Alianor Arundel . . . was married for the first time about 1431 to Thomas Browne, Knt, of Betchworth Castle, Surrey, jure uxoris, son of Richard Browne, Knt. He was Treasurer of the Household to King Henry VI, and Sheriff of Kent 1440 and 1460. They had seven sons and two daughters. Sir Thomas Browne was convicted of high treason on 20 July 1460, and immediately beheaded. [Plantagenet Ancestry]

Note: The above states that Thomas was of Betchworth in right of his wife (jure uxoris), therefore the prior generations must have been of Eythorne, or someplace else?

Thomas married Eleanor FITZALAN, Heir Of Betchworth about 1431 in 1st Husband. Eleanor (daughter of Thomas FITZALAN, Sir Knight and Joan MOYNS) was born about 1415 in Beechwood, Sussex, England; died after 1 Jun 1469. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Hi,

Testamenta Vetusta (p 291) includes the Will of Joan Knowght of Taniford, Kent dated 1st June 1469. This Will was proved at Canterbury (no date given) - would this make it a PCC will, or should I look for at Kent Records Office?

She calls herself daughter and heir of Henry Knowght, so presumably she is unmarried, she also mentions her unnamed grandfather and grandmother, her two unnamed sisters and states she is next heir to her cousin Richard Malmayn.

She makes her principal beneficiary Lady Elianor Brown widow of Sir Thomas Brown and devises to Elianor her reversion of Richard Malmayn property of Pluke [near Tenterdon, Kent] and Waldersher, however she does not state if or what her connection is to Elianor Brown.

I am fairly confident that this Lady Elianor Brown is the daughter of Sir Thomas Arundel/Fitzalan of Betchworth Castle himself brother of John (1387-1421) 12th Earl Arundel. Elianor m 1434 Thomas Browne, who was later knighted, and executed July 1460 during the Wars of the Roses, however in "The Brownes of Bechworth Castle" John Pym Yateman refers to a deed of 1461 where it is stated that Elianor had remarried to Thomas Vaughn (also shown in Faris), but the name Vaughn does not appear in Joan Knowght's will (or, at least, not in the extracts given by Testamenta Vetusta)

Note: Subsequent correspondence to the above post, indicated the will was dated 1459, not 1469, which puts into doubt the death date of Thomas Browne, but I am sticking with the published source (Plantagenet Ancestry).

Notes:

John; never called to Parliament (perhaps because his mother was still living; if so it would strengthen the supposition that his father was called to Parliament as a peer in right of his wife; (see below against 17th/10th Earl where the Barony of Arundel and Mautravers are amalgamated); born 30 Nov 1364; served against Scots by land 1383 and at sea (against the French?) 1388; married by 1387 Elizabeth, daughter of 1st Lord (Baron) le Despenser, and died 14 Aug 1390. [Burke's Peerage]

Sir John d'Arundel (121-8), Lord Arundel. [Magna Charta Sureties, Line 14-9]

-----------------------

BARONY of ARUNDEL (II) 1379

JOHN D'ARUNDEL, son and heir, born 30 November 1364. He was never summoned to Parliament He was with the army in Scotland in 1383, and with the English Fleet in 1388. He married, before 1385, Elizabeth, daughter of Edward (DESPENSER), LORD Le DESPENSER, by Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Bartholomew (BURGHERSH), LORD BURGHERSH. He died 14 August 1390, and was buried in Missenden Abbey. On 15 July 1406 he is referred to as John Darundell Chivaler, and his son as John Darundell Esquire. His widow married William (LA ZOUCHE), LORD ZOUCHE OF HARYNGWORTH, who died 13 May 1396. She died 10 or 11 April 1408. Will, desiring to be buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, dated 4 Apri 1408. [Complete Peerage I:260, XIV:40, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: CP assumes that the reason he was not called was because this Barony, even though it was not named so, was really the Mautravers/Maltravers Barony in right of his mother Eleanor; and John died before she did and therefore was not summoned to Parliament. However since the title was Arundel, and not Mautravers, he can legally be assumed to be the 2nd of that title.

John married Elizabeth Le DESPENSER before 1385 in 1st Husband. Elizabeth (daughter of Edward II 1St Baron Le DESPENSER, Kg, Sir and Elizabeth De BURGHERSH) was born about 1367 in Essendine, Rutlandshire, England; died between 10 and 11 Apr 1408 in Harringworth, Northamptonshire, England; was buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire, England.
