C.P. Addition: Maud de Bernake, wife of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, Lord Cromwell
Douglas Richardson royalancestry@msn.com
Complete Peerage, 3 (1913): 551-552 (sub Cromwell) has a good account
of the life history of Sir Ralph de Cromwell (died 1398), 1st Lord
Cromwell. Regarding his marriage, Complete Peerage says the following:
"He married before 20 June 1366, Maud, sister and heir of William (who
died 18 Dec. 1360), and daughter of John Bernake, of Tattershall
aforesaid, by Joan, daughter and coheiress of John Marmion [Lord
Marmion] ... He acquired with his wife the estate of Tattershall, co.
Lincoln, livery being granted to them 18 March 1366/7, it having been
in the king's hands owing to the death of Sir John de Kirketon ...
[She] died 10 April 1419." [Note: Addition made from C.P. 14 (1998):
224].
Lady Maud de Cromwell was in fact the daughter of John de Bernake, Knt.
(died 1346), of Buckenham, Besthorpe, Denton, Hethersett, and
Wymondham, Norfolk (not Tattershall, Lincolnshire), by Joan, daughter
(but not coheiress) of John Marmion, Knt., 2nd Lord Marmion. Complete
Peerage gives no indication of Maud Bernake's birthdate, but various
family inquisitions indicate that she was born about 1335-8, being
aged 23 in 1360, and 24 or 26 in 1361, and aged 36 in 1382. I show
that Ralph Cromwell and Maud Bernake were married before 20 January
1360/1, which date is a good deal earlier than the date employed by
Complete Peerage.
Maud (de Bernake) de Cromwell was not the direct heiress of
Tattershall, Lincolnshire as suggested by Complete Peerage, nor did her
father, Sir John de Bernake, ever hold this property. Research
indicates that Maud's great-grandmother, Joan (de Tattershall) de
Driby, held the castle and manor of Tattershall as part of her
inheritance, and was granted a fair there in 1315. In 17 Edward II
[1323-4] Joan de Driby made a settlement of the castle and manor of
Tattershall, Lincolnshire on her younger son, Robert de Driby, for
life, with reversion to Maud's paternal grandparents, William and Alice
de Bernake [see Document #1 below]. It appears that this settlement
did not take effect, as the castle and manor of Tattershall were
afterwards held by Joan de Driby's eldest son and heir, John de Driby.
Sometime before his death in 1334, John de Driby gave Tattershall to
John de Kirketon, Knt., afterwards Lord Kirketon. Sir John de Kirketon
subsequently made settlements of this property in 1343 and 1352-3 [see
Documents #2-3 below]. Curiously, these settlements likewise did not
take effect. On Lord Kirketon's death in 1367, the castle and manor of
Tattershall were granted by the king to John de Driby's great-niece and
heiress, Maud de Bernake and her husband, Sir Ralph de Cromwell [see
Complete Peerage, 7 (1929): 338-340 (sub Kirketon); citing Cal. Close
Rolls, 1364-1369, pp. 322-323]. The bizarre descent of Tattershall,
Lincolnshire and the failure of three successive settlements give ample
testimony of the complexity of medieval land tenure. The source for

Complete Peerage states correctly that Maud (de Bernake) de Cromwell
was sole heiress in 1360 to her brother, William de Bernake. However,
research indicates that she was also heiress in 1386 to her uncle,
Robert de Bernake, of Markby, Lincolnshire, and co-heiress in 1394 to
her cousin, Mary de Percy, wife of John de Roos, 5th Lord Roos of
Helmsley.
Robert de Bernake's place in the Bernake family is proven by several
charters abstracted below [see Documents #1-12], the first being a
charter of Lady Maud de Cromwell's paternal grandparents, William and
Alice (de Driby) de Bernake, in which they granted property at Baston
for life to their younger son, Robert. The seal on this charter
displays the Bernake family arms: ermine, a fess. The source of the
documents below is Report on the Manuscripts of Lord de L'Isle & Dudley
Preserved at Penshurst Place, 1 (Hist. MSS. Comm. 77) (1925): 16.

