthumous son-in-law, Sir William ap Thomas may have been knighted at Agincourt.[5]
Descendants[edit]
Some of Dafydd's descendants, who adopted the surname 'Games' to mark their connection to him, remained one of the most powerful families in the Breconshire area until Stuart times.[6] They were noted for their support for Welsh bards. His beautiful daughter Gwladys ferch Dafydd Gam, Seren y Fenni (the Star of Abergavenny), made two good marriages, the first to Sir Roger Vaughan, who also died at Agincourt. Her second was to Sir William ap Thomas of Raglan Castle who survived the battle. Her son became the extremely powerful William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423-1469) and took the surname Herbert, later to become one of the best known names in the nobility. All these noble connections ensured Dafydd Gam's name remained a celebrated one.
Legacy[edit]
Like his opponent Glyndŵr, Gam has gained a sheen of legend and many stories about him are late oral traditions, folklore and family legends which may be unreliable. Chief amongst them is the tale that he tried to assassinate Glyndŵr at his parliament at Machynlleth in 1404. The still standing Royal House in that town is where, according to local lore, he was imprisoned when the attempt failed. The legends differ on his fate after the attempt failed some state Glyndŵr in a generous gesture let Gam go soon after the Parliament, despite Gam's refusal to submit, a decision he was later to regret. Others claim he was imprisoned for years, but given Gam's seeming participation in the Battle of Pwll Melyn in 1405 they certainly cannot be true. The stories concerning his rivalry with Glyndŵr include satirical englyn in Welsh supposedly composed by Glyndŵr himself on his rival after burning his house to the ground. These stories also contain descriptions of Gam recorded by George Borrow: "He was small of stature and deformed in person, though possessed of great strength. He was very sensitive of injury, though quite as alive to kindness; a thorough-going enemy and a thorough-going friend."[2] Whatever the truth of these tales there seems no doubt that Glyndŵr and his men, and popular tradition, regarded Dafydd as one of the chief enemies of the rebellion. Gam is a key character in John Cowper Powys's novel Owen Glendower.
The stories certainly testify to Dafydd Gam's position as typifying the loyal and valiant Welshman by the Tudor period. He is better known in England as "Davy Gam," by which name he is mentioned briefly in Shakespeare's Henry V (4.8.102) as the last name in the short list of the noble fallen read out to King Henry. He may have made an even larger contribution to the play for as the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states Dafydd: “may indeed, as has been suggested, be the model for Shakespeare's Fluellen, the archetypal Welshman."[1] This theory making Dafydd Gam one of the sources for the play has long been discussed, as early as 1812 it was said "There can be little doubt but that Shakspeare, in his burlesque character of Fluellen, intended David Gam."[5][7][8]
Fluellen: "If your Majesty is remembered of it, the Welshmen did good service in a garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps, which your Majesty knows, to this hour is an honourable badge of the service, and I do believe, your Majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek upon Saint Tavy's day". King Henry: "I wear it for a memorable honour; for I am Welsh, you know, good my countryman".
Monmouthshire Traditions[edit]
According to local legend one of Gam's homes was a moated manor house [1] at Llantilio Crossenny, near Abergavenny in Monmouthshire (where just the moat remains today [2], at Hen Gwrt near the modern-day village). Dafydd Gam is commemorated in a stained glass window, of unknown date, at Llantilio Crossenny church, in the north wall. The inscription is in Latin and the transcription reads 'David Gam, golden haired knight, Lord of the manor of Llantilio Crossenny, killed on the field of Agincourt 1415'.

