CP Addition: Marriage Date of Henry de Grey and Joan de Cobham

[Douglas Richardson]

Dear Newsgroup ~

C.P. 5 (1926): 127 (sub Grey) contains an extremely brief account of
the life of Henry de Grey, Knt., son and heir apparent of John de
Grey, Knt., 3rd Lord Grey of Codnor. Regarding Henry de Grey's
marriage, it states the following:

"He m. Joan, da. of Reynold (de Cobham), Lord Cobham, by Joan, da. of
Thomas de Berkeley, Lord Berkeley."

Recently, I encountered the marriage license of Henry de Grey and his
wife, Joan de Cobham, in the register of William de Edington, Bishop
of Winchester:

"343. License granted to Reginald de Cobham, knight, and Joan his
wife for mass to be celebrated in any suitable place in the county and
diocese at the bishop's discretion; also for a marriage to be
celebrated between their daughter Joan and Henry son of John de Gray
at the castle of Sterburgh, diocese of Winchester. Southwark, 13
April 1358."

1346–1366, 2 (Hampshire Rec. Ser. 8) (1987): 45.