In the next message in this thread, I plan to post an abstract of the
1386 will of Robert de Bernake, of Markby, Lincolnshire, which names
his niece, Maud (de Bernake) de Cromwell, as a legatee and as his
executrix.

As a followup to my first post on Maud de Bernake, wife of Sir Ralph de
Cromwell, I've posted below a copy of an abstract of the 1386 will of
her uncle, Robert [de] Bernake. Maud de Bernake is specifically
mentioned in the will as the testator's niece, she being called "lady
of Tattershall." He leaves her "a missal, a doublet of red cloth and
another of white linen." Maud is likewise named one of the executors
of the will. Another executor is Sir Simon [de] Roos, monk of
Spalding, who is quite possibly the son of Robert de Bernake's sister,
Maud de Bernake, wife of Sir James de Roos, of Gedney, Lincolnshire.
It appears that Robert de Bernake was a canon of Markby priory at the
time of his death, as he directs that his funeral is to be conducted
"as for a deceased canon."
In his will, Robert de Bernake names his deceased wife, Katherine
Friskney, who was previously buried in Markby Priory. Some years
before his deah, Robert de Bernake and Katherine his wife conveyed land
in Sutton, Lincolnshire by charter dated 1 August 1364 [Reference:
A.E.B. Owen, The Medieval Lindsey Marsh: Select Documents (Lincoln Rec.
Soc. 85) (1996): 113-114]. Thus, it appears that Katherine, wife of
Robert de Bernake, died sometime between 1364 and 1386.

The following three records relating to Robert de Bernake, uncle of
Lady Maud (de Bernake) de Cromwell, were found in the helpful online
A2A Catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp).
In all three documents, Robert de Bernake served as a witness for
conveyances involving the Willoughby family of Eresby, Lincolnshire.
In the first document dated 1364, Robert is styled "de Bryby," which is
surely an error for "de Dryby" or "of Dryby." In the first post in
this thread, I included a charter issued by Lady Maud (de Bernake) de
Cromwell in 1410, in which she mentioned a chantry at Driby,
Lincolnshire founded by her uncle, Robert de Bernake. So, Robert de
Bernake was definitely associated with Driby at some point in his life.

I am understanding that Maude Bernake who married Ralph Cromwell is the
daughter of John and Joan Marmion? That is the information I have in my
database, however, PRO has this; 1420 doc.-Cromwell of Tattershall Maud
[Bernake], who was the wife of Ralph de Cromwell, sr, kt, Lord: Norf, Lincs,
Northants, Notts, Derb. There is also a good discussion in 2001 Archives on
this family. I am particularily interested in the Kirketon connection and
the search for the Margaret heiress of Hundemanby who married Robert
Vipont.

A further interesting descent I noted from the de Cromwell - de
Bernake union is that of the late Lady Diana Spencer, and her sons,
HRH Prince William and HRH Prince Harry. That descent, via FitzWilliam
of Sprotborough and Copley of Sprotborough, is given below.

Thanks for sharing this descent from Maud de Bernake, Lady of
Tattershall, down to the modern English royal family. Much
appreciated.
I think it makes is all the more interesting when we can connect people
of yesteryear to real live descendants such as HRH Prince William.
Again, thanks John!

In an earlier post, I mentioned that a heraldic seal has survived for
Maud (de Bernake) de Cromwell's grandfather, Sir William de Bernake,
which displays the Bernake arms, ermine, a fess.
I've since determined that original heraldic seals have also survived
for both Maud de Bernake and her husband, Sir Ralph de Cromwell, 1st
Lord Cromwell. Descriptions of the seals can be found in Birch's
helpful work, Catalogue of Seals in the British Museum. Maud's seal
shows the Bernake arms in the dexter position, rather than the sinister
position, which I suspect was done to demonstrate her importance as a
major heiress. Curiously, Birch attributes this to an error of the
engraver. Perhaps an expert on heraldic seals can weigh in on this
point. Maud's seal also includes the arms of Tattershall, Driby, and
Marmion.