Sir Henry de Apelderefeld held on knight's fee, held the manor of Apuldrefield out of the manor of Cudham of Geoffry de Say.
At the death of William de Say during 1271/2 [56 Henry III] Sir Henry de Apelderefeld held one knight's fee of the said William de Say in the manor of Cudham. Sir Henry de Apelderefeld was the spouse of Sibilla, who was the daughter of John Marshall of Linton, Kent. The son and heir of Sir Henry de Apelderefled, William, then aged 19 years. From an 'extent of the manor of Cudham' made (22 Sept.) 56 Hen. III. upon the death of William de Say we find "Item, they say that Sir Henry de Apelderefeld holds in the said manor two knight's fees (an error for one knight's fee), and his heirs owe for a relief 10/. (5/.),"
Of the family of Apuldrefield, the first mention we have discovered is in 3 Ric. I, 1191, when Sir Henry de Apuldrefield and Sir Henry de ApulIrefield the son are found serving under Richard I. at Acre. A Sir Henry de Apuldrefeld, son doubtless of the last, was also in Gascony with Henry III in 1230.
In 31 Henry III, 1246-7, Henry de Apeltrefield, who may be considered his son, with Beatrix his wife, occurs in a fine as plaintiff" with David de Eatonbridge (de Ponte Edulmi) and Sabina his wife defendants, of ten acres of land called Werland with their appurtenances in Apeltrefeld. Judgment to Henry and Beatrice.
On 20 December, 38 Henry III, 1253, the same Henry obtained a grant of a market on the Tuesday of every week, and a fair on the eve and day of the Assumption of the Virgin (14 and 15 August) in his manor of Apuldrefield.
In 39 Henry 111, 1254-5, as Henry son of Henry (so called most probably to distinguish him from the other Henry in the proceeding named, who seems to have been son of William), he occurs as plaintiff in a fine with Henry de Appeltrefeld and Letitia, his wife, defendants, of the third part, of the manor of Sundrish with its appurtenances. Judgment to Henry son of Henry.
In 42 Henry III, 1257-8, in a fine between Nicholas deWinton and Petronella his wife "plaintiffs" and Peter de la Mare "defendant", he was called to warrant and did warrant to the said Peter 20s. rent in Appeltrefeld.
In 43 Henry III, 1258-9, he occurs in a fine as plaintiff with Bartholomew de Moriston and Matilda
his wife defendants of one messuage and sixty acres of land with appurtenances in Sundrish. | APULDERFIELD, Henry I de Sr. (I12593)

Early years
Sir Hugh de Courtenay, born 25 March 1251,[1] was the son and heir of John de Courtenay of Okehampton, Devon, by Isabel de Vere, daughter of Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford, and Hawise de Quincy.[2] John's father, Robert de Courtenay (d. 26 July 1242),[3] son of Renaud II de Courtenay (d.1190) by Hawise de Curcy (d.1219), heiress of the feudal barony of Okehampton,[4] married Mary de Redvers (sometimes called 'de Vernon'), daughter of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon (d.1217). Renaud II was son of Renaud de Courtenay.
In order to avoid military service Courtenay paid a fine on 12 December 1276. He was called to arms on the emergency against the Welsh princes, fighting in the 1282 campaign. He attended upon the King at Shrewsbury on 28 June 1283. In 1284, he came into possession of The Abbey, Sutton Courtenay, which he first leased to Solomon of Rochester. He again absented himself from the wars on 14 June 1287 by paying the King's justice a fine.[5]

Courtenay married Eleanor le Despenser (d.1328),[6] daughter of Hugh le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer, Justiciar of England, of Loughborough, Leicestershire and Ryhall, Rutland by his wife Aline Basset, daughter of Sir Philip Basset, Justiciar of England, of Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and Compton Bassett and Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. By his wife he had four[6] sons and five[6] daughters:[7]

=============================================================================
The feudal barony of Okehampton was a very large feudal barony, the largest mediaeval fiefdom in the county of Devon, England,[1] whose caput was Okehampton Castle and manor. It was one of eight feudal baronies in Devonshire which existed during the mediaeval era.[2]

