I have not had time to follow this thread, but there is a Burwash (no "g")
in East Sussex, about half way between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne,
however I believe it is pronounced Burrish, or something like that.

Hello Doug, Paul et al.,
I haven't found a definitive confirmation yet, but it does appear that
Joan de Brewes or de Breuse, lst wife of Sir Edmund Bacon, was daughter of
Richard de Beaumont and previously the wife of Sir Giles de Breuse (this from
a website making the connection - looking now for actual
documentation........).
Also, Poynings is correct; and the name in fact is Burghersh (or de
Burghersh). Re: these, and the Bacon-Kerdeston-Burghersh connection (below),
see Tim Powys-Lybbe's site at
www.freewebz.com/powys/pl_tree/ps22/ps22_318.htm
What we seem to be led to is the following marital daisy-chain: for
clarity's sake (!), -1- means First Husband; [1] means First Wife.
Richard de Beaumont
of Witnesham, Suffolk

Hello Bob,
Which Harleian MSS are referred to in CP XII/1 I am not certain; the
use of Glanville-Richards' work as a reference was ill-advised in hindsight.
This work is nicely written, but a comparison of the text in CP re: the
Earldom of Suffolk vs. the account in Records of the Anglo-Norman House of
Glanville will find a number of glaring problems, not the least of which is
the author's line of Glanville Earls of Suffolk.
For an interesting read, when so inclined, you can access the text of
this work on-line (a serious waste of bandwidth) at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jglanville/roanhg4.htm
For comparison, look at the SGM archives (preferably, start at least
with Todd Farmerie's post, under _Braose-Wingfield Connection_, giving the
text of Moriarty's discussion of Sir Richard de Brews and Sir John de
Wingfield).
Good luck, and good hunting.
Hello Paul,
Not sure, but a 1362 date would seem to be connected to the death of
William de Kerdeston, 2nd Lord Kerdeston (son-in-law of Sir Edmund Bacon) on
14 Aug 1361, leaving as heir of William de Kerdeston and his wife (the late
Margaret Bacon) their minor grandson, John de Burghersh. [See Tim
Powys-Lybbe's site, per my prior post]
Is anyone aware of the origins of this Richard de Beaumont??

CP XIV, 602 corrects the mistake of Katherine's ancestry and, even in
Vol XII/1 p. 440, note (c) adds that "Her parentage has not been proved
by charter evidence".
