General Notes

He married Alice, sister and heir of Henry, and daughter of Henry TEYES (LORDS TEYES), who was aged 30 and more in 1327. In 1334 his widow obtained leave to transfer his body and that of her brother Henry (also executed and buried in the Carmelites' church in London, to Chilton, Wilts, where her ancestors were buried and where chantries were founded. Though her husband's forfeited estates were given to the Despensers and others, she was allowed maintenance.  In Dec 1326 she had a grant of the custody of Kingston and other of her husband's manors, and in March following had a further grant of all the goods of her late husband and her brother Henry.  As all proceedings against Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and his adherents were annulled in the Parliament of 1 Edward III, the forfeiture of her brother Henry was presumably reversed and she would, according to modern doctrine, be held to have become Baroness Teys or Tyes.  In 1330 she received a general pardon and in 1332 obtained a charter for markets and fairs at Penzance and other manors in Cornwall, and in 1336 a charter for the free warren at Chilton, Kingston Lisle, etc.  She died 2 August 1347 (o).

(o) In 1342 she excused her non-attendance at an inquisition on the plea that she was nurse of the King's son Richard, but it was alleged that this was false, the King having no son of that name.