Descent
First folio of listing of Devonshire manors held by Baldwin the Sheriff, forming the feudal barony of Okehampton, Domesday Book, 1086.
The first holder of the feudal barony of Okehampton was Baldwin FitzGilbert (dead by Jan 1091) called in the Latin Domesday Book of 1086 Baldvinus Vicecomes, "Baldwin the Viscount" (of Devon), which office equated to the earlier Saxon office of Sheriff of Devon. As younger son of Gilbert, Count of Brionne, he was cousin of William the Conqueror.[1] His fiefdom listed in Domesday Book comprised 176 land-holdings, mostly manors, but 2 of which, listed first, comprised groups of houses in Barnstaple and Exeter. The third holding listed for his fiefdom is Okehampton: Ipse Balduin ten(et) de rege Ochementone, ibi sedet castellum ("Baldwin himself (i.e. in demesne) holds Okehampton from the king, there sits his castle"). The nature of the feudal land tenure for feudal barons was per baroniam, that is to say they were bound to serve the king as one of his barons, which involved onerous duties not only of attending parliaments to advise the king but also of providing knights and soldiers for military service to the royal army for specified periods each year. The baron himself was frequently present in battle.
Norman
The descent of Okehampton in the family of Baldwin fitzGilbert was as follows:[3]
Baldwin FitzGilbert (dead by Jan 1091), Sheriff of Devon. All three of his sons died successively without children.
William FitzBaldwin (died 1096), son of Baldwin, died without children
Robert FitzBaldwin (died 1101), brother of William, died without children
Richard FitzBaldwin (died 1137), brother of Robert, Sheriff of Devon in 1096 and/or 1116,[citation needed] died without children. He founded Brightley Abbey[4]
The ownership of Okehampton then becomes obscure for two decades,[3] before it was held by a descendant of Baldwin fitzGilbert.
Maud d'Avranches (died 1173), daughter and sole-heiress of Robert d'Avranches, who was son of William fitzWimund by a daughter of Baldwin fitzGilbert.[5] She married firstly William de Curci (died pre 1162), by him having a daughter Hawise. As a widow, she would remarry to Robert FitzRoy (died 1172), a natural son of King Henry I of England. By her second husband Maud had a further daughter, Maud du Sap (died 1224). Maud du Sap, following her father's death, became a royal ward, and King Henry II married her to Reginald I de Courtenay (died 1190).
Hawise de Curci (died 1219), daughter Maud by William de Curci, married the step-son of her half-sister, Reginald de Courtenay. Through this marriage, the barony came into the possession of the Courtenay family.
Courtenay
Arms of Courtenay: Or, three torteaux
Robert de Courtenay (died 1242), son of Reginald de Courtenay (died 1194) by his wife Hawise de Curci (died 1219), heiress of Okehampton. He married Mary de Vernon, daughter of William de Redvers, 5th Earl of Devon (died 1217), feudal baron of Plympton, Devon. From this marriage the Courtenays later inherited the barony of Plympton in 1293 and in 1335 were declared Earls of Devon.[6]
John de Courtenay (died 1274),[7] (son) who married Isabel de Vere, daughter of Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford (c. 1210 - 1263)
Sir Hugh de Courtenay (died 1292),[7] (son) who married Eleanor le Despenser (died 1328), daughter of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester (1261-1326).
Hugh Courtenay, 9th Earl of Devon (1276-1340),[7] (son). In 1293 on the death of his cousin Isabella de Forz, Countess of Devon (1237-1293) (eldest daughter of Baldwin de Redvers, 6th Earl of Devon (1217-1245), feudal baron of Plympton in Devon[8]) he became heir to the feudal barony of Plympton,[8] and in 1335 was declared Earl of Devon. The descent of the feudal barony of Okehampton thenceforth follows the descent of the earldom of Devon.[9] In 1539 King Henry VIII seized the lands of the barony and had Henry Courtenay, 1st Marquess of Exeter(died 1539) executed for treason.[10] The Earldom of Devon became forfeit, and the Courtenay lands in Cornwall escheated (i.e. reverted) to the crown to be held by the Duchy of Cornwall.

Born about 1366, he was the son and heir of Sir Robert Howard (died 1389), of Wiggenhall, and his wife Margaret (died 1416), daughter of Robert Scales, 3rd Lord Scales, and his wife Katherine, daughter of Robert Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk. His grandfather Sir John Howard (died 1364), had served as Admiral of the northern fleet from 1335 to 1337 and had married an heiress Alice, daughter of Sir Robert de Boys, of Fersfield.[1]
Career
By 1380 he was married to an heiress and had been knighted by March 1387, when he served at sea in the fleet commanded by Richard FitzAlan, 11th Earl of Arundel that fought the French and their allies at the Battle of Margate. In 1389 both his father and his father-in-law died, bringing him most of the paternal lands as well as those inherited by his wife, which he retained for life when she died in 1391. These estates gave him not only a considerable income but also local influence.[1]
In 1394 he was appointed a member of the Royal Household for life, serving in the English expedition that year against Ireland. In 1397, by which time he had married another heiress, he was made a justice of the peace (JP) for both Suffolk and Essex and in September was elected a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Essex. This Parliament was used by King Richard II to penalise his opponents and, on behalf of the Crown, Howard was empowered to seize the estates of rebel nobles and to collect large fines from the dissident counties of Essex and Hertfordshire. He then accompanied the King on his second expedition to Ireland in 1399.[1]
His position in the Royal Household was not renewed under the new reign of King Henry IV but he continued to sit as a JP and serve on royal commissions. He served the first of two terms as High Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in 1400, during which he was summoned to the Great Council of August 1401, and was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in both 1401 and 1402. In 1407 he returned to Parliament as MP for Cambridgeshire.[1]
In 1408 his wife's father died and she inherited his lands. Chosen again as Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in 1414, he was involved in preparations for the first expedition to France of the new King, Henry V. In 1420 he was in difficulty over a feud in Suffolk with the influential MP Sir Thomas Kerdiston, which Sir Thomas Erpingham reported to the Privy Council, but by 1422 was sufficiently in favour locally to be elected Suffolk's MP.[1]
After sitting in this third Parliament, and following the death of his second wife in 1426, he took less part in local administration, though continuing as a JP and on royal commissions. In February 1436 he was asked to contribute 100 marks to the cost of the Duke of York’s expedition to France.
He then went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where he died in Jerusalem on 17 November 1437. His remains were brought back to England and buried beside his second wife at Stoke-by-Nayland.[1]

Landholdings
Through both his parents and through his two wives, he acquired estates in several adjoining counties, among them:
In Norfolk: Wiggenhall, Fersfield, East Winch, five manors near King’s Lynn, Garboldisham, Toft, Weeting and Knapton.[1]
In Suffolk: Stoke-by-Nayland, Chelsworth, and Brook Hall near Dunwich.[1]
In Essex: Stansted Mountfichet, Oakley and Moze.[1]
In Cambridgeshire: Fowlmere.[1]
After the death of his eldest son in 1409, leaving an only daughter as heiress, he settled many of these properties on this granddaughter and, when she married in 1425, he assured John de Vere, her husband, that many more would follow. His second son then died in 1436, leaving a grandson, John Howard, as the heir to be provided for. After his own death in 1437, bitter feuds over the inheritance broke out between the de Veres and the Howards, which continued into the Wars of the Roses, in which both John de Vere and John Howard lost their lives.[1]
Family
In about 1380 he married Margaret, daughter and heiress of John Plaiz, 5th Lord Plaiz, and his second wife Joan, daughter of Sir Miles Stapleton, of Bedale, and his second wife Joan, daughter of Sir Oliver Ingham.[1] They had one son:
John (died 1409), who married Joan, daughter of John Walton, of Wivenhoe, and his wife Margaret Sutton, and had a daughter:[1]
Elizabeth (died 1475), who in 1425 married John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford.[1]
Margaret died in August 1391, and by June 1397 he had married Alice, only daughter and heiress of Sir William Tendring (died 1408), of Stoke-by-Nayland, and his wife Catherine (died 1402), widow of Sir Thomas Clopton, of Kentwell Hall at Long Melford, and daughter of William Mylde, of Clare.[1] They had two sons:
Robert (died 1436), who in 1420 married Margaret (died 1459), daughter of Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk, and had three children, including:
John, who became Duke of Norfolk.[1]
Henry (died 1446).[2]
Alice died on 18 October 1426 and was buried at Stoke-by-Nayland.[1]
