Hope this helps! Carol
Hi Carol,
Wow, what a lot of data. I really appreciate your great posts.
As you can see, I have edited out most and am asking about the John de
Sudeley connection above.
The stuff I sent you last week or so ago was based on the LDS Ancestral
File and I haven't found much else on the generation you have above. But
the one reference I did find has info which says John de Sudeley (Ancestral
File# TL33-N8):
"John de Sudeley, Chamberlain to Edward I., was summoned to Parliament
1299; his grandson John De Sudeley, d. 1339, leaving an only surviving dau.
Joane Sudeley m. William Boteler, of Wemme; her grandson, Sir Ralph
Boteler, K.G., of Sudeley, was created Baron Sudeley, by patent, 1441,
d.s.p." as quoted from the book "The General Armory" under the surname
Sudeley. (my note: King Edward I ruled from 1272-1307.) (I already sent a
portion of that quote earlier which you'll recognize.)
Now, the LDS AF says he died by 18 April 1336. The LDS IGI estimates his
birth as in 1257.
As you know, my contention is that there was a brother of the above Joane
Sudeley, the one to accompany Queen Philippa of Lancaster, of Portugal in
1386, and Joane wasn't an only surviving daughter, but had this brother in
Portugal.
So now I come to the above quote from your message. The Baron Sudeley, John
de Sudeley who died by 18 April 1336, is listed with no wife (unknown,
though the AF identifies her as Mrs. John de Sudeley - they're right, of
course...<g>). This John de Sudeley was the son of Bartholomeu de Sudeley,
knight, who died 29 June 1280 (again, according to AF) and he married Joan
de Beauchamp. Now I wonder about this Beauchamp lady.
The IGI has two entries for this couple (obviously two people sent it in to
them). One estimates their marriage in 1256. The other in 1270 in Warwick,
England.
About this Joan de Beauchamp, I have a mysterious note to myself which I no
longer know what it means: Her husband "m. Joan liv. 1298. (CP XII (1) 415."
Maybe someone here will recognize this reference.
So I don't have any record of John de Sudeley marrying your above "Margaret
de Beauchamp was born about 1278 in of, Warwick"
Does your reference state the parents of this John de Sudeley? I had no
names for the parents of the one the IGI and AF call Joan de Beauchamp.
Thanks,
Doug Holmes
My ancestor, Richard de Radcliffe of Radcliffe Tower, who was born in approximately 1379, was contracted to bring three men-at-arms and nine foot archers to King Henry V to cross the channel, and he very likely fought in what was later to be known as the Siege of Harfleur, and the Battle at Agincourt.

Since "This day is called the feast of Crispian," and all that, I was just wondering how many of us have ancestors who were present on this date in 1415, at the Battle of Agincourt.
