[UTZ]

In "The Ancestry of Charles II" by Neil Thompson and Charles Hansen we have
1st given

#252.Jean de Foix [1414-1485]
#253 Margaret de la Pole [1420-aft1485]

Correction made later

#253 Margaret Kerdeston [ c. 1426-aft1485]

Later editions then have

#506 John de la Pole
#507 NN

#1012 Sir Leonard de Kerdeston
#1013 Margaret
#1014 Michael de la Pole

I either missed, or a correction has not been printed for #506 & 507. Help.

Always optimistic--Dave

..........This seems strange to me.........
I did not see these amendments or additions and therefor I may
well be behind. However, Schwennicke still gives
253 Margaret de la Pole daughter of John

Who changed this and have these been verified? I am sure many people
would like to know.
Look forward to hear.

Here is the correcting entry:
253. Margaret Kerdeston, c.1426, living 5 December 1485, wrongly called "de
la Pole" by many, niece of William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, until his
overthrow and execution in 1450 the most powerful subject in England, who gave
to her husband with her marriage revenues from Bordeaux including 1200 tuns
[sic] of wine and £500 annually, and who was accused of having dishonestly
gained the lordship and the castle of Claxton and other lands in Norfolk and
Suffolk which were of her inheritance, she was granted in the will of her
husband a life estate in the baronies of Gurson and Fleix.