Thank you for your good post.
As you probably know, tinctures for arms are not shown on heraldic
seals. For that information, one must find the original arms of the
various families recorded in other sources. In this case, we are
fortunate in that representations of all of the arms found on the seals
of Sir Ralph and Maud de Cromwell are preserved in Tattershall Castle
in Lincolnshire. The existing castle is not the original edifice built
by the Tattershall family. Rather, the current building was erected by
Ralph Cromwell (died 1455), 3rd Lord Cromwell, Lord Treasurer of
England, which Ralph was a grandson of Ralph de Cromwell and Maud de
Bernake.
The various coat of arms found in Tattershall Castle are cited in an
interesting article in Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, 6 (1901): 33-41.
These arms are found repeatedly throughout Tattershall castle, that
is, in various windows, spandrils of a doorway, a fireplace, etc.
Cromwell: Argent a chief gules, over all a bend azure.
Tattershall: Chequy or and gules, a chief ermine.
Driby: Argent three cinquefoils, gules a canton gules.
Bernake: Ermine a fesse gules.
Marmion: Tinctures nor provided by writer.
The writer adds in a footnote: "The first shield in the fireplace on
the ground floor, i.e., gules 10 annulets or., has been supposed to be
an early shield of the Cromwell family." It is elsewhere called
"Cromwell Ancient."
Other arms represented in the castle include a lion rampant (perhaps
for Beler), Deincourt, Cromwell and Tattershall impaling Deincourt,
Cromwell and Tattershal quarterly, Clifton, and Grey of Rotherfield.
The last named arms, Grey of Rotherfield, represent the arms of Joan
Grey, mother of Margaret Deincourt (died 1454), wife of Ralph Cromwell,
3rd Lord Cromwell.

My file notes indicate that George, son and heir of Nicholas
Monboucher, was styled "nephew' [nepos] in the 1380's by Ralph de
Crumwell [Reference: Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1381-1385 (1897):
487]. The Ralph de Crumwell named in this record is almost certainly
Sir Ralph de Cromwell, 1st Lord Cromwell, of Tattershall, Lincolnshire,
who married Maud de Bernake. To date, however, I haven't found any
database which gives any connection between the Cromwell and Monboucher
families, nor is it mentioned by Complete Peerage.
This past week I encountered a helpful article by W.O. Massingberd on
the Monboucher family of Swinhope, Lincolnshire and Houghton,
Nottinghamshire in Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, 10 (1909): 66-73.
The article shows that Nicholas Monboucher, Knt., died in 1384. By a
wife, evidently his surviving widow, Margaret (living 1409), he had
five children, Bertram (died young before his father), George (d.s.p.
1409), Ralph (b. ca. 1383, d.s.p. 1416), Isabel (d.s.p. 1451, wife of
John Burgh), and Maud (b. ca. 1378, living 1451, wife of John
Kevermond, Gent., died 1435, of the City of Lincoln).
Mr. Massingberd fails to comment on any kinship between the Monboucher
and Cromwell families. I assume, however, that Margaret, surviving
wife of Sir Nicholas Monboucher, was the sister of Ralph de Cromwell,
1st Lord Cromwell (husband of Maud de Bernake). Evidence in support of
a near kinship between the Monboucher and Cromwell families may be seen
in the fact that Sir Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Lord Cromwell, was serving
as the chief trustee in 1451 for the estates of Isabel Monboucher, wife
of John Burgh.
Mr. Massingberd shows that Nicholas Monboucher's sole surviving child,
Maud (Monboucher) Kevermond, left a daughter and sole heiress, Agnes
Kevermond, wife of Thomas Billesby. This is confirmed by a document
dated 1444 found in the A2A Catalogue, in which Agnes, widow of Thomas
Billesby, is specifically called daughter and heir of John Kevermond.
An abstract of this record is copied below, along with another record
dated 1445, in which Agnes (Kevermond) Billesby names her son and heir,
Richard Billesby.
Agnes (Kevermond) Billesby certainly has living descendants. Agnes'
descendants down to the American colonist, William Asfordby, can be
found on the following website:
http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=DESC&db=linclinks&id=I10711
If anyone has additional particulars on the Monboucher family, I'd
appreciate hearing from them here on the newsgroup.

