Howard/Cornwall

[David Hall]

Further to the discussion on Joan de Cornwall, wife of Sir John
Howard, I quote the following from Blomefield's "History of Norfolk"
on the parish of St German's Wigenhale" (page 191):

John (Howard) was of age before his father's death, and married in the
2nd of Edward II, Joan daughter of Richard de Cornwall and Joan his
wife, and afterwards heir to Richard her brother, who bore argent, a
lion rampant, gules, in a bordure ingrailed sable,bezante, as
descended from Richard Earl of Cornwall, son of King John, and Emperor
of Germany. In the 15th of Edward II a fine was levied between him and
the lady Joan his wife, by which the manor of Wigenhale was settled on
them for life, remainder to John, their son; was also then lord of
East Winch, East Walton and Terrington; and Joan, widow of Richard de
Cornwall, on her daughter's marriage with Sir John, settled her lands
in Pentney, Nereford, Alesthorp, East Walton and the third part of her
manor in Tirington, on him, and her daughter Joan, and their heirs."

Perhaps something in Blomefield's quote might assist in unravelling
this mystery.

Thanks, David, for this and your previous, and I've spotted your 3-yr-old
query here on this line, with much sympathy! Yes, threading through the
pre-Joan and post-Joan holdings Blomefield mentions should help. I'll go
back to him, in fact, though as I said Richard [<-Richard<-Richard,
EofCornwall] locates more in the Thames valley counties -- and we'll see if
we can identify the <Royal Institution of Cornwall> article. Pity the
archives (GEN-Med) don't yield anything, so far as I can see, on Kay's
<Joan de Cornawall> affecting Howard. (There's Ed Mann's ahnentafel, but
Burke's his source on this Joan, and unencouraging.)

Best, and gratefully,

Cris
