Personal effects of Joan de Geneville

Legg inn av Kevin Bradford » 30 sep 2005 01:43:01

Below is a link to an interesting account of the personal property of a high-born medieval lady, Joan de Geneville [ob. 1356], the unfortunate consort of Roger Mortimer, earl of March. The occasion of this inventory was the arrest of Joan's husband in 1322:

What a fascinating document. It would be interesting to know what, if any,
of the mentioned items have survived. Are there current descendants who own
any of them I wonder?

Dear Merilyn (and Kevin),

A rather interesting document, esp. as relates to the contents. A
pity that a good art historian had not taken down the list: the
description in detail of the tapestries would be more interesting, if
not edifying.

Note that this is the famous (infamous) Roger de Mortimer (later to
be executed at Tyburn on 29 Nov 1330) and his wife Joan/Jeanne de
Geneville.

I can confirm that as one descendant of this couple, I do not now
have any of these items in my possession. Fairly certain I never had
them at any prior time, either.....;)

Cheers,

John

John,


Two of Mortimer's children, Katherine and Margaret, I number among my ancestors. As to the matter of inheritance, none of Joan's personal effects found their way into my mother's hope chest <smile>.

I don't suppose it's out of the realm of the possible that personal items can be inherited for so many generations, but I suspect of those that are still in families as opposed to museums, such articles would be held by modern-day royals and peers. The best I can do is produce a family Bible from the 1770s, and even then I had to get it back into the family by bidding on it in eBay.

Best,

Kevin

With six lines to that happy couple, I can only offer a bundle of
hearth-tax receipts from the later 1600s, a fat lot of good for any
genealogical purpose. But a memento of black times?

My children come down from four of the Mortimer children, Katherine,
Margaret, Edmund and Maud. Through me they have Katherine and through my
first husband they have all four of them.
And, no, we don't seem to have any of their tapestries hanging on our walls
either !
One of my given names is Mortimer, through a Scottish family of that name,
the earliest of whom I've traced to John Mortimer who died in 1733 in Dysart
Fife. I would love to be able to link them to the Norman family.