On the subject of Tattershall, one of my early colonist ancestors, John
Greene (Surgeon) of Rhode Island was married to a Joanne Tattershall.
As far as I can tell, her ancestry is unknown. Do you or anyone else
here know if anyone has worked on her ancestry?
The Greenes used the arms of the Greenes of Greens Norton,
Northamptonshire, but no one has proven the connection there, as far as
I know. Moriarty was not impressed that they used the same arms,
although John Greene did address a letter to the crown using those arms.

In an earlier post in this thread, I stated that Maud de Bernake, wife
of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, Lord Cromwell, was co-heiress in 1394 to her
cousin, Mary de Percy, wife of John de Roos, 5th Lord Roos of Helmsley.
This connection was overlooked by Complete Peerage in its account of
the Cromwell family.
Maud de Bernake's heirship is discussed in a good article entitled
"Candlesby Manor and Advowson" by W.O. Massingberd which appears in
Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, 6 (1901): 71-76. The author shows that
Candlesby manor passed by inheritance from the Tattershall family to
the Orreby family, and thence onto Mary de Percy, wife of Sir John de
Roos. Following Mary de Percy's death in 1394, the advowson and
evidently the manor passed to her distant Tattershall cousin, Maud de
Bernake, wife of Sir Ralph de Cromwell. Maud de Bernake presented to
the church of Candlesby in 1409. Her descendant, Maud, Lady
Willoughby, was holding the manor in 1466 and 1477.
Maud de Bernake's heirship to Mary (de Percy) de Roos is likewise
discussed in the history of the manor of Wardley, Rutland found in VCH
Rutland, 2 (1935): 53-54. The writer assumes that Maud de Bernake was
co-heir to that manor on Mary (de Percy) de Roos' death in 1394.
However, he notes that the Tattershall overlordship of this manor is
last mentioned in 1362.
Douglas Richardson royalancestry@msn.com
In my post earlier today (see copy below), I stated that Maud de
Bernake, wife of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, inherited the advowson and
"evidently" the manor of Candlesby, Lincolnshire in 1394 from her
Tattershall cousin, Mary de Percy.
I've since consulted the 1416 will of Maud (de Bernake) de Crommwell,
lady of Tattershall, a transcript of which is published in Report on
the Manuscripts of Lord de L'Isle & Dudley Preserved at Penshurst
Place, 1 (Hist. MSS. Comm. 77) (1925): 204-206.
Maud de Bernake's will specifically mentions her manor of Candlesby,
Lincolnshire. This evidence confirms that Maud inherited BOTH the
advowson and manor of Candlesby, Lincolnshire from her cousin, Mary de
Percy.

As a followup to my original post regarding the 1370 seal of Maud de
Bernake, wife of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, it appears that Maud was using
the same or similar seal as late as 1396. This seal displays the arms
of Bernake impaling Cromwell, rather than in reverse order was normally
done.
I haven't yet seen the depiction of Maud's seal which is displayed in
the Archaeologia article mentioned below. If the Archaeologia article
is correct, the fourth arms on Maud de Bernake's seal were correctly
ermine, a fess for Bernake, NOT vairé, a fess for Marmion as stated by
Birch's Catalogue of Seals.

I believe the Burdon/Burden family you asked about is a different
family than the Burton family mentioned in Maud de Bernake's charter.

The record below concerns a Lincolnshire Feet of Fines dated 1263,
which involves Hugh de Bernake and his wife, Maud. Hugh de Bernake and
his wife Maud are the patrilineal great-grandparents of Maud de
Bernake, wife of Sir Ralph de Cromwell, 1st Lord Cromwell. The
locality named in the fine, Woodthorpe, Lincolnshire, lies two miles
west of Markby, Lincolnshire. The manor of Woodthorpe eventually fell
by inheritance to Maud de Bernake, Lady Cromwell. It was mentioned as
one of Lady Cromwell's possessions in her will dated 1416 [see Report
on the Manuscripts of Lord de L'Isle & Dudley Preserved at Penshurst
Place, 1 (Hist. MSS. Comm. 77) (1925): 204-206]. It subsequently
passed to her grandson and heir, Ralph Cromwell, 3rd Lord Cromwell,
Lord Treasurer of England [Reference: Ibid., 207-208].
