CP Addition: Marriage of Margery Lady Hastings & John Wymondham
Douglas Richardson
Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 358-360 (sub Hastings) has a good account
of the history of Sir Edward Hastings (died 1438), of Elsing, Norfolk.
The editor states he married "2ndly, Margery, da. of Sir Robert
Clifton, of Bokenham, Norfolk, by Alice his wife." Following Sir
Edward Hastings' death, his widow, Margery, married "as 1st wife, John
Wymondham or Wyndham, of Felbridge and Runton, Norfolk."
No date is given in Complete Peerage for the marriage of Margery
(Clifton) Hastings and John Wymondham. However, the lease cited below
found in the A2A Catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp)
shows that Lady Margery Hastings and John Wymondham were married in or
before 1442:
